Don't Take Me For All That I Got ©
by Tommie Ward
Verse 1:
Me and my ole lady just had a divorce, she couldn't cease her cheating so I left her, of course. And now she's coming back trying to take me to court, convincing the judge why I should pay child support. She won the case and got full custody of our lad, if it wasn't for my lawyer, would've gotten everything I had... ("Oh but she couldn't!!")
Chorus:
Don't take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" don't cha try to take me for all that I got. "oh no!" Please don't take me for all that I got. No, no. don't take me for all that I got.
Verse 2:
Half of my bank account went to her, along with the houseboat and different coats of fur. Left me the furniture and a Ford pickup truck, now at the front door she had the nerve to wish me luck. But before I vamoosed she retrieved, her jewelry box and all the extra cash in there hidden in a pair of socks... ("Oh Lord!")
Chorus:
Don't let her take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" don't cha try to take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" Please don't take me for all that I got. No, no. don't take me for all that I got.
Verse 3:
I gotta run while I stil got these clothes on my back!
Don't see a thing comical, cause now I gotta go live in a shack and this alone is gonna hurt my reputation, when all my friends hear about it at my occupation of how I've been swindled by my own ex wife, but it all matters not to me, as long as she's out of my life... ("Thank goodness Lord!")
Chorus:
Don't let her take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" don't cha try to take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" Please don't take me for all that I got. No, no. don't take me for all that I got.
Chorus:
Don't take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" don't cha try to take me for all that I got. "oh no!" Please don't take me for all that I got. No, no. don't take me for all that I got.
Chorus:
Don't take me for all that I got. "Oh no!" don't cha try to take me for all that I got. "oh no!" Please don't take me for all that I got. No, no. don't take me for all that I got.
