Take Inventory

Ooh, I want all you fellas to take good inventory

Listen to my story:

"If you give true love

And I know you do

Soon your woman

Will believe in you

So you can't be too sweet

I know you can't be too kind

She'll break your heart, boys

And control your minds"

(Listen to my story)

One thing I know now

And this is a fact (Take an inventory)

She'll be cryin'

And tryin' to take you back

No, good man

Don't go for it

Don't be a fool

Well, well, won't you tell her (Listen to my story)

To dry her eyes

And go away (Take an inventory)

But not too far, baby

You may want her back someday (Listen to my story)

And if this happens

She'll go by your rules (Take an inventory)

She'll do what you tell her

And you'll do what you wanna do[Bridge]

Alright, just sit back and be cool

(Listen to my story)

Alright

And she'll do what you tell her to do

Ooh

Well, well, well, well

Be sure to lie (Listen, listen, listen, listen)

And be sure to cheat (Listen, listen, listen, listen)

(Listen to my story)

Always keep that woman beggin'

At your feet

Don't be so loyal (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

And don't be so true (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

(Take an inventory)

'Cause if you are, boy

They'll run over you

Show who's the boss, now (Listen, listen, listen, listen)

And show who's the king (Listen, listen, listen, listen)

(Listen to my story)

Show you can be cold, now

And you can be mean

Alright (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

Tell me how you like my story (Take it, take it, take it, take it)

(Take an inventory)[Outro]

Ah, did you take good inventory? (Take an inventory)

If you have, then it's good, now (Take an inventory)

Oh, but if you haven't, you should (Take an inventory)

Ha, tell me how you like my story (Take an inventory)

Did you take good inventory? (Take an inventory)

Ow, if you haven't, you should, babe (Take an inventory)

Well, if you have, then it's good (Take an inventory)
