Women be Wise Songtext
von Bonnie Raitt

Women, be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don′t advertise your man
Don't sit around gossiping
Explaining what your good man really can do
Some women nowadays, Lord, they ain′t no good
They will laugh in your face
Then try to steal your man from you
Women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man


Your best girlfriend, she might be a highbrow
Changes clothes three times a day
What do you think she's doing now
While you′re so far away?
She′s loving your man in your own damn bed
You better call for the doctor, honey
Try to investigate your head
Now, women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man

Now, women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don′t advertise your man
Don't sit around, girl, tellin′ all your secrets
Tellin' all those good things he really can do
If you talk about your baby, you tell me he′s so fine
Lord, honey, I just might sneak up, try to make him mine
Now, women be wise, keep your mouth shut
Don't advertise your man
Don't be no fool
Don′t advertise your man
Baby, don′t do it
