1. You know I'm hooked for you mama
   That's why you sling your weight around   
   You Know I'm hooked for you mama
   That's why you sling your weight around   
   But as long as your lovin' beats your hoggin'
   Little Girl I'll never put you down

2. You argue when I leave for work
   You argue when I get home
   Everything I try to do for you
   You always say that I'm wrong
   I bring you home all my money
   Except the little I keep for expense
   And when I get home to you mama you always tell me
   ''Ray you ain't got nooo sense''

R: But on the other hand baby
   You I can understand
   Ah, But when you put your loving arms around me honey
   You make me forget about everything

3. I think about the lousy way you treat me
   Your always-raising sin
   I know that you know that I know
   That you've got another man
   Ah, Half the time that I'm at home
   I have to go to a café and eat
   And when you argue all night long
   I have to go down to the den and sleep

R: But on the other hand baby
   Your loving eases all my pain
   And when you put your loving arms around me honey
   You make old Ray forget about everything
