Lyrics

Clara, who was that man

I saw you with the other

day?

Said,

"Baby, that was my smooth black

daddy

that we call Charlie

Gray."

Don't you know

that my man

gets

satisfied?

I ain't seen your

name printed on

his back.

You

better

let

him

be. What on gap me

call,

you ain't talking to me.

That's my man,

I want him for my

own.

No, no,

he's my sweet daddy.

You better leave that man

alone.

See that suit he got

on? I bought it

last

week.

I been buying clothes for five

years. Put that in my

back seat. [whistling]

Is that you, honey?

Ain't nobody but. Who's that here?

It sounds like Charlie.

It is my man, sweet Papa Charlie Gray.

Your man? How do you get that way?

Now, look here, honey, I been had

that man for

fourteen years.

Child,

don't you know how to turn your damper

down?

Yes, Clara, and I'll cut you every way but

loose.

Well, you might as well get it fixed.

Well, gee,

I guess we got to have him

on cooperation

plan.

I guess we got to have him

on cooperation plan.

Bethany.

Clara.

Ain't nothing different

'cause I love

you.

'Cause ain't nothing different 'cause I

love you.

My man.

How about it?

Suits me.

Suits me. Well, gee
