Things are rough on me lately
And I don't know how much longer I can go on
Things are rough on me lately
And I don't know how much longer I can go on
You know things just ain't right baby
And I just don't feel like goin' on
I got no change in my pocket
And no money for groceries
I got no change in my pocket
And no money for groceries
I got to find a way baby
To help me in these miseries
Things just ain't right baby
And nothin' makes sense no more
Things just ain't right baby
And nothin' makes sense no more
I want you to please, please tell me
Just how long can a man be poor?
My rent is overdue
And I ain't got a job no more
My rent is overdue
And I ain't got a job no more
I want you to please, please tell me baby
How long can a man be poor?
