john lee hooker, jr. - you blew it baby lyrics

[verse 1]
i got a text message late last night
and when i read it i couldn’t go back to sleep
i’m not gonna tell you who it was baby
i’m gonna keep her anonymity
but i did a background check on your new friend baby
and i thought i’d let you know
he was just released from prison and now
he’s running on parole
he was convicted for a crime
for what i’m ashamed to say
but you need to protect yourself at all costs babe because
it goes both ways

[chorus]
you blew it baby
oh, little girl, you blew a good thing
yes you did
you chose a loser for a winner
you quit a veteran
you quit a veteran for a beginner

[verse 2]
i know that when a woman chooses a man
she profiles him with careful critique
he must be tall, dark, and handsome
and have a pretty cool physique
his s-xual performance must live up
to your highest expectations
he must have money in the bank
to improve your current situation
one thing that troubles me baby, is you claim
to be so very smart
i wanna know how in the h-ll was he gonna take care of you
when he don’t even have a job

[chorus]
you blew it baby
oh, little girl, you blew a good thing
yes you did
you chose a loser for a winner
you quit a veteran
you quit a veteran for a beginner

[verse 3]
i thought your mother taught you
all that glittered wasn’t gold
you had the audacity to take a youngster
because you say that i was kinda old
it’s a good thing that i took a prenuptial agreement
because i’m a player and i recognize game
just like a leopard can’t change his spots woman
you never ever change
[chorus]
you blew it baby
yes you did
i can’t understand why you put yourself in a trick bag like that
you chose a loser for a winner
you quit a veteran, heh
for a beginner
oh-oh-oh
you blew it baby
when you lied and said you were going over to your sister’s house and never arrived
you blew it baby
i tried to give you everything i had
yes i did, baby
you chose a loser for a winner
lord have mercy
you quit a veteran for a beginner
