Well no one told me about her the way she lied
Well no one told me about her how many people cried
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Well no one told me about her, what could I do
Well no one told me about her, though they all knew
But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

But it's too late to say you're sorry
How would I know, why should I care
Please don't bother tryin' to find her
She's not there

Well let me tell you 'bout the way she looked
The way she'd act and the colour of her hair
Her voice was soft and cool
Her eyes were clear and bright
But she's not there

Its summertime, and living is easy.
The fish are jumping and the cotton is high.
Your daddy's rich and your momma's good looking.
Won't you hush pretty baby, don't you cry.

One of these mornings, you're gonna wake up singing.
Than you're gonna spread you're wings, and take to the sky

But 'till that morning, ain't nothing, nothing gonna harm you
With your mommy and daddy, they're standin' by

Its summertime, and living is easy.
The fish are jumping and the cotton is high.
Your daddy's rich and your momma's good looking.
Won't you hush pretty baby, don't you cry.

If you wanna mess around, just stay away from my door
I've got a leak in my bucket & a great big hole in my floor
But if you wanna stay around & love me
You know it's all right with me

I've got no money, can't afford no big black car
My bank account won't see me very far
But if you wanna stay around & love me
You know it's all right with me

I'm sick & tired of bein' on my own
But you know, I'll take nobody who's gonna leave me tired & alone

[Instrumental]

So you see, I can only offer a man that's poor
With frost & that & trouble at my door
But if you wanna stay around & love me
You know it's all right with me

Ooo ooo ooo ooo, ooo ooo ooo ooo

Sometimes I feel a little a little lonely
Well, don't you know that sometimes (I feel a little lonely)
And don't you know that sometimes (I cry at night)
But I just have to hold you (I just have to hold you)
And I know it's all right (I know it's all right)

(x2):
When I'm so happy when I'm with you
When I touch you, all my feelin's can't describe
All the love I feel for you
But I just wake up in the mornin'
And I wonder if this love is real
I've been hurt so many times before
But now I know, I know this love is real
Then sometimes I wonder (I feel a little lonely)
I really do (I cry at night)
But I just have to hold you (I just have to hold you)
And I know it's you (I know it's you)

Woman
When I walked with you last night
My mind
Saw that you'd soon hold me tight

I can't concede, no
I can't believe you love me too

You don't
Realize what you can do
I just sympathize but still it's true

I can't concede, no
I can't believe you love me too

Woman
When I walked with you last night
My mind
Saw that you'd soon hold me tight

I can't concede, no
I can't believe you love me too

No, no, no

I want you to understand my mind
Seems that girls that do are hard to find

I can't concede, no
I can't believe you love me too

And if she should tell you "come closer"
And if she tempts you with her charms

Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

And if she should tell you "I love you"
And if she tempts you with her charms

Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
(don't take her love for your arms)
No no no no no
Don't hurt me now for her love belongs to me

I know she's the kind of girl
Who'd throw my love away
But I still love her so
Don't hurt me now, don't hurt me now

If she tells you "I love you"
Just remember she said that to me

Tell her no no no no no-no-no-no
No no no no no-no-no-no
(don't take her love from my arms)
No no no no no
Don't leave me now for her love belongs to me

If you can't find better things to do
Than tell me stories about her that you think are true
I don't wanna hear anything about her that's bad
I don't wanna hear anything that makes me sad
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know; you'd better turn around & go
I don't want to know

I don't wanna listen; I'm not gonna hear you
I believe what I want, no matter what you do
(x3:)
I don't care, don't want another word of anything you say
I don't wanna hear anything; you just keep away
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know (I don't want to know)
I don't want to know; you'd better turn around & go
I don't want to know

Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you baby
Cause they don't know how
To love you like I do

Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now
Cause they don't know how
To love you like I do

I'm going to love you in the morning
Love you late at night
I ain't going to stop loving you
Till you tell me everything's alright

Can't nobody love you
Like I'm loving you right now
Cause they don't know how
To love you like I do

Can't nobody kiss you
(Can't nobody kiss you)
Like I'm kissing you right now little girl
Cause they don't know how to kiss you
Like I do
(Can't nobody love you)
And ain't nobody that can talk to you
Like I'm talking to you right now
Cause they don't know how to talk to you
Like I do

Listen now
Sam bought you cake and ice cream
Called you cherry pie
Ray Charles called you his sunshine
But you're the apple
Apple of my eye, oh

Can't nobody love you
(Can't nobody love you)
Like I'm loving you right now
Cause they don't know how to love you
Like I do
No they don't know how
To love you
Like I do

What more can I do
You know I'd gladly
Lose myself to you
But something always
Holds me back
I wish I knew
What it is that stops me
From loving you
The way it should be
Oh, oh , oh, oh

What more can I do
I'm trying hard
I know I could believe in you
But something always keeps a hold on me
And just won't let me go
Such a burning bully
Inside while I'm trying to hide that
I want you to own me, own me, own, own
Oh yeah

What more can I say
I've said it all now
Got such a love loose
A price to pay

If you ignore me
What more can I do
(What more can I do)
Oh
What more can I do
(Oooh)
Oh
What more can I do

Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do

I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm going down to Louisiana to get me a mojo hand
I'm gonna have all you women right here at my command

Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
Got my mojo working, but it just won't work on you
I wanna love you so bad till I don't know what to do

I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got a gypsy woman givin' me advice
I got some red hot tips I got to keep on ice

Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working
Got my mojo working

But it - uh uh - just won't work on you
