I GOT TO LEAVE THIS WOMAN
I got to leave this woman
But I ain't got nowhere else to go
I got to leave this woman
I ain't got nowhere else to go
You see, she owns everything
Including the carpet on the floor

When I was givin' her my money
She treated me like I was B.B. King
Hey, when I was givin' her my money
She treated me like I was B.B. King
Now I ain't got no money left
Now she treats me
Like I'm not even a human bein'

I got to leave this woman
I can't take this kind of treatment no more
Got to leave this woman
I can't take this kind of treatment no more
I've got one big problem
I ain't got nowhere to go

Hey, all the pretty furniture she got
I even bought her a mink coat too
Yeah, all the furniture she got
I even bought her that mink coat too
Now that we've got a divorce
Tha's waht she put me through

I got to leave this woman
But I ain't got nowhere else to go
I got to leave this woman
Can't take this kind of treatment no more
She owns everything

Even the carpet on the floor

SINCE I FELL FOR YOU
You made me leave my happy hoe
You took my love and now you're gone
Since I fell for you

Love brings such misery and pain
I guess I'll never be the same
Since I fell for you

Oh, it's too bad, oh, it's so sad
I'm in love with you
You love me, then you snub me
But what can I do
I'm so in love with you

Oh, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you

Well, it's too bad, oh, it's so sad
That I'm in love with you
Oh, you love me, then you snub me
Oh, but what can I do
I'm so in love with you

Oh, I guess I'll never see the light
I get the blues 'bout every night
Since I fell for you

Since I fell for you

I KNOW
I know you don't love me no more
No more, no, no more
And I don't wanna be hurt anymore
Anymore
I love so hard
Everything I did was no joy
If I can't love you right, baby
I don't have to love you at all

I know you don't want me no more
No more, no, no more
And I need someone else
Who's gonna love me more
Love me more
Ain't no need me cryin' now
After you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby
Ain't no use you hangin' round

I know you don't want me no more
No more, no, no more
And I need someone else
Who's gonna love me more
Love me more
Ain't no need me cryin' now
After you have put me down
If you don't want me no more, baby
Ain't no use you hangin' round

I know you don't want me no more
I know, I know
And I don't wanna be hurt anymore
Anymore
Love me more
After you have put me down
Ain't no use you hangin' round
You don't want me no more, baby

Ain't no use you hangin' round

PEACE OF MIND
I've had everything that money can buy,
oh, but still I'm so unhappy darling, that I could cry
Because I've never had peace of mind, darling, in my life time

When you're in trouble and all down and out,
then you'll find out, darling, what it's all about
Then you'll realize that peace of mind, darling, is hard to find

I've been everywhere, seen everything but I only have myself to blame,
for not realizing while I was riding high that happiness is something money can't buy
Oh, the things I haven't done, darling, are very few
Yes, I've had trouble baby, and good luck too

Oh, but I've never had peace of mind, darling, in my life time

MONDAY WOMAN
Oh, my Monday woman
Starch and iron my clothes
Monday woman
Starch and iron my clothes
My Tuesday woman
Pays my room rent and board

Oh, my Wednesday woman
Buys my hat and shoes
Wednesday woman
Buys my hat and shoes
And my Thursday woman
Woman always singin' the blues

Well, I feel like jumpin'
From the treetop to the ground
Feel like jumpin'
From the treetop to the ground
Because my friday woman
Woman just talks all the time

Well, I don't want no woman
Got to give my money to
Don't need no woman
I got to give my money to
She'll spend it all on a bar
The woman don't mean no good

AIN'T NOBODY LIKE MY BABY
I'm in love with a real fine woman and she gives me everything
I said I'm in love with a real fine woman and she gives me everything
And it makes me feel so good, just to hear my baby call my name

My baby's sly way of loving, makes me feel so good I could sing
Hey my baby's sly way of loving, makes me feel so good I could sing
I feel just like I'm a millionaire, when I hear my baby call my name

Oh, there ain't nobody like my baby, that's the reason I love her so

Oh, ain't nobody, nobody like my baby, that's the reason I love her so
People, I would even die for her, I want the whole round world to know

When I'm down she'll picks me up, she says, 'Daddy, you can't lose'
Oh, when I'm down, when I'm down, she picks me up, tells me, 'Baby, you can't
lose'

When all of my friends forget about me, my baby keeps away all these blues

But while you're young, y'all
We can make it better
If we take care of our bodies while we can

'Cause makin' love is good for you
Makin' love is good for you

Play the game and swear they're havin' fun
But if we make a little love
From the very start
What a lovely way to getto know someone

So makin' love is good for you

So take care of your body

Better than love
I swear he must've kept it there for myself

So take care of your body

DON'T GO NO FARTHER
You need meat, go to the market
You need bread, try the bakery
If you need love, baby
Don't go no farther
Just come on home with me

ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
You won't listen to nothing I tell you, baby
You keep on doing just as you please
Hey, you won't do nothing I tell you, baby
Keep on doing as you please
I've taken as long as I can, baby
When is this foolishness gonna cease

I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
I said I've worried myself crazy, baby
Cried both night and day
You don't believe me, baby
But I'm gonna leave one of these days

Well, you told me that you love me
But actions speak louder than words
Oh, you said you love me, baby
But action speaks louder than words
I won't be fooled no longer, baby
That line everybody's heard

Well, If you're gonna change, baby
You better do it real soon
Hey, If you're gonna change
For the better, baby
You better do it real soon
Because you'll wake up one of these mornings

Find yourself in a empty room

WHAT YOU BET
Someday I'll be gone
Believe me, it won't be long
When I leave you it's gonna grieve you
What you bet

You're abusing of our romance
I'm warning you in advance
You're gonna cry when I say bye bye
What you bet, what you bet

I smiled when you mistreated me
My friends called me a fool
I firmly believe where love is concerned
You've broken every rule

Oh, you got a good thing in me
You're gonna lose me, wait and see
You won't wake up until we break up
What you bet, what you bet

Oh, I smiled when you mistreated me
My friends called me a fool
I firmly believe where love is concerned
You've broken every rule

Oh, you got a good thing in me
You're gonna lose me, wait and see
You won't wake up until we break up

What you bet, baby

YOU'RE ON TOP
Yes you're on the top now, baby
But don't nothing stay the same
Hey you're on the top now, baby
But don't nothing stay the same
Every now and then, baby
Lady luck deals another hand

You're calling me your pal now
When I used to be your man
Hey you're calling me your pal now, baby
When I used to be your man
You're flying real high now, baby
Go on and raise your sand

I realize now, baby
Your kind of love ain't true
Hey I realize now, baby
Your kind of love won't do
Well what should've been, baby

Now has all fell through

TOO GOOD TO YOU BABY
Oh, I know you've been cheatin' on me, baby
And I know you don't mean me no good
Hey, I know you've been cheatin' on me, baby
And I know you don't mean me no good
That's why I blame myself, baby
Because I didn't treat you like I should

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

Hey, you've got your eyes wide open, baby
But you're traveling down the wrong road
Oh, your eyes is wide open, baby
But your traveling down the wrong road
A wine drinkin' and a cheatin' woman

Is one thing I can't afford

I'm In The Wrong Business
I'm in the wrong business
I swear I ain't lyin'
I stay hungry, broke all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'

Should have been a boxer
Makin' the movie "Rocky 3"
I would be a star
Like the wrestler Mr. T
Should've been like Michael Jackson
When I was the age of five
But chose this guitar
Now I'm broke and can't survive

I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
'Cause I stay hungry, broke all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'

These guitar freaks
Have made my blood sugar go up
Be better off
If I was driving a trailer truck
Like Boxcar Willie
I played these blues and made me a bum
I'm gonna give up this music
Move back to the farm

I'M IN THE WRONG BUSINESS
I ain't lyin'
'Cause I stay broke, hungry all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'

I've played these blues
Now I'm full up to my neck
If I keep on playin' I tell you
I'm gonna do like Johnny Paycheck
He had a job
Got money for years
I'm gonna shelve my guitar
I ain't got no job to shelve

I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'
Stay broke, hungry all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin'

I'm in the wrong business
I ain't lyin', folks
Stay broke, hungry all the time
I'm gonna send my guitar home
Leave these blues alone
I'm in the wrong business

I ain't lyin'

SHE'S MY BABY
I've got a right to love my baby
Oh, she treats me just like a king
Hey, I've got a right to love my baby
I said she treats me just like a king
Oh, she eases my mind, body and soul
My baby, she can do most anything

Oh, she's my doctor when I'm sick, people
She's my all around standby
Hey, she's my lawyer when I'm in trouble
And she's my mother when I wanna cry
I've got a right to love my baby
Hey, can't you see the reason why?

That gives me a right to love my baby
She's always here by my side
Hey, my sweet undersanding baby
She makes my temperature rise
And when it comes to kind treatment people
My baby's an angel in disguise

Well, when I'm sick she's my doctor
When I'm well she's my pride and joy
Hey, when I'm cold
When I'm cold she's my cover
And she calls me "my little baby boy"
When I'm tired and wanna play, people

It's my baby that's my toy

IT'S STILL CALLED THE BLUES
People Got Money
Still Got problems
Got to the doctor
And try to solve them
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues

Baby needs new shoes
Mama needs a new dress
Daddy's out scufflin'
Tryin' to do his best
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues

Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again

You party on a Saturday
Go to church on Sunday
Fun leaves you because
Gotta work on Monday
Anyway you look at it
It's still called the blues

Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something
And start it all over again

Ain't got no money
To pay the rent
Baby's gone
You spent your last cent
Mm, still called the blues
Still called the blues, y'all

Anyway you look at it
Makes no difference
What you do or say
The blues might still
Come your way
Just when you think
Your trouble's about to end
Along comes something

And start it all over again
