Do Your Duty Lyrics


If I cal three times a day baby
Come and drive my blue away
When you come,be ready to play
Do your dutyIf you want to have some love
Give your baby your last buck
Don't come quackin' like a duck
Do your dutyI heard you said you didn't love me,baby
Down at
I don't believe a word she said
She's the lyinest woman in townOh babe,when I need attention at home
I'll just call you on the telephone
Come yourself,don't send your friend Jones
Do your dutyIf my radiator gets too hotCool it off in lots of spots
Give me all the service you've got
Do your dutyIf you don't know what it's all about
Don't sit around my house and pout
If you do you'll catch your mama tippin' now
Do your dutyIf you make your own bed hard

That's the way it lies
I'm tired of sleepin' by myself
But you're too dumb to realizeI'm not tryin' to make you feel blue
I'm not satisfied with the way you do
I've got to help you find somebody too
Do your duty
Do your duty
