Ripped Off - Loleatta Holloway

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

Been mistreated

Love I need it bad

So bad

Bad

So bad

Ripped out

Robbed and cheated

Been mistreated

Love I need it bad

I need it bad

Bad

I need it bad

So bad

Never was a time

That I wouldn’t give you my last dime

And when my love went down

You would never know where to be found

Oh, first you took my love

Then you pawned my diamond ring

You left me hanging high

Like a puppet on a string

Why

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

Been mistreated

Love I need it bad

I need it bad

I need it bad

Ripped out

Robbed and cheated

I’ve been mistreated

Love I need it bad

I need it bad

So bad

Go and have your fun

But one day you’ll be the sorry one

Oh, you didn’t have to steal

Something that was real

Just for a thrill, oh

I should have known

That you have one thing in mind

But I can guarantee

It won’t happen the second time

Not in my lifetime

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

I’ve been mistreated

Love I need it so bad

So bad

Ripped out

I’ve been ripped off

Robbed and cheated

I’ve been mistreated

Love I need it bad

I need it bad

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

I’ve been mistreated

Love I need it, need it bad

I need it bad

Ripped out

Robbed and cheated

Been mistreated

Love I need it bad

Bad, bad

So bad

Ah ah ah, oh ah

Ooh ooh

Pawn my diamond ring

I’ve been ripped out

Pawn my diamond ring

I’ve been ripped out

Pawn my diamond ring

I’ve been ripped out

Pawn my diamond ring

I’ve been ripped out

Oh, oh

Ooh wee, yeah

Why you wanna do it to me, baby

Would I, I

I gave you all the love that I had, yeah

Oh oh, uh huh

Pawn my diamond ring

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

Been mistreated

Love I need it bad

Bad

I need it bad

Ripped off

I’ve been ripped off, baby

Been mistreated

Why you wanna do it to me bad

So bad

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

Why would I give it to you anyway

I need it bad

Ripped off

Robbed and cheated

Been mistreated

Love I need it bad
