Lyrics

Let’s talk a bout the sit u a tion, ’bout how you came with in for ma tion that’s neg a tive in ev ’ry which way, just dis ing my man and our re la tions.

You say he’s cheat ing, want me to leave him.

I’ve changed my mind; I think I’ll keep him.

This min ute you will leave me lone ly; that’s not what I’m try ing to be.

’Cause I’ll be (Am7)cra zy to let my (Gm9)man go and let some (Fmaj9)oth er Jane Doe come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

Just (Am7)cra zy to let my (Gm9)man go and let some (Fmaj9)oth er Jane Doe come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

See, I caught you try ing to check my man out.

How ’bout you ’splain what that’s all a bout.

(Fmaj9)Mak in’ plays, like I would n’t know.

(E7)But I’ve got some thing for you: (Don’t) mess a round, end up in a choke (hold.) Girl, I think it’s time for you to (go) a way from my man and me.

That’s the (E7)way it’s gon na be.

’Cause I’ll be (Am7)cra zy to let my (Gm9)man go and let some (Fmaj9)oth er Jane Doe come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

Just (Am7)cra zy to let my (Gm9)man go and let some (Fmaj9)oth er Jane Doe come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

See, I caught you try ing to check my man out.

How ’bout you ’splain what that’s all a bout.

(Fmaj9)Mak in’ plays, like I would n’t know.

(E7)But I’ve got some thing for you: (Don’t) mess a round, end up in a choke (hold.) Girl, I think it’s time for you to (go) a way from my man and me.

That’s the (E7)way it’s gon na be.

’Cause I’ll be (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

(Am7)I love my man;

(Gm9)he loves me more.

He (Fmaj9)may not be the per fect man, but (E7)I don’t plan to let him go for (Am7)Jane

(Gm9)Doe,

Jane Doe, Jane Doe, ah ah Jane Doe, Jane Doe, Jane Doe, ’Cause I’ll be come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

(Am7)Cra zy to let my (Gm9)man go and let some (Fmaj9)oth er Jane Doe come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

(Am7)Cra zy to let my (Gm9)man go and let some (Fmaj9)oth er Jane Doe come and try to (E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.

(E7)steal him, oh no, oh no.
