Now look here, baby, I been treatin' you good and kind
And when I found out you tippin' another man all the time
REFRAIN: Wasn't that doggin' me? Yes, she's doggin' me
And I'm gettin' sick and tired, the way my baby's doggin' me
Now I worked for you, mama, even pawned my clothes
Now you wrote me a letter, couldn't use me no more
REFRAIN: Wasn't that doggin' me? Yes, she's doggin' me
And I'm gettin' sick and tired, the way my baby's doggin' me
(Spoken: Y'oughta quit doggin' me too, black gal !)
SOLO (Spoken during solo: Oh, quit doggin' me!)
Ain't but one thing made me think when I got ready to go
I caught her standin', huggin', kissin' the man next door
REFRAIN: Wasn't that doggin' me? Yes, she's doggin' me
And I'm gettin' sick and tired, the way my baby's doggin' me
SOLO (Spoken during solo: Ain't that been doggin' me, what I'm talkin' about!)
Now you dog me in the Summertime, you won't wait 'til Fall
You gon' dog your man he ain't come back home at all
REFRAIN: Gal, quit that doggin' me! Yes, she's doggin' me
And I'm gettin' sick and tired, the way my baby's doggin' me
SOLO (Spoken during solo: Oh, quit that!)
I just stopped by here, mama, to try to get you told,
You ain't the onliest woman got a sweet jelly roll
REFRAIN: Now, why don't you quit that doggin' me? Yes, she's doggin' me
And I'm gettin' sick and tired, the way these women doggin' me
(Spoken: You know, I'm so tired, I don't know what to do!)
SOLO: (Spoken during solo: Oh, ain't that awful! It's so terrible!)
And I'm gettin' sick and tired, the way my honey's doggin' me
SOLO
