You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Without your love, baby
I don't know just what I would do
Years of loving you, you've been so true

I guess I've been lucky to have someone so dear
To talk and laugh and always bring me cheer
After all of these years you've been so true to me, baby
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you
After all of the lies I've told you
Just like giving you the stars
And buying you mink coats
Mink coats and diamonds, baby
Money in the bank and each year
Each year two brand new cars
You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Between me and you I know I've got the best deal
Let me thank you, baby, you've been so true

I LIKE TO LIVE THE LOVE
My song is a serious matter
It reflects what I feel
If I say I love you, I mean it
`Cause in my song
Every line is for real
Every man or woman
Enjoys going home
To a peaceful situation
To give love and receive love
Without any complications
Whether my tune is short or long
Whether my lyrics are weak or strong
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
Music is love
And my love is music
In perfect harmony
So when I sing
I have sung all about
The love of you and me
I never got angry with my guitar
`Cause when I strike a chord
It gives me what I wanna hear
So I'm finding out that
We are quite like my song together, my dear
Outside answers
Should always be forbidden
Problems should be solved
And never hidden
I like to live the love
That I sing about in my song
I like to live the love
I LIKE TO LIVE THE LOVE

I’LL STRING ALONG WITH YOU
You may not be an angel
'Cause angels are so few
But until the day that one comes along
I'll string along with you
I'm looking for an angel
To sing my love song to
And until the day that one comes along
I'll sing my song to you
For every little fault that you do have

The human little faults that you do have
Just make me love you much more

The next woman I get
She gotta have job

I just don't intend to work to hard
I won't have to buy the groceries
She gotta pay the rent
She gotta fill up my car every day
And give me account of every dime she spend
I made up my mind
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me
She gotta make me think she loves me
By staying in her place
And sleep in another room
So she won't be snorin' in my face
And when I ask her for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'
And don't you have no frown
I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
Yes I'm gonna do the same thing
The same thing they been doing to me
Now when I ask for some money
To go out on the town
I want you to hand it to me smilin'

Now that might sound cold to ya baby
You might think I'm unfair
But I've been hurt so many times
Till I, I really don't care
I made up my mind baby
If this is the way life has gotta be
I'm gonna do the same thing
I'M GONNA DO WHAT THEY DO TO ME
The next woman I get

I'M GONNA QUIT MY BABY
Well, I work hard everyday
Come home straight home with my pay
My baby either drink it up
Or she threw it all away
I'm gonna quit my baby
If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin'
Well, I would rather be alone
Than to be worried out of my mind
Well, I give her all of my money
I think I'm being kind
She buy a quart of bad whiskey
And the rest is beer and wine
Well, a few nights ago
I had to work kinda late
Somebody broke out of my house
Just like he was Superman's mate
Well, four o'clock this morning, when I staggered in the block
The little moonshine joint and the rest just begin to rock
I sneaked inside to get a better view
I'M GONNA QUIT MY BABY
Well, I work hard everyday

I caught my woman doin' the mambo too
I'M KING
I've been around the world, seen everything
And if it's love you want baby just give me a ring
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues
I've loved in sunshine, I've loved in the rain
All of the women who know me call that loving man
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues
Some people go to school to try and learn their trade
Yes, but I'm a lover, a lover by nature
That's why I know, I know, I know I've got it made
Yes, you might think I'm jokin' or just havin' fun
But they tell me the reason I'm the king
I'm a lovin' son of a gun
I can't lose with the stuff I use
I'm the king of the blues
I'M PUTTING ALL MY EGGS IN ONE BASKET

Too many irons in the fire
Is worse than not having any
I've had my share and from now on
I'm putting all my eggs in one basket
I'm betting everything I got on you
I'm giving all my love to one baby
Lord help me
If my baby don't come through

INTO THE NIGHT
Caught in quicksand
Starting to sink
So tired of struggling
That my mind can barely think
Don't know where I'm going
Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Fuel supply is finished
Ain't nothing left to burn
I need someone to help me
But I don't know which way to turn
I know I don't have much of a choice
I'll go out of my mind
Or into the night
Rolling and tumbling
Spinning end over end
Got to have some peace and quiet
So I can find myself again
Ask me what's the matter
Hey, I don't know what to say
People all around me
But I'm so alone
I guess they'd like to help me
But I have to do it on my own
I know I don't have much of a choice
I'll go out of my mind
Or into the night
I STAY IN THE MOOD
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
You've always fooling around
Givin' my love to somebody else
Still I stay in the mood for you
And I can see you everywhere I go
Still I stay in the mood for you
And I can see you everywhere I go
Well, if something soon don't happen
My heart is gonna break I know
Well, you said that you love me
You've sworn that you'll be true
But now you're tellin' stronger
That I'm just a fool you know
But I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
Please come back to me baby
'Cos I'm tired of livin' by myself
IT HAD TO BE YOU
It had to be you
It had to be you
I've wandered around
Finally found
Somebody who
Could make me be true
Could make me be blue
And even be glad
Just to be sad
Thinking of you
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Try to be boss
They wouldn't do
For nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Some others I've seen
Might never be mean
Might never be cross
Or try to be boss
But they wouldn't do
'Cause nobody else
Gave me a thrill
With all your faults
I love you still
It had to be you
Had to be you
Had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
It had to be you
Wonderful you
It had to be you
Had to be you
INTO THE NIGHT
Caught in quicksand
Starting to sink
So tired of struggling
That my mind can barely think
Don't know where I'm going
Lord, I don't know what I'm gonna do
Fuel supply is finished
Ain't nothing left to burn
I need someone to help me
But I don't know which way to turn
I know I don't have much of a choice
I'll go out of my mind
Or into the night
Rolling and tumbling
Spinning end over end
Got to have some peace and quiet
So I can find myself again
Ask me what's the matter
Hey, I don't know what to say
People all around me
But I'm so alone
I guess they'd like to help me
But I have to do it on my own
I know I don't have much of a choice
I'll go out of my mind
Or into the night
I STAY IN THE MOOD
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
Yeah, I stay in the mood for you
'Cos I just can't help myself
You've always fooling around
Givin' my love to somebody else
Still I stay in the mood for you
And I can see you everywhere I go
Still I stay in the mood for you
And I can see you everywhere I go

I'VE GOT SOME OUTSIDE HELP I DON'T NEED
All of your affection is gone baby
And your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby
and your love is growing cold
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
One that ain't never been told
I went to work the other day
But I thought that I would double back
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!
I ain't got none now baby
I think you've been cheating on me
I believe to my soul baby,
that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need
The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
And he didn't even ring twice
I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby,
that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need
Now, I want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And I want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice
And when I come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf.
I want to tell that slick insurance man
That he'd better write some insurance on his self.
Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby,
that you've given me some help, some help
I'VE GOT SOME OUTSIDE HELP I DON'T NEED
All of your affection is gone baby
And your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby
and your love is growing cold

I WONDER WHY
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right
She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said
She don't care if I don't eat
'Cos she don't know how the rent is paid
She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between
She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between
She mistreats me and she cheats me
Meanest woman I ever seen
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight
The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight
Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight
