Keep away from me, Mr. Welfare
They just keep on saying I'm a lazy women, dont
love my children and I'm mentally unfit
I must divorce him, cut all my ties wth him cuz
his ways they make me say
It's a hard sacrifice(hard sacrifice), not having me
a loving man
Society gave us no choice, tried to silence my
voice pushing me on th welfare
I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying to prove my
equal rights
Though I've made some mistakes for goddness
sakes, why should they help mess up my life?
ooh, so keep away from me, Mr.Welfare. Did you
hear me? Keep away from me, Mr.Welfare
Holding me back, using your tract, to make me
live against my will,(hard sacrifice)
If that's how it goes child, I dont know, I can't
concede my life's for real
It's like a private eye for the FBI, just as envious
as the Klu Klux Klan
Though I'm of pleasant fate it's hard to relate, I'll
do the very best I can
ooh, so keep away frome me, ooh ooh Mr.Welfare
No no, did you hear me?(Keep away from me)
don't come near me, stay away, Mr.Welfare
They keep on saying I'm a lazy women, don't love
My children and I'm mentally unfit
I must divorce him, cut all my ties with him cuz
his ways they make me say
oooh, It; s a hard sacrifice. No no no no Lordy. Mr
Welfare, Stay away Mr.Welfare
I'm so tired, I; m so tired of trying to prove my
equal rights
Though I've made some mistakes for goodness
sakes, why should they help mess up my life?
Whoo whoo so keep away from me, ooh ooh Mr.Welfare
Don't you hear me?(Keep away from me)
Stay away Mr.Welfare.
They keep on saying I'm a lazy women, don't love
my children and I'm mentally unfit
I must just divorce the man, cut all my ties with
him cuz his ways they make me say
Oooooooo, it's a scarifice(hard sacrifice), I gotta
testify. (hard sacrifice)
Mr.Welfare, Mr.Welfare (hard sacrifice, hard sacrifice)
I'm so tired, of trying to prove my equal rights
Though I've made some mistakes for goodness
sakes, why should they help mess up life?
Whoo whooo whoo keep away from me, Mr.Welfare
Did you hear me? Keep away from me, Oooh Mr.Welfare
They keep saying I'm a lazy women, don't love
my children and I'm mentally unfit
