Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken, too
I've got those down-hearted blues
[Verse 2]
Once I was crazy 'bout a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get has got to promise me to be mine, all mine
[Verse 3]
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble, I've had it all my days
It seems that trouble's going to follow me to my grave
[Verse 4]
I ain't never loved but three mens in my life
I ain't never loved but three men in my life
My father, my brother, the man that wrecked my life
[Verse 5]
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
It may be a week, it may be a month or two
But the day you quit me honey, it's coming home to you
[Verse 6]
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I'm going to hold it until you come under my command
