What did I hear goin' on 'round town
You tell everybody you're gonna put the kid down
Whoa Loard baby you drivin' me insane
You been messin' with the kid, you better not be messin' with the man

You know the kid didn't jive, you know the kid didn't play
He said what he mean and he meant what he said
Whoa Lord now baby you drivin' me insane
You been messin' with the kid, you better not be messin' with the man

You spendin' my money as it come as a gift
I work for my money upon a eight-hour shift
Whoa Lord now, baby you drivin' me insane
You been messin' with the kid, you better not be messin' with the man

Now anything you want it, when you just say it
Didn't the kid buy, the time he got paid
Whoa Lord, baby you drivin' me insane
You been messin' with the kid, you better not be messin' with the man

You taken the kid's car and you drove it all 'round town
You told everybody you're gonna put him down
Whoa Lord, baby you drivin' me insane
You been messin' with my kid, you better not be messin' with the man
