Johnnie Taylor Cheaper To Keep Her


You tied up, you better stay tied up
Cause it's cheaper to keep her, this is from T, who
says
It's cheaper to keep her, it's cheaper to keep her

When your little girl makes you mad
And you get an attitude and pack your bags
Five little children that you're leavin' 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 (It's cheaper to keep her)
When you get through starin' that judge in the face
You're gonna want to cuss the whole human race

That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to
keep her)
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's
cheaper)
(It's cheaper to keep her)

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 want to make a
change
She ain't 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)
It's cheaper to keep her (it's cheaper to keep her)
By the time you get through lookin' that judge in the
face
You're gonna want to cuss the whole human race

That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to
keep her)
It's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her)
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's
cheaper)
(It's cheaper to keep her)

I know you think the grass is greener
Way over on the other side
When that judge gives you that dirty look
You may as well put your money in mama's pocketbook

That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to
keep her)
It costs too much to leave her alone, yeah (It's
cheaper to keep her)
I know it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep
her)
'Cause you're gonna pay some alimony if you leave home
I tell y'all - it's cheaper to keep her - all the
fellows I know are talkin' about it
It's cheaper to keep her, I gotta tell you
