I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I got to find a way to set myself straight
'Cause I've been leaving home too early
And I've been coming home way too late

I gotta find me some self-control
And in my soul I know I can
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
I'm gonna wait so I can be with my man

I gotta stop givin' out my number (don't do it, don't do it)
I think I'll change my telephone
'Cause I said to my soul of thinking
About the ways I've been carrying on

And all through the long, hot summer
I'll be sitting home by the van
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin', no
I'll wait so I can be with my man

Cigarette smoker
Hollow mumbling joker
I've always got a story to tell, yeah
Hard fast drinker
With a good head swinger
Trying to keep it all to myself
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin' (don't wanna do it)
I can't believe it's taken so long (been so long)
To realize that I've been livin' (don't wanna do it)
It can't be right when it feels so wrong (feels so wrong)

And like a cat pulls dirty litter
I'm coming out from the garbage can
Hey! I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin', no
I'll wait so I can be with my man

Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
I ain't gonna do any more cheap lovin'
Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yea-eah
Oh oh yeah
I'm gonna wait for you, baby
Oh oh yeah
I'm gonna wait for you, baby
Oh oh yeah
Oh oh yeah
