Girl until the day I met you my heart was  feelin’ down
I was  lookin’ for a lover who wouldn’t like any other
And thinkin’ she could never be found
I was searchin’ high and low, honey don’t you know You were all I was lookin’ for
Then you came along and my luck started changin’ I’m feelin’ like never before

(chorus)    
You were lonely, you were only in my dreams
Were so lonely, aw but now you got me livin’ so High on the hog, 
girl you got me feelin’ like I’m the top dog, like I’ve
died and gone to heaven
I’m on cloud nine, livin’ mighty fine
You’re all I ever wanted but thought I’d never find High on the hog, 
my feet ain’t even touchin’ the ground

Well, once I was a poor man never thought that love was ever gonna come my way
Yea, the bottom of the barrel was all I ever saw I was sinkin’ lower every day
Not a penny to my name, 
my life ain’t been the same since you came walkin’ through my door 
Now I’m here in high cotton, I’m
livin’ mighty large,
I’m grinnin’ like never before

(chorus twice)
                                     
My feet ain’t even touchin’ the ground  
Yea, my feet ain’t even touchin’ the ground
