[Chorus]
Oh, do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
Do I have to keep you under lock and key?
Do I have to put handcuffs on you, mama?
Now we both know that's not how it should be
Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
You're a sweet fine sexy woman and you're good to a man
'Cause if I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama
I hope that you will understand

[Verse 1]
If I have to keep you barefoot and pregnant
Oh, to keep you here in my world
(Lay down, girl) Lay down and take off-a your shoes
'Cause I'm a-gonna do to you
What it is I've got to do

[Pre-Chorus]
If we've been fighting like you say that we do
I know you won't mind if I be possessive, now would you?
Your creature-like lovin', you know it is to blame
That's why I can ask you and not even feel ashamed

[Chorus]
Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
Are you susceptible to flatter and games? (Lord, we can game)
Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
Will you submit to the first human who calls your name?
'Cause if I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama
Don't you know I know that that wouldn't be uncool
Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
I don't mind, I'll offer the moon, yeah
Yeah, I'll be the fool

[Verse 3]
I don't care about lookin' like chauvanistic kinda whatever
All who call me that can go to hell
And if I find that I need some help
Gonna pull out my chastity belt
What it is, I've got to do

[Pre-Chorus]
If we've been fighting like you say that we do
Then you won't mind if I be possessive, would you?
Your creature-like lovin', you know it is to blame
That's why I can ask you and not even feel shame

[Chorus]
Oh, do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
Do I have to keep you under lock and key?
Do I have to put handcuffs on you, mama?
Now we both know that's not how it should be
Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
Are you susceptible to flatter and games? (Lord, we can game)
'Cause if I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama
You're a sweet fine sexy woman and you're good to a man

Do I have to put my handcuffs on you, mama?
Hopin' you, hopin' you'll understand
