Ain't but one way out, Lord, I ain't goin' out that door Ain't but one way out, Lord, I ain't goin' out that door There's a man down there, May be your man, I won't know
Lord you got me trapped woman, Up on the second floor; If I get by this time, I won't be trapped no more. So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow And lord, your neighbors, Won't be talking stuff they don't know.
Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place, I know some man gonna walk in and take my place. Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door Cause there's a man down there, Might be your man I don't know. Cause there's a man down there, Might be your man I don't know.
