Wife a Wife - Lady Saw

Mate fi have manners

dem fi only speak when they’re spoken to,

Or dem nuh fi chat none at all.

And if dem eva call mi name yuh see.

Mi say,

one:

Wife a wife, mate a mate,

Fight a fight, tings will break.

Me a one gal, me nuh like trace.

Mi name nuh fi deh pon debate.

Call mi name inna yuh mout if yuh bright,

can’t come nutten bout mi weh mi nuh like.

When yuh see me and mi man ride out pon a bike,

try tek me off if yuh nuh love your life.

Mek your liquor spill when mi step inna di place.

See who draw nil when mi fling an a drape,

mi nah stand still, me a wife, mi nuh mate.

An mi nuh pay bills when me go pon date, oh.

A gal fi know she ain’t nutten but a hush,

Man drive and park mi like truck.

Nah gih dem nutten caw dem always bruk.

And when dem see wife, dem waan fi talk up,

But tell a gal when she see mi, she fi cut.

Fi har job a fi bend down and duck.

No man nuh waan dem, but dem waan play stuck,

When wifey come through, all matey shut up.

Call mi name inna yuh mout if yuh bright,

can’t come nutten bout mi weh mi nuh like.

When yuh see me and mi man ride pon a bike,

try tek me off if yuh nuh love your life.

Mek your liquor spill when mi step inna di place.

See who draw nil when mi fling an a drape,

mi nah stand still, me a wife, mi nuh mate.

And me nuh pay bills when me go pon date, oh.

two:

Wey eye nuh see, heart nuh leap

But di man a fi mi, some gal will get beat.

If yuh a creep yuh betta hide and dweet

If yuh nuh waan lose 32 teet,

Facebook dat, Twitter dis,

if mi ketch yuh inna di act,

mi nah go hitch,

my head hot, I’m so sick,

so tell a gal mine who she diss.

Rept.

three:

You ain’t nutten but a one night stand,

I see you trying hard to take my man,

but you will never ever understand,

that you will never never never wear his wedding band.

Oh really,

Sincerely, me a him other half,
