(You Can Have My Husband But Please) Don't Mess With My Man Lyrics

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

Now, when I was with my husband he was really mean
But when I'm with my man he treats me like a queen

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

Now the money my husband made was for red beans and rice
My man gives me steaks, now ain't that nice?

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

the money my husband made was for red beans and rice
My man keeps me in steaks, now ain't that nice?

You can have my husband
But please don't mess with my man
I'm telling all you women
I want you all to understand

Yes. . . he's mine
Don't mess with him
Leave him alone!

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
