Take me back baby: You know I don't know my mind
For when I'm mistreating you: I'm loving you all the
Time

I walked the streets all day: Hung my head and cried
I laid awake all night: Trying to make myself satisfied

There's one thing honey: I want you to understand
That's your time ain't long: If I catch you with another
Man

You ain't good‑looking: And you don't dress fine
But there ain't no reason: Let some other man read my
Sign

Going down to the river: Honey don't you wear no black
Because when you think I'm gone: I'll come creeping back

If you don't want me: Why don't you tell me why
Because you flirting with the undertaker: I mean it
Ain't no lie
