Jody's Got Your Girl And Gone

Jody's Got Your Girl And Gone - Johnnie Taylor

Every guy I know

Trying to get ahead

Working two jobs

Til you're almost dead

(You tell em)

Work your fingers

Right down to the bone

There's a cat named Jody

Sneaking around in your home

There's a cat named Jody

In every town

Spending lots of cash

And just riding around

Ride on

Ride on ride on

Jody

The ashes in your ashtray

Footprints on your carpet

While you work all day

He even got the nerve

To sleep in your bed

Sit down at the table

Eat your bread

When you get home

After working hard all day

Jody's got your girl

And he don't play

I said

Ain't no sense in going home

Jody's got your girl and gone

(It ain't no sense in going home)

You gotta get home but

You work too hard

You gotta get home but

You work too hard

Ain't no sense in going home

Jody's got your girl and gone

I tell you Jody's got

Your girl and gone

(Ain't no sense in going home)

When you discover

Your gross neglect

Itll be too late to

Give your woman respect

You'll hunt down Jody

Ten thousand dollar reward

For Jody's hide

Ain't no sense in going home

Jody's got your girl and gone
