Born Yesterday Songtext
von Little Milton

(You know, sometimes we men have a tendency to think our
Women are a little bit naïve and they don′t know what we do.
Well, let me tell you what my woman said to me. she said)

I hear you been telling your friends across town
That I'm in the dark ′bout your running around
And how your Fool in the house don't
Know nothin' ′bout your woman on the side

(She said)
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night
(Said)
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night

(Listen, she said)
While you were out there fooling around
Showing off your lover all over town
(She said)
I wasn′t worried, baby, you know,
That suited me just fine (that's what she said)


(She said)
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night
(Said it again)
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night

(But, this is what hurt me the most, she said)

I bet you thought I′d be all by myself
But I picked up the phone just as soon as you left
And it wasn't long before I had company
While you were lovin′ her, he was here lovin' me

Full A and ½ B instrumental

(She told me, she said)

Here′s what I've learned, livin' with you
If it′s good for the gander, it′s good for the goose
(She told me, she said)
Oh, I hope you're happy, ′cause I sure am satisfied
(I felt like a fool)


(She said)
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night
(She said it again, said)
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night
(She kept on sayin')
I might have been born yesterday,
But, ooo, I stayed up late last night
I might have been born yesterday,
But I stayed up late last night

All I could do was stand there, my head hangin′ down
And she said what make you laugh, be the same thing that make you cry
(She told me, she said)

What's good for the gander, boy, it′s good for the goose
(Said) I'm holding onto someone now
Ooooo I can't turn him loose

Ooo weee, baby
Oooo, weeee, don′t leave me
Give me one more chance
