Well I remember when you Used to look so good And I did everything That I possibly could for you We used to ride around all over town But they're puttin' you down For bein' around with me But you can go ahead if you want to 'Cause I ain't got no papers on you In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber Just to pass till the fall it was you I want to ball all day Ah-we were walkin' along, honey Hand in hand I'm a-thinkin' of you, mama When you're thinkin' of another man But you can go ahead if you want to 'Cause I ain't got no papers on you (No, I don't I ain't got no papers on myself) All alone on the bone When I didn't have a home When I saw the way I was And I knew where I was supposed to be I was twitchin' so I turned And it's really hard to learn That everyone I saw Was just another part of me But you can go ahead if you want to 'Cause nobody's got no papers on you (No, babe, it's just a falsehood)
