I Put My Trust On You

John Lee Hooker


I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you'd let me down 
I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe, you would let me down 
I've been too good to you baby, you hurt me with what you did 
My friend tried to tell me, you didn't mean me no good 
I didn't believe a word he said, I couldn't believe it, whoo 
I couldn't believe, you would let me down 
I done lost everything that I had baby, 
I can't believe you would let me down 
You goes downtown, to the judge 
You tell the judge, everything you got, give it to me 
You looked up at me 
Hit the road Jack, 
and don't come back no more 
I couldn't believe, you let me down, baby 
I'm leavin' now baby, done lost my home 
My brand new car baby 
I know, I know another man, 
gonna move in 
But I can't believe, treatin' me the way you did 
Now baby, look-a here baby 
How could you treat me the way you did baby 
I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you would let me down, 
good as I been to you baby 
I'm goin' now baby 
All I, all I got, all I got, is on my back 
I've gotta go now baby 
I better go now baby, baby 
I just couldn't believe, hmmmm 
Ooh, aah yeah, yeah, aye baby
