If you be my baby
Tell you what I'll do
I'll give you so much lovin'
You gotta love me too
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
I'm gonna keep you satisfied, yeah

Now listen to me baby
Just what I'm talkin' 'bout
You got something woman
Make a dumb man scream and shout
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
I'm gonna keep you satisfied, yeah

Lookin' for a woman
Never done no wrong
Cook my meals in the daytime
And love me all night long
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
Said, if you be my baby
Well, I'm gonna keep you satisfied, ah

If you be my baby
I tell you what I'll do
I'll give you so much loving
You gotta love me too
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
If you be my baby
I'm gonna keep you satisfied, yeah

I got a long grey mare
She won't let me ride
I got a long grey mare
She won't let me ride
She makes me brush her in the morning
Put her to bed every night, yeah

Long grey mare
Why can't we be just like before?
Long grey mare
Why can't we be just like before?
We used to ride so hard
Oh, till we couldn't take no more, yeah

Long grey mare
Don't I feed you every day?
Long grey mare
Well, don't I feed you every day?
And when I dig you with my spur
You turn around the other way

When I first met you baby
I didn't even know your name
When I first met you baby
I didn't even know your name
Oh, I was feelin' low on the ground
Bad luck and evil women were to blame

I never realized
How sweet and kind one woman can be
I never realized, people
How sweet and kind a woman can be
Oh, but when I looked in your eyes
I knew true love had come to me
Yeah

Take my hand
Hold it tight and don't let go
Take my hand, take my hand
Hold it tight and don't let go
'Cause our love is like a merry-go-round
Forever and ever round it goes

My baby's gone and left me cryin' by myself
My baby's gone and left me cryin' by myself
I loved another woman, now I lost my best gal

She was a real good woman
Never done me no harm
Was a real good woman
Never done me no harm
I loved another woman
Now she's up and she's gone

Well, come back baby
I won't do you no wrong
Come back baby
I won't do you no wrong
I loved another woman
And I won't do that no more

Wow-wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow-wow-wow
Wow-wow-wow-wow ...

Need someone's hand
To lead me through the night
Need someone's arms
To hold and squeeze me tight
'Cause when the night begins
I'm at an end
Because I need your love so bad

Need some lips
To feel next to mine
Need someone to stand up
And tell me when I'm lyin'
When the lights are low
And it's time to go
That's when I need your love so bad

Why don't you give it up
Bring it on home to me,
Or write it on a piece of paper, darlin'
So it can be read to me
Tell me that you love me
And stop driving me mad
Beacause I
I need your love so bad

Need your soft voice
Talk to me at night
Don't want you to worry baby
'Cause I know we can make everything allright
Listen to my plea baby
Bring it home to me
Because I need your love so bad

Don't want no evil woman
Make a fool out of me
My girl she's so sweet
She's my honey bee

She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way

Wake up in the morning
Get my breakfast in my bed
My girl she's so good
Love her till I'm dead

She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way

Don't want no other woman
I could never be satisfied
My girl looks so good
Standing by my side

She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way about me
She feels the same way

[Instrumental]

I ain't never missed a woman
Anytime or anyhow
Said I ain't never missed a woman
Anytime or anyhow
I said, I ain't never missed nobody
Just like the way I miss my baby now

If you could see my woman
You'd know why no one else can take her place
If you could see my woman, people
You'd realize why no one else can take her place
You'd know just what I'm talking 'bout
If you could see my baby's sweet, sweet face

That's why I ain't never missed a woman
Anytime or any place
No, I ain't never ever missed a woman
Anytime or any place
When I say I ain't never missed nobody
I mean I ain't never missed nobody
Like I miss my baby now, yeah

Tell me anybody
Do you really give a damn for me?
I said, tell me anybody
Do you really give a damn for me?
'Cause I just got to tell you
'Bout a thing that's botherin' me

I was a ramblin' pony
I would roll, I would roll
I would roll from town to town
I was a ramblin' pony
People, I would roll from town to town
Yes, just looking for a sweet woman
And makin' all my love come on down
Yeah

If I needed anybody
Baby, I would take ya home with me
If I need anybody
Baby, I would take ya
Baby, I would take ya
Baby, I would take ya home with me
But I don't need anybody
Don't need anybody but him and me

And you're sittin' there so green
Believe me, man, I'm just the same as you, yeah
Said you're sittin' there so green
Believe me, man, I'm just the same as you
Do you want me to make a last cry or be satisfied?
That's exactly what I mean to do

Will you love me tomorrow
Like you say you love me now?
Will you love me tomorrow
Like you say you love me now?
When the flames of our flesh have stopped burning
And the fire of our love has gone out

Too many times I've given too much
Now give me your love in return
Too many times I've given too much
Now give me your love in return
Give me your mind and your heart
But please don't leave me with a love that burns

Please don't use me as your fool
'Cause my heart can't stand another lie
Oh, don't use me as your fool
'Cause my heart just can't stand another lie
And if you can't love me tomorrow
Please leave me alone in my room to cry

Oh, I got a feelin'
Blues gonna be my only way
Oh, I got a feelin'
Blues gonna be my only way
'Cause when you're lookin' for somebody
Lookin' for somebody

Tell me woman
How do you see a man like me?
Tell me woman
How do you see a man like me?
You look so nice
You feel so warm

Oh, I got a feelin'
Blues gonna be my only way
'Cause I got a feelin', people
Blues gonna be my only way
'Cause when you're lookin' for somebody
Lookin' for somebody
