I want all you women
to listen to me
Don't trust your man
no further than your eyes can see
I trusted my man
with my best friend
But that was a bad bargain
in the end
trust no man
trust no man
no further than your eyes can see
I said trust no man
no further than your eyes can see
He'll say that he loves you
and swear that it's true
The very next minute he'll turn his back on you
trust no man
no further than your eyes can see
Just feed your daddy
with a long‑handled spoon
Keep showing you love him
morning night and noon
Sometimes your heart will ache
and almost bust
That's why
there's no daddy good enough to trust
trust no man
Ya take Ma'Rainey's advice
trust no man
(ahhhh)trust no man
trust no man
no further than your eyes can see
