Waitin' In Your Welfare Line

I got the hungries for your love

And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, I ain't got nothin'

But the shirt on my back

And an old two button suit

I walked outta my job

About a week ago

And now I'm sleepin' in a

Telephone booth

But I'm a-gonna be

The richest guy around

The day you say you're mine

I got the hungries for your love

And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, when I first saw you babe

You nearly made me wreck

My ol' '49 Cadillac

I knew at a glance

That it was you for me

I had to have your love by heck

I'm gonna follow you baby

Wherever you go

I got nothin' to lose

But my time

I got the hungries for your love

And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Well, you made me

The top dog on your hill

And I was overjoyed

But it didn't take long

'Til the thrill was gone

I joined the ranks of

The unemployed

Now, I'm right back where

That I started from

But that ain't gonna

Change my mind

I got the hungries for your love

And I'm waitin' in your welfare line

Yeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line

(Gimme a handout)

I'm waitin' in your welfare line
