John Lee Hooker Poor Me Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Poor me, poor me
What is wrong with me?
Poor me, poor me
What is wrong with me?
Treat me so mean, try to drive me outta my mind
Wall took me no fool
Need to wash my dirty clothes

[Verse 2]
Wall took me no fool, I need to wash my dirty clothes
I said: "Poor me, poor me"
What in the world am I gonna do?
Some day, some day, baby
You're gonna need me again
Some day, somewhere, someplace
You're gonna need poor me again

[Chorus]
You're gonna come runnin' back to me You're gonna need me again

[Verse 3]
I work seven days a week for ya, baby
I bring my paycheck home to you
You know, you know I work seven days a week for ya, baby
I bring my paycheck home to you
I would have a day of rest, baby
You're still treating me mean
Sooner or later, baby
You're gonna need me again

[Outro]
I say, I say sooner or later, baby
You're gonna need me again
You're gonna come runnin' back to me
