Friday left me fumblin' with the blues   And it's hard to win when you always lose   Because the nightspots spend your spirit   Beat your head against the wall   Two dead ends and you've still got to choose      You know the bartenders   They all know my name   And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame   And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head   When I should be living clean instead      You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on   Well they spend your love and then they're gone   You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel   Take your love and then they leave on out of town   No they do      Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze   But its standin' up that's so hard for me   I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back   You know your perfume   Well it won't let me be      You know the bartenders all know my name   And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame   And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head   When I should be living clean instead      Come on baby   Let your love light shine   Gotta bury me inside of your fire   Because your eyes are 'nough to blind me   You're like a-looking at the sun   You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one   Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one   Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one   Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
