I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I gotta find a way to set myself straight
'Cause I've been leaving home too early
And I've been coming home way too late

I gotta find me some self-control
And in my soul I know I can
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I'm gonna wait so I can be with my man

I gotta stop giving out my number
(Don't do it, don't do it)
I think I'll change my telephone
'Cause I said to my soul of thinking
About the way I've been carrying on

And all through the long hot summer
I'll be sitting home by the van
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin', no
I'll wait so I can be with my man

Cigarette smoker
Hollow mumbling joker
I've always got a story to tell, yeah
Hard fast drinker
With a good head swinger
Trying to keep it all to myself

I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I can't believe it's taking so long
(Been so long)
To realize that I've been living
(Don't wanna do it)
It can't be right when it feels so wrong
(Feels so wrong)

And like a cat pulls dirty litter
I'm coming out from the garbage can
Hey!
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin', no
I'll wait so I can be with my man

Cigarette smoker
Hollow mumbling joker
I've always got a story to tell
Hard fast drinker
With a good head swinger
Trying to keep it all to myself
Hey!

I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I can't believe it's taking me so long
(Been so long)
To realize that I've been living
(Don't wanna do it)
It can't be right when it feels so wrong
(Feels so wrong)

And like a cat pulls dirty litter
I'm coming out of the garbage can
Hey! I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I'll wait so I can be with my man

Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin', yeah

Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
I'm gonna wait for you, baby
Oh, oh, yeah
I'm gonna wait for you, baby
Oh, oh, yeah
Oh, oh, yeah
