I?m having trouble with my baby

Seems like he?s always out of town

And the more I go looking for the man

The less he comes around

I don?t know why he treats me so

But I love him even though

He sure is a no good, mean old

Lowdown lover man

Well baby, I feel your pain

'Cause I?ve been there every now and again

But there comes a time in your life

When you?ve got no one else to blame

'Cause you?re digging yourself a hole

And there?s no sense in taking that role

When you?ve got a no good, mean old

Lowdown lover man

Oh child, love just works that way

How can I sit there and watch him as he walks away?

You?ve got to let go, I know, just be strong

For how long? Just try

I?m gonna let go off my baby

Because he never gives me the time of day

Sometimes you?ve got to be alone for a while

Until a better thing comes your way

So just smile at the simple things

And forget about your trials

With that no good, mean old

Lowdown lover man
