I can't be happy, mama
For bein' so blue
When ya keep on worryin'
The way you doWhen things go wrong
So wrong, wit' you
It hurts me, tooThat man you love, darlin'
He don't want you 'round
Why didn't ya make love with Tampa, darling
And let's jump the town?When things go wrong
So wrong, wit' you
It hurts me, tooThat man don't love ya, darling
Told Tampa, so
He said it was only jivin' you, darlin'
He said he was lovin' a gal next do'When things go wrong
So wrong, wit' you
It hurts me, too
Oh, but it doThat man'll keep on doggin' you
'Til he goin' make Tampa, mad
An then Tampa goin' get somethin' from him, darlin'
Yo' man didn't know he hadWhen things go wrong
So wrong, wit' you
Yeah, it hurts me, tooPlay it, boyWhen things go wrong
So wrong, wit' you
It hurts me, too
