I?m having trouble with my baby   Seems like he?s always out of town   And the more I go looking for the man   The less he comes around      I don?t know why he treats me so   But I love him even though   He sure is a no good, mean old   Lowdown lover man      Well baby, I feel your pain   'Cause I?ve been there every now and again   But there comes a time in your life   When you?ve got no one else to blame      'Cause you?re digging yourself a hole   And there?s no sense in taking that role   When you?ve got a no good, mean old   Lowdown lover man      Oh child, love just works that way   How can I sit there and watch him as he walks away?   You?ve got to let go, I know, just be strong   For how long? Just try      I?m gonna let go off my baby   Because he never gives me the time of day   Sometimes you?ve got to be alone for a while   Until a better thing comes your way      So just smile at the simple things   And forget about your trials   With that no good, mean old   Lowdown lover man
