Chords for Millie Jackson - The Rap (Official Audio)

_ _ You see the terrible thing about being in [C] love with a married man is the fact that you can't see him when [Em] you really want to
And that can get to you sometime _
[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] Late in the midnight hour _ _
When you really feel like you need a little love and the man ain't nowhere around _
[Em] and that can get to you sometime
_ _ _ [C] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ _ _ [C] When you really feel like you need someone to hold on to
_ [Em]
The man ain't nowhere around and that can really get to you [C]
sometime
_ _ _ _ [D] But [Em] what gets to you most of all _ is when the holidays [C] roll around you gotta always be by yourself
[Em] _
_ Because that's the time when the families get [C] together
_ _ _ _ _ [Em] All the in-laws come to visit
_ _ _ [C] So he has to stay home and play the part of the good and faithful [Em] husband
_ But I ain't worried about it
_ _ [C]
Because I found out that when a man starts to [Em] put them away from home
_ _ _ _ [C] Somebody at home is falling down on the home front
_ _ [Em] _ _
_ That's because when these women marry these [C] men _
They have a tendency to [C] take advantage of them
_ [Em]
They forget about all the sweet things they say to get them
[C] _
That they have to keep on saying them to keep them
_ [Em] Because you got a whole lot of women out there these days just like me
[C] _
Who will tell a man anything in the world he feel like he [Em] might want to hear
_ _ _ [C] I know _
_ _ _ _ _ Because from [Em] going with a married man and _ [C] last New Year's Eve I was lonesome as a Mickey
_ _ [E] _ _
_ But J1 the man came on [C] in like he was supposed to
_ _ _ _ [Em] And I didn't mind waiting that one day
_ Because [C] anything worth having is worth waiting on
_ _ _ [E] So when the man came in J1 I was right there waiting on him to tell him all [C] those sweet things
I know his wife hadn't told him over the holidays
_ _ [E] And you can think of a whole lot of good stuff to [Em] tell a nigga when you're by yourself
[C] _ _
_ _ So the minute my man [Em] came in the door J1
_ _ _ I [C] started laying it on him
_ _ _ [E] Oh baby
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] Oh baby
_ _ _ _ _ [E] Oh baby
_ _ [Em] _ _ _ [C] My baby
_ _ _ You [Em] the _ _ sweetest thing I know
_ [C] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _ _
_ _ _ Rainbows [B] glow.
Yes, you do [C] baby.
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] There ain't no power no power no power on this earth. _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ Oh
_ _ _ [C]
Separated baby
_ _ But you [Em] are my sunshine
_ _ _ _ _ [C]
Oh my sunshine
_ _ You [Em] are my sunshine
_ _ _ [C] My sunshine
_ _ _ _ [Em] _
My sunshine
I love you baby
_ _ _ I [C] can't help but love you baby
_ _ _ [Em] I love you baby
_ _ _ [C] I can't give up if I want to
_ _ _ [Em] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [C] You know, I don't want to leave you with one-sided conception over this
[Em] _
_ _ _ Anyone out there in my shoes [C] this evening I want you to know what I'm talking about.
_ _ [D] _ [Em] _
I want you to know there's two sides
_ [C] _
_ _ There's a good side to being in [D] love with a [Em] married man
_ _ _ _ _ [C] And I like it
_ _ Because you [E] see _
[Em] _ _ When you're going with a married man
[C] _
_ _ He can come over two or [Em] three times and we can give you a little bit
_ _ That [C] means you two up on the wife already because once you marry one you [Em] don't get it once a week
_ _ _ _ _ [C] another sweet thing is
_ _ _ _ [Em] On payday he can come over and give you a little bread and I like that
[C] _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] But the [Em] sweetest thing about the whole situation is
_ _ [C]
The fact that when you go to the laundromat
[Em] _ _
_ You don't have to wash nobody's [C] crumpled rolls, but your own
_ _ [Em] And I like it like that.
_ _ _ _ _ [C] I
Want to keep my situation just the way it is
_ [Em] _ _
_ And to make sure it stays like that
[C] When my man come over two or three times a week and give me my [E] piece.
[Em]
I sent the clock
_ _ _ So he [C] can get up and go home on time.
Don't want him to be late
[E] _ [Em] _
_ Sometimes it's kind of hard for me to do [C]
but I force myself anyway
_ _ Listen to the clock on the wall.
[B] Hey _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [Em] Listen to the clock on the [G] wall right now, baby
[C] _
_ _ tick on clock
_ [Em]
Listen to the clock [C] on the wall.
Hey _
_ _ [E] _ _ _ _ _ [Em] _
All forget about the clock on the wall _ _ _
