You tied up, you better stay tied up
'Cause it's cheaper to keep her
This is from T, who says
It's cheaper to keep her, it's cheaper to keep her

When your little girl make you mad
And you get an at***ude and pack your bags
Five little children that you're leavin' behind
Son, you're gonna pay some alimony or do some time

That's why it's cheaper to keep her, help me say it, y'all
It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)

See, when you get through starin' that judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss the whole human race
That's why it's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her, it's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her

You didn't pay but two dollars
To bring the little girl home
Now you're about to pay two thousand to leave her alone

You see another woman out there
And you want to make a change
She ain't gonna want you
'Cause you won't have a damn thing

That's why it's cheaper to keep her
Everybody sing along with me
(It's cheaper to keep her)
It's cheaper to keep her

(It's cheaper to keep her)
By the time you get through lookin'
That judge in the face
You're gonna wanna cuss the whole human race
That's why it's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her

I know you think the gr*** is greener
Way over on the other side
When that judge gives you that dirty look
You may as well put your money in Mama's pocketbook

That's why it's cheaper to keep her
(It's cheaper to keep her)
It costs too much to leave her alone, yeah
(It's cheaper to keep her)

I know it's cheaper to keep her, yeah
(It's cheaper to keep her)
'Cause you're gonna pay some alimony if you leave home
(It's cheaper to keep her)

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her
It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her

It's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper, it's cheaper
It's cheaper to keep her
