Friday left me fumblin' with the blues
  And it's hard to win when you always lose
  Because the nightspots spend your spirit
  Beat your head against the wall
  Two dead ends and you've still got to choose
      You know the bartenders
  They all know my name
  And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
  And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
  When I should be living clean instead
      You know the ladies I've been seeing off and on
  Well they spend your love and then they're gone
  You can't be lovin' someone who is savage and cruel
  Take your love and then they leave on out of town
  No they do
      Well now fallin' in love is such a breeze
  But its standin' up that's so hard for me
  I wanna squeeze you but I'm scared to death I'd break your back
  You know your perfume
  Well it won't let me be
      You know the bartenders all know my name
  And they catch me when I'm pulling up lame
  And I'm a pool-shooting-shimmy-shyster shaking my head
  When I should be living clean instead
      Come on baby
  Let your love light shine
  Gotta bury me inside of your fire
  Because your eyes are 'nough to blind me
  You're like a-looking at the sun
  You gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
  Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
  Gotta whisper tell me I'm the one
  Come on and whisper tell me I'm the one
