Serve me right to suffer
Serve me right to be alone
Hey, to be alone

Lawd, serve me right to suffer
Oh! Serve me right to be alone
Hey, to be alone

You know I'm still livin' with a memory
Of the days that's passed and gone
The days that's passed and gone

Every time I see a woman
Hey, hey, it make me think of mine
Yeah

Oh, every time I see a woman
Oh, It make me think of mine
Make me think of mine

But the way she treat me
Lord, I just can't keep from cryin'
Oh, can't keep from cryin'
Oh yeah

Oh
Serve me right to suffer
Oh
Serve me right to be alone
Oh yeah

When I get home in the evenin'
Hey, hey, my woman would be gone
Yes she would be gone

Oh, when I get home in the evenin'
Hm, my old lady would be gone
Oh! she would be gone

When I get up in the mornin'
Her lights would just be comin' home
Just be comin' home

Oh yea
Look out now
Yea
Yea

Oh, serve me right to suffer
Hey, hey, serve me right to be alone
Serve me right to be alone

Hm, serve me right to suffer
Oh, serve me right to be alone, uh
Yes to be alone

'Cause I'm still livin' with a memory
Of the days that's passed and gone
The days that's passed and gone
