The other day a woman stopped me She said daddy let me talk to you She said now listen I ain’t beggin’ I’m just lonesome and I’m blue Once I had a good man But I didn’t know how to act By the time I learnt my lesson My good man wouldn’t take me back She cried that was too much for me That’s why I walked the back street and cried But it hurt me so bad, yeah Yeah, that the man I misused said goodbye
I said rap on baby
I sent a friend to talk for me And she say I did the best I could I lied like a dog for you I just couldn’t do you no good That’s why I hit the backstreet there Just as drunk as I could be The man I had misused He passed and didn’t look back at me I said it’s too much for me That’s why I walk the backstreet and cry Well, it hurt me so bad, it hurt me so bad To hear the man I misused say goodbye
Ah…
I had the galls to call him He said you lowdown as you could be And last time we had an argument You know called the police on me They raid me out of my house woman While you stood there on and grinned Now the police can’t help you little girl ‘Cause they can’t bring me in She said that was too much for me That’s why I walk on the backstreet and cry Oh, it hurt me so bad, it hurt me so bad To hear the man I misused say goodbye
