Hand to mouth, I've been livin' from hand to mouth Days are gettin' longer, Nights are gettin' colder Since you've been gone Hand to mouth, I've been livin' from hand to mouth Don't you worry, honey, don't you worry Somehow I get along Movin' is my little game, I never felt the taste of fame Been on the road since I was just a child Workin' here, then I'm gone, Never in one place too long It's enough to drive a poor man wild
I've been livin' from hand to mouth, I've been livin' from hand to mouth Don't you worry, honey, don't you worry Somehow I get along I'm sorry for the times you've cried They were the times I've laughed and lied I really didn't know how much I cared And now I wish to spend more time To keep your love and ease your mind There's nothing quite the same When it's not shared
