B.B. King Nobody Loves Me But My Mother song lyrics
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
