Lost my job, no chance of redemption Got no my cash, no motivation Lost my head in a brokedown Shirley Shack My lady got me, and she ain't coming back I'm so broke down, searching for a way And I'm still waiting for my baby to come back home Now I'm here with all these problems And only my girl could help me solve them She drives me out, with all that laughing All her friends say she still would have me I go back home, she won't stop complaining She won't cook no grub, won't do no painting Won't clean my house, won't make no sugar shoe She's looking at me, saying, "What's the matter with you?" I was so broke down, searching for a way Now I'm still waiting for my baby to leave me good
