Don't Get Mad, Get Even



 

(Tyler/Perry)



I'll tell you little secret make you want to jump and shout

when you talk to me in circles take your foot out of your mouth

it's hard enough to make it when you're livin' on the street

and you want to tell somebody but you got to be discreet

then you catch your girlfriend with her skirt hiked up to here

honey, don't get mad, get even



don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even



say the times they be a-changin' though the blind lead the blind

you know your head is empty though there's somethin' on your mind

been shackin' up with Lucy, then when the morning comes

you're with Sally in the alley and the junkies and the bums

you wonder why your girlfriend has her skirt hiked up to here

honey, don't get mad, get even



don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even

don't get mad, get even



 

(...'til I can see the white o' your eyes, baby...)

 

(...I'm gonna kick ass...)

 

(...just wait 'til you see what I got in store for you)



roll the dice get lucky 'cause they roll you for the dime

you got nothin' else to lose if you only lose your mind

when pleasure that is shallow causes trouble to be deep

you've been dusted with the devil while he sweeps you off your feet



I'll tell you little secret make you want to jump and shout

when you talk to me in circles take your foot out of your mouth

it's hard enough to make it when you're livin' on the street

and you hate to be a wiseguy when your feet are in concrete

oh, sleepin' with the dogs, and you wake up with the fleas

honey, don't get mad, get even
