Nothin' But The Blues

I got a hole in my pocket ...I got a hole in my shoe
Every night so long ...since my baby gone
I ain't got nothin' but the blues

Came home one mornin' ...just a little bit after 4
Found my baby cryin' ...when I walked through the door
She say I know ya' been cheatin' ...and I got to let ya' go
And I don't love you no mo'

She said I tried to make you happy ...but you just won't treat me right
Mo' I try to make it work ...mo' you act just like a jerk
And ya' hit them streets ...damn near every night

Lord knows I gave you my body ...and you used it time after time
I did all the freaky thangs you asked me to ...to satisfy ...yo' dirty little mind

Now there just ain't no need and talkin' ...cause I won't believe one thang you say
I'm tired of yo' lies ...sick of yo' alibis ...we be better off ...go our separate ways

Ya'll know that hurt me so bad ...I didn't know just what to do
The pain of being alone cut right down to the bone ...I ain't got nothin' but the blues

I got a hole in my pocket ...I got a hole in my shoe
Every night so long ...since my baby gone
I ain't got nothin' but the blues
