Im having trouble with my baby
Seems like hes always out of town
And the more I go looking for the man
The less he comes around
I dont know why he treats me so
But I love him even though
He sure is a no good, mean old
Lowdown lover man
Well baby, I feel your pain
'Cause Ive been there every now and again
But there comes a time in your life
When youve got no one else to blame
'Cause youre digging yourself a hole
And theres no sense in taking that role
When youve got a no good, mean old
Lowdown lover man
Oh child, love just works that way
How can I sit there and watch him as he walks away?
Youve got to let go, I know, just be strong
For how long? Just try
Im gonna let go off my baby
Because he never gives me the time of day
Sometimes youve got to be alone for a while
Until a better thing comes your way
So just smile at the simple things
And forget about your trials
With that no good, mean old
Lowdown lover man
