Lyrics
I got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfareline
Well I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back and an old two button suit
I walked out on my job about a week ago now I'm sleeping in a telephone booth
But I'm gonna be the richest guy around the day you say you're mine
I got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line
When I first met you baby you nearly made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance it was you for me I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you babe where ever you go I got nothing to lose but my time
I got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line
You made me the top dog on your hill and I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long til the thrill was gone I joined the ranks of the unemployed
Yeah I'm right back where I started from but that ain't gonna change my mind
I got the hungries for your love and I'm waiting in your welfare line
