I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right She's a mean mean woman and she don't come home at night She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between She's a mean mean woman Meanest woman I ever seen "I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said "I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said The way my baby treats me sometimes I wish that I was dead I get in my bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight I get in my bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight
