Lyrics

Mister down child
Please take a fool's advice
Mister down child
Please take a fool's advice
Don't never let no one woman
Man, misuse you twice
Every time she smiles
Says she don't love no one but you
Every time she smiles
Says, she don't love no one but you
You better watch out, buddy boy
Little girl loves to drop a chunk on you
I tried so hard
To not even think about my past life
I tried so hard
Even think about my past life
Because I don't want to
Ever, ever make a mistake in life
Baby, I and you, we can be so happy
We can be so lovin' tonight from now on darling
Yeah, we can be so happy
Be so lovin' from now on, from now on
Because if I ever make a mistake in life
I know I'd ruin my happy home, whoa
Written by: Sonny Boy Williamson II
