The Things That I Used To Do

The things that I used to do

Lord, I ain't gon' do that no more

The things that I used to do

Lord, I ain't gon' do that no more

I used to sit and hold your hand, baby

Beggin', "Please don't go"

I used to search you all night for you, baby

But you couldn't be found

I used to search you all night for you, baby

Lord, but you couldn't be found

Well, you and your man

Were hooded out on the outskirts of town

I'm gon' send you back to your mama

And I'm goin' back to my pappy too

I'm gon' send you back to your mama

And I'm goin' back to my pappy too

Well, there's nothin' in the world

I can do, to get along with you

Well, I cried last night

And I cried the night before

Yes, I cried last night

And I cried the night before

I'm gon' change my way of livin'

So I won't have to cry no more

The things that I used to do

Lord, I ain't gon' do that no more

The things that I used to do

Lord, I ain't gon' do that no more

Well, I cried so much

'Til my doggone eyes are sore

Gon' send you back to your mother

Goin' back to my pappy too

Gon' send you back to your mother

And I'm goin' back to my pappy too

'Cause I tried everything

Just to get along with you

I tried, I tried

Yeah, yeah
