It’s a Hang Up Baby

Eddie Reeves

Sometimes you pick me up

When I’m feelin’ so mixed up and confused

Then you wanna go and drop me like a hot potato

Girl tell me what am I gonna do?

With you you mean mean woman

Now tell me what am I gonna do?

It’s a hang up baby

To be hung up on a woman like you

Remember when we met

You know we had a lot in common it’s true

But baby I don’t know where you’re at  

Girl tell me now what’s come over you

You do some mean mean voodoo

You got a monkey’s paw hangin’ over you

It’s a hang up baby

To be hung up on a woman like you

Baby you know I’m hung up on you

And there’s nothin’ I can do

You know I need you by my side girl

Oh let me tell you why now

I gave you lots of money

Little girl but you broke your daddy’s bank

Don’t you know I gave you all my lovin’ baby

But you didn’t even tell me thanks

Thank you you mean mean woman

Thanks to you I’m really confused

It’s a hang up baby

To be hung up on a woman like you

It’s a hang up baby

To be hung up on a woman like you.
