Po' Girl What Sad Old Song
You know my man beats me, hits me everyday
You know my man's a low down dog, but I love him anyway
He's my kickin', kissin' man, I'm his black and blue lady
He may starve my affection, but he feeds my heroin addiction
He goes out drinkin' every night and don't come home til three
When he does he's drunk and mean, falls asleep on top of me
He's my kickin', kissin' man, I'm his black and blue lady
He may starve my affection, but he feeds my heroin addiction
When he brings his other women home, treats me like a whore
Weren't for the babies swear to god I'd walk right out that door
He's my kickin', kissin' man, I'm his black and blue lady
He may starve my affection, but he feeds my heroin addiction
I went to the doctor, doctor said tell me all your woes
When I did she said leave that dog, get on methadone
He might be a kickin', kissin' so-called man, but he ain't got the right to black and blue you lady
He ain't capable of affection, and he's killing you with a heroin addiction
So I took my kids, I burned his clothes, took his old machete knife
I moved in with that doctor, loving her has saved my life
She's my caring, kissing woman, I'm her black and blessed lady
She gives me all the affection and she can fill my methadone prescription

You gotta sing when the spirit says sing, you gotta sing when the spirit says sing
When the spirit says sing you gotta sing right along, you gotta sing when the spirit say sing
You gotta laugh when the spirit says laugh, you gotta laugh when the spirit says laugh
When the spirit says laugh you gotta laugh right along, you gotta laugh when the spirit say laugh
You gotta cry when the spirit says cry, you gotta cry when the spirit says cry
When the spirit says cry you gotta cry right along, you gotta cry when the spirit say cry
You gotta leave when the spirit says leave, you gotta leave when the spirit says leave
When the spirit says leave you gotta leave right along, you gotta leave when the spirit say leave
You gotta live when the spirit says live, you gotta live when the spirit says live
When the spirit says live you gotta live right along, you gotta live when the spirit say live
You gotta die when the spirit says die, you gotta die when the spirit says die
When the spirit says die you gotta die right along, you gotta die when the spirit say die
You gotta dance when the spirit says dance, you gotta dance when the spirit says dance
When the spirit says dance you gotta dance right along, you gotta dance when the spirit say dance
You gotta sing when the spirit says sing
