Well, I don't know why I love you like I do
Nobody in the world can get along with you
You got the ways of a devil sleeping in a lion's den
I come home last night, you wouldn't even let me in

Well, sometimes you're as sweet as anybody want to be
When you get a crazy notion jumpin' all over me
Well, you give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
An' you give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die

I helped you when you had no shoes on your feet, pretty mama
I helped you when you had no food to eat
You're the kind of woman I just don't understand
You're takin' all my money and give it to another man

Well, you're the kinda woman makes a man lose his brains
You're the kinda woman drives a man insane
You give me the blues, I guess you're satisfied
You give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
Well, you give me the blues, I wanna lay down and die
