How Can You Leave a Man Like This?

Jerry Wexler, LaVern Baker

[Verse 1]
Well, my man, he sure mistreats me
First, he'll love me, then he'll feed me
Yes, he coos me, then he'll fool me
How can you leave a man like this?

[Verse 2]
Well, I give him all my earnin's
'Cause I get them while he's turnin'
And he sets my soul a-burnin'
How can you leave a man like this?

[Verse 3]
I packed my bags, and I went away
Things got rough, and I couldn't stay
But I came back on bended knee
Forgive me, baby, if you please

[Verse 4]
Well, he likes to handlize me
And his way sure scandalize me
But he always satisfies me
How can you leave a man like this?

[Saxophone Solo]
Yeah!

[Verse 5]
He spends my bread on fancy chicks
He drives them crazy with all his tricks
He balls all night, and he sleeps all day
He's oh so sportin' on my pay

[Verse 6]
Yes, he hugs me, then he'll chill me
Oh, he bugs me, and he'll thrill me
His sweet lovin' really kills me
How can you leave a man like this?
