In the days of my youth
I was told what it means to be a man
A' now I've reached that age
I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try
I find my way to the same old jam
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man
But I still don't seem to care
Sixteen I fell in love
With a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days
Til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine
An' love me till the end
But when I whispered in her ear
I lost another friend, ohhh
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man
But I still don't seem to care
(Guitar Solo)
Good times, bad times
You know I've had my share
When my woman left home
For a brown eyed man
But I still don't seem to care
I know what it means to be alone
I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say
I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
. . .

Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
You hurt and abused tellin' all of your lies
Run around sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard, bringin' home my hard-earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away
Don't know where you're goin', only know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again
(Guitar Solo)
Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will

Lyin', cheatin', hurtin', that's all you seem to do
Messin' around every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same, playin' your game
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you woman
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do want you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart
You've been bad to me woman
But it's coming back home to you
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come, mama, mama baby
Your time is gonna come, now now, now now
Your time is gonna come, really is now
Your time is gonna come, oh oh oh oh
Your time is gonna come, mama, mama baby
Your time is gonna come, I gotta get away from you baby

Hey girl, stop what you're doin'
Hey girl, you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is that I like about you
But I like it a lot
Won't let me hold you
Let me feel your lovin' charms
Communication breakdown
It's always the same
Having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane
Hey girl, I got something I think you ought to know
Hey babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah
I never gonna let you go
Cause I like your charms
Communication breakdown
It's always the same
Having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane
Oh suck!
(Guitar Solo)
Communication breakdown
It's always the same
Having a nervous breakdown
Drive me insane
Communication breakdown, I want you to love me all night
Communication breakdown, I want you to love me, whoa, ah, a-whoa, oh
Communication breakdown, I want you to love me, I want you to love
Communication breakdown
Communication breakdown

Ohhhhh-ooh-awww-awww-awww, I can't quit you baby
So I'm gonna put you down for awhile
I said I can't quit you, babe
I guess I gotta put you down for awhile
Said you messed up my happy home
Made me mistreat my only child
Yes, you did, babe, ohhh
Said you know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide
Oh, you know I love you, baby
My love for you I could never hide
Oh, when I feel you near me, little girl
I know you are my one desire, ohhhhhh, ohhhh ohhhh
(Guitar Solo)
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby
You know it hurts me deep down inside
Ohh, when you hear me moaning and groaning, baby
You know it hurts me deep down inside
Oh, when you hear me, honey baby
You know you're my one desire

How many more times
Treat me the way you wanna do
How many more times
Treat me the way you wanna do
When I give you all my love
Please, please be true
I'll give you all I've got to give
Rings, pearls, and all
I'll give you all I've got to give
Rings, pearls, and all
I've got to get you together baby
I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl
Oh, wanna love some other man too
(Guitar Solo)
I was a young man, I couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it all over, just what I had missed
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then
Whoops, oh Lord, well I did it again
Now I've got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way that makes eleven
But I'm in constant heaven
I know it's alright in my mind
'Cause I got a little schoolgirl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give
Oh Rosie, oh girl
Oh Rosie, oh girl
Steal away now, steal away
Steal away baby, steal away
Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play
Why don't you come to me baby
Steal away, alright, alright
Well they call me the hunter, that's my name
They call me the hunter, that's how I got my fame
Ain't no need to hide, ain't no need to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my gun
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long, alright
How many more times
Barrelhouse all night long
But, I've got to get to you, baby
Bu' oh oooh, oh oooh, oh oooh, please come home
Why don't you listen to me babe
Why don't you please come home
Why don't you please come home
Why don't you please come home
