Never kept a dollar past sunset Always burned a hole in pants Never made a school marm happy Never got a second chance, oh no I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy, baby Baby won’t you keep me, baby Baby, won’t you keep me Always took candy from strangers Didn’t wanna get me no trade Never want to be like my father Working for the boss, night and day I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy, baby Baby, baby keep me happy Never got a flash out of cocktails When I got some flesh off the bone Never got a lift out of lear jets When I can fly way back home I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby, baby Baby
