Well, you're standing on the corner flagging all the girls you see

Now do like EC and let those ladies be

You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong

Boy, you better get control -- that's how you got killed before


That girl you just met who got a big guy for a pal

Who'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal

So take it steady, man, let those women go

Well, I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before


Now, you wouldn't listen, Ephrom, you got two black eyes

That's what you get, Daddy, for messing with men's wives

So take it steady, whoa, let those women go

Well, I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before


My Flame Burns Blue version

Well, you're standing on the corner flagging all the girls you see

Now do like I say and let those ladies be

You know that's wrong, man, you know that's wrong

I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before


That girl you meddled got a big guy for a pal

He'll put knots on your head for messing with his gal

So take it easy, man, you'd better take it slow

Well, I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before


Now, you wouldn't listen to me, you got two black eyes

That's what you get, man, for messing with men's wives

So take it easy, whoa, let those women go

I'm just trying to tell you -- that's how you got killed before
