I had a friend one time
at least I thought
he was my friend
for he came to me
said I ain't got
no place to go
I said take it easy man
you can come home
to my house
I'll get you a pillow
where you can rest
your head
Took him home with me
let him in my house
let him drive my Cadillac
that I could not afford
When I found out
he'd been messing around
with my baby
You know I'm mad
like Al Capone
I said I'm mad
Like Sonny Liston yeah
You know baby I'm mad
like Cassius Clay
Yeah I'm mad
you know I'm mad yeah
baby
alright baby I'm mad

Took him home with me
introduced him to my baby
he began to talk to her
made her think
the moon was blue
You know I think I ought to tell
you daddy I'm mad
I said I'm mad with you
I don't know what I'm gonna
do to you
I might drown you
I might shoot you
I just don't know
because I'm mad
I said I'm mad
You know I'm mad
I don't have to tell
you I'm mad
I'm mad with you yeah
I said I'm mad
Yeah yeah yeah

You know I'm mad
