Cheaper to Keep Her (album version) Lyrics

Hmmm, if you're tied up, you better stay tied up,
'cause it's cheaper to keep her.
This is from T who says

It's cheaper to keep her.
It's cheaper to keep her.
When your little girl makes you mad, uh,
And you get an attitude and pack your bags,
Five little children you're leaving behind.
Son, you're gonna pay some alimony or do some time.

That's why it's cheaper to keep her.
Help me say it, y'all.
It's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
See, when you get through staring that judge in the face,
You're gonna wanna curse the whole human race. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
That's why it's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper to keep her.)

You didn't pay two dollars to bring the little girl home. (Ooh, ooh)
Now you're about to pay 2,000 to leave her alone. (Ooh, ooh)
You see another woman out there and you wanna make a change. (Ooh, ooh)
But she ain't gonna want you, 'cause you won't have a damn thing. (Yeah, yeah.)

That's why it's cheaper to keep her. (Yeah, yeah.)
Everybody sing along with me. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
It's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
By the time you get through looking that judge in the face,
You're gonna wanna curse the whole human race. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)
That's why it's cheaper to keep her.

It's cheaper to keep her.
It's cheaper to keep her.
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper.
It's cheaper to keep her.

I know you think the grass is greener (Ooh, ooh)
Way over on that other side. (Ooh, ooh)
When that judge gives you that dirty look, (Ooh, ooh)
You may as well put your money in mama's pocketbook. (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.)

That's why it's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
Cost too much to leave her alone, yeah. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
I know it's cheaper to keep her, yeah, (It's cheaper to keep her.)
'Cause you gonna pay some alimony if you leave home. (It's cheaper to keep her.)

I tell y'all, it's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper.)
All the fellas out there know what I'm talking 'bout. (It's cheaper.)
Don't you know, baby? (It's cheaper.)
It's cheaper to stay at home. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
I gotta tell you, I'll bring you the message tonight. (It's cheaper, it's cheaper.)

It's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper.)
Cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper.)
Cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper to keep her.)
Cheaper to keep her.
She's gonna cost you too much if you let her go, man.
It's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper.)
You might as well put up with your little arguments and fussing and fighting.
(It's cheaper to keep her.)
I'm-a tell you something tonight,
I'll tell you it's cheaper to keep her. (It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper.)
Ain't it, man?
Ain't it cheaper to keep her? (It's cheaper to keep her.)
Ha, yeah.
By the time you get through looking that judge in the face,
(It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper.)
You'll be lucky if you have, if you have a place to go.
It's cheaper to keep her.
I know a lot of things about alimony.
