Lyrics
If you're tied up, you'd 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 make you mad And you get an attitude and pack your bags Five little children that 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 cuss the whole human race 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) You didn't pay but two dollars to bring the little girl home Now you're about to pay two thousand to leave her alone You see another woman out there and you wanna make a change She ain't gonna want you 'cause you won't have a damn thing That's why it's cheaper to keep her Everybody sing along with me 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 cuss the whole human race That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her) Its 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 Way over on the other side When that judge give you that dirty look You may as well put your money in mama's pocketbook That's why it's cheaper to keep her (It's cheaper to keep her) Cost too much to leave her alone, ha, 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 All the fellas out there know what I'm talking bout Don't you know it's cheaper to stay at home I gotta tell you I'll bring you the message tonight It's cheaper to keep her Cheaper to keep her Cheaper to keep her Cheaper to keep her She's gonna cause you too much if you let her go, man It's cheaper to keep her You might as well put up with your little arguments and fussing and fighting I am gonna tell you something tonight I'll tell you, cheaper to keep her Ain't it, man Ain't it cheaper to keep her, ha, yeah By time you get through looking that judge in the face You'll be lucky if you even have a place
