My, my, my, my

Well I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama
Finished fooling 'round with you
No more wasting my time baby, no more standing in line

And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Yeah, oh it's been a long

You know I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere

And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah

Ain't no lie, ain't it too bad mama?
Too bad I'm gonna cry

Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it too bad baby
Too bad I'm gonna cry, wait

Well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
People uptight and everywhere

That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Lord I tell you no lie

Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too bad you're gonna cry
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're gonna cry
Too bad you're gonna cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha
Ah, ah, yeah

That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I belong
Gonna leave you to cry
