Get up off Your Knees
A trifling man came home one nightAnd tiptoed to his doorTo his despair, his little wifie was thereWaitin' to lay down the lawSaid she, "I'm through, I'm really sick of youGet out, stay out, and be on your way"Well he dropped down on his kneesCried "oh, please",But this is all she had to say:Get up, get up, off your knees papaYou can't win me back that wayTurn in, turn in all your keys papaYou really goin' this time to stayI discovered that you're the worst man in this townLooks like you're fond of keepin' on going lower downGet up, get up, off your knees papaYou can't win me back that wayGet right up off your knees papaI'm tellin' you, you can't win me back that wayTurn in all your keys papa'Cause I put you out this time to stayLetras de cancionesYou're so blamed crooked, here are bladesLooks like it's a hard matter for you to keep your head up straightSo get up off your knees papaYou can't win me back that wayAnyhow. Stand up when you're makin' your pleasNo use you wearin' out your kneesI heard someone say right next doorLook mighty strange down there on all foursStop it, down like thatWhat in the devil anyhow can you be drivin' at?So get up and stay up off your knees papaYou can't win me back that wayBesides it looks suspicious And you can't win me back that way.
