I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right I wonder why, why my baby won't treat me right She go off every day and she won't come home 'till night "I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said "I'll be home" well, last week that's what she said She don't care if I don't eat 'Cos she don't know how the rent is paid She's a gamblin' woman, she chases men in between She's a gamblin' girl, she chases men in between She mistreats me and she cheats me Meanest woman I ever seen The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight The kid's in bed, I lay awake 'till broad daylight Every now and then I wonder will my baby be home tonight
