ROOMFUL OF BLUES
"We Can't Make It"
(Joe Josea / Riley King)

Oh, we can't make it, baby
We can't last another year
Oh, e can't make it, baby
We can't last another year
I tried to be kind to you, woman
Oh, it seems to me like I got the wrong idea

Oh, I give you all my money
So you can buy those real fine clothes
Oh, I give you all my money
So you can buy those real fine clothes
I bought you a house to live in
Oh, and now you wanna put me outdoors

Oh, when I first met you, baby
You were crawlin' out in the street
Yeah, when I first met you baby
Someone threw you right out in the street
I put those clothes on your back, woman
Oh, I put them shoes on your feet

Yeah, it seems right to me baby
Since you got your feet back down on the ground
Yeah, it seems right to me baby
Since you got your big feet back down on the ground
You're a real big-time woman now
You don't want poor around
