I think the lyrics posted above must be from the wrong song. Here's what I hear, via Spotify:
BEWARE
(Words and music by Eric Randle)
She's up early in the mornin', dialin' your phone, talkin' 'bout what your man did last night.
'Course she wouldn't be worried 'bout what your man did, if she had her own thing up tight.
Now her so-little plan, to keep you fightin' your man, hopin' that you'll put him down,
But when you throw him out, Lord, Lord knows, she'll have him 'fore his feet hit the groun'.
CHORUS:
You better beware of a dog that bring a bone; she's only tryin' to break up your home.
You better beware of a dog that bring a bone; she's only tryin' to break up your home.
She's the leader of the grapevine, always on time, to spread some gossip aroun'.
She'll try to use the one that she's talkin' to, just puttin' the next one down.
She'll tell you [to] watch me, and me to watch you; we'll try to steal each other's man,
But you can be damn sure she'll try to steal 'em both, if ever she got a chance.
CHORUS
You know she'll find a way to pick your mind, put you on the gossip train.
She'll use what you say to bring about hate between you, Shirley, Annie, an' Jane.
CHORUS
As sung by Etta James on "How Strong Is a Woman: The Island Sessions" (1993)
Also on Etta James, "Stickin' to My Guns" (1990)
