You know you better change now baby
Baby there's always another day

Oh your friend will always tell you baby
They'll say that you're going strong
Oh your friend will always tell you baby
They'll say that you're going strong
Well they'll smile and call you lover
Fool, don't you know you're doing wrong

Oh you better stop right now baby
You better stop now and draw the line
Yes you better stop right now baby
Baby better stop now and draw the line
Oh, I want you to tell me that you love me baby

And love all your no-good friends behind

GOT 'EM BAD
There's no doubt about it
A may as well shout about it
I got the blues
I got'em bad

Yes this awful feeling
When you don't have what you thought you had
Oh yesterday, yesterday I sang love songs
But today I got'em bad

Oh, I didn't know she would leave me
I didn't know she was gone
Well, at last she should've told me goodbye people
But she stole away while I was gone
Yes that's what makes me feel so sad people
Oh, and today I got'em bad

Oh, I could tell you much more people
But I think you already how I feel
Oh, I could tell you much, much, much more people
But I think you already how I feel
Yes, you know I'm hurt beyond explaining people

And it's all because I've got a dirty deal

TROUBLES DON'T LAST
Oh just let me hold you baby
I'm trying to forget about the past
Yes, let me hold you baby
I'm trying to forget about the past
Yes, I know you've had a hard time baby
But remember troubles don't always last

Oh you tried so hard to tell me you love me
And I didn't believe a word you said
You tried so hard to tell me you love me, woman
And I didn't believe a word you said
But now I'm older and I'm wiser, baby
And now I can understand your ways

Oh, I'm at your mercy, woman
Do with me what you will to me
Yes I'm at your mercy, baby
Just do with me what you will to me
Yes I'm not asking for sympathy baby
Yes I was wrong and I must pay

Oh, I'm asking for just one more chance
Baby, to try to prove my love to you
Well, I'm asking you for just one more chance
Baby, to try to prove my love to you
You just say the word now baby

And I'll do anything you tell me to

YOUR LETTER
Yes your letter reached me early this morning baby
and I read every word you had to say
I said your letter reached me early this morning baby
and I read every word you had to say
But you know I just don't understand you waman
If you love me why in the world did you go away

Your letter said that you're doing ok
But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."
Your letter said that you're doing ok
But then it read: "Please, let me come back home."
Yes, you said you were so tired, so tired baby
And you wanted someone you could call your own

But memories don't fail me woman
I remember the day you left
Oh my memories don't fail me baby
I remember the day you left
Well you know you told me then and I believe you now woman
That you were grown and you've been take care of yourself

So now here is my answer baby
And the words come straight from my heart
Well, here is the answer to you letter woman
And the words come straight from my heart
Yeah it's against my will I know
I could love you still baby

But baby I just can't play the part

I CAN'T EXPLAIN
Oh, I can't explain baby
But heaven only knows why
Oh, I can't explain
And heaven only knows why
yes, I'll be in love with you baby
I guess until the day I die

You are to me, baby
What the water is to the sea
Oh, you are to me, baby
What the water is to the sea
I only want your love, baby
So tell me why don't you want me

Yes, I don't believe in miracles
I believe what's to be will be
Yes, I don't believe, I don't believe in miracles
I only believe what's to be will be
Yes but if I did believe in miracles, baby
Baby, you would be a miracle to me

Yes, you're my first thought baby
Yes my last and in between
Oh, you're my first thought baby
Yes my last and in between
I say you're the greatest champion baby

Oh that any man has ever seen

THE WRONG ROAD
I know you've been cheatin' on me baby
And I know you don't mean me no good
Oh I know you've been cheatin' on me, woman
And I know you don't mean me no good
That's why I blame myself
I didn't treat you like I should

Oh, I was too good to you baby
I gave you everything I own
Yes, I was too good to you woman
I gave you everything I own
That's why I blame myself
Every time you do me wrong

You got your eyes wide open woman
But you're travelling down the wrong road
Oh you got your eyes wide open baby
And you're travelling down the wrong road
Yes, a wine drinkin' and cheatin', woman is one thing I can't afford

I NEED YOU BABY
Oh I need you baby
Yes I need you baby
Oh I need you baby
Come on back home to me
I'll make it all up to you, woman
Just you wait around and see

I was wrong baby
I thought I was having fun
I know I was wrong baby
I thought I was having fun
Yes I was young and foolish
I didn't know you was the one

Now I've settled down baby
And I know I'll treat you right
Oh I've settled down baby
And I know I'll treat you right
Yes, come on home now baby
I want you to come on home tonight

Oh I need you baby
Yes I need you baby
Well I need you woman
I need a good woman around
Every night about this time baby

My love comes tumbling down

SO MANY DAYS
So many days
I'd rather steal away and die
So many days
I'd rather steal away and die
I was too blue to live
And to mean to die

You've been so mean baby
You've been so mean to me
Baby, you've been so mean
You've been so mean to me
I've got to get even with you woman
You just hang around and see

Baby you ain't no good
You ain't no good no how
Baby you ain't no good
You ain't no good no how
Yes, the way I used to love you woman
Baby that's the way I hate you now

Yes, you can pack your clothes baby
You can pack your clothes and go
Pack your clothes, woman
You can pack your clothes and go
I want you to know baby

You ain't no better than the little girl I had before

DOWNHEARTED
I?e been down hearted
Ever since the day we met
Baby I?e been down hearted
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues
Baby, how blue can you get?

My love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes my love burned like a fire
Your love burned like a cigarette
Yes I've seen you put it down and crush it
Baby, how blue can you get?

Oh you?e evil when I? with you, baby
And you?e jealous when we?e apart
Yes you?e evil when I? with you, baby
And you?e jealous when we?e apart
How blue can you get baby
The answer's right here in my heart

I gave you a brand new Ford
But you said: I want a Cadillac
I bought you a ten dollar dinner
and you said: thanks for the snack
I let you live in my pent house
You said it just a shack
I gave seven children
And now you wanna give them back
I said I?e been down hearted baby
Ever since the day we met
Our love is nothing but the blues

Tell me how blue can you get?

STRANGE THINGS
Learn to love or leave me
Either one you wanna do
Learn to love or leave me
Either one you wanna do
Because strange things are happening
And something may happen to you

Well, if you know you don't want me baby
Why in the world would you let me be
Yes if you know you don't want me baby
Tell me why would you let me be
Because it's better to live without you baby
Than to live on in misery

Yeah, midnight finds me crying
Oh daylight finds me crying too
Yes midnight finds me crying
Daylight finds me crying too
You better straighten your mind pretty baby

Because something may happen to you
