You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women
I want you all to understand

Now, when I was with my husband
He was really mean
Now I'm with my man
He treats me like a queen

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women
I want you all to understand

Now, the money my husband made
Was for red beans and rice
My man gives me steaks
Now ain't that nice

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women
I want you all to understand

(Instrumental Break)

The money my husband made
Was for red beans and rice
But my man keeps me in steaks
Now ain't that nice

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm tellin' all you women
I want you all to understand

Yes, he's mine
Don't mess with him
Leave him alone
