Nobody Loves Me But My Mother (Live At San Quentin Prison, CA/1990)

You left me

for another man, baby

Tell me what did he

do for you?

Yes, you ran away

with another man,

baby

I want to know what

did he do for you?

Because now

all of your money's

gone, baby

And he ain't got no more,

no more use for you

When I was your fool,

baby

Hey, I worked for you,

both night and day

Yes, I was your fool,

baby

Yes, I worked for you,

both night and day

Oh, you know I had

to be a fool,

baby

Oh, to let you treat me

this way

I got your letter

this morning, baby

And I read every word

you had to say

Yes, you know

I got your letter

early this morning, baby

And I read every word

you had to say

Oh, but if you loved to me

like the say you do, baby

Then why in the world

did you go away?

You never said

you was doin' alright

But then it read,

"Please,

let me come back home"

Yes, you never said

you were doin' okay, baby

But then it read,

"Please let me come

back home"

So here is my answer

to your letter baby

I've been doing alright

since you've been gone

So you love me

or leave me, baby

Baby, either one

you wanna do

Oh, I said,

"Love me, love me,

love me or leave me

Baby, either one

you wanna do"

Because you see

strange things happening,

baby

And something

good happened to you

If you know you

don't want me

Baby,

why won't you let me be?

Oh, if you know,

if you know,

if you know

you don't want me

Baby,

why won't you let me be?

Because you,

it's better to live

without you, baby

Than to live on in misery

Oh, midnight find me cryin'

Daylight catch me cryin' too

Yes, I said,

"Midnight, midnight,

midnight find cryin'

Daylight catch me cryin' too"

You better straighten

your mind, pretty baby

'Cause something

could happened to you

Nobody loves me

but my mother

And she could be jivin' too

Yes, nobody,

nobody

loves me but my mother

And she could be jivin' too

Now you know

why I act so funny with you,

baby

When you do the things

you do
