Cussin’ Cryin’ and Carryin’ On Ike & Tina Turner

My daddy told me a long time ago
Never take candy from a stranger
I should've thought about that when I met you
I should've run away from the danger
Oh, but like a child, I believed what you said
I let your lies run dreams through my head
I let you have what you wanted, and now you're gone
And you left me cussin' and a-cryin' and a-carryin' on
'Bout the way you hurt me
'Bout my bad mistakes
Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on
'Til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches

You moved right in and took me
Course, you knew I was impressed
All the time I thought you loved me, yes I did
Now I know I was just another contest
But I'm walking the floor, thinking about you now
Wondering how I'm gonna make it without you
I've been a poor, poor poor poor fool, to let you do me wrong
To let you leave me cussin' and a-cryin' and a-carryin' on
'Bout the way you hurt me
And 'bout my bad mistakes
Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on
'Til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches
