Why shouldn't I take a chance mama, when good luck comes along Why shouldn't I take a chance mama, when good luck comes along Seems like everybody's down on me, always somebody's doing me wrong Says I can't live for loving, but I just can't help myself Says I can't live for loving, but I just can't help myself Now the little woman I'm loving quit me, well I sure don't want nobody else Oh Mr Charlie, why don't you leave my gal alone Oh Mr Charlie, why don't you leave my gal alone
