Do I Make Myself Clear - Sugar Pie DeSanto, Etta James

I don’t wanna believe

The bad things about you, oh, no, now

'Cause if they’re true

I’ll have to get along without you, oh, ooh, now

I said the word, the sound on you Lord, yeah

It’s all about the things you do

Moving and a grooving

Using and a fooling

Chasing around, every skirt in town

If it’s true, you’ll be on your way

Do I make myself clear?

Do I make myself clear?

I said, you’re gonna have to

Stop and check yourself, oh, yeah, now

I’m not gonna have a man

That’s got somebody else, oh, no

Oh, you tell him now, girl, now, now

So if you’re running around, baby

Thinking of putting me down, you’re wrong

Taking away what belongs to me

Giving to her when I’m in need

If it’s true, you’ll be on your way

Do I make myself clear?

Do I make myself clear?

I said, do, do I, do I make myself clear?

Do you understand me?

Do, do I, do I make myself clear?

Oh, you better listen to her now

Oh, yeah, ohh, yeah, now

Oh, oh, oh

So why won’t you try to do

Something to change it, yeah, yeah

And make me know it’s not

The way they claim it, oh, yeah

Now let me tell you something

All I wanted you to be true, honey

Love me like you say you do, oh, yeah

And I won’t care for what they say

Instead, I’ll turn my head and walk away

But if it’s true, you know what to do

Do I make myself clear?

Do I make myself clear?

I said, do, do I

Do I make myself clear?

And oh, oh, oh, yeah, now

Oh, oh

I said do, do, do, do

Do I make myself clear?
