You had all the men ravin', baby, you sure did think you hot.
You think 'cause you good lookin', that you really hits the spot.
But here's a little black gal that's got the right kinda lovin', that makes the men all cry and shout.
You see, it ain't what you usta be, baby, its what you are today.
It ain't what you usta be, baby, its just what you are today.
You see, your good looks didn't hold your man, an' little black gal's lovin' stole your man away.
Never tell other women 'bout the good things your man can do.
Never tell other women, always keep it to yourself.
If your best girlfriend can't get your man, she'll cloak him for somebody else.
I've got a woman now that I love better than I love myself.
I've got a woman now that I love better than I love myself.
She treats me so cold sometime I think she've got somebody else.

You had all the men ravin', baby, you sure did think you hot.
You think 'cause you good lookin', that you really hits the spot.
But here's a little black gal that's got the right kinda lovin', that makes the men all cry and shout.
You see, it ain't what you usta be, baby, its what you are today.
It ain't what you usta be, baby, its just what you are today.
You see, your good looks didn't hold your man, an' little black gal's lovin' stole your man away.
Never tell other women 'bout the good things your man can do.
Never tell other women, always keep it to yourself.
If your best girlfriend can't get your man, she'll cloak him for somebody else.
I've got a woman now that I love better than I love myself.
I've got a woman now that I love better than I love myself.
She treats me so cold sometime I think she've got somebody else.

I've got a woman now that I love better than I love myself.
She treats me so cold sometime I think she've got somebody else.
