[F] [F#] [C#]
[G#] [F#]
[C#] [G#] [F#]
The story that [C#] I'm about to tell you [G#] is very true.
[F#] You see, only the names have been changed to protect me and you.
[C#] Someday I'll have [G#] the papers and the man too.
[F#] And Betty, I'm addressing this directly to you.
I know he may not be able to marry me.
[G#] But it's gonna cost him too much to get free.
[F#] Don't mind being his woman on the side.
[G#] Cause I'm in love with him and he's in love with me and I ain't got no pride.
I'll [F#] let you be the one.
Always have the [C#] papers on [G#]
him.
[C#] [Fm] [G#]
[Fm] While I'll be the [F#]
one.
[D#m] [C#] Wind up with him in the
[F#] end.
Girl.
She's got [C#] papers [G#] [F#]
on the man.
She's got [C#] papers [G#]
[F#] on the man.
The reason why [A#m] I'm [F#] always on his [C#] mind.
[G#] Is cause I give him what he needs and that's good loving all the time.
[Fm] [F#] And girl he can't help but call out my name.
[Fm] [G#] Cause when he's making love to you I tell you he's doing it in [Fm] vain.
And I'll let you [F#] be the one.
[C#] Always [F#] have the papers [G#] on him.
While I'll be [F#]
[D#m] the [C#] one.
[F#] With him in [A#m] the end.
[F#] Girl.
[D#m] She's [C#] got papers.
[G#]
[F#]
She's got [C#] papers [G#]
[F#] [C#] on the man.
[F#] [C#] [G#] You see I've never been in position to give [F#] him any material things.
[C#] But then I've [Fm] never demanded no promises, no [F#] papers and no ring.
[C#] See while he was always [Fm] home complaining and always [F#] demanding.
I was there always so very [C#] patient and [G#] understanding.
[F#]
And lady you need to take heed to [C#] this [G#] advice.
And [A#m] think twice.
[F#] You see every time your telephone rings and somebody hangs up.
Don't go [C#] accusing that man.
[G#] I know that must have been your woman.
[F#]
Cause in my case we had spent the entire [C#] weekend together.
So there was no [G#] need for me to call.
[Fm] [F#]
[A#m] [F#] Yes and I'm [C#] always on his [G#] mind.
Cause I give him [F#] plenty loving all the time.
[A#m] [F#]
[C#] [G#] [F#]
Yeah dimples [C#] came and told me that you called [F#] me out of my name.
[C#] [G#] And now that he's [F#] mine.
I'm woman enough to accept the blame.
[C#] [G#] [F#]
You see it's not so important for [C#] [G#] a woman to be married [F#] to a man on date.
For it's more important to have the [C#] man's heart.
[G#] Which in my case I [F#] had right from the start.
And I ain't trying to be smart.
[C#] [G#] [F#]
You see every time he leaves me.
You know after [C#] we've made [G#] love.
Oh I've been made [F#] love too.
By the time he gets home there ain't [C#] nothing else he can [G#] do.
God he's only one man.
[F#] He don't think of trying to split the man in two.
[C#] And you [G#] remember those last seven suits you bought and paid for.
[F#] Well I've been seen with him in those suits.
Seven different places.
Seven different [C#] times.
[Fm] Seven different days.
And I'm not going to mention [F#] the seven different nights.
Cause that ain't none of your business.
[C#] [G#] [F#]
[A#] [F#] You know and he [C#] always had a home away [Fm] from home with me.
[F#]
So there ain't no need for him to get comfortable.
You was right.
[C#] [G#] You see because I had his [F#] slippers.
His bathrobe.
And that component set that you told me to take with [C#] him when he left.
[G#] Child that's in [Fm] my bedroom and [F#] me and him make love by that every [C#] night.
[F#]
[C#] [G#] Look [F#]
[F#] girl let me [C#] tell you one [G#] thing.
[Fm] Wasn't it you that I bumped [F#] into when I was in the drug store.
Seemed to me everything on you [C#] was out of [G#] place.
You see I didn't get him by wearing [F#] no war paint on my face.
I just give him what he [C#] wants when [G#] he wants.
[Fm] And [F#] that's love.
I know he can't help [C#] but call [G#] out my name.
[F#]
I hope he don't make a mistake and call you me.
[C#] [G#] [F#]
Listen there's one [C#] more [G#] important thing that I must leave with [F#] you.
Betty.
That is whatever it cost him to [C#] get free he [G#] can get it from me.
[F#]
She's got the table.
[C#] [G#] [F#]
Do [C#] everything.
[G#] [F#] Possibly can.
I'm the [G#] one.
[F#]
To be here.
I'm the [C#] one.
[G#] [F#]
She's got the man.
[G#] I ain't got no favor but I've got the [F#] man.
I've got the man.
Give him all the [C#] love.
Give [G#] him all the love.
He got a [F#] simplest name.
A simplest name.
I don't need [C#] no [G#] salesman.
I don't need no salesman.
Cause [F#] he loves me only.
I'm not the man.
I'm
[C#] [G#] number [C#]
one.
[F#] [D#m] She's got the [C#] man.
