[Verse 1]
Did you ever
Feel like you lost the best friend you had
You wake up in the mornin' and you feel so bad
Thinkin' 'bout your brownie, and your heart's so sad
Just like a mourner, just like a mourner
In an amen corner, you'll begin to hum
Hurry up, sundown, Lord, and let tomorrow come
I wanna see my man so bad, my heart is beating like a drum
[Verse 2]
It's gettin' so I can't sleep for dreamin'
And I can't laugh for cryin'
I can't sleep for dreamin' and I can't laugh for cryin', cryin'
'Cause the man I love is forever on my mind
[Verse 3]
Why, he puts candy in my hand, candy in my hand
And he calls me his candy doll
He puts candy in my hand and he calls me his candy doll
Then he looks at me and cries "Mama, [?]"
[Verse 4]
But it's so hard to love, so hard to love
Anothеr woman's man
It's so hard to love another woman's man
'Cause you can't gеt him when you want him, you've got to take him when you can
[Verse 5]
Our love is like a faucet, love is like a faucet
It turns off and on
Our love is like a faucet that turns off and on
The very time you think you've got it, papa, it's turned off and gone
[Verse 6]
So life is nothin' but a jam, nothin' but a jam
A constant jamboree
Life is nothin' but a jam, a constant jamboree
It's jammed everybody, now it's 'bout to jam poor me
