My baby told me few nights ago
She said, "I'ma leave you, Bobby Rush
Because I don't love you no more"
It hurt me so bad, so bad, so bad
When she said to me what she said
Well, she might as well shot me in the head with a pistol
'Cause what she said killed me just as dead
Now, here's another thing she told me
As she was packing her clothes to leave
"You ain't got enough of nothing
To keep me halfway pleased"
It hurt me so bad, so bad
When she said to me what she said
Well, she might as well just shot me in the head with her pistol
'Cause what she said killed me just as dead
Now, here's another thing she told me
She said, "I've been long wanting to say
That child been wearing your name
You ain't the daddy, no way"
You know it hurt me so bad, so bad, so bad
When she said to me what she said
Well, she might as well shot me in the head with her pistol
'Cause what she said killed me just as dead
And here's another thing she told me
As she was leaving me that afternoon
She said, "If I see you fifty years from now
It'll be forty-nine years too soon"
It hurt me so bad, so bad, so bad
When she said to me what she said
Well, I might as well been shot in the head with a pistol
'Cause what she said killed me just as dead
Hurt me so bad
Hurt me so bad when she said what she said
You know it hurt me so bad, so bad, so bad
When she said to me what she said
You know I might as well been shot in the head with a pistol
'Cause what she said killed me just as dead
