People uptight and everywhere
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Too bad I'm gonna cry
Movin' on, oh yeah, now ain't it too bad baby
That's why I'm shiftin' on, back to where I belong
Lord I tell you no lie
Yeah, oh it's been a long
People uptight and everywhere
Finished fooling 'round with you
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from
Well I finished fooling 'round with you, pretty mama
Too bad you're going to cry, too bad you're gonna cry
Ain't it too bad mama, hey, too bad you're gonna cry
You know I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
Too bad you're gonna cry baby, mm, ain't no lie, ha
Ah, ah, yeah
Ain't no lie, ain't it too bad mama?
You know it ain't right, people are fighting every place I look
And I'm a shiftin' on, back to where I once came from, yeah
Too bad I'm gonna cry, wait
Well I heard it on the news and it gave me the blues
No more wasting my time baby, no more standing in line
