lyrics

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don’t advertise your man
Don’t sit around, gossip-in’, explainin’ what your good man can do
You know women now days, lord they ain’t no good
They laugh in your face, then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don’t advertise your man

Now your best friend, she might be a highbrow
Changes clothes three times a day
So what do you think she’s doin’ now, when your so far away?
Well she’s lovin your man, in your own damn bed
Better call for the doctor, honey, try to investigate your head

Women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don’t advertise your man
Don’t sit around, gossip-in’, explainin’ what your good man can do
If you talk about your baby, tell me he’s so fine
Lord honey, I’m gonna sneak out, and try to make him mine
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut, don’t advertise your man
Don’t be a fool, don’t, advertise, your man
