You Better Keep It On Your Mind

Now if you go out and start playing around

Your baby's gonna tear your playhouse down

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You'll be moanin' and groanin'

Lord, you better keep it on your mind

Now wrong is wrong and right is right

If you make a snake mad, he's sure gon' bite

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better keep it on your mind all the time

I've had it proven to me

Lord, you better keep it on your mind

Every fuss with a woman has got the same ol' end

I don't believe the good Lord meant for a man to win

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You'll be singing blue and lonesome

Lord, you better keep it on your mind

If you make your baby mad and she says goodbye

There ain't a thing you can do but sit at home and cry

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better call her sweet mama

Lord, you better keep it on your mind

If the judge says, "Pay her 40 dollars a week"

You'll dig up the money or you'll work the streets

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better keep it on your mind all the time

When you're wearing striped britches

Son, it's gonna stay on your mind

So kiss her every mornin' and love her every night

Boy, you can't win no matter if you're right

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better keep it on your mind all the time

You better heed this warning

Lord, you better keep it on your mind
