Said I've been driftin' and driftin'
Like a ship out on the sea, yeah
Driftin' and driftin', baby
Just like a ship out on the sea
Lord, oh Lord, I ain't got nobody
In this great big old world to care for me
If my baby would only take me back again
She better stay away
Oh, would somebody tell, tell my woman
Tell her to take me back again
The people say I ain't good for nothing
But people, can't you see I don't even have a friend?
Well
I give you all of my money, baby
Preach, tell me what more can I do?
Go get some more
All of my, all of my, all of my, all of my hard-earned money
Get another job
Preach, tell me what more can I do, yeah?
Get some more
I'm sure you might be a good little girl sometime, baby
I'm standing here to tell you I know you'll never be true, well, yeah
The war is over
Going back down that sunny road
The war is over, baby
And I'm going back down that sunny road
You know I ain't getting nothing here in Los Angeles
But my room and board
When I was making good
Baby, you treated me like I was a king
That you are, darling
When I was making good
When I was making a lot of money, baby
A lot of money
Treated me like I, I was a king
I was a king
But now I ain't got no good job
And what?
And my love don't mean a thing
Now, go pay
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye
Ooh, I love my woman, love her
Bye-bye, baby, bye-bye
Ooh, I love her and I want her and I want her, oh
