Howlin' Wolf - The Wolf Is At Your Door - Howlin' For My Baby lyrics

Walkin' past the kids comin' back from the party Smiles on their faces you remember so well how it was Nights in the back of that Buick you got runnin' Your baby by your side told the whole world you're comin' Work so hard to do what is right Believed in what you're doin' but so many fights Trusted too many, believed too much Workin' your life to the bone There's a wolf at your door He wants your money, wants your soul A wolf at your door You give it all, he wants more There's a wolf at your door He says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck Boy, it's sure hard to sleep With a wolf at your door They'll take it away when you're not lookin' Look you in the eyes tell you how good they're doin' Smiles on their faces are lies to keep you from knowin' You're not guilty you are the victim But you still pay for the crime Don't look for trouble, it'll always find you in time You work so hard to do what is right Believed in what you're doin' but so many fights Trusted too many, believed too much Workin' your life to the bone There's a wolf at your door He says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck Boy, it's sure hard to sleep With a wolf at your door I won't be broken, I'll fight 'til I drop Blood runnin' hot in my veins But they won't be satisfied Until they take everything You work so hard to do what is right Believed in what you're doin' but so many fights Trusted too many, believed too much Workin' your life to the bone There's a wolf at your door He wants your money, wants your soul A wolf at your door You give it all, he wants more A wolf at your door He says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck Boy, it's sure hard to sleep With a wolf at your door He wants your money, wants your soul A wolf at your door You give it all, he wants more A wolf at your door He says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck Boy, it's sure hard to sleep With a wolf at your door There's a wolf at your door He wants your money, wants your soul A wolf at your door You give it all, he wants more There's a wolf at your door He says he's playin' for keeps Breathin' down your neck Boy, it's sure hard to sleep Wolf at your door He wants your money, wants your soul Wolf at your door Walkin' past the kids comin' back from the party Smiles on their faces you remember so well how it was
