about

You do me wrong long enough and I'm gone singin' "sayonara! so long!"

lyrics

if i was insensitive
would it make you love me all the more
would you crave my company
if i went a walkin out the door
tenderness seems poisonous
to you in a peculiar way
you know i wouldn't quit you momma
but i think i'm wearing out my stay

i tried being kind to you momma
but it blew up in my face
i know i got a mean streak momma
but i keep her in her place

be good to me and i'll be
good right back
if you want me
keep me momma
its as simple as that
you do me wrong
long enough and i'm gone
singing adios and so long
and i'll be singing
somebody else a song

when i hold you in my arms
i give the sweetest kind of love i can
and i listen to your every ambition
all your dreams and your schemes and your plans
but it's something deep in you
that you think i have a mind to take
well you can keep all that shit to your self
but you'll never get to eat your cake

i know that I'm a convict momma
but i done gone did my time
i'm tryn'a be a good man momma
but you won't forgive me crime

be good to me and i'll be
good right back
if you want me
keep me momma
its as simple as that
you do me wrong
long enough and i'm gone
singing sianara so long!
and you'll be stringing
somebody else a song

you know that i'm nuts for you momma
but i think i gotta let you go
i know that i'm a strange one momma
my heart is a good one though
