Shape I
Oh, you don't know, shape I'm in
Come back home, have to rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Shape I'm in
These days you know, one or the other
For the crime of havin' no dough
Anybody seen my baby?
Livin' alone sure drive me crazy
I'm goin' down to the river but I ain't gonna jump in
Oh, you don't know, shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
I'll be there lookin' for my maker
Here I am now back out on the street
Save your neck or save your brother
Shape I'm in
How in the world can I get to Heaven?
I just spent 16 days in the jail house
Out of nine lives, I spent seven
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Go out yonder, peace in the valley
'Cause they sayin' that's where she's been, lord knows
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
For the crime of havin' nowhere to go
