Burning Bed lyrics

(1 out of 12...

1 of 12 men is being burned to death)



( *sirens* )



(Now that`s a fire!)



[ all (2X) ]

Treat your woman right

Or get that burning bed at night

You`ve got to treat her right

Treat her right - treat her right



(Willie!)



[ Doctor Ice ]

The women of today ain`t with it

If you ain`t gonna be loyal, forget it

I know the deal, so I admit it

Because I knew a brother that did it

He used to be a nice looking dude, the ladies` choice

He would charm them all with the sound of his voice

He`s not a sucker, a bum, the boy ain`t soft

He likes to be clean and dress his ass off

He was light-skinned with curly hair

He would make his girl think he was so sincere

Always said "I`m cool," called himself an expert

Comin home every night with lipstick on his shirt

She took it like a champ and let him do it

Until one day he really blew it

Rappin to girls one day by the dozen

And one of those girls was his girlfriend`s cousin

He was so blind cause he was on a roll

Comin home drunk one night singin James Brown`s soul

"Get up-a!" bangin on the door he said

"Get up-a!" and banged once more

So she opened the door with a smile on her face

Brung him to the bed, untied his shoe lace

Took off all his clothes and then she said

"Good night sucker" - and burned the bed

So



[ all (2X) ]

Treat your woman right

Or get that burning bed at night

You`ve got to treat her right

Treat her right - treat her right



Burn em up



She only burn you can see what`s ugly, Willie

Now you look like Richard Fire

I mean Richard Pryor, Willie

Willie, jump in the pool



(Now that`s a fire!)



[ Doctor Ice ]

So never in life think that you`re too great

Cause it`svery thin line between love and hate

You see, he wasn`t just burned, the boy was torched

Burned from head to toe and then so-and-so was scorched

He`s with the same girl, now he`s sincerer

She ain`t worried about a thing cause he ain`t goin nowhere

When I see him now I say "yo bro"

Cause he`s the darkest brother that I now know

No more Casanova, that life is over

He used to drink heavy, now he stays sober

She burned him bad, now he stays alert

But I know when they make love, brother, it hurts

You wouldn`t think the girl would hurt a fly

But she proved that to be a goddamn lie

From what I recall, he gives her much respect

Point blank, word, she got him in check

So



[ all (2X) ]

Treat your woman right

Or get that burning bed at night

You`ve got to treat her right

Treat her right - treat her right



[ Doctor Ice ]

See, you can hit em, beat em, call em a creep

But remember, homeboy, you`ve got to sleep

So chill, be nice or pay the price

Of bein burned, walk easy like Doctor Ice



Get out the house, Willie!



(Now that`s a fire!)



(Fire)

Willie`s on..

(Fire)

Get out the house, Willie

(Fire)

Damn, you shoulda seen this..

(Fire)

She burned him bad

Damn Willie

(Fire)

That mama ain`t Willie

(Fire)

If his woman ain`t Ms. Willhelmina

(Fire)

She burned him up

She burned him up

(Fire)

Don`t get the burning bed, Willie

(Fire)

It`s too late now

You`re blacker than black

(Fire)

You used to be light-skinned, ain`t no turnin back

(Fire)

You look like some left-over from a cook-out, Willie

Yo

I told you leave that bitch alone

I told ya, Willie

I told ya

(Aight, that`s cool)
