Listen, pretty
mama,
I won’t be with
you tonight, oh yeah.
I know you left,
yeah,
For someone
younger than I, oh yeah.
Listen up for
goodness sakes.
Me, I never had
much breaks.
Opened up my
heart, and then they all just let me down, whoa down.
Listen, sweet
baby, yeah,
I know it’s too
late to ‘splain, oh yeah,
Why I can’t please
you, yeah,
Like I did when I
was sane, yeah.
[chorus]
And the love you
gave to me will increase my will to be,
Be down, yeah.
[2x]
Yeah, yeah, down,
yeah, down, yeah.
