Sometimes you love me like a good woman oughta. Sometimes you hurt me so bad, my tears run like water. Sometimes you get me out, yeah, right before your friends now.
Last night and the night before. Twenty-five robbers at my door. I got up and let 'em in. But I missed 'em all with a rollin' pin. . Alright they took everything I own.
A church house gin house. A school house outhouse. On highway number nineteen. The people keep the city clean. They call it Nutbush, oh Nutbush. They call it Nutbush city limits.
I remember long time ago. You outside of your show. Tell me to come back. You said that I was on your jet. . So then that's why all I know. Someday you will come around talking your charm.

Something told me that it was over baby yeah. When I saw you. When I saw you and that girl. And y'all was talking. . Something deep down. Something deep down in my soul said.
If I ever leave you. You can say I told you so. If I ever hurt you baby. You know I hurt myself as well. . Is that any way for a man to carry on. You think he wants.
One of us has to say he's sorry yeah. Or we will never be friends again. Let's have a drink and talk it over. I wanna keep you for my date. . We're here today and gone tomorrow oh.
Hush now, don't explain. There ain't nothin' to gain. I'm glad that your back. Don't' explain. . Quiet baby, don't explain. There is nothing to gain..
Strike a match and set me on fire. Watch it burn and flames getting higher. You light me up, sweet old desire. So won't you come close to my fire?. . Baby, it's cold when you're gone.
Ain't no way for me to love you. If you won't let me. Ain't no way for me to give you all you need. If you won't let me give all of me. . I know that a woman's duty.

Sometimes when he comes home I'm cookin' breakfast. I haven't slept a wink all night long. I've been layin' in bed thinkin' like a woman. Wonderin' if my man's been doin' me wrong.
Today's gonna be my lucky day we're gonna let the good times roll. Today's the day he's coming home to stay we're gonna let the good times roll. Gonna meet my baby at a quarter to ten gonna let the good times roll.
When you've loved someone so long say as long as I've loved you. What you feel is more than words could ever say. Things that really matter to us both seem to bring us closer every day.
I awoke today and found the frost perched on the town. It hovered in a frozen sky then and gobbled summer down. When the sun turns traitor cold and all the trees are shivering in a naked row.
