I've Got Some Outside Help I Don't Need

All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold 
I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold 
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby 
One that ain't never been told 
I went to work the other day 
But I thought that I would double back 
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door 
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah! 
I ain't got none now baby 
I think you've been cheating on me 
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help 
That I don't think I really need 
The iceman came by this morning 
And you know he didn't leave no ice 
The postman came by later baby 
And he didn't even ring twice 
I think you've been cheating on me 
I think you're running out on me 
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help 
That I don't think I really need 
Now, I want you to tell the iceman 
The next time he'd better leave some ice 
And I want you to tell the postman 
He'd better ring more than twice 
And when I come home from work in the morning 
Better still be some groceries on the shelf 
I want to tell that slick insurance man 
That he'd better write some insurance on his self 
Yes, I think you've been cheating on me 
I think you're running out on me 
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help 
Some help, I don't really need
