Lyrics:

My woman went out this mornin', stayed out 'til both day and night
Come back jivin' me, say, 'Daddy, I'm treatin' you right'
Mama, you got to do better, babe, you got to do better
Babe, you got to do better, let another mama move in

I'm not rough, don't like to fight
Next woman I get she got to treat me right
Baby, you got to do better, mama, you got to do better
Baby, you got to do better, let another mama move in

I met a gal this mornin', she was sixteen years old
Say, if I would beat your woman she would satisfy my soul
Baby, you got to do better, (Spoken: Yes you is) baby, you got to do better
Baby, you got to do better, let another mama move in

Spoken: Play that thing now, boy!

Mama, you know you been talkin', 'bout you goin' and goin'
This mornin' will be your movin' time
Babe, you got to do better, (Spoken: That's what I'm talkin' 'bout) babe, you got to do better
Baby, you got to do better, let another mama move in

Get out of my kitchen, stop your hangin' around
You know a man gets tired of one woman all the time
Baby, you got to do better, baby, you got to do better
Baby, you got to do better, let another mama move in
