Lonnie Johnson - Idle Hours lyrics

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
