Lyrics for No One Man

Well, you say you want a home where you'll be king Where only your word will go You'll have to pardon my expression, master 'Cause, you see, don't no one man stop my show You say you want a home where I'll be slave Right or wrong, you're in the know Well, you see, I don't need no dictator And don't no one monkey run my show Wherever you go, I'm gonna be right there I'll clean and wash and do the cooking, dear But, please don't try to rule me Because mama has already schooled me You say you want a home where you are boss Like ah, being tender might make it so As long as we can do it 50-50 Then, baby, maybe one time, you will be able to stop the show Other than that, no one man, uh-uh, no, don't stop my show
