No Good, Mean Old, Lowdown Lover Man

I’m having trouble-
With my baby.
Seems like he’s always out of town,
And the more I go looking for that 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

Oooh, child, Love just works that way.
How can I sit there and watch him
As he walk away?
You’ve got to let go.
I know,
Just be strong.
For how long?
Just try –

I’m going to let go
Of 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.
