We Can't Agree

by Wilhelmina Gray / Louis Jordan recording of 1971 from In London (MCA 10843) You never treated me gentle Yet you spend up all of my gold Then you look around for a young man Tell me I'm too old That's why we can't agree Yeah, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you no more, baby It'll be way too soon for me You're known for being a lover You like to holler loud One man for you ain't nothing You talk so loud you draw a crowd That's why we can't agree Yes, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you no more, baby It'll be way too soon for me You're used to eating hot dogs When you go out to dine I taught you what a steak was And now you've almost lost your mind That's why we can't agree Yes, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you no more, baby Honey, that'll be way too soon for me You know it will Now your clothes look like a sifter Because they had so many holes You know we both Came from the ghetto, baby And everybody knows We can't agree Yes, baby, we can't agree Now if I don't see you No more, little woman Honey, it'll be way too soon for me Yes, it will Another one of them crazy endings That's the only way I could get out of it
