Well, you're standing on the corner flagging all the girls you see Now do like I say and let those ladies be You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before

That girl you meddled got a big guy for a pal He'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal So take it easy, man, you'd better take it slow Well, I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before

Now, you wouldn't listen to me, you got two black eyes That's what you get, man, for messing with men's wives So take it easy, let those women go I'm just trying to tell you - that's how you got killed before



My Flame Burns Blue version

Well, you're standing on the corner flagging all the girls you see

Now do like I say and let those ladies be

You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong

I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before


That girl you meddled got a big guy for a pal

He'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal

So take it easy, man, you'd better take it slow

Well, I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before


Now, you wouldn't listen to me, you got two black eyes

That's what you get, man, for messing with men's wives

So take it easy, whoa, let those women go

I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before
