You left me for another man, baby
Tell me what did he do for you
Yes, you ran away with another man,
I want to know what did he do for you
And he ain't got no more,
When I was your fool, baby
Hey, I worked for you, both night and day
Yes, I was your fool, baby
Oh, you know I had to be a fool, baby
Oh, to let you treat me this way
I got your letter this morning, baby
And I read every word you had to say
Yes, you know I got your letter
And I read every word you had to say
Oh, but if you loved to me
like the say you do, baby
Then why in the world did you go away?
You never said you was doin' alright
"Please let me come back home"
"Please let me come back home"
So here is my answer to your letter baby
I've been doing alright since
So you love me or leave me, baby
Baby, either one you wanna do
Oh, I said, "Love me, love me,
Baby, either one you wanna do"
Because you see strange things happening,
And something good happened
If you know you don't want me
Baby, why won't you let me be?
Oh, if you know, if you know,
if you know you don't want me
Baby, why won't you let me be?
to live without you, baby
Than to live on in misery
Oh, midnight find me cryin'
Daylight catch me cryin' too
Yes, I said, "Midnight, midnight,
Daylight catch me cryin' too"
You better straighten you mind,
Nobody loves me but my mother
And she could be jivin' too
nobody loves me but my mother
And she could be jivin' too
Now you know why I act so
When you do the things you do
