Lyrics

Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Do I have to keep you under lock and key? Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Now we both know that's not how it should be Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? You're a sweet, fine, sexy woman and you're good to a man 'Cause if I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama I hope that you will understand If I have to keep you barefoot and pregnant To keep you here in my world Get down and take off your shoes Girl, I'm gonna do to you what it is I've got to do If we've been bondin' like you say that we do I think you won't mind if I'd be possessive, now would you? Your creature lacked lovin', you know it is the flame That's why I can ask you and not even feel ashamed Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Are you susceptible to flatter and game? Lord, we can game Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Will you submit to other humans that calls your name? 'Cause if I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama Don't you know I know as that would be on que Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? I don't mind, I'll put 'em on, you're being a fool I don't care if I'm lookin' like a chauvinistic kind of whatever Some kind, Carl, you can go to hell Then if I find out I need some help I'm gonna pull on out my chastity belt What it is I've got to do If we've been bondin' like you say that we do Then you won't mind if I be possessive, now would you? Your creature locked lovin', you know it's the flame That's why I can ask you and not even feel ashamed Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Do I have to keep you under lock and key? Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Now we both know that's not how it should be Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? Are you susceptible to flatter and game? Lord, we can game Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama? You're a sweet, fine, sexy woman and you're good to a man Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
