Take Care of Your Homework - Johnnie Taylor

Got to tell you true

I got to tell you true

Oh brother Jack you goin' with sister Sadie

When you ought to be home with your old lady

But your heart’s divided in so many pieces

Tryin' to please them both

Never pleasing neither

Oh Jack take it on back

Before your good thing is gone

Because the downfall of too many men

Is up keep of too many women

Take care of your homework fella

Because somebody will, oh yeah

You better take care of your homework, fella

If you don’t somebody will

Now wait a minute here

Oh brother Fred how you can run

Staying out all night leaving his homework undone

Now Fred’s old lady took as much as she could stand

Then one night the next door neighbor

Taken her in hand

Now fellas let me tell you

These girls are getting hip

You can only slide so long

Before you make a slip

Take care of your homework, fella

If you don’t somebody else will
