Taking Up Another Man's Place

An old favorite of mine that I sang when I was with Little Feat. Aretha's always been such a mentor to so many of us along the way!!!

TAKIN’ UP ANOTHER MAN’ PLACE
ISAAC HAYES/DAVID PORTER
IRVING MUSIC, INC. (BMI) SUNG BY MABLE JOHN

YOU DON’T WANT ME, AND YOU DON’T WANT NOBODY ELSE TO WANT ME
WHAT KIND OF MAN, WHAT KIND OF MAN ARE YOU?
YOU DON’T NEED ME, AND YOU DON’T WANT NOBODY ELSE TO NEED ME
WHAT KIND OF THING ARE YOU TRYIN’ TO SEND ME THROUGH?

NOW IF YOU’RE NOT GONNA TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS
THEN YOU OUGHT TO STOP TAKIN’ UP SPACE
CAUSE YOU’RE JUST TAKIN’ UP, THAT’S ALL YOU’RE DOIN’
YOU’RE JUST TAKIN’ UP ANOTHER MAN’S PLACE

OH BABY YOU DON’T EVEN, YOU DON’T EVEN
WANT ME TO GO TO THE STORE ALONE
WHAT KIND OF MAN, WHAT MANNER OF MAN ARE YOU?

YOU RUN OVER ME
TRYIN’ TO ANSWER THE TELEPHONE
TELL ME WHAT KIND OF THING
YOU THINK YOU GONNA PUT ME THROUGH?

YOU KEEP ME WANTING
THE ONE THING YOU NEVER GAVE
WELL RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
YOU CAN STOP TAKIN’ UP ANOTHER MAN’S SPACE

BABY, I BEEN FAITHFUL AND YOU KNOW I BEEN TRUE
BUT IF YOU’RE NOT GONNA LOVE ME BABY
TELL ME WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO?

YOU KEEP ME WANTING, YOU KEEP ME WANTING THE ONE THING
YOU NEVER GAVE, WELL, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW
YOU CAN STOP TAKIN’ UP ANOTHER MAN’S PLACE

OH, IF YOU’RE NOT GONNA LOVE ME BABY
AND YOU KNOW I NEED SOMEBODY TO LOVE ME
WELL, YOU JUST OUGHT TO STOP TAKIN’ UP ANOTHER MAN’S PLACE
IF YOU REALLY DON’T NEED ME, IF YOU SAY YOU REALLY DON’T NEED ME
DON’T YOU KNOW THAT YOU OUGHT TO
STOP TAKIN’ UP ANOTHER MAN’S PLACE, YOU KNOW I NEED SOMEONE
