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 in the news and it gave me the blues
You know it ain't right, people are fighting everywhere I look
People uptight and everywhere
And I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah
Ain't no lie, yeah, ain't it too bad, mama?
Too bad you're gonna cry
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it

Too bad baby, Too bad I'm going to 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 going to cry
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're going to cry
Too bad you're going to cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha
Ah, ah, yeah, that's why I'm shiftin' on
Back to where I belong, going to leave you to cry
