I woke up this mo'nin
Feelin' bad
Thinkin' about the good times
I once have had
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Man, just sho' as you born
Now, there ain't but one thing
Grievin' my mind
All of these womens
An ain't none of 'em mine
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Lord, I just can't help it
Man, just sho' as you born
(sax & instrumental)
Yas, yas
I hittin' my woman
With a single tree
You might-a heard her holl'in
'Daddy, don't murder me'
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born
Now, my mama told me
Papa told me, too
'These girls you lovin'
Gon' be the death of you'
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born
(piano & instrumental)
'Let's help it now, boy'
'Yas, yas'
I went home last night
Fell down 'cross my bed
I was in such a fix
Ev'rybody thought I was dead
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Lord, I just couldn't help it
Man, just as sho' as you born.
