Ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh, ooh ooh

Hard times in the city

I get over, I get under

Don't it make you feel dizzy all the anger

I don't mean to be jealous

But my eyes have seen you with fellas

I find it hard to be part of the city

When it's so unjust

It makes me feel like I wanna die

That's why

I don't drink alone (I never drink alone)

I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough)

She calls me chicken bone (My midnight tone)

And then she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough)

Bricked up in the city

And the buildings are laughing

Pay check burning my pocket

Going to buy a gold chain and a locket

Makes me feel like I'm gonna lie

That's why

I don't drink alone (I never drink alone)

I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough)

She calls me chicken bone (My midnight tone)

And then she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough)

She sings when it's over

When it's over she sings

She doesn't worry as I walk out the door

Cos tomorrow I'll bring

Two small chocolates and a bottle of wine

A very nice time

All my pennies my farthings

For my mortgage that I'm under

At her place all the sorrows of the world

Can wait ‘til tomorrow

She makes me feel like it's all alright

That's why

I don't drink alone (I never drink alone)

I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough)

She calls me chicken bone (My midnight tone)

And then she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough)

I don't drink alone (I never drink alone)

I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough)

She calls me her chicken bone (My midnight tone)

And when she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough)

Like a stone (I just can't get enough)

Like a stone (I just can't get enough)

Like a stone
