You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

Now, when I was with my husband he was really mean
But when I'm with my man he treats me like a queen

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man

I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand
Now the money my husband made was for red beans and rice
My man gives me steaks, now ain't that nice?

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

The money my husband made was for red beans and rice
My man keeps me in steaks, now ain't that nice?

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

[Instrumental]

The money my husband made was for red beans and rice
My man keeps me in steaks, now ain't that nice?

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

Yes. . . he's mine
Don't mess with him
Leave him alone!
