We-ell, I can't quit you baby, but I got to put you down a little while
 We-ell you done made me mess up my happy home, made me mistreat my only child

 Ah, when you hear me moanin' and groanin', whoa you know it hurts me way down inside
 Whoa when you hear me moanin' and groanin', you know it hurts way down inside
 Oh when you hear me howlin', ooh you know my love will never die, alright

 Well when you see me cryin', don't let my tears fall in vain
 Well when you see me cryin, darlin', please don't let my tears fall in vain
 Lord, I don't know what to do, you know my heart is filled with pain

 Whoa, when you hear me howlin', baby, you know it hurts way down inside
