Williams (tenorsax), Andrew "Jr. Boy" Jones (guitar), Charles Neugent (Fender bass) and T. J. Johnson (drums). It's written by Al himself - "a Dupree special" so to speak.
You're gettin' mighty bold baby You act like I don't exist Yes you're gettin' mighty bold baby You act like I don't even exist You better get your act together Or you'll be on that famous list You walk out the door And you holler "baby I'm gone" Yes you walk out the door And you holler "baby I'm gone" I don't see you no more baby Till the morning news is comin' on Now you think you're awfully smart And that I am just a fool You got a lot of things to learn, you got to Play according to the rules Now they say that marriage Is a lot of give and take Som I'm givin' you a lot of freedom And you can take that to the bank You're too bold for me baby So I've got to let you slide You gave me a lot of worry, I say Thank you for the buggy ride!
