Johnnie Taylor - Jody's Got Your Girl And Gone lyrics

rate me

Every guy I know<br />

Trying to get ahead<br />

Working two jobs<br />

Til you're almost dead<br />

(You tell em)<br />

<br />

Work your fingers<br />

Right down to the bone<br />

There's a cat named Jody<br />

Sneaking around in your home<br />

<br />

There's a cat named Jody<br />

In every town<br />

Spending lots of cash<br />

And just riding around<br />

<br />

Ride on, Jody<br />

Ride on, ride on<br />

With your bad self<br />

Jody<br />

<br />

The ashes in your ashtray<br />

Footprints on your carpet<br />

While you work all day<br />

He even got the nerve<br />

To sleep in your bed<br />

Sit down at the table<br />

Eat your bread<br />

<br />

When you get home<br />

After working hard all day<br />

Jody's got your girl<br />

And he don't play<br />

<br />

I said<br />

Ain't no sense in going home<br />

Jody's got your girl and gone<br />

<br />

(It ain't no sense in going home)<br />

(You gotta get home but<br />

You work too hard)<br />

(It ain't no sense in going home)<br />

(You gotta get home but<br />

You work too hard)<br />

<br />

Ain't no sense in going home<br />

Jody's got your girl and gone)<br />

I tell you, Jody's got<br />

Your girl and gone<br />

(Ain't no sense in going home)<br />

<br />

When you discover<br />

Your gross neglect<br />

Itll be too late to<br />

Give your woman respect<br />

<br />

You'll hunt down Jody ?<br />

Ten thousand dollar reward<br />

For Jody's hide<br />

<br />

Ain't no sense in going home<br />

Jody's got your girl and gone</
