You may have a pink cadillac
But don't you be nobody's fool


Now baby, Come back, baby, come

Come on back to me, little girl
So we can play some house

That I want you to know
Come on back and let's play a little house
And we can act like we did before

Try to understand
I'd rather see you dead, little girl
Than to be with another man
