Don't call my name out your window when I'm leavin'
I won't even turn my head
Don't sent your kinfolks, to give me no talkin'
I'll be gone, like I said
You'd just say the same old thing
That you be sayin' all along
Lay there in your bed and keep your mouth shut, till I'm gone
Don't give me that old familiar cryin', cussin' moan
Understand your man
Meditate on it
Understand your man
And you can give my other suit to the Salvation Army
And anything else I leave behind
I ain't takin' nothin' that'll slow down my travelin'
While I'm untangeling my mind
And I ain't gonna repeat what I said anymore
While I'm breathing air that ain't been breathed before
I'll be as gone as a wild goose in winter
Then you'll understand your man
Hear me talking now honey?
Understand your man
Understand your man
Meditate on it
Understand your man
