Drop That Zero Songtext
von Denise LaSalle

Girl, you′re working your fingers to the bone
While your no good man is playing around at home
When it's time to eat, he′s always at the table
But when it's time to pay your bills, the man say he ain't able
Going around bragging that he really got you hooked
Making love to you with his mind on your pocket book

You oughta drop that zero
Well, and get yourself a hero
You oughta drop that zero
Girl, and get yourself a hero, yeah

You′re trying to hold on to a love that isn′t there
Refusing to face the fact, the man don't really care
He′s always putting you down, talking about your friends
Saying they are to blame for the shape your life is in
Open your eyes, girl, you will plainly see
That man is the cause of all your misery


You oughta drop that zero
Girl, and get yourself a hero
You oughta drop that zero
Girl, and get yourself a hero, yeah

I'm not the kind of friend that wanna run your life
I believe a good friend should give good advice
You′re qualified and able to find somebody else
Girl, don't you know you can do better all by yourself?
Open your eyes, girl, you′ll finally see
That man is the cause of all your misery

You oughta drop that zero
Girl, and get yourself a hero
You oughta drop that zero
Girl, and get yourself a hero

Listen girl (drop that zero)
You see that man is no good, but don't worry
Here's what you better do
You better get up (drop that zero) and go out
And find yourself somebody that′s gonna help you pay these bills
Somebody that will help you (drop that zero), feed your little children


Somebody that will help you stay off the Welfare line
Somebody that will help you (drop that zero) keep a roof over your head
Go out, find somebody
It′s more than one fish out there (drop that zero)
Swimming in the deep blue sea
