Sweet mama, did
you ever hear of depression?
Well, that's what you did to my heart,
I'm telling you.
What a trial life has been.
Why did I ever trust in you?
Don't you think that it's a sin
for you
to treat me like you do?
Like a ship lost at sea,
had no one guiding me,
out of all the folks I've seen,
I had to fall in love with you.
Oh, while I'm all alone,
so heart sick and weary,
trying my best to be bright
and cheery,
You're havin' your fun,
draggin' my heart around.
You keep doin' things
I try not to notice,
But everyone sees,
they know who the goat is.
There's no other one,
draggin' my heart around.
Most of the time,
you treat me
just like any old stranger,
but I won't give you up.
I'll just be like the dog in the manger.
I know I'm a fool,
but how can you blame me?
So deep in love
that nothing can shame me,
so keep up your fun,
draggin' my heart around.
Listen, baby, can't them trills
bring you back to me?
You know I want you.
Oh, baby, listen to my pleadin' on the
iris.
Oh, baby, don't continue drag
ging my poor heart,
my little poor heart around.
You wouldn't do it now, I
you, you shouldn't do it.
Oh, most of the time,
you treat me
just like any old stranger,
but I won't give you up.
I'll just be like a little dog with a bone,
sotting over,
sotting over in the manger.
Oh, I know I'm a fool,
but how can you blame me?
I'm so deep in love
that nothing can shame me.
Oh, so keep up your fun,
dragging my poor heart around,
dragging my poor heart around.
Oh, just keep up your fun,
dragging my poor heart around,
around to the ground.
