Oh, do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
Do I have to keep under lock and key?
Do I have to put hand cuffs on you, mama?
Now we both know that's not how it should be

Do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
You're a sweet fine sexy woman and you're good to a man
Cause if I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama
I hope that you will understand

If I have to keep you barefoot and pregnant
Oh, to keep you here in my world
(Lay down, girl) lay down and take off-a your shoes
Cause I'm a-gonna do to you
What it is I got to do

If we've been fighting like you say that we do
I know you won't mind, if I'm possessive, now would you?
You preach about lovin', you know it is to blame
That's why I can ask you and not even feel ashamed

Do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
Are you susceptible to flatter and game? (Lord we can game)
Do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
Will you submit to the first human to be called a name?
Cause if I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama
Don't you know I know, that that would be uncool
Do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
I don't mind, I'll offer the moon, yeah
Yeah, I'll be the fool

I don't care if I'm lookin' like a chauvenistic kind of whatever
Some kind, Carl, you can go to hell
If I find that I need some help
Gonna put on my chastity belt
What it is, I got to do

If we've been fighting like you say that we do
Then you won't mind, if I'm possessive, now would you?
You preach about lovin', you know it is to blame
That's why I can ask you and not even feel ashamed

Oh, do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
Do I have to keep under lock and key? (ahhh)
Do I have to put hand cuffs on you, mama?
Now we both know that's not how it should be

Do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
Are you susceptible to flatter and game? (Lord we can game)
Do I have to put my hand cuffs on you, mama?
Girl, you're a sweet fine sexy woman and you're good to man
Will you submit to the first human to be called a name?
Hopin' you, hopin' you will understand
