You know, six years is such a long time
To call somebody mine
Hey, payback, I'm
back in the streets
Any too girl I'll gonna meet
They ask me the same question
And I tell them every time
And people keep asking me
The same old thing
And I tell that I, I, I, I, I
Oh, I can testify, I did it twice
I was marriage
But, it just didn't work,
it didn't work, alright
I was married
Please listen to my life
And people keep asking me
The same old thing
and I tell them that
I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I did it twice
I was married but it just
didn't work
Just didn't work, it just didn't work
I was married
It didn't work, it did not work
It did not work, but I was married
It didn't work, it didn't work
People keep asking me
be cause it didn't work
I was married
It did not work
Some of you been married,
a lot of you been married
But I was married
A lot of you can talk about it,
I can talk about it
I can testify, testify
It didn't work, it didn't work,
it didn't work
I was married
It did not work, it did not work,
did not work
But Billy Paul was married
Can testi fy, testify,
to be true, to be true
Billy Paul was married
People keep asking me
It didn't work
Don't ask me
It didn't work
Don't ask me
It did not ask
Don't ask me
Tried to pick up where we left off
at
It would only be the same thing
all over again
Let me tell you 'bout my life,
I'll tell you about my life
I was married
I didn't wanna call somebody "Mine",
call somebody "Mine"
I guess I was married
Because I'm free, free
I don't bother her,
she don't bother me
Both of us are free, free
