Rip off! hey, that's what it is (you got that right)

I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls
I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls

My man never gives me credit,
He always plays me cheap.
But a woman is thinking,
While her man is fast asleep.

I know he's cheating,
But I'm sweet as I can be.
He thinks he's making
A fool outta me.

But I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls (that's all it is)
I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls.

Early in the mornin' (Un Huh)
He put his key in the door (yeah)
With his shoes in his hands
I meet him tippin' across the floor (I know he's tippin')

I forced a smile
Had his slippers for his feet
Coffee in the pot
And somethin' good to eat

Coz I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls (he don't even know it)
I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls

Talk:

Ah but one of these days, he's gonna walk through that door,
and girls his good thing will be gone. I'm movin him out.
Starting with the sofa, the chairs, and both TVs,
I feel like he owe it all to me.
I'm not gonna leave him a box to sit on,
I'm taking the carpet off the floor,
and wall paper off the walls.
I'm taking the telephone so he can't make no calls.
This fool is in for the shock of his life,
I'm tired of being neglected,
Coz I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls (he don't know it)
Setting him up, oh for the rip off girls

He's dreamin' and I'm scheming ha ha ha ha
And he's tippin' while I'm rippin' ha
It ain't nothin' but a rip off

I'm setting him up, oh for the rip off girls
Rip Offff Hey that's all it is
