You tell lies thinking I can’t see,
You can’t cry ‘cos you’re laughing at me,
I’m down (I’m really down),
I’m down (down on the ground),
I’m down (I’m really down).
How can you laugh,
When you know I’m down? (How can you laugh?).
Man buys ring woman throws it away,
Same old thing happens ev’ry day,
I’m down (I’m really down),
I’m down (down on the ground),
I’m down (I’m really down).
How can you laugh,
When you know I’m down? (How can you laugh?).
We’re all alone and there’s nobody else,
You still moan ‘Keep your hands to yourself’,
I’m down (I’m really down),
I’m down (down on the ground),
I’m down (I’m really down).
How can you laugh,
When you know I’m down? (How can you laugh?).
Oh yeah.

If you wear red tonight,
Remember what I said tonight,
For red is the color my baby wore,
And what’s more, it’s true,
Yes it is.

Scarlet were the clothes she wore,
Ev’rybody knows I’m sure,
I would remember all the things we planned,
Understand it’s true,
Yes, it’s true,
Yes it is.

I could be happy with you by my side,
If I could forget her,
But it’s my pride,
Yes it is, yes it is.

Please don’t wear red tonight,
This is what I said tonight,
For red is the color that will make me blue,
In spite of you it’s true,
Yes it is, it’s true,
Yes it is.

I could be happy with you by my side,
If I could forget her,
But it’s my pride,
Yes it is, yes it is.

Please don’t wear red tonight,
This is what I said tonight,
For red is the color that will make me blue,
In spite of you it’s true,
Yes it is, it’s true.

A bad little kid moved into my neighborhood
He won’t do nothing right just sitting down and looks so good
He don’t want to go to school and learn to read and write
Just sits around the house and plays the rock and roll music all night

Well, he put some tacks on teachers chair
Puts some gum in little girl’s hair
Hey, junior, behave yourself
Buys every rock and roll book on the magazine stand
Every dime that he get is lost to the jukebox man

Well he worries his teacher till at night she’s ready to poop
From rocking and a-rolling spinning in a hula hoop
Well this rock and roll has got to stop
Junior’s head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself

Going tell your mama you better do what she said
Get to the barber shop and get that hair cut off your head
Threw the canary and you fed it to the neighbors cat
You gave the cocker spaniel a bath in mother’s laundramat

Well, mama’s head has got to stop
Junior’s head is hard as rock
Now, junior, behave yourself

My love don’t give me no presents.
I know that she’s no peasant,
Only ever has to give me love forever and forever,
My love don’t give me presents,
Turn me on when I get lonely,
People tell me that she’s only foolin’,
I know she isn’t.
She don’t give the boys the eye,
She hates to see me cry,
She is happy just to hear me say that I will never leave her.
She don’t give the boys the eye,
She will never make me jealous,
Gives me all her time as well as lovin’,
Don’t ask me why.
She’s a woman who understands.
She’s a woman who loves her man.

Baby’s good to me, you know,
She’s happy as can be, you know,
She said so.
I’m in love with her and I feel fine.
Baby says she’s mine you know,
She tells me all the time you know,
She said so.
I’m in love with her and I feel fine.
I’m so glad that she’s my little girl,
She’s so glad she’s telling all the world,
That her baby buys her things you know,
He buys her diamond rings you know,
She said so.
She’s in love with me and I feel fine.

I said I’m sitting here watching
matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I’m sitting here wondering
matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain’t got no matches
but I sure got a long way to go
I’m an old poor boy
I’m a long way from home
I’m an old poor boy
and I’m a long way from home
I’ve never been happy
cause everything I ever did was wrong
Well, if you don’t want my peaches
honey please don’t shake my tree
If you don’t want any of those peaches
honey, please don’t mess around my tree
I’ve got news for you baby
Leave me here in misery, all right!
Well let me be your little dog
till your big dog comes
Let me be your little dog
till your big dog comes
And when your big dog gets here
watch how your puppy dog runs
Well I said I’m sitting here watching
matchbox hole in my clothes
I said I’m sitting here wondering
matchbox hole in my clothes
I ain’t got no matches
but I sure got a long way to go
