Track-By-Track: O/B #17
“What?
You talking to me?
Surely you jest.
I thought I made myself perfectly clear.
Get on out the door.
Listen, hon, read my lips.
Get out my face.
Get out my house.
Get out of my life!
Nah nah nah nah nah don't even try it.
Leave the keys on the table.
You'd better start packing your garbage.
Ooh, excuse me, I mean your luggage.
That's right.
Take your clothes off the closet and leave the hangers.
And if you think you're leaving here with that stuff I bought you for your birthday?
Like that Gucci wrist watch?
You are sadly mistaken.
I want every single item back so I can take it back to the store and get my money back, honey.
That's right.
I washed the clothes.
I cooked the food.
And I even cleaned up after your tacky little friend.
Not no more.
And your mama wouldn't even do that for you.
She'd stick you in a cubicle and call it a room.
Coming here all hours of the night.
Crawling in my bed trying to wake me up.
And what am I meant to do, just turn over and oblige?
Not here darling.
Nah, no more.
I don't know what other women you've been dealing with.
They were fools!
Not this girl here.
When you wanted me up, I was up.
When you wanted me down, I was down.
And when you wanted it around, it was around.
And what did you do for me?
Nothing.
Did you hear me?
No.
Thing.
Come on, hurry up and pack your stuff.
I'm getting ready to go out.
The girls are coming to pick me up and we're going to boogie, boogie, boogie down.
That's right.
Go on boy, I'm sick and tired of this.
Coming here, treating me any way you want to, talking all kind of garbage to me.
Treating me like a dog.
Not any more.
I am not just an obstacle.
Hmm.
Stop.
Sto-o-o-op that.
Mmmmm.
Don't think you can sweet talk your way out of this one.
Mmm.
Cut it out, stop!
Stop!
I hate to see a grown man beg.
Hey baby, you missed a spot.
Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks?
Jump.”

Note: this is an entry in the Track-By-Track series for my mix for O/B.
Track-By-Track is a series that looks back at records you will have heard in my mixes, one by one in the order they were played. Who made them, and when? How did I come across them? And what do they make me feel?
