Ain´t no good life
Not the one that I lead
´Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve
Well I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so
Well just because I don´t pray
Lord, that don´t mean I ain´t forgiven
Just ´cause I´m alive
That don´t mean I´m makin´ a livin´

I´m gonna get myself together
I´m gonna try a dyin´ attempt
Talkin´ about the good times slippin´ by
Yeah I tell ya
I don´t even know where last month went
Well I can´t make no money baby
Well ´cause my money´s already spent
And I know where it went
I said it went on that damn rent
Well I don´t mean change, baby
I mean foldin´ money
Well I want lovin´, said I don´t need a buddy
I don´t need nobody, now

Ain´t exactly my idea
Its sort of old, borrowed and blue
Just tryin´ to say
Don´t try that straight life buddy
Oh you´ll find it kind of hard on you
Women, don´t try to cook nothin´ up, ooh
Brother you know you´ll only wind up in your own stew
Just don´t let nobody tell you, oh what you oughta do
