[Verse 1]

You got to love me, baby, got to treat me right

Stay with me both day and night

[Chorus]

You got to love me, mama

You got to love me, mama

You got to love me, mama, if you wanna get along with me

[Verse 2]

I ain't gon' stand no cheatin', baby, or runnin' around

If I catch you cheatin', I'm gonna put you down

[Chorus]

You got to love me, mama

You got to love me, mama

You got to love me, mama, if you wanna get along with me

[Instrumental break]

[Verse 3]

You've been messin' with me, baby, long enough

I ain't gon' take no more of your stuff

[Chorus]

You got to love me, mama

You got to love me, mama

You got to love me, mama, if you wanna get along with me
