Sweet mama,
did you ever hear of depression?
Well, that's what you did to my heart,
I'm telling you.
What a trial life has been.
Why did I ever trust in you?
Don't you think that it's a sin for
you to treat me like you do?
Like a ship lost at sea, had no one guiding me,
out of all the folks I've seen, I had to fall in love with you.
Oh, while I'm all alone, so heart sick and weary,
try ing my best to be bright and cheery,
You're having your fun,
dragging my heart around.
You keep doing things I try not to notice.
But everyone sees,
they know who the goat is.
There's no other one dragging
my heart around.
Most of the time, you treat me just like any old stranger,
but I won't give you up.
I'll just be like the dog in the manger.
I know I'm a fool,
but how can you blame me?
So deep in love that nothing
can shame me.
So keep up your fun,
dragging my heart around.
Listen, baby, can't them
trills bring you back to me?
You know I want you.
Oh, baby, listen to my pleading on the
iris.
Oh, baby, don't continue dragging my poor heart,
my little poor heart, around.
You wouldn't do it,
now I'm telling you, you shouldn't do it.
Oh, most of the time, you treat me just like any old stranger,
but I won't give you up.
I'll just be like a little dog with a bone,
sorting over, sorting over in the manger.
Oh, I know I'm a fool,
but how can you blame me?
I'm so deep in love that
nothing can shame me.
Oh, so keep up your fun,
draggin' my poor heart around,
draggin' my poor heart around.
Oh, just keep up your fun,
draggin' my poor heart around,
around to the ground.
