Lyrics
Chorus:
You’re always messin’ ’round with my man
Imagine how I feel if you can
If you doan keep yo’self away from one I prize
I’m gonna cut a triflin’ yellow down to my size
My papa never treated me cool
But you jus’ made him act a fool
If you doan keep yo’ big nose in its proper place
They’re gonna lose a member of the “cullud” race
I’m warnin’ you ’cause I understan’
You’re always messin’ ’round with my man
