Curtis Mayfield
Cashing In
[Verse 1]
I told you boy, the day that we met
Consider yourself a millionaire
And as long as you do the very things that are true
Then my love will be your [?]
But here lately, I found that you're not taking your sweet time
Handling your business right
You're writing all the bad cheques you can't cover
Slow down [?]
[Chorus]
Always taking out, never putting in
Just for how long do you think that can last?
And when I found you had opened my deposit box
That was the last straw, I can't take it no more
I'm cashing in yeah
To make it balance on my account
[Verse 2]
Said, I gave you every chance to take care of business
Now I think I have to close you out
I'm cashing in, cashing in on you, babe
[Chorus]
Always taking out, never putting in
Just for how long, how long do you think that can last?
And when I found you had opened my deposit box
That was the last straw, I can't take it no more
I'm cashing in yeah
To make it balance on my account
[Outro]
I'm cashing in, cashing in on you, babe
Said, I gave you every chance to take care of your business
Said, I think I have to close you out
I'm cashing in, I'm cashing in on you, babe
I'm cashing in, cashing in
I'm cashing in, cashing in on you, babe
Yes I am!
