When You Ain't Got Nobody

Tom Waits · The Early Years: Volume 1 [1991]

Well, when you ain't got nobody, anybody looks nice

Don't take much to make you stop and look twice



And it's either feast or famine, I've found out that it's true

And I'm hungry as a bull dog, baby, how about you?



And when you ain't got no big mama, all the mamas look hot

And when lovin' is your weakness, you're just bound to get caught



And the story never changes, history tells it so plain

And I'll be your Dick, honey, if you'll just be my Jane



And when you ain't got nobody, anybody looks nice

It don't take much to make you stop and look twice



And it's either feast or famine, I've found out that it's true

And I'm hungry as a bull dog, baby, how about you?



Baby, how about you?

How about you?
