How Low Can You Feel

How low do you feel

When your baby walks out?

Well, it ain't no time for you to twist and shout

How low do you feel

When she tells you goodbye?

You get so dead gone lonesome, you wanna die

I was broke so flat, I couldn't raise a dime

Locked in jail and couldn't pay my fine, pay my fine

It never helped my moral to be called a heel

But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel

When you find another man a-layin' in your place

And she throws your old work clothes out at your face

You gotta tell yourself, that it just can't be real

But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel

I was broke so flat, I couldn't raise a dime

Locked in jail and couldn't pay my fine, pay my fine

It never helped my moral to be called a heel

But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel

How low do you feel, when old friends say

Have a drink on me and pass the time away?

They sympathize with you and say, you got a bad deal

But when your woman walks out, how low do you feel

I was broke so flat, I couldn't raise a dime

Locked in jail and couldn't pay my fine, pay my fine

It never helped my moral to be called a heel

But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel

It never helped my moral to be called a heel

But when your baby walks out, how low does she feel
