[Lyric] If You Want to Keep Him (The Raelettes)

[Verse 1]
Hey, girl you better listen
I got somethin' you oughta know
It's plain and simple, so if you don't hear me
And you falter, then I told you so
Get out of that dirty dress, you know your hair look a mess
Don't dare let your man see you that way
Put your makeup on, girls, get off the telephone
And greet him at the door with somethin' sweet to say

[Chorus]
'Cause if you want to keep him (Keep him)
You better learn how to treat him (Treat him)
Better (Better)
Than the other woman do (Other woman do, hey)

[Verse 2]
If your man is missin', you better find out who he's kissin'
'Cause someone else, oh, is gettin' your time
Lovin's gettin' feeble, 'cause you act so mean and evil
Oh, and a man's got to find somewhere to rest his mind, yeah
'Cause she's young and pleasin', and ready all fo' seasons
To do any, anything that man wants to do
She's free from demand, she's got a real good understandin'
And she's always ready to try somethin' new
[Interlude]
You know, girls, I don't mean no harm
And I ain't tryin' to run your life
But you know, a little education ain't never hurt nobody
So I trust that y'all understand what I mean, when I say

[Chorus]
If you want to keep him (Keep him)
You better learn how to treat him (Treat him)
Girl, make the pain better (Better)
Than the other woman do, hey, hey
If you want to keep him (Keep him)
You better learn how to treat him (Treat him)
So much better (Better)
Than the other woman do, hey, hey (Other woman do, hey)
If you want to keep him (Keep him)
You better learn how to treat him (Treat him)
Oh yeah (Better)
Than the other woman do (Other woman do)
