Betty Wright - Outside Woman [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Seems like being true to the man you marry
Ain't enough anymore
You got to learn to do something special
To keep him from walking out the door
And staying home being a lady
It no longer makes him respect yah
You got to learn the tricks of the street
Or else he's gonna neglect yah

[Chorus]
You got to start acting like a ball of fire
Instead of a block of ice
Ya gotta love him like you're his outside woman
If you want him to treat you like a wife

[Verse 2]
And being a a do-right woman all the time
No longer makes the grade
No longer makes him come straight home
Whenever he gets paid
And staying at home 7 days a week
Will make him too sure of himself
And then he'll think he doesn't have to worry
So he'll go and find somebody else

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
If you're smart you'll take my advice
Believe me I know
For my man I was the perfect lady
And now I don't have him anymore

[Chorus]
