| I come home from working hard
|
| I pull up to my yard and there’s a man I used to know
|
| He used to love me right
|
| But then we had a little fight and now he’s on parole
|
| Well he’s lookin' mighty mean
|
| He likes to cause a scene
|
| So just hit reverse and pull out slow
|
| And don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| He wears his shirt untucked
|
| He’s got one eye covered up and he’s got a big 'ol 44
|
| He likes to drink 'til late, then he’ll break down your gate and he’ll throw
|
| you to the floor
|
| When he looks me in the eye, he’ll hit me 'till I cry, he’s trying to get
|
| inside my door
|
| But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| You can’t even stomp and shout 'cause it’s all over now and there ain’t nothing
|
| left to say
|
| But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| He saw me with another man, but he did not understand that I grew up with him
|
| in the same crib
|
| Joey started flaming red, he didn’t hear a word I said and now my brother’s got
|
| a broken rib
|
| Well, the judge and jury all agreed
|
| That Joey did a dirty deed
|
| And 50 yards is what the order said
|
| But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| He didn’t understand, the judge raised up his hand and said «You'd better leave
|
| that girl alone»
|
| But don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| No, don’t pay no mind to Joey, 'cause Joey don’t treat me good no more
|
| He’s a bad man, pay no mind, pay no mind |
