I wonder why, why my baby wont treat me right
I wonder why, why my baby wont treat me right
She go off every day and she wont come home till night

Ill be home well, last week thats what she said
Ill be home well, last week thats what she said
She dont care if I dont eat
cos she dont know how the rent is paid

Shes a gamblin woman, she chases men in between
Shes a gamblin girl, she chases men in between
She mistreats me and she cheats me
Meanest woman I ever seen

The kids in bed, I lay awake till broad daylight
The kids in bed, I lay awake till broad daylight
Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight
