  • My baby don't have to worry, she don't have to rob and steal
    My baby don't have to worry, she don't have to rob and steal
    I give her everything she needs, I am her driving wheel

    She left me this morning, she said she would be back soon
    She left me this morning, she said she would be back soon
    She'll be back early Friday morning, either Saturday in the afternoon

    Everytime she walks, she shake like a leaf trembling on a tree
    Everytime she walks, she shake like a leaf trembling on a tree
    She said come home daddy, here's where you get steak, potatoes and tea Writer/s: ROOSEVELT SYKES

  • Hanry Scrotes from MoNothing wrong with a man taking care of everything like in this song. That is what a woman wants. Only a real weak submissive soyboy thinks it is chauvanistic because he knows he has nothing to offer a woman, so he says it is "offputting", because he can not do so. Jealous, weak, no value. Trying to bring down the high level man, out of weakness and jealousy. It will not work, soyboy.
