"Every now and then ya gotta take it on the chin Gotta turn the other cheek But then there's times your old stubborn pride Don't back down so easily And you got no choice but to let your voice Be heard and hold your ground And that's the point that he'll get the point And he'll probably back down But if he bows up and steps across that line Ya gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes [Chorus] Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy If you let me catch you cussin' out a kid or roughin' up a lady And God forbid that anybody mess with mine Ya gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Yeah I let it slide when that liquored up guy Asked me, ""Boy, what you lookin' at?"" And I kept my cool when the reckless fool Put a dent in my Cadillac And I don't care that my long hair Draws stares the way it does Long as you ain't throwin' stick and stones You'll probably be all right cause I'll take the high road if I can out of a bind But you gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes [Chorus] Man, I'll be the first one here to call you crazy If you let me catch you cussin' out a kid or roughin' up a lady And God forbid that anybody mess with that little girl of mine Ya gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Ya gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes Yeah, ya gotta whoop a man's ass sometimes
