Lyrics
Yeah, baby
Woah-oh
One single dye won't shine my shoe
That's what they said to I now on Broadway
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, this is what they said to I
How can I go on without money in my pocket?
How can I go on when I'm treated now so mean?
Each and every day now my poor heart is sore
The reason why is because I'm so poor
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, that's what they said to I (Yeah, baby)
Lord have mercy now (Woah-oh)
Each and every day now my poor heart is sore
The reason why is because I'm so poor
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, this is what they said to I
How can I go on without money in my pocket?
How can I go on when I'm treated now so mean?
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, that's what they said to I
Because I'm so poor, oh baby
Lord have mercy now (Oh-oh)
