A gypsy told mother to let them women be, 
she said, "A man's your best friend", 
I said, "Are you tellin' me?" 
'Cause I done got wise now, 
oh, to the way these women do 
Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me baby, 
now the trick's done turned on you 
I don't know whether my woman was joking or what she intends to do, 
but I done pulled the right card 'n' I done got tattooed 
I done got wise, 
oh, to the way these women do 
Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby, 
now the trick's done turned on you 
If there's forty-eight cards in the deck, 
I can play with the men 
'Cause I done got wise, baby, 
oh, to the way you women do 
Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby 
now the trick's done turned on you 
I been married three times 
I was drunk as I could be 
'Cause I done got wise, baby, 
oh, to the way you women do 
Yeah, you've been tryin' to trick me, baby 
now the trick's done turned on you
