歌词
Got to tell you the truth
I got to tell you the truth
Oh, Brother Jack, you're going with Sister Sadie
When you ought to be at home with your old lady
But your heart is divided in so many pieces
Trying to please them both
Never pleasing either
Oh, Jack
Take it on back
Before your good thing is gone
Because the downfall of too many men is the upkeep of too many women
So, take care of your homework, fellas
If you don't, somebody will
Oh, yeah
You better take care of your homework, fellas
If you don't, somebody will
Now wait a minute here
Oh, Brother Fred, how he used to run
Staying out all night, leaving his homework undone
Now Fred's old lady took as much as she could stand
Then one night the nextdoor neighbor gave him a helping hand
Oh, brother, take it on home
Before your good thing is gone
Because the downfall of too many men is the upkeep of too many women
So, take care of your homework, fellas
If you don't, somebody will
Oh, you better hear me now
I said, you better take care of your homework, fellas
If you don't, somebody will
Listen to me, y'all
Take it on home
Get off the streets, y'all
Take it on home
All right
Brothers, let me tell you
These girls are getting hip
You can only slide so long before you make a slip
Take care of your homework, fellas
If you don't, somebody will
Oh, hear me now, hear me now, hear me now
You better take care of your homework, fellas
If you don't, somebody will
Take it, take it, take it on home
Take it, take it, take it on home
