The Real End

Once I had a sweet love
Always followed me around
The way I treated my little lamb was like
The Marquis D. Sade and Her new clown, well

I guess I hurt him
I guess I hung up
I guess I should have called him back
I guess I didn't care
Maybe I left him there
Maybe a woman just acts like that, well

What's the matter?
Hey baby, baby, what's the matter?
Don't you want me?
What's the matter?
Now baby, baby, what's the matter?

Is this the real end??
Is this the real end??
Is this the real end??
Is this the real end??

Well, I had some dough
And I had a big car
And I turned around and all the money was spent
I don't know wherever it goes, so
That's probably where my baby went

And you got a new boy
He's so fine
He wants to be with you all the time
But don't tell him he's the only one
Or your new boy becomes a hard to find

What's the matter?
Hey, baby, baby, what's the matter?
Don't you want me?
What's the matter?
Now baby, baby, what's the matter?

Is this the real end?
Is this the real end?
Is this the real end?
Is this the real end?

Could I tell you about it? (Do-do-do-do, oh, do-do-do-do, oh)

Once you find yourself a better man
Treat him special all of the time
Make him some catfish
Fry it up in bed
Don't leave him hangin' on the telephone line

Keep him guessing
Don't tell him where you are
Keep your old linen to yourself
Keep your bank account
What you don't worry about
If you can give, well, it might work out

What's the matter?
Hey, baby, baby, what's the matter?
You look so funny
What's the matter?
Now, baby, baby, what's the matter?

Is this the real end?
Is this the real end?
Is this the real end?
Is this the real end, baby?
