Well, I wanna tell the story about a hard luck guy

Nobody seems to love me, I guess that's the reason why

Just dreams, dreams all night long and through the day
Yes, and it's so sad, oh, to break my heart this way

Yes, I'm not handsome or romantic, I don't have wavy hair

Won't you girls please have mercy

The way you treat me ain't fair

Why does bad luck follow me

I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right

I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right

She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night

"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said

"I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said

She don't care if I don't eat

'Cos she don't know how the rent is paid
