Lyrics
Ain't no use baby
I'm leaving the scene
Ain't no use baby
You're too doggone mean
Yes I'm tired of paying dues
Having the blues
Hitting bad news
Ain't no use baby
Ain't no use baby
I'm leaving town
Ain't no use daddy
I'm putting you down
I'm gonna change my name
Things won't be the same
'Cause I'm tired of playing your game
Ain't no use baby
I tell you it ain't no use
I tried all these years
Lord knows I've tried
Yes and I cried deep down inside
But daddy, why complain?
It's all over and you're to blame yeah, yeah
Ain't no use baby
Shed them tears
Ain't no use baby
I cried for years, for too many years
You done had your fun
It's all over and done
Now I gotta run
You done had your fun
Ain't no use
Ain't no use
Ain't no use, daddy
Ain't no use
