ORIGINAL SONGTEXTE
Well, come to me, pretty baby
Put your fine mellow body on my knee
Please come to me, baby
And put your fine mellow body on my knee
I wanna whisper in your ear
Until you think it keeps bothering me
You and me mistreat her, baby
Don't mean no one man no good
Yes, you and me mistreat her
Don't mean no one man no good
'Cause all you do, woman
Is raised in my neighborhood
I did more for my baby
Than the good Lord has ever done
I did more for my baby
Than the good Lord has ever done
I, I went down town and bought her some hair
And the good Lord never gave her enough
I gave you back that wig I bought you, baby
And let your hair go bald
? back home, baby
And let your hair go bald
Because if you keep on mistreating me, baby
You won't have no hair, no hair at all
No hair, no hair
What's the matter now?
ÜBERSETZUNG
~ Well, come to me, pretty baby ~
Put your fine mellow body on my knee
Bitte komm zu mir, Baby
~ And put your fine mellow body on my knee ~
I wanna whisper in your ear
Bis du denkst, es stört mich
Du und ich misshandeln sie, Baby
Bedeutet keinem Mann etwas Gutes
Ja, du und ich misshandeln sie
Das heißt nicht, dass ein Mann nicht gut ist
Denn alles, was du tust, Frau
Is raised in my neighborhood
Ich tat mehr für mein Baby
Than the good Lord has ever done
Ich habe mehr für mein Baby getan
Than the good Lord has ever done
Ich, ich ging in die Stadt und kaufte ihr ein paar Haare
~ And the good Lord never gave her enough ~
Ich gab dir die Perücke zurück, die ich dir kaufte, Baby
~ And let your hair go bald ~
? back home, baby
And let your hair go bald
Denn wenn du mich weiter so schlecht behandelst, Baby
Wirst du keine Haare mehr haben, gar keine Haare mehr
Kein Haar, kein Haar
Was ist denn jetzt los?
