Lyrics

Keep away from me, Mr. Welfare
 They just keep on saying I'm a lazy women, dont
 love my children and I'm mentally unfit
 I must divorce him, cut all my ties wth him cuz
 his ways they make me say
 It's a hard sacrifice(hard sacrifice), not having me
 a loving man
 Society gave us no choice, tried to silence my
 voice pushing me on th welfare
 I'm so tired, I'm so tired of trying to prove my
 equal rights
 Though I've made some mistakes for goddness
 sakes, why should they help mess up my life?
 ooh, so keep away from me, Mr.Welfare. Did you
 hear me? Keep away from me, Mr.Welfare
 Holding me back, using your tract, to make me
 live against my will,(hard sacrifice)
 If that's how it goes child, I dont know, I can't
 concede my life's for real
 It's like a private eye for the FBI, just as envious
 as the Klu Klux Klan
 Though I'm of pleasant fate it's hard to relate, I'll
 do the very best I can
 ooh, so keep away frome me, ooh ooh Mr.Welfare
 No no, did you hear me?(Keep away from me)
 don't come near me, stay away, Mr.Welfare
 They keep on saying I'm a lazy women, don't love
 My children and I'm mentally unfit
 I must divorce him, cut all my ties with him cuz
 his ways they make me say
 oooh, It; s a hard sacrifice. No no no no Lordy. Mr
 Welfare, Stay away Mr.Welfare
 I'm so tired, I; m so tired of trying to prove my
 equal rights
 Though I've made some mistakes for goodness
 sakes, why should they help mess up my life?
 Whoo whoo so keep away from me, ooh ooh Mr.Welfare
 Don't you hear me?(Keep away from me)
 Stay away Mr.Welfare.
 They keep on saying I'm a lazy women, don't love
 my children and I'm mentally unfit
 I must just divorce the man, cut all my ties with
 him cuz his ways they make me say
 Oooooooo, it's a scarifice(hard sacrifice), I gotta
 testify. (hard sacrifice)
 Mr.Welfare, Mr.Welfare (hard sacrifice, hard sacrifice)
 I'm so tired, of trying to prove my equal rights
 Though I've made some mistakes for goodness
 sakes, why should they help mess up life?
 Whoo whooo whoo keep away from me, Mr.Welfare
 Did you hear me? Keep away from me, Oooh Mr.Welfare
 They keep saying I'm a lazy women, don't love
 my children and I'm mentally unfit
 I muist divorce him, cut all my ties with him cuz
 his ways they make me say
 It's a hard sacrifice. I just want to testify. Lordy
 Lordy Lordy Lordy
 Um hmmm, keep away from me. Get on, get on, keep
