Hit me in the heart, maybe I can see that I lost the only man I ever loved,
now I've got to forget him
Let me tell you I found out, I found out that you can't,
you can't trust your neighbor with your baby
A girlfriend of mine
Who lived next door
You know that girlfriend of mine
She just don't live there no more now
My baby used to go over for salt
But I found out she was giving him sugar
I trusted her with my baby and the low
-down dirty woman she took him
They say do unto neighbors as
you have them to do unto you
But my girlfriend didn't even
have a man to talk to
That's why you can't trust
your neighbor with your baby
Lord, no
Oh
Let me tell you when your girlfriend gets to winning,
she really don't leave too much
for you.
Let me tell you I found out,
I said I found out
Oh, can you hear me?
You better listen to me now, yeah
She eased her way long
into my house now
Just about a one hour before my sweet,
sweet man would come home
I noticed that she would bring him a
small teeny -weeny toddy
And all the time she was tryin'
to steal my man away
And, I said, you just can't,
you just can't
You can't trust your girlfriend with your baby,
no, no, no, no.
I used to send him over a song,
and she was giving him plenty of sugar.
And I slowed down, slowed down, slowed down, down again,
and that woman, she took him away from me.
You just can't
I want you to hear me now
Take it from somebody who knows
You just can't
I said you just can't trust her
You just can't trust her
