Aint 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 dont pray
Lord, that dont mean I aint forgiven
Just cause Im alive
That dont mean Im makin a livin

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

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