Ain't this a pity, people ain't this a cryin' shame I'm gonna retire on the delta, layin' out there in the Fallin' rain Well you know it's nine below zero, she put me down for Another man Gave her all of my money, all of my love and everything I gave her

You know that's not the way that it's supposed to be Oh no, no no no no I never want to see you crying over me Treating your love like I don't response Time in deed, caught up on me Trapped in your tears Please set me free I plea Making you feel like

Don't you hear me crying Tell me that you're trying Or is our love a lie Love is blind You came along and captured me Now I'm a prisoner of your eyes Trapped in time I cannot leave you I'm just a prisoner of your eyes

All we need is little action If it's only but a fraction (What I say) People to see, even me Man with a little got more of a plea He's cryin', I don't know Time at last, laws to pass Can't be a few got to be a mass A-tryin' got to go

Better than he can I know I can treat you better Than he can And any girl like you deserves a gentleman Tell me why are we wasting time On all your wasted cryin' When you should be with me instead 'Cause I know I can treat you better I won't lie to you

To my sweet home Chicago Back to the land of California Oh, baby don't you want to go? Baby don't you want to go? Now one and one is two Two and two is four I'm heavy loaded, baby I'm booked, I gotta go Cryin' baby

Feel alright now Lord, I thank you Feel them spirit I'm not boastin' No more cryin' Good Lord, hear me Feel like toastin' Good Lord, help me Lord I thank you

It's alright, I know it's right. For you, there'll be no more crying. For you, the sun will be shining. And I feel that when I'm with you, To you, I'll give the world. To you, I'll never be cold. 'Cause I feel that when I'm with you, And the songbirds

I know you don't care too much But I still care (La la la la la la la la la la la la) I still care (La la la la la la la la la la la la) Well, I care But you don't care I told you how you hurt me, baby Now I'm crying and deserted, baby Ain't nobody tell

Better than he can I know I can treat you better Than he can And any girl like you deserves a gentleman Tell me why are we wasting time On all your wasted cryin' When you should be with me instead 'Cause I know I can treat you better I won't lie to you
