Trick Bag

 

Twelve o’clock at night, you walk out the door

And you told me baby, you were goin to the drug store

Well, in my mind I just knew you were lyin’

The drug store closed at a quarter 'til nine

And I said I saw you kissin’ Willie across the fence

Heard you tellin’ Willie I ain’t got no sense

The way you been actin’ is such a drag

You gonna put me in a trick bag

When I come home, you start an argument

Just to keep me from askin where my voodoo went

I kick out the front door, oh, I hear the back door slam

I look outa my window, somebody’s takin’ it on the lam

You know I saw you kissin’ Willie across the fence

Heard you tellin’ Willie I ain’t got no sense

The way you been actin’ is such a drag

You gonna put me in a trick Bag

We had a fight, baby, oh, and you got mad

You got on the telephone and called your mom and dad

Your dad said, "Yeah, now, brother, she’s my daughter, and I’m her paw"

"But, you ain’t nothin’ but a son-in-law"

You know I saw you kissin’ Willie across the fence

Heard you tellin’ Willie I ain’t got no sense

The way you been actin’ is such a drag

You gonna put me in a trick bag
