Ain't but one way out baby, 
Lord, I just can't go out the door 
Ain't but one way out baby, 
and Lord I just can't go out the door 
'Cause there's a man down there, 
might be your man I don't know 

Lord, you got me trapped woman, 
up on the second floor 
If I get by this time, 
I won't be trapped no more 
So raise our window baby, 
I can ease out soft and slow 
And Lord, your neighbors, no they won't be, 
talking that stuff that they don't know 

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place 
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place 
Ain't no way in the world, 
I'm going out that front door 
'Cause there's a man down there, 
might be your man I don't know 
'Cause there's a man down there, 
might be your man I don't know 

'Cause there's a man down there, 
Lord, it just might happen to be your man 
Lord, it just a might be your man 
Lord, it just a might be your man 
Oh baby, I just don't know
