Lyric Keep What You Got (1946)
Take care of the woman you ve got, let your best friend s gal alone.
Take care of the woman you ve got, let your best friend s gal alone.
Cause if you take his woman, somebody s sure to wreck your home.
Brother, if you bite yourself be bitten, and that ain t no lie.
Brother, if you bite yourself be bitten, and that ain t no lie.
And if you don t stay away from your pal s gal, somebody s got to die.
You got a woman who loves you, why don t you let that do?
She s fine looking and she loves you, why don t you let that do?
But you re not the type to be satisfied, you want something that don t belong to you.
Brother every clothes - I ain t sleeped - every good-bye is gone.
Every clothes - I ain t sleeped - every good-bye is gone.
But when you dead you stay dead, God bless the man that has his own.
Take care of the woman you ve got, let your best friend s gal alone.
Cause if you take his woman, somebody s sure to wreck your home.
Brother, if you bite yourself be bitten, and that ain t no lie.
Brother, if you bite yourself be bitten, and that ain t no lie.
And if you don t stay away from your pal s gal, somebody s got to die.
You got a woman who loves you, why don t you let that do?
She s fine looking and she loves you, why don t you let that do?
But you re not the type to be satisfied, you want something that don t belong to you.
Brother every clothes - I ain t sleeped - every good-bye is gone.
Every clothes - I ain t sleeped - every good-bye is gone.
But when you dead you stay dead, God bless the man that has his own.
