You've been runnin' in the streets again   But I'd never had a hand on you   I've been a better man this year   Than all the men that you've been through   Don't mistake kindness for weakness   'Cause a little girl, only a fool would stay with you      I tried so hard to please you, babe   I've even turned your lies to truth   I said, I tried so hard to please you, baby   I turned your lies to truth   But when you said were my baby   I think I got to ask you for more proof      Don't mistake kindness for weakness   'Cause your chicken has come to roost   I said, don't mistake kindness for weakness, baby   Your chicken done come to roost   I think another man would be a fool   To try to hang around with you      I'm all done Mister Nice Guy   But I ain't playin' around with your rules   If you think that's liquor talkin'   You better try an' get on back to school   So don't mistake kindness for weakness   Woman you done used up your, your last fool
