Now look-a-here, darlin′
You′re the only one I love
Now you know how I feel like, baby
In my heart the star above

Oh-oh, baby how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Now darlin′, please don't mistreat me

Now you know you′s a good little girl
Do anything I say
I wouldn't mistreat you
Not in nary single day


Oh-oh, baby how can it be?
You′s all I got to live for
Baby, please don't mistreat me

Now when I was down, baby
Didn't have a single dime
You′d taken me, baby
Wouldn′t pay other men no mind

Oh-oh, baby how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Darlin′, please don't mistreat me

′Yas yas'

(Piano & guitar)

′Go get another half-a-pint'
'And a cool can a-beer′

Now you know I love you, baby
Will love you ′till I die
Give you anything, baby
That your heart desires

Oh-oh, babe how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Darlin′, please don't mistreat me


Now you know I love you, baby
I don′t see the reason why
Ev'rytime I see you lookin′ at another man
I wants to cry

Oh-oh, babe how can it be?
You's all I got to live for
Darlin', please don′t mistreat me.
