Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heart-broken too, I've got those downhearted blues
Once I was crazy 'bout a man, he mistreated me all the time
The next man I get has got to promise me to be mine, all mine
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
It seems like trouble going to follow me to my grave
I ain't never loved but three mens in my life
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
My father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
But the day you quit me, honey, it's comin' home to you
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I'm gonna hold it until you meet some of my demands
