You put me down so easy,
baby what did I do to you?
Baby blues, you put me down so easy
Little girl, what did I do to you?
Well, you're just trying to destroy me
By do ing the things that you do
Poor old me, thought I'd work for you
just like a slave
Poor old me,
thought I loved you like a slave
And you have the nerve to tell me
Maybe I'd feel better some
other place
I even called you on the phone
And you was cold as coal could be
I called you on the phone, baby
And you was cold as coal could be
Lord, I didn't even know
you had the heart
Lord, to do the things you said to me
Little girl, I used to fix your meals
Lord, and I let
you spend my gold
Baby, I used to fix all your meals
And I even let you spend my gold
Walk through the rain and the snow too
Now could any world,
anybody have the nerve
to try to destroy my soul
Baby, I care for you
But you don't even pay that no mind
Whoa, baby, I care for you
But you don't pay
that no mind
And I believe if you saw my poor
little children hungry
You'd be laughing instead of crying
Just trying to destroy me, that's all
Woo!
