Now look here, baby
How can it be?
You ain't give me no jelly, baby
Then let me be

So, I feel like takin' it
Yes, I feel like takin' it
Yes, I feel like takin' it, baby
Ooo, an makin' my getaway

I don't believe, baby
In waiting for long
Ev'rytime I ask you, baby
There is something wrong

So, I feel like takin' it
Woo, I feel like takin' it
Yes, I feel like takin' it, baby
Ooo, an makin' my getaway

Don't come here, baby
Tellin' yo' hard luck tale
I'm gon' have it this mornin', baby
If I have to go to jail

'Cause I'm figurin' on takin' it
Woo, I'm figurin' on takin' it
Yes, I'm figurin on takin it, baby
Woo, an makin' my getaway

(instrumental)

You used-a control me, baby
But you can't no mo'
Ya better pull down your window, baby
You better lock your door

'Cause I'm thinkin' on takin' it
Woo, I'm thinkin' on takin' it
Yes, I'm figurin'' on takin it, baby
Woo, an makin' my getaway.
