Got a little girl, little and low
She used to love me but she don´t no more
She gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

Got a little girl, she stays upstairs
Make a living by putting on airs
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, man
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

Front door shut, back door too
Blinds pulled down, what´ cha gonna do?
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

Got a little girl, her name is Ball
Give a little bit, she took it all
I said step it up and go-Yeah, man
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

Me an´ my baby walking down the street
Telling everybody ´bout the chief of police
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

Tell my woman I´ll see her at home
Ain´t no lovin´ since she been gone
Gotta step it up and go-Yeah, go
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go

Well, I´ll sing this verse, ain´t gonna sing no more
Hear my gal call me and I got to go
Step it up and go-Yeah, man
Can´t stand pat, swear you gotta step it up and go
