Trick Bag Songtext
von The Meters

12: 00 o′ clock at night--you walk out the door.
You told me baby--you were going to the drug-store.
Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying;
The drug-store closed at a quarter to nine.
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.
The way you′ve been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag.


When I come home, start an argument,
Just to keep you from asking where my voodoo went.
Peep out the front door--I hear the back door slam.
I peek out of my window--somebody's taking it on the lam.
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.
The way you′ve been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag.

We had a fight, then you got mad;
Got on the telephone--called your mom and dad.
Dad said, "She′s my daughter and I'm her pa,
And you ain′t nothing but a son-in-law."
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.
The way you′ve been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag.

Yeah, yeah x4
