[ Featuring the Howlers ]
Cassima, am I throwin' my money away on you?
Cassima, I can't stop my mind from preyin' on me
Baby, don't worry about last night
I was feelin' so bad, I put up a fight
The point you made it hit close to home
You said some people stay together too long
Cassima, I got to think for myself
Don't want to be on the shelf
I ain't blind or deaf
You won't find a man who's willing to stand by you like me
Cassima, I'm climbin' a tree, but it won't hold me up
Cassima, you're down there underneath but you won't look up
It's like a sunset at the end of the road
It's a little too far and it's way down too low
And the cold gleam in the wild dog's eyes
He's seen me runnin' and he's just behind
Cassima, I got to think for myself
Don't want to be on the shelf
I ain't blind or deaf
You won't find a man who's willing to stand by you like me
Cassima, there's a cat on the screen, but he can't get in
Cassima, his heart's set on your cream, but he won't get any
Cassima, ain't no swami can tell what tinkers your bell in the mystery hour
Cassima, there's a haint in my house
Why don't you come over and help chase him out?
Cassima, I got to think for myself
Don't want to be on the shelf
I ain't blind or deaf
You won't find a man who's willing to stand by you like me
You won't find a man who's willing to stand by you like me"
