One More Time

Purple tangles with his wife, he just struggles through his life But he can't get a little independence Say your sister's got a babe, and her man has gone away She cries like the Dickens night 'til morn' Got no bread to pay the landlord Got a song that I can sing to clear my head with One more time before your trouble And you say, "To hell with it", and keep repeating One more time for his wife, one more time for his life One more time for all his independence One more time for the rent, one more time for the man One more time for sister and her baby One more time is all you need to say To get you right One more time, just a little bit, one more time, just a little bit One more time, just a little bit, one more time, just a little bit One more time, just a little bit, one more time, just a little bit One more time, just a little bit, one more time, just a little bit Say your brother's got a Jones, and he looks like skin and bones He says he can kick it when he wants to Or your mama's on her feet, and she's eatin' at the street Your friends get the giggles when she pass Got no pride to face the world with 'Cause my head is on my chest, I'm looking downward One more time, and then the problem Got to straighten out my brain from going crazy One more time for his Jones, one more time for his bones One more time for kicking when he wants to One more time for a foot, one more time for the street One more time for all the laughing faces One more time for his wife, one more time for his life One more time for all his independence One more time for the rent, one more time for the man One more time for sister and her baby One more time for his wife, one more time for his life One more time for all his independence One more time for the rent, one more time for the man...
