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
