[Verse 1]
Mama said she saw you walking the streets
You're are lookin' good and all dressed up to please
She stopped to say something and then turned the other way
The words that hurt so bad, didn't matter anyway
A little girl deserves the best and that you can't deny
And you look good in fancy clothes that your Mama can't provide
She loved to start this mess but she doesn't have the right
Too cute for a little girl for staying out all night

[Chorus]
Oh, sister (Sister)
Be oh-so-glad
We had to get you away from that man
He's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
He's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
Well, he's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
Oh-oh, he's the mack (Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)

[Verse 2]
Met on the corner, wedded on the streets
He ain't no loverman he's just a freak
She's just a single girl, a little runaway
He goes and puts her up, 'cause she's got no place to stay
He gives her love and gives her dope
That she ain't never heard of
Gives her food and gets her used, 'cause she's all used up
Girl, you're so beautiful, too beautiful to waste
You shouldn't spend your time walkin' down this place
[Chorus]
Sister (Sister)
Get us a plan
We had to get you away from that man
He's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
He's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
Well, well, he's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
He's the mack (Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)

[Bridge]
Maybe he don't love you
Maybe he's just using your love, baby
Maybe he don't love you
Maybe he's just using your love, baby
(Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
He's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
He's the mack (Ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack, ma-mack)
He's the mack (Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)

[Outro]
And he ain't no damn good, honey
(Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)
He's the mack
He's the mack
(Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)
(Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)
He's the mack
He's the mack
He's the mack
(Ma-eyah-eyah-ack)
And he ain't no good
