Get OffThat Dirty Floor
Vondirea Holley 1961 (Baltimore)
Get off that floor, baby
Don’t tell me he been knocking you round
Leaving you black and blue again
Girl you betta handle that mess of a man
Get off that dirty floor
Chico’s open for business
Let’s go down and freshen your face
Makeup can hide your painful scars
Left by a monster who felt no remorse
Do you mind, I mean really mind
Get off that dirty floor
Seems like a lifetime since we last spoke
Hope you finally got up off that filthy floor
And is now taking care of yourself
Baby, your life is important
And I’m begging you Please
Please stay off the dirty floor
