I Didn't Take Your Man Songtext
von Ann Peebles

(Spoken)
Hello?
Oh hi Mary
I′m glad you called
Yeah, I've been wanting to talk to you too
I know you′ve been saying I'm a home breaker
A man taker and all
But you know that ain't true
The only reason he came to me in the first place
Is because he wasn′t getting what he needed from you
Whenever he had a problem
That you didn′t wanna hear about
He'd come to me
And I′d hear him out
We just got closer and closer
And then, one night, it happened
So, don't blame me
It′s all your fault that you lost your man
So you see, Mary


I didn't take your man
You gave him to me
I didn′t take your man
You gave him to me
I didn't take your man
You gave him to me
I didn't take your man
You gave him to me

I saw you mistreating him
Day after day
All I did was pick up a good love
You kept throwing away
Now you coming down on me, girl
Just getting all upset
But the way you treated that man
Whatever did you expect?

I didn′t take your man
You gave him to me.
I didn′t take your man
You gave him to me.
I didn't take your man
You gave him to me


If you have taken more time
To show him a little more care
He wouldn′t have been out there searching
For love someplace else
If u had been a good woman to him
And had treated him right
He still would be with you, girl
Instead of in my arms tonight

I didn't take your man
You gave him to me
I didn′t take your man
You gave him to me
I didn't take your man
You gave him to me
I didn′t take your man
You gave him to me
I didn't take your man
You gave him to me

I didn't take your man
You gave him to me
