Lyrics:

Ooh, my Desdemona
Our loving's been so good
You know I want to own you
I wonder if I could

Such a fine kind of lady
Making the boys so crazy
There's something you should know
About Desdemona

Don't you ever leave me
Don't know what I'd do
(Don't know what he'd do)
Can't I just believe your love
Is really true
(Desdemona)
She just might deceive you
Take you for a fool
(Take you for a fool)
I can't stand the thought of someone
Touching you
(Desdemona)

You say that she's been messing
With a friend of mine
Don't you keep me guessing
What I'm gonna find
('Bout Desdemona)

She's not just your woman
You're not her only man
(Not her only man)
If I can't have her for myself
Then no one can
(Desdemona)

I'm warning you
Don't know what I'll do
If your love isn't true
(Desdemona
He's warning you
Don't know what he'll do
If your love isn't true
Desde-, Desde-, Desdemona)

Desdemona
(Don't you ever leave him)
Watch your step
(Don't know what he'd do
Don't know what he'd do)
If you're stepping out on me
(He just can't believe your love
Is really true
Desdemona)
Desdemona
(She just might deceive you)
Don't know what I'll do
(Take you for a fool
Take you for a fool)
If you leave me
(He can't stand the thought of someone
Touching you
Desdemona)

I'm warning you
Don't know what I'll do
If your love isn't true
(Desdemona
He's warning you
Don't know what he'll do
If your love isn't true
Desde-, Desde-, Desdemona
Desde-, Desde-, Desdemona
Desde-, Desde-, Desdemona
He's warning you).
