I feel bad, I feel terrible, I'm just as sad as I can be 
I feel bad, I feel terrible, I'm just as sad as I can be 
I let a boy that's twelve years old, take my baby away from me 
He used to hang around my grill, until late into the night 
He used to hang around my grill, until late into the night 
Well I never dreamed that my baby and that boy could be so tight 
Well if a young boy hangs around you, you better do what I should have did 
Well if a young boy hangs around you, you better do what I should have did 
Well you send him over to your neighbors and hope your neighbors like kids
