GET MYSELF SOMEBODY
I was by myself
Tryin' to get my thoughts together
Tryin' to figure out me something
That would make my life a little better
So I came up with one thing
And I don't think I'm wrong
Ain't nothing but a fool want to live his life alone
So I got to get myself somebody
Somebody to call my own
Cause it ain't nothing but a fool want to live his life all alone
From log rollers to ditch diggers
From beggars to presidents
Whoah, everybody's got somebody if they got a little sense
So I got to get myself somebody
Somebody to call my own
Ain't nothing but a fool want to live his life all alone
Gettin' used to my baby's ways is the price I'm gonna pay
Gonna love her everyday when she talk too much and not know what she say
Gonna hold on to you baby like a dog holds on to a bone
Cause nothing in this world want to live his life alone
So I got to get myself somebody
Somebody to call my own
Cause it's nothing but a fool want to live his life all alone...all alone
Well I get so lonely sometimes...so lonely
Oh I get so lonely sometimes...
I was by myself
Tryin' to get my thoughts together

So I got to get myself somebody

Well I get so lonely sometimes...so lonely
Oh I get so lonely sometimes...
I'm all alone I'm all alone...
GET OFF MY BACK WOMAN
Yeah, you get off of my back, baby
Can't you tell you're choking me
Oh I ain't no pony, baby

GHETTO WOMAN
She's a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home
Oh poor ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home
She's just a ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home
To come home
A rat run cross the floor, a roach turn up the wall
Everything is noisy around her, that don't seem to bother her at all
Cause she's a ghetto woman, sittin there all alone
She's just a ghetto woman waitin for her man to come home
To come home
Yes, the tv's on, radio blastin' the news
Somebody down the hall, playin the low down dirty blues
My ghetto woman, she's all alone
She's just a ghetto woman, waitin for her man to come home
To come home
Cause she's a ghetto woman, said she's a ghetto woman
Oh, ghetto woman, what's on your mind

GLORY OF LOVE
You got to give a little
Take a little
And let your poor heart
Break a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
You've got to laugh a little
Cry a little
Until the clouds
Roll by a little
That's the story of
That's the glory of love
As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world
And all its charms
But when the world
Is through with us
We've got each other's arms
You've got to win a little
Lose a little
And always have
The blues a little

HOW BLUE CAN YOU GET
I’ve been down hearted baby
ever since the day we met
I said I’ve been down hearted baby
ever since the day we met
our love is nothing but the blues
baby, how blue can you get?
You?e evil when I? with you, baby
and you?e jealous when we’re apart
I said You?e evil when I? with you, baby
and you?e jealous when we?e apart
how blue can you get baby
the answer is 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
