Strange things have happened like never before
My baby told me, I would have to goI can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrongFeel bad this morning, ain't got no home
No use in worrying, 'cause the world gone wrongI can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrongI told you, baby, right to your head
If I didn't leave you I would have to kill you deadI can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, 'cause the world gone wrongI tried to be loving and treat you kind
But it seems like you're never right, you got no loyal mindI can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, 'cause the world's gone wrongIf you have a woman and she don't treat you kind
Praise the good Lord, to get her out of your mindI can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrongSaid, when you've been good now, can't do no more
Just tell her kindly, "There is the front door"I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world's gone wrongPack up my suitcase, give me my hat
No use to ask me, baby, I'll never be backI can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong
