Well, I work hard everyday 
Come home straight with my pay 
My baby either drink it up 
Or she threw it all away 
I'm gonna quit my baby 
If she don't stop cheatin' and lyin' 
Well, I would rather be alone 
Than to be worried out of my mind 
Well, I give her all of my money 
I think I'm being kind 
She buy a quart of bad whiskey 
And the rest is beer and wine 
Well, a few nights ago 
I had to work kind-a late 
Somebody broke out of my house 
Just like he was Superman's mate 
Well, four o'clock in the morning, when I staggered in the block 
The little 
moonshine 
joint and the rest just begin to rock 
I sneaked inside to get a better view 
I caught my baby doin' the mambo too
