Sista...You Better Mind Your House

by Joyce Rogers



                      You better mind your house sista,
                 Before a bird makes her nest in your attic.
                     When she decides to make her flight
                    It might be awfully traumatic...;

                   Your husband might be under her wings.
               All because you failed to do the right things.

                            Now I know some men
                         Ain't gonna do right,
                           No matter what you do.
                  But don't let the reason he left,
                             Be because of you.

                          Good men are in shortage,
                      No matter what color the brotha.
                     That's why some of us sistas
                        Are back stabbing each other.

                            Mind your house sista
                          And let me tell you how.
                     I know you don't wanna be the
                      Reason that your baby went afoul.

                           Listen to his concerns
                         For therein you will learn,
                   A comforting embrace and listening ears
                Will go a long way in eliminating his fears.

                    Stop yo nagging and start yo praying.
                 Watch the words that your mouth is saying.
                        Pray alone and pray together,
                 Whether it's sunny or stormy weather.

                            Enjoy the "pleasure"
                             Of being his wife,
                      It's the simple things that
                             Count in your life.

               Don't be so spiritual that you can't have fun.
                    A sense of humor never killed anyone.
                       Don't be so serious girl.
                Help him keep the stress down, in his world.

                        Be his friend until the end.
                     Be his woman, let no other slip in.
                                Be his cover.
                      Don't let anyone dishonor.
                  Be his lover...enjoy those special hours.

                Don't spend too much time in all kinds
                     Of meetings or joining every club,
                       When you could be joining your
                          Man in your own bathtub.

 Girrrl, I'm telling you right now sista...you better mind your house!

                       Stop watching them soap operas
                         And gossiping on the phone.
                        Or you may be the next story,
                    When your man has left you all alone.

                           Think of a simple thing
                      Like preparing his special dish.
                      Girl I'm telling ya...;
                     You'll get more than a kiss.

                       The bed is undefiled...my sista
                            So use your brain and
                          Think of things that will
                              Drive him insane.

                                Life is short

                Don't think of this as strange or odd.
                   Your man is a wonderful gift from God.

           In a nutshell, Sista girl, pleaseeee...mind your house!
