Well now sittin' here so lonely....Feelin' oh so blue
My baby's tryin' to mistreat me and I don't know what to do
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah I've loved her for such a long time...To end it all this way
Sittin' here so lonely....Tears be fallin' just like rain
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah you know I love you baby...I'll do anything for you
But when we start to fightin'....I just get these same old blues
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love my baby....I can't live another day

Yeah now when I first met you baby....At a dance and we did fine
Now we're together and it's a total waste of time
So I'm cryin'....Why do I have to feel this way
If I can't love you baby....I can't live another day

Well I guess it's just my own fault....The truth I cannot hide
But if I ever get you back dear....I'll stay right by your side
I won't be cryin'....I'll stay happy that a way
I'll be lovin' my little baby....Every night and every day

I'm leavin' you woman....Before I commit some crime
I'm leavin' you woman....Before I commit a crime
You the evilest woman....I think ever crossed my mind

You put poison in my coffee....Instead of milk or cream
You poison my coffee....In with that milk and cream
You're the meanest woman....I think I've most ever seen

You mix my drink....With a can of Red Devil lye
You mix my drink....With a can of Red Devil lye
Then you sit right down....Watchin' me....Hopin' I might die

You better be watchin' me baby....Baby it was not my time
You better be watchin' me baby....Just might be your time
