The Truest Woman In The World
Listen, children
You know everybody has got a favorite song
They like to hear sung
We know that everybody else
Got a favorite place
They've always dreamed of going
Everybody has got someone they love
So much, they do anything they say
And everybody's got someone they
Care so much about
They'd let 'em have their own way
But you see, the trouble is today
Ninety-eight percent of us are
Jealous and 'spicious
And the other two percent of
Us are sneakin' around
Tryin' to find out what's goin' on
Where are you today, listen to me
If you got someone that you love a lot
And that someone leaves you for somebody else
And there's nothin' you can do
In your power to stop
Let me tell you one thing today, children
They didn't belong to you in the first place
Oh no, they didn't
But I'll be able, children
I'm so proud to stand here
Before you and confess today
That I feel that I've got
A woman I can trust
And she's either got to be the
Truest woman in the world
Or the sneakiest, ha ha!
'Cause I tell you what I did
Left home early one morning
About three weeks ago
And when got back home
I checked with the telephone company
To see if any men had called my house
Not a-one
And the only men that had been to my door
Uh, were the milk man and the uh uh, mail man
Now I know what y'all are
Sayin' out there right now
You lookin' at one another sayin' "Well
It coulda been one of them"
But I'mma step ahead of you, children
You see, i'm one of that two percent I
Was talkin' about a while ago
That's still sneakin' around
Tryin' to find out what's goin' on
Tryin' to catch you in somethin'
And listen to me, hoo
So everywhere help me keep my eye
On my baby
