| I left my baby standing in the backdoor crying
|
| I left my baby standing in the backdoor crying
|
| She said «you got a home as long as I got mine»
|
| She said «you got a home as long as I got mine»
|
| And nobody walking, nobody talking
|
| Ever pay the price I owe her
|
| Ah, there ain’t nobody living, nobody giving
|
| Ever pay the price I owe her
|
| But sometimes you gotta turn your back
|
| Ah, sometimes you gotta turn your back
|
| Just to show that little girl
|
| That there is something she’s gonna lack
|
| Just to show that little girl
|
| There’s something more that you desire
|
| Nobody walking nobody talking
|
| Ever pay the price
|
| Nobody living, anybody giving
|
| Ever pay the price I owe her
|
| I don’t need it to rain
|
| I don’t need it to rain
|
| I don’t need it to rain
|
| Oh to rain
|
| Well I know you’ve been turning tricks honey
|
| Up and down the avenue
|
| And I’ve been trying to tease you
|
| Oh, just to see what you’d do
|
| I don’t need it to rain
|
| I don’t need it to rain
|
| No more
|
| When that storm comes raining down
|
| When that storm comes raining down
|
| There ain’t gonna be nobody, honey
|
| Oh to keep you warm
|
| Ain’t gonna be nobody mama here to keep you warm
|
| No more
|
| Ah there ain’t nobody walking nobody talking
|
| Ever pay the price not for you honey
|
| There ain’t nobody living nobody giving
|
| Ever pay the price I owe
|
| Not to rain not to rain not to rain
|
| Mama not to rain |
