Intro
Well I work, work, work, What have I got to show
The only thing you give me baby is a hard way to go
I'm throwing up my hands and I'm gonna holler, what's the use?
Cause I know I ought'a but I ain'ta no I ain't gonna cut you loose.
But I'm full, full, full now baby right up to my neck
The only time you're nice to me honey is when I'm cashin my check
I'm throwing up my hands and I'm gonna holler, what's the use?
Cause I know I ought'a but I ain'ta no I ain't gonna cut you loose.

Guitar solo
Suppose I cut you loose, I know I wouldn't shake this curse
I'd find another man and he'd be just as bad or worse
That's why I'm throwing up my hands and I'm gonna holler, what's the use?
Cause I know I ought'a but I ain'ta no I ain't gonna cut you loose.
I ain't gonna cut you loose.
I just can't let you go.
I know you're bad for me baby
But I love you anyway
I don't wanna cut you loose.
I ain't gonna cut you loose.
I don't wanna cut you loose.
Ah, no, no, no.
