Lyrics:

This is dedicated to a special sister
And this could be anyone

You think good loving is love
And you’re the one he’s thinkin’ of
But all he’s gotta do is smile
And you’re played like a little child

You stay out all night long
And you think you’ve done nothin’ wrong
Soon there’ll be no ringin’ of your phone
‘Cause they don’t want you when you’re youth is gone

You are a hoe and you don’t know
Know everyone in town says so
You are a hoe and you don’t know
Feel so sorry for your so and so

I’ve got something on you
See, I’ve been a girl and a woman too
How will you ever find a love that’s true
Lettin’ every man do what he wants to do to you

See, you are a hoe and you don’t know
Know everyone in town says so
You are a hoe and you don’t know
Feel so sorry for your so and so

Now I wouldn’t give no advice to you
That I would not give myself - no
‘Cause I believe in goin’ right to the source
Wouldn’t tell nobody else - tell nobody else

And you’re such a sweet girl, if you tell your love
And you tell him what you could be
See, I had to say what was in my heart
‘Cause it was killin’ me - killin’ me

It was killin’ me - killin’ me (2x)
Ooh, ooh

Ooh, you’re a hoe and you don’t know
Feel so sorry for your so and so

See, I was tired of Patti tellin’ Gayle
Doris heard it even in jail
You don’t seem to be gettin’ any better
So it’s better than writin’ a letter

I had to say it
Ooh, I had to say it (Had to say it)
Mmm.

You’re a hoe and you don’t know
Everyone in town says so
But God he still loves you so
He can pick you up off the floor,
Then you don’t have to be a hoe, no, no

Hoe and you don’t know
Everyone in town says so
You’re a hoe and you don’t know
I feel so sorry for your so and so

But I’m prayin’ for you - prayin’ for you
I’m prayin’ for you - prayin’ for you (2x)
I’m prayin’ for you
‘Cause you’re my girl - you’re my girl
And you, I love you so
Doo (12x)

Oh (3x)
I don’t wanna her no phone calls
I don’t wanna hear from my friends at all
‘Cause I already know what they’re gonna say
I’m tired - I’m tired of replay - of replay

You’re a hoe and you don’t know
I’m so tired of ‘em sayin’ so (2x)
You’re a hoe and you don’t know
Feel so sorry for your so and so

You don’t have to be a hoe no more
You can pick your heart up off the floor
‘Cause God he still does loves you so
You don’t have to be a, you don’t have to be a (2x)
Hoe
