Lyrics
Gee, but it's hard to love someone
When that someone don't love you
I'm so disgusted, heartbroken too
I've got those downhearted blues
Once I was crazy 'bout a man
He mistreated me all the time
The next man I get has got to promise me
To be mine, all mine
Trouble, trouble
I've had it all my days
Trouble, trouble
I've had it all my days
It seems like trouble
Going to follow me to my grave
I ain't never loved but
Three mens in my life
I ain't never loved
But three men in my life
My father, my brother
The man that wrecked my life
It may be a week
It may be a month or two
It may be a week
It may be a month or two
But the day you quit me, honey
It's comin' home to you
I got the world in a jug
The stopper's in my hand
I got the world in a jug
The stopper's in my hand
I'm gonna hold it until you
Meet some of my demands
Writer(s): Lovie Austin, Alberta Hunter
