We Can't Agree
by Wilhelmina Gray / 
Louis Jordan 
recording of 1971 
from 
In London (MCA 10843) 
You never treated me gentle 
Yet you spend up all of my gold 
Then you look around for a young man 
Tell me I'm too old 
That's why we can't agree 
Yeah, baby, we can't agree 
Now if I don't see you no more, baby 
It'll be way too soon for me 
You're known for being a lover 
You like to holler loud 
One man for you ain't nothing 
You talk so loud you draw a crowd 
That's why we can't agree 
Yes, baby, we can't agree 
Now if I don't see you no more, baby 
It'll be way too soon for me 
You're used to eating hot dogs 
When you go out to dine 
I taught you what a steak was 
And now you've almost lost your mind 
That's why we can't agree 
Yes, baby, we can't agree 
Now if I don't see you no more, baby 
Honey, that'll be way too soon for me 
You know it will 
Now your clothes look like a sifter 
Because they had so many holes 
You know we both 
Came from the ghetto, baby 
And everybody knows 
We can't agree 
Yes, baby, we can't agree 
Now if I don't see you 
No more, little woman 
Honey, it'll be way too soon for me 
Yes, it will 
Another one of them crazy endings 
That's the only way I could get out of it
