In the Middle of the Game (Don’t Change the Play) by Betty Wright
Ooooooh yeah
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were sweet to catch him, to keep him, keep it that way
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were good to the last drop, don’t stop keep it that way
Give her breakfast in bed sometimes
Tell her that she’s been on your mind
Take a ride somewhere nice to eat
Put a pair of Jimmy Choo’s on her feet
Stop nagging on him all the time
Start bragging on him sometimes
Go some places he wants to go
And make him thinks that he runs the show
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were sweet to catch her, to keep her, keep it that way
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were good to the last drop, don’t stop keep it that way
Make sure there’s gas in the car
Give her money to go to the spa
And she’ll never forget who you are
In fact, you’ll be a superstar
When his friends are watching sports in the den
Get in the kitchen hook him up something
And even if you can’t cook nothin’
Have a little takeout brought in
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were sweet to catch him, to keep him, keep it that way
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were good to the last drop, don’t stop keep it that way
You’d better (keep) it that way
You ought to (keep) it that way
You’d better (keep)
You ought to (keep)
Keep it that way
You’d better (keep) it that way
You ought to (keep) it that way
You’d better (keep)
I said (keep)
Keep it that way
Why do they always have to change?
When you’re wearing their ring and you’re bearing their name
Woooooo
Why can’t it stay like, when it was new
Cos if deserve me, preserve me, I’ll be all that I can be to you
Ohhhhhhhhh!
Ohhhhh (Don’t change)
Ohhhhhhhh! (Don’t change baby)
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh wooooo
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were sweet to catch him, to keep him, keep it that way
In the middle of the game, don’t change the play
You know you were good to the last drop, don’t stop keep it that way
(You know you what it took to get him)
(You know you gotsa to keep it that way)
(You ought to keep it that way)
(You know what it took to get that woman)
(Some adlib and riffs)
Don’t change
Don’t don’t change (x 3)
Don’t change
Don’t don’t change (x 3)
Don’t you change baby
Don’t change
Don’t don’t change (x 3)
Don’t you change baby
(Don’t change in the middle of the game)
