You's a mean mistreating mama : and you don't mean me no good
But I don't blame you baby : I'd be the same way if I could
You say you going to leave me : well you say you going away
But that's all right baby : baby you'll come back home some day
Now you's a mean mistreater : and you mistreat me all the time
But that's all right baby : I won't pay that no mind
Can't you remember baby : when I knocked upon your door
You had the nerve to tell me : that you didn't want me no more
Boys ain't it lonesome : sleeping all by yourself
When the woman that you loving : is loving someone else
