I'm in an awful way, ooh, I'm in an awful way
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
That's how I'm in the state I'm in
Another fella told me he had a sister who looked just fine
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
It's hard on a fella when he don't know his way around
Instead of bein' my deliverance
I got in town a month ago, I've seen a lot of girls since then
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way
Now how I wish I had someone to talk to
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
I'm in an awful way, ooh, I'm in an awful way
To help me spend my money
If I don't find me a honey
I'm gonna have to blow this town
To a cat named Frankenstein
I'm in an awful way
Oh, no another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
But as yet I haven't met 'em
Oh, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
He's in an awful way
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
I'm in an awful way
Ooh, la, another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody
Now, how I wish I had someone to talk to
She had a strange resemblance
I'm in an awful way
I've got some money 'cause I just got paid
If I could meet 'em I could get 'em
