Lyrics
"Don't Mean What it Used to Mean"
(c) Vicki Lee
(Music Intro)
I. You let me pay th' rent.
I was happy to.
You said yo' money's spent,
'til yo' check comes through.
(Chorus)
You got another lover . . . Significant other,
don't mean what it used to mean.
It don't mean what it used to mean.
Don't mean. Don't mean. Don't mean what it used to mean.
II. Now, I remember when,
you stopped lovin' me.
Suspected nothin' then.
But, it's plain to see.
(Chorus)
(Guitar solo)
III. You just humpin' around,
to th' next good thing.
That lucky girl you found,
due for suffering.
(Chorus)
(Tag) Don't mean. Don't mean. Don't mean
what it used to mean, what it used to mean, what it used to mean.
Don't mean what it used to mean.
