Betty Wright - She's Got Papers On Me Lyrics
Five a.m. is the hour
And we just took a shower
Once again I'm headin' home
But I'm satisfied, mmm, to the bone
You had me beggin' for more
Now I'm runnin' home to her
When it's you I prefer
She's got papers on me
She's got papers on me
And I'm gettin' tired of sneakin' in
Lyin' 'bout where I've been
How long can this go on
And every time I taste your sweet, sweet lips
I make up my mind to abandon the ship
And man, oh, man, she's crampin' my style
I look in her face and see your sweet smile, but
She's got papers on me
She's got papers on me, oh
(She's got papers on me)
(She's got papers on me)
Oh, sometimes I wonder what she is getting out of it
You've taken every little bit
You're gettin' all my love and then some
Leavin' her just the crumbs
And life it isn't like it was
Doesn't she know it's you that I love
Girl, you're more than just some broad I wine and dine
You're the sweet little thing, the sweet little thing
The sweet little thing that's always on my mind
(She's got papers on me)
Always on my mind
Girl, you're always, always, always, always on my mind
(She's got papers on me)
But she's got these papers on me
And she won't set me free
I never should have kept the game
(She's got papers on me)
But I found out about you too late
What am I gonna do about that, baby
Oh, yeah, yeah, babe
Well, well, well, what have we here
I know you thought I was all the way on my job by now
Well, I forgot my sweater and I'm on my way back
And I started to thinkin'
You sure been actin' strange lately
And what is this I hear when I walk up to my bathroom door
You singin' 'bout some other woman
Let me tell you somethin', Mr. Look So Good
From now on this house is where you used to live
My, my, my
Don't we look pretty in that suit my money bought
You better come on downstairs and have a seat
But don't you get too comfortable now
'Cause you won't be here that long
Now I'm not even sure, I'm not exactly sure about what you're doin'
But I know you're doin' somethin'
And I gave you the best years of my life
Tryin' to be a good mother and a good wife
I made you what you are, you hear me
I paid the house notes, I put you through school
I paid for that pretty car you ridin' your woman or women 'round in
Now if I can't be number one, I will not be number two unless I wanna be
And right now I'm in no mood to be number two
That's right I got papers on you
And you do understand, my dear, that you must pay me to be free
That's what I said
You're gonna pay me for my years and my tears
And all my wasted years
And I know bein' with me hurts you
And I mean, you don't dig my anymore, but I'm hurtin' too
And you can tell that dizzy broad
You know, the one you singin' about
The Miss Sweet Little Thing that's always on your mind
That I'm not lettin' out of this unless you buy me out
I'm not goin' through no more hard times or bad times
'Cause I can do bad all by myself, all by myself
Yeah, but I got papers on you
But now I'm throwin' 'em in the trash can of my memory
Now take your little albums and your raggedy component set that never worked
And you can scat
You hear me
Hmm, just use my life up, use all my body up
Use all my time up
Boy, I don't know what to say about you

Thank you, 25yrs of love coming from grandparents; it was the most loving experience of my life!!!!!!!!!!! Be respectful to our elders and know that youth is not the factor, the way you present yourself in a conductive manner, being respectful and or being open minded to people opinions is really the factor. God bless everyone

Tazz Brooks Love Richard Dimples ''Fields. Betty Wright-She Got Papers On Me Music!
Brilliant song, this married man is singing so sweet to his girlfriend and then Betty just steps in with the truth! Fantastic lines like " I gave you the best years of my life" and "Use my life up, use my body up" put a whole different slant on this soft tune.
U had me begging for more, now I know that's right !!! :-) :-) :-)

Listening to the words of this song I will say brotherman be careful what you ask for

this a classic, love this type of music!
Sitting in my bedroom listening to Richard dimples fields she's got papers on me. Ohh my goodness this song still sounds so good. I really miss those tomes the good ole 70's and 80's at least I've got the memories to hang on to amen....
That's it!
Greg, my School Teacher, Preacher, Bobby, married, father of five, just found out this year "2015" what the saying " you got papers on someone" means, so don't feel bad. You was young.
Betty Wright, Shirley Brown, Barbara Mason..Playah, Playah, Playah!!!
Don't 4 get about Minnie Jackson
real music
lookout for remy fields dimples sons coming out soon .... like father like son but better then his pops
Is the mum called Sadie?
Man I remember being drug to my mama's friends house to watch them drink and play cards and talk shit and smoke cigarettes,and Imma tell u this.When this song came on ...OMG they turned all the way up ....waiting on Betty.Cussing back at the radio talking bout. TELL HIS ASS BETTY. U WANNA PLAY YA GOTSTA PAY.I was young and green then, now I get it like a motherfucker
hell of a song
This was never under rated, it went number one in the entire industry when it was released in 1981. I know because this was my close friend for 20 years and producing partner for various artist. Roni Clark---Xotigo Music
@Roni Marcel Do you know what his real relationship w/B. Mason was?
thank god there,s none on me!!
To my long time Buddy and producing partner. Can't believe you are gone. The spirit aspect of the music speaks to me all the time. Maybe that's you contacting me from Gods spiritual universe. Dimples the first one to show me the bible in its true form. You about to be proud of me Dimps--real talk . As I said "God has Papers on you now ". Roni C Xotigo Music
Just imagine if this was you. You could either be the one singing about his/her sweet thing or you could be the unfortunate spouse that over hears your lover singing about someone else. If you are the one that over hears, you are surprised and hurt, you know things have not been great between the two of you, but you had no idea that things had gotten this bad. I understand the hurt one's feelings in this.
LOVE DONT LOVE NOBODY ANYONE CAN GET HEARTBROKEN.
betty comes in right on time too.. go head girl...
She's cold!!
Oh My God, that sound so freaking Good!!! Brings back memories of the early 80's.
tuuuunnnnnneeeeeeee
love it when my babydaddy's wife pays his child support payment thank goodness for white women
@LaFaye Leclaire NONETHELESS.
