Well I shouldn't feel so messed up, oh lord
I ain't got no butter
I'm so far from home
Miss a blind baby that's right
I gotta get back anyway I can
Get back home
Back on to get it
Back to baby
Get on and do it, do what?
Shing a ling come on
Desperate
I don't know if I'm coming or going
I'm going out of my mind
And you now it ain't right
Yeah!
You know it ain't right
Desperate
All night crying
Pillow's soaking wet
I'm going cold on the wall
I gotta get back home
I gotta get with my baby somehow
Well I said I feel messed up babe
Can hear you callin'?
And you know it ain't right
Yeow!
Ooh!
