Outside Woman (Remastered Lp Version) - Betty Lavette

Seems like being true to the man you marry

Ain't enough anymore

You got to learn to do something special

To keep him from walking out the door

And staying home being a lady

It no longer makes him respect yah

You got to learn the tricks of the street

Or else he's gonna neglect yah

You got to start acting like a ball of fire

Instead of a block of ice

Oh never word

Ya gotta love him like you're his outside woman

If you want him to treat you like a wife

And being a do right woman all the time

No longer makes the grade

No longer makes him come straight home

Whenever he gets paid

And staying at home 7 days a week

Will make him too sure of himself

And then he'll think he doesn't have to worry

So he'll go and find somebody else

You got to start acting like a ball of fire

Instead of a block of ice

Oh never word

Ya gotta love him like you're his outside woman

If you want him to treat you like a wife

If you're smart you'll take my advice

Believe me I know

For my man I was the perfect lady

And now I don't have him anymore

You got to

Ya gotta love him like you're his outside woman

If you want him to treat you like a wife

Ya gotta love him like you're his outside woman

If you want him to treat you like a wife

Ya gotta love him

If you want him

Say you more said if you

You want him to treat like a wife

Oh give him you love

Give him you love

If you want him to treat you like a wife

Love love love

Love love love
