Gee, but it's hard to love someone, when that someone don't love you.I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, too. I've got the downhearted blues.Once I was crazy about a man. He mistreated me all the time.The next man I get, he's got to promise to be mine, all mine.
'Cause you mistreated me, and you drove me from your door.You mistreated me, and you drove me from your door,But the Good Book says, "You've got to reap just what you sow."
Trouble, trouble, seems like I've had it all my days.Trouble, trouble, seems like I've had it all my days.Sometime I think that trouble's is gonna follow me to my grave.
I ain't never loved but three men in my life.Lord, I ain't never loved but three men in my life.One's my father, and my brother, and the man that wrecked my life.
Now it may be a week, and it may be a month or two.I said, it may be a week, and it may be a month or two.All the dirt you're doing to me is, honey, coming back home to you.
I've got the world in a jug and the stopper in my hand.I've got the world in a jug and the stopper's in my hand.And if you want me, pretty papa, you've got to come under my command.
