John Lee Hooker — Poor Me

[Verse 1] Poor me, poor me What is wrong with me? Poor me, poor me What is wrong with me? Treat me so mean, try to drive me outta my mind Wall took me no fool Need to wash my dirty clothes [Verse 2] Wall took me no fool, I need to wash my dirty clothes I said: "Poor me, poor me" What in the world am I gonna do? Some day, some day, baby You're gonna need me again Some day, somewhere, someplace You're gonna need poor me again [Chorus] You're gonna come runnin' back to me You're gonna need me again [Verse 3] I work seven days a week for ya, baby I bring my paycheck home to you You know, you know I work seven days a week for ya, baby I bring my paycheck home to you I would have a day of rest, baby You're still treating me mean Sooner or later, baby You're gonna need me again [Outro] I say, I say sooner or later, baby You're gonna need me again You're gonna come runnin' back to me
