Joe Tex - "Woman Stealer"

I don't understand the lyrics of that song. I couldn't find it on the internet. Can someone explain the lyrics to me briefly?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Joe Tex - "Woman Stealer"

My friend from abroad tried to write the lyrics according to the recording.
Your opinion? Do you think this is ok?

The next time I go to work, people
I'm taking my woman on my job with me
Whoa, oh oh oh
The next time I go to work people yeah
I'm taking my woman on my job with me
'Cuz there's some women stealers out there
who‘s out to steal every man's woman they see
And it's always the ones ya'll
That can't seem to  get a woman of their own, haha, ahh
Uh, uh, uh
It's always the ones ya'll
That can't seem to get a woman of their own
But he‘ll flash a few dollars at your woman hah
And if she not used to money, he'll have her and gone
But listen to this
Now me and B.B. King and Bobby Blue Bland and Little Johnny Taylor
Done worked out us a plan
The next time we catch you women stealers
We're not gonna call the police man, huh
But we're gonna take care of business on your head
with our own bare hands
Next time I go to work ya’ll
I believe I better take my woman on my job with me
‘Cuz there‘s some women stealers still out there
… and they‘re stealing, they don‘t care they‘re robbing and they‘re hijacking every man‘s woman that they see

I had never heard of this song, which isn't surprising given that it only got to #103 pop/#41 R&B. But I gave it a listen on YouTube, and yes, that looks to be a good transcription of the lyrics.

The first line of your post brought a big smile to my face reminding me of 60s teens trying to write out the lyrics to Louie, Louie.  I appreciated it, it pulled me out of a bad mood caused by a previous hour of frustration.

Sorry, I guess I didn't write the first sentence correctly. My English is poor, I'm just self-taught.
But I hope everyone understood what I wanted to express and will forgive my clumsiness.
Taz, if I improved your mood, I'm glad.

There was nothing wrong with your sentence, it just reminded me of teenagers trying to decipher the words to Louie, Louie.
