I'm gonna take you down to the market, lover
Cuz that's where the trouble starts
You gotta get it into your heart
There are people out there to make you feel bad
But don't you listen, baby don't you listen Because I know you feel that way

But I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for [bad word] 

I'm gonna take her down to the market today
Cuz that’s where the trouble starts
You don't want nobody else
There are people out there to make you feel good
But don't you listen, baby, don't you listen Because you know they want it all

But I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for [bad word] 

Oh I'm getting so tired of people always crossing my wires
Life's just far too short for [bad word] 
 [bad word] [bad word]
