Did you ever fall in love with a man that was no good?
Did you ever fall in love with a man that was no good?
No matter what you did for him
He never understood

The meanest thing he could say would thrill you through and through
The meanest thing he could say would thrill you through and through
And there wasn't nothin' too dirty
For that man to do

He'd treat you nice and kind till he win your heart and hand
He'd treat you nice and kind till he win your heart and hand
Then he git so cruel
That man, you just could not stand

Lord, I really don't think no man's love can last
Lord, I don't think no man's love can last
They'll love you to death
Then treat you like a thing of the past

There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood
There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood
Eighteen of them are fools
And the one ain't no doggone good

Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord, Lord
Lord, Lord Lord Lord
That dirty no-good man treats me just like I'm a dog
