She told me one time not long ago
She said to get out and stay out
And please don't ever speak to me no more
Now I've been waitin' like a blind man in the street
Well, I'm not blind baby, baby I just can't see

I said, honey, give me a chance to make it up to you
I know I ain't been treatin' you like I'm supposed to do
And, whoa, these lonely nights won't let me be
I don't mind the pain, honey, but I can't stand misery

I went down to a bar in my neighborhood
Began to get drunk and, man, I sure did good
Now, here comes a big old stick with a policeman
Well, don't hit me no more mister, I'm dyin' fast as I can

Don't hit me no more mister I'm dyin' fast as I can
