 23524>Yeah, they came to take me away
 
 
 
 Said, "I'd be sittin' here for the rest of my life"
 
 
 
 But I don't really care, I shot my wife
 
 
 
 And brother, I can't even remember the reason why
 
 
 
 Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Well I ain't had no love, since I don't know when
 
 
 
 Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 We was down in Jacksonville, a cold winter night
 
 
 
 My baby and I, we began to fight
 
 
 
 I heated up and I grabbed my gun
 
 
 
 Ooh, I get so cold on those nights down south
 
 
 
 She was layin' in a pool right there on the kitchen floor
 
 
 
 She looked up at me and began to smile
 
 
 
 Her gaspin' words, "Baby, I love you"
 
 
 
 Then she closed those baby blue eyes
 
 
 
 Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Aah, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Well I ain't had no love, since I don't know when
 
 
 
 Oh It sure makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 It makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Yeah, it makes a feel so bad
 
 
 
 Sometimes I hear you call my name
 
 
 
 In the dead of the night, yeah
 
 
 
 Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Hmm yeah
 
 
 
 Feel bad, bad
 
 
 
 I ain't had those arms around me
 
 
 
 I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me
 
 
 
 It sure makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 So bad
 
 
 
 It sure makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 So bad
 
 
 
 It sure makes a long time man feel bad
 
 
 
 Yeah, so bad
