'Fore day in the mornin', babe,

You ain't got home yet.

Hmm, it's 'fore day in the mornin', babe,

You ain't got home yet.

I cried and cried

'Til my pillow's soaking wet!



Babe, I can't get started

Since you threw me down,

Hmmm, I can't get started

Since you threw me down,

I thought you were the square, babe,

And you played me for a clown.



I loved you, baby,

But you don't mean me no good.

Hmmm, I loved you, baby,

But you don't mean me no good.

You give me so much trouble

I believe I move from your neighborhood!
