Lyrics
Well I?ve been working every night and day
Trying to keep my baby?s love on track.
But nothing ever really seems to come my way
I can?t keep that woman off my back.
You see she don?t like this, so I try and do that
But then you know somehow that just won?t do.
It don?t matter what I say she?s gonna change her mind
Well I swear sometime it just ain?t true.
Now every single man has got his last straw
For breaking that camel?s back.
And if I don?t drop dead from all the fuss and fights
I just might have me a heart attack.
I gotta watch what I say and everything I do
But nothing seems to turn out right.
And now my patience?s all gone and I can?t go on
I gotta tell that woman here tonight.
CHORUS
Well all right, you win
I?m gonna take it on the chin.
But when I walk out the door
I just may not come back.
Now baby you just got to try to understand
I ought to pack up my things and walk.
Cause if I?m making all the money just to pay your way
Then I sure don?t need me no back talk.
I ain?t askin? for a lot - just some peace of mind
And a little lovin? now and then.
So baby squeeze me tight and treat me right.
And don?t you start with that lip again
CHORUS
I try to please you night and day
Every word I say is true.
You know I give you every thing that you could want
And now I wonder just what can a poor man do.
CHORUS
Well all right, you win
I?m gonna take it on the chin.
But before it?s all over I got to say,
Well all right, you won
Go ahead and have your fun
But when the night is over at the break of dawn
You?ll look for me but I?ll be gone.
Cause when I walk out the door
I just may not come back
