Main ain't I lonesome, cooped on a Friday night
Ain't at no party, Mojo just don't feel right
My buddies they buzz me, said they 'gon get me high
But each time the phone rings, I just hold my head and start to cry
You see I been singing a pretty-pie soulful tune
An angel she kissed me and moved into this here room
We'd throw on some records and dance till the morning light
Then last week she left me, when we got into a silly fight
I gave her lovin' but it wasn't enough, couldn't keep my baby
I got here flyin' but the weather was rough, couldn't keep my baby
I set her groovin' but the rhythm got cuffed, couldn't keep my baby
May I should-a got a diamond ring, a horse-drawn carriage
And a pony that sings
Well now I'm-a-tryin', to crawl on my window-sill
A cry from the pavement, "Just who are you tryin' to kill!"
Her sweet voice it stopped me, her touch set my heart alight
And here we are dancing, in the church where she's
Been made my bride
She gave me lovin' and it sobered me good, gotta keep my lady
She set me flyin round-a my neighbourhood, gotta keep my lady
She set me groovin' how Sammy he could, gotta keep my lady
Now I got my girl a diamond ring
A house with cubs who don't do nothing but sing
