Mmm...mmm...mmmm
Seems like being true to the man u marry, ain’t enough anymore
You got to learn to do something special, to keep him from walking out the door

And staying home being a lady, it no longer makes him respect ya
You got to learn the tricks of the street, or else he’s gonna neglect ya

You got to star acting like a ball of fire, instead of a block of ice,(in other words)
Ya gotta love him like you’re his outside woman, if u want him to treat u like a wife

Mmmm...and being a do-right woman all the time, no longer makes the grade
No longer makes him come straight home, when ever he gets paid

And staying at home 7 days a week, will make him too sure of himself
And then he’ll think he doesn’t have to worry, so he’ll go and find somebody else

So u gotta start acting like a ball of fire, instead of a block of ice,(listen)
Ya gotta love him like you’re his outside woman, if ya want him to treat u like a wife

If you’re smart you’ll take my advice, believe me I know
For my man I was the perfect lady, and now I don’t have him anymore

Ya gotta love him...ya gotta love him like you’re his outside woman, if u wanna be treated like a wife
Ya gotta love him...love him..(repeat & fade)
