My goodtime friends have put me down |
|
I'm all alone in your town |
|
You know I don't have no place to go |
|
The woman |
|
I love she don't want me no more |
|
I'm just trying to explain |
|
I need a penny to call my baby |
|
You don't seem to understand |
|
I need a penny to call my baby |
|
You know she asked me to call her on the phone |
|
She got the nerve to tell me she all alone |
|
I'm just trying to explain |
|
I need a penny to call my baby |
|
I'm just trying to make you understand |
|
I need a penny to call my baby |
|
Now I don't have no peace of mind |
|
I'm just trying to seek what |
|
I can find |
|
I'm just trying to explain |
|
I need a penny to call my baby |
|
Now I want to tell you when |
|
I wake up in the morning |
|
And I find now baby |
|
I'm all by myself |
|
I feel so disatisfied |
|
When I go to work and |
|
I come home in the evening |
|
And there ain't nobody there |
|
I feel so disatisfied |
|
Oh give me a penny baby, give me a penny baby |
|
My wife, now my wife she left me |
|
Give me a penny |
|
Give me a penny |
