        Ain't but one way out baby, lord I just can't go out the door. 
        D                                                        A 
        Ain't but one way out baby, lord I just can't go out the door.

        Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.

        Lord you got me trapped woman, up on the second floor; 
         
        If I get by this time I won't be trapped no more. 
        D                                                 A 
        So raise our window baby, I can ease out soft and slow. 
                          E 
        And lord, your neighbors, no they won't be  
        D                                  A 
        Talking that stuff that they don't know. 
 
 
        A     
        Lord, I'm foolish to be here in the first place, 
 
        I know some man gonna walk in and take my place. 
        D                                                     A 
        Ain't no way in the world, I'm going out that front door 
                             E              D                           A 
        Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know. 
                             E              D                           A 
        Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know. 
                             E              D                           A 
        Cause there's a man down there, might be your man I don't know.
