Don't call my name out your window when you're leavin';
I won't even turn my head.
Don't send your kinfolks to give me no talkin';
I'll be gone like I said.
You would say the same old thing that you'd been sayin' all the long.
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut till I'm gone.
Don't give me that old familiar cry and cuss and moan;
Under-stand your man. I'm tired of your bad-mouthin'.
Under-stand your man.
You can give my other suit to the Salvation Army,
And ev'rything else I leave be-hind.
I ain't talkin' nothin' that'll slow down my trav'lin',
While I'm untanglin' my mind.
I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore,
While I'm breathin' air that ain't been breathed before.
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter;
Then you'll under-stand your man.
Medi-tate on it. Under-stand your man.
You hear me talk-in', honey? Under-stand your man.
'Member what I told ya. Under-stand your man.
Under-stand your man. (Fade out)
