I've really been the best of fools  
I did what I could, yeah 
'Cause I love you, baby  
How I love you, darling  
How I love you, baby  
My beloved little girl, little girl
But baby, since I've been loving you, yeah  
I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh yeah

Everybody trying to tell me 
That you didn't mean me no good
I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you
Let me tell you I really did the best I could

Oh, my tears they fell like rain

Don't you hear, don't you hear them falling 

Do you remember, mama, when I knocked upon your door? 
I said you had the nerve to tell me 
You didn't want me no more, yeah 
I open my front door, hear my back door slam
You know, you must have one of them new fangled
New fangled back door man

I've been working from seven, seven, seven to eleven every night
It kinda makes my life a drag, a drag, drag 
Ah, yeah, it makes a drag
Baby, since I've been loving you
I'm about to lose
I'm about to lose, lose my worried mind 
Just one more, just one more, oh yeah
Since I've been loving you, I'm about to lose my worried mind
