recording of 1976
from
Come Back Baby (Storyville 8035)
You know you don't love me, I wanna know why you're trying to keep telling me lies
I know you don't love me, I don't understand why you keep telling me these lies
Oh, but I'm gonna get wise, baby, you know I'm gonna wake up to all your lies
I've been a fool one day, but I ain't gonna be a fool all the time
I've been your fool, baby, but I ain't gonna be your fool all the time
I know you've been running around, oh, you've been drinking whiskey, beer and wine,
you've been staying out at night with your men
But someday, baby, oh, I ain't gonna put up with your low-down dirty way
Oh, someday, baby, you know I ain't gonna put up with your low-down dirty way
I'm gonna walk here leaving, I'm gonna find me some other place
I know you thank your smile, you think, I fall on all your evil lies
Oh, I know you thank your smile, you think, I fall on all your low-down stories
When I told you I'm gonna get hip, baby, I ain't gonna let nobody up check my play
It's bye, bye baby, it's bye, bye, if you wanna call me at home
While if you wanna hear to me, you might well find you another home
