My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean My man he don't love me he treats me oh so mean He's the meanest man that I've ever see My baby wears high peg pants stripes are really yellow Baby wears high peg pants stripes area really yellow When he starts into love me he's so fine and mellow Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long Love will make you drink and gamble make you stay out all night long Love will make you do things that you know is wrong Do right baby if you stay home every day I'll do right baby if you stay home every day You're so mean and evil I know you're gonna drive me away Why did he leave me why did he have to go Why did he leave me why did he have to go Went off and left me baby I loved him so I'll be a good wife to you if it means anything to you I'll stay home every night and I'll love you And kiss you every night and one of these days If you're good to me honey one of these day If God is good to me I'll bring you a little burny Come back to me baby try me one more time Cos without your loving I swear I'm gonna lose my mind |
