Say, if you don't want me, woman, why in the world don't you let me be?
Now if you don't want me, woman, why in the world don't you let me be?
'Cause there's a-plenty more women that really cares for poor me
Said, if I can't carry you, woman, I can't carry nobodys else
Say, if I can't carry you, woman, I can't carry nobodys else
If I have to go, woman, I'm goin' on by myself
Spoken: Play it, Mr. Josh
Said, now if you don't want me, why in the world don't you let me 'lone?
Lord, if you don't want me, why in the world don't you let me 'lone?
And you says that you love me, baby, but you do me wrong
When you was in trouble, I the one who paid your fine
When you was in trouble, I's the one who paid your fine
Said, now since you been free again, baby, you just won't pay me no mind
Tell me what you going to do
Tell me what you going to do
Says, I would go and leave you, woman, don't love no one but you
