They Don’t Make ’em Like They Used To Lyrics by Keb’ Mo’
(Feat. Take 6)
I smell biscuits
Baked from scratch
Someone’s in the kitchen
Makin’ a fresh batch
Grand mama, tell me
What I got to do
To find me a woman
That can cook like you (she said)
Those days are gone
Them days are through
They got college educations
They ain’t gonna fix no dinner for you
Those days are over
Them days are through
Boy, you might as well face it
They just don’t make ’em like they used to
A good woman needs a good man
You got to give her everything you can
Treat her like a queen
And the Lord’s gonna bless you
Try to run her life
She ain’t gonna let you (that’s right)
Those days are gone
Them days are through
They got college educations
They ain’t gonna fix no dinner for you
Those days are over
Them days are through
Boy, you might as well face it
They just don’t make ’em like they used to
It’s a new time (new time)
A new day
Women want justice
They want equal pay
Times a changin’
You better know
You better know how to cook, how to clean and how to sew
Those days are gone
Them days are through
They got college educations
They ain’t gonna fix no dinner for you
Those days are over
Them days are through
Boy, you might as well face it
They just don’t make ’em like they used to
Those days are gone
Them days are through
They got college educations
They don’t do what they supposed to do
Those days are over
Them days are through
So you might as well face it
They just don’t make ’em like they used to
They don’t make ’em like they used to
They got jobs
No brooms
No mops
No scrub bucket
They got good jobs
They make money
More money than you
They don’t make ’em like they used to
