A-when you got a headache A-headache powder soothe the pain When you try to rest Lord, you feel alright again When you got a backache A little rubbin' will see you through But when you got a heartache There ain't nothin' you can do A man can't break a stone So he tries another lick An iceman can't cut his ice, no Lord So he buys another pick Electric lights go out But a candle light will see you through But when you got a heartache There ain't nothing you can do There ain't nothing you can do I said there ain't nothing you can do When you got a heartache
There ain't nothing you can do A-when you a meet a friend You smile because you glad When a friend deceive you It makes you feel so bad When you lose your love one It makes you feel so blue And then you've got a heartache And there ain't nothing you can do Well, there ain't nothing you can do I said, there ain't nothing you can do Lordy! Ev'ry time I think about it I said, ev'rytime I get a li'l lonely, sometime There ain't nothin' you can do, baby, no Lord There ain't nothin' you can do Sometimes I get so lonely
