"What You Gonna Do Leroy" lyrics

Well, that woman done told me a bare faced lie
I keep a-asking myself, "Man, why, why, why?"
Well, I work all day bring my paycheck home
Wake up in the morning find my money gone
She broke me daddy and she got me flat
But what you gonna do when you love a woman like that?

What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)
What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)

She said I'm going downtown to the grocery store
We got grits in the cupboard don't need no more
Yeah, she got dolled up and put perfume on
Three in the morning and that woman ain't home
I know she's a-totin' that grocery sack
But what you gonna do when you love a woman like that?

What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)
What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)

She said I'm going to the country spend a week with my mammy
But I believe to my soul she gave me a double whammy
I called up her momma said, "Louella been there?"
She said, "No, Leroy I ain't seen her nowhere"
I oughta leave her 'cause I got all the facts
But what you gonna do when you love a woman like that?

What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)
What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)
What you gonna do, Leroy? (Wa-wa)
