Leaving You Dinner Lyrics – Joe Tex
Singer: Joe Tex
Title: Leaving You Dinner
Ooh-hoo
Y’all, I’m tired
Oh, Lord
Ooh, ooh
Y’all, I’m hungry
Oh, Lord, ooh-wee
Soon as I stepped up on her porch
I could smell the food, heh
But I knew something about this whole thing just wasn’t cool
She had napkins with my initals on ’em and soft candlelight, ha-ha
But she had never done this before
And I knew something wasn’t right
I didn’t know, but I could feel
There was something special about this meal
She baked my favorite roast and baked my favorite bread
And when I asked her what we were celebratin’
Here’s all she said
She said “Eat, you clown
Eat it, baby”, well
“That’s your “I’m leaving you” dinner
Pick up your fork and eat, you dog
Eat it, baby”, well
“That’s your “I’m leaving you” dinner”, oh Lord
Ooh-hoo
All of a sudden I ain’t tired, oh Lord
Mmm, ooh-hoo
All of a sudden your boy ain’t hungry
Hey-hey, Lord, uh!
I said “Baby, you can’t cook like this for me and just leave”, heh
She said “Well you better put some food in your deep freeze
For as soon as I wash these pots and pans, I’m goin’ out the door
And you can bet when I leave this time I won’t be back no more”
She said “Eat, you clown
Eat it, baby”, well
“That’s your “I’m leaving you” dinner
Pick up your fork and eat, you dog
Eat it, baby”, well
“That’s your “I’m leaving you” dinner”, ooh-ooh
What did I do?
What did I say to make you walk out on me this way, ha
I worked, ha, and I worked hard, well
Gave you everything that your heart desired, baby
What is wrong, what did I do?
Baby, did I ever mistreat you, oh Lord
All you had to do was a-watch TV, ha
I don’t see why you’re doin’ this to me, Lord
You watched a-every night “The Price Is Right”
One life to life, “Secret Storm”, they got it right
That’s all you had to do, ha
All you had to do, baby, ha
All you had to do, baby
Why you wanna do me this way, ha
‘Cause somehow I knew this
