Songtext von You Keep Her

James, I got your letter It came to me today You said I could have my baby back But I don't want her that way So you keep her, you keep her Because, man, she belongs to you She didn't make up her own mind To come on home to me So, I found me someone else And we're happy as can be So you keep her, you keep her Because now, she belongs to you But you can tell her I said hello, James And remember to always be your lady 'Cause you see, when she was with me, James I taught her that a lady stays in a lady's place And I was the one who taught her Esther, didn't I teach her how to make up her face? I taught her how to pick the clothes And the jewelry to wear And I was the one who taught her How to style her hair My, my, my, she left me After I taught her these things Now, she didn't make up her own mind, James To come on home to me So, I found me someone else And we're happy as can be So you keep her, you keep her Because now, she belongs to you
