Oh don't make me pay for his mistakes, he's the one who did you wrong
Baby, don't make me pay for his mistakes, he's the one who did you wrong
He's the one who gave you six babies, I'm the one who tried to give them a home
You know I'm tired of you telling me about how your man did you wrong and how he used to take your welfare and leave the kids without a crumb
But hey, I'm the one who's working, baby, I'm the one who's trying to give them a home
Yes I am, I'm the one who's going to love you, baby, I'm going to give them a home
You know I don't understand baby, how you can let a woman treat a man so bad
She taking a good man and giving him everything she had
She reached back in the cookie jar and give him every dime
She let the kids running around hungry and screaming and crying
Don't make me pay for his mistakes, baby
I'm the one that's trying to love you
I'm the one that's trying to give them a home
