Said ? "b. you must clean up and go"
Well my baby woke up this mornin'
Said ? "b. you must clean up and go"
"'cos the way that you been doin'"
"can't take those treatments no more"
If you ever lay down at night and wake up cold and (???)
Your baby's gone and left you, she had another man
Why i'm gonna move to the deep blue sea
Well i'm tired of beign all alone and livin' in misery
Well, when i woke up this mornin'
She was sittin' down before the glass
And when i start to talk
All she would do was laugh
I'm gonna change my ways, i'm gonna move to the deep blue sea
Well i'm tired of beign all alone and livin' in misery
