[00:00.27] Cheaper To Keep Her - Johnnie Taylor
[00:01.84] If you're tied up
[00:02.71] You'd better stay tied up
[00:03.84] 'Cause it's cheaper to keep her
[00:06.02] This is from T services
[00:07.40] It's cheaper to keep her
[00:08.58]
[00:11.76] It's cheaper to keep her
[00:13.89]
[00:16.69] When your little
[00:17.51] Girl make you mad
[00:18.82]
[00:21.64] And you get an attitude
[00:23.07] And bagspack your
[00:23.88]
[00:25.94] Five little children
[00:26.94] That you're leaving behind
[00:28.61]
[00:29.86] Son, you're gonna pay some
[00:31.17] Alimony or do some time
[00:33.30] That's why
[00:34.17] It's cheaper to keep her
[00:35.61]
[00:36.48] Help me say it, y'all
[00:38.23] It's cheaper to keep her
[00:40.72] （It's cheaper to keep her）
[00:42.35] See, when you get through
[00:44.03]
[00:44.78] Staring that judge in the face
[00:46.90] You're gonna wanna cuss
[00:48.40]
[00:49.14] The whole human race
[00:51.46] That's why
[00:52.08] It's cheaper to keep her
[00:54.14] （It's cheaper to keep her）
[00:55.27]

[00:59.13]
[01:00.38] （It's cheaper, it's cheaper）
[01:02.25] （It's cheaper, it's cheaper）
[01:04.00]
[01:04.57] （It's cheaper to keep her）
[01:06.13]
[01:09.55] You didn't pay but two dollars
[01:11.36] To bring the little girl home
[01:12.99]
[01:13.74] Now you're about to pay
[01:14.86] Two thousand to leave her alone
[01:17.10]
[01:18.03] You see another woman out there
[01:19.97] And you wanna make a change
[01:21.84]
[01:22.52] She ain't gonna want you cause
[01:23.39] You won't have a damn thing
