I'm driftin', I'm driftin'
like a ship out on the sea
I'm driftin' 3x
like a ship out on the sea
No, I ain't got nobody
in the world to care for me
if me baby would only take me back again, back again 2x
I know I'm a good for nothing
and I haven't got no friends
listen to me honey
I gave you all my money
tell me tell me tell me tell me
what more can I do
didn't I gave tou all my money
now tell me what more can I do
I'll relaize you're a good little girl
but it seems that you won't be true
seems like I got to tell you
baby, bye bye
bye bye baby
listen to me
I know you gonna miss me
this time you gonna be the one to cry
