Letra Cheaper to keep her Johnnie Taylor

Cheaper to keep her

If you`re tied up
You`d better stay tied up
Cause it`s cheaper to keep her
This is from T services

It`s cheaper to keep her
It`s cheaper to keep her

When your little
Girl make you mad
And you get an attitude
And pack your bags

Five little children
That you`re leaving behind
Son, you`re gonna pay some
Alimony or do some time

That`s why
It`s cheaper to keep her
Help me say it, y`all
It`s cheaper to keep her

Staring that judge in the face
You`re gonna wanna cuss

You didn`t pay but two dollars
To bring the little girl home
Now you`re about to pay
Two thousand to leave her alone

You see another woman out there
And you wanna make a change
She aint gonna want you cause
You won`t have a damn thing

That`s why it`s cheaper to keep her

Everybody sing along with me

By the time you get through
Looking that judge in the face
You`re gonna wanna cuss
The whole human race

The grass is greener
Way over on the other side
When that Judge give
You that dirty look
You may as well put your
Money in momma`s pocketbook

Cost too much to leave her alone, yeah
