You Took My Man (04-16-46) - Ethel Waters

You’ve come to tell me something

You say I ought to know

That he don’t love me anymore and I’ll have to let him go

You say you’re gonna take him

But I don’t believe you can

Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my man

Women like you they’re a dime a dozen

You can buy 'em anywhere

For you to get to him I’d have to move over

And I’m gonna stand right here

It’ll be over my dead body so get out while you can

Cause you ain’t woman e-nough to take my man

Sometimes a man’s caught looking

At things that he don’t need

He took a second look at you but he’s in love with me

I don’t know where that leaves you

But I know where I stand

And you ain’t woman enough to take my man

Women like you they’re a dime a dozen

You can buy 'em anywhere

For you to get to him I’d have to move over

And I’m gonna stand right here

It’ll be over my dead body so get out while you can

Cause you ain’t woman e-nough to take my man

Cause you ain’t woman enough to take my man
