Hey lover, I'm so lonely You ain't touched me for days Hey lover, I'm so weary 'Cause you won't be happy no matter what I say Because I brought you kisses, all of my finest All the best that I had to give But you threw them aside 'cause you wanted better And it makes me wonder if I've got what you want me to give Hey mother, I need you to tell me whatever should I do To keep my lover here beside me, oh I need you to guide me oh, what should I do? Because I've begged and, I got on my knees It made me feel like some kind of fool But I'll do whatever he wants me Whatever he needs me to do ♪ Hey father, don't go crazy 'Cause I'm not the baby you think I am Put your gun down, 'cause you don't need it You got to believe me if you think that you can No, he don't mean to take me for granted He just needs to understand Maybe he can find another lady But I'll be damned if I can find myself another man Hey lover, I'm so tired 'Cause I've been workin' to please you Hey lover, what's your goddamn problem That keeps you up cryin' this whole night through? Is the life that I try to give you Is it less than you could give yourself Do I, do I mean less than your last lover? Well, maybe you should just go back to them Oh, no lover Oh No lover I didn't mean it, no Oh-ooh, oh-ooh
