You know I got to find me People, I got to find me, a part time love Oh, I need, I need me a part time love Every time, every time my baby leaves me You know I need a part time love The people in the cemetery, they're not all alone Some turn to dust and some have bone You know I'd rather be dead, six feet in the grave Than to live lonely, each and everyday I need me I need me a part time love Every time my woman leaves me You know I need a part time love She came home this morning I asked her where she'd been She said, "Don't ask me no questions, baby 'Cause I'll be leaving again" I've got to find me Don't you see, I've got to find me A part time love, my baby leaves me I need a part time love, yes, I do Oh every time my woman leaves me Have to suffer the whole time, she's gone I got to say it again when she leaves me I suffer every time, she's gone When she leaves me I just got to have me a part time love Is there somebody out there? Oh I need, I need me a part time love Can't say it too much I need, oh, I need
