Lyrics

I love my man I'm a liar if I say I don't I love my man I'm a liar if I say I don't But I'll quit my man I'm a liar if I say I won't I've been your slave baby Ever since I've been your babe I've been your slave Ever since I've been your babe But before I be your dog I'll see you in your grave My man wouldn't give me no breakfast Wouldn't give me no dinner Squawked about my supper Then he put me outdoors Heaven erred to late A matchbox on my clothes I didn't have so many But I had a long, long ways to go I ain't good lookin' And my hair ain't curls I ain't good lookin' And my hair ain't curls But my mother she gave me something It's going to carry me through this world Some men like me 'cause I'm happy Some 'cause I'm snappy Some call me honey Others think I've got money Some say, "Billie Baby, you're built for speed" Now if you put that altogether Makes me everything a good man needs
