Ain't but one way out,
Lord, I ain't goin' out that door
Ain't but one way out,
Lord, I ain't goin' out that door
There's a man down there,
May be your man, I won't know

Lord you got me trapped woman,
Up on the second floor;
If I get by this time,
I won't be trapped no more.
So raise our window baby,
I can ease out soft and slow
And lord, your neighbors,
Won't be talking stuff they don't know.

Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place,
I know some man gonna walk in and take my place.
Ain't no way in the world,
I'm going out that front door
Cause there's a man down there,
Might be your man I don't know.
Cause there's a man down there,
Might be your man I don't know.
