Billie’s Blues Southside Johnny

I love my girl
I'm a liar if I say I don’t
I love my girl
I'm a liar if I say I don't
But I’ll quit my girl
I'm a liar if I say I won't

I've been your slave, baby
Ever since I've been your babe
Yes, woman, I've been your slave
Ever since I've been your babe
But before I'll be your dog
I’ll see you in your grave, believe it baby

My woman wouldn’t give me no breakfast
Wouldn't give me no dinner
She squawked about my supper then she threw me outdoors
Had the nerve to lay a matchbox on my clothes, lit em up now
I didn’t have so many
But I had a long, long way to go

I ain't good looking
And don't teeth don't shine like pearls
I ain’t good looking
And my teeth don't shine like pearls
But my pappy taught me something
Gonna to carry me through this world
