[Chorus]
Don't let the sun catch you cryin', oh-ah, no
Cryin' at my front door
'Cause you done Dinah dirty
And she sure don't want you no more

[Verse]
I said, don't let the sun catch you lyin'
Lyin' at my front door
Mama's done turned salty
Baby, you made her so-so

[Bridge]
You can cry, cry, cry
My baby, go ahead and wail
Beat your head on the pavement
Till the man comes to throw you in jail

[Chorus]
But don't let the sun catch you cryin'
Cryin' at my front door, yes
'Cause you done Dinah dirty
And she don't want you no more

[Outro]
How could you have the nerve to do Dinah dirty?
And make her not want you no more
