Oh, no matter what you say baby, no matter what you do 
The way you've been treating me woman, 
is coming back home to you 
And your crying won't help you woman 
Oh, crying won't help you baby 
Oh, crying won't help you woman 
'Cause you've been so mean to me 
Oh, you must remember baby, no matter where you go 
Watch those seeds just scatter woman, 
because you're gonna reap just what you sow 
And your crying won't help you woman 
Oh, crying won't help you now 
Oh, crying won't help you baby 
'Cause you been so mean to me 
Oh, the way you've been treating me woman, 
just can't understand 
Oh, I'm gonna leave you woman, 
let you do the best you can 
And your crying won't help you woman 
Oh, crying won't help you now 
Oh, crying won't help you woman 
'Cause you been so mean to me 
Look out! 
Oh, just before I leave you woman, 
just before I shake your hand 
I'm gonna get me a woman baby, 
not to get you mad 
And your crying won't help you woman 
Oh, crying won't help you now 
Oh, crying won't help you baby 
'Cause you been so mean to me
