VS: Idle hours, idle hours
Yes, I'm sinkin', sinkin', sinkin' down below
I can't get no peace of mind, no matter where I go
Everything 's gone wrong, and my head 's goin' 'round an' 'round
Everything 's gone wrong, and my head 's goin' 'round an' 'round
LJ: I had nothin' but bad luck, baby, ever since you hit this town
You said you love me, do anything I say
Baby, you said that you love me, do anything I say
VS: But, you see I'm deaf, dumb, and blind, an' you tryin' to put me in my grave
LJ: You no good to me in your grave, you blind an' you say you cannot see
You no good to me in your grave, an' you blind an' ya say you cannot see
But if you mess up with my money baby, I'm gonna put you where you ought to be
LJ: I'll give you my money, wash and scrub your floors
Open a clothes account, so you can buy some pretty clothes
VS: You can keep your money, I'll keep my dirty floors
Keep on wearin' my secondhand clothes
Because I'm tired, tired as I can be
Yeah, you an' your friend, ain't got no trade for me
LJ: Say you deaf and dumb, and your mind is weak
You say you deft and dumb, you say your mind is weak
But if you mess up with my money baby, yes, I'm goin' make you plainly speak
