Chorus: Hey little darlin’ I’ve been callin’ but you don’t seem to hear
I’ve been waitin’ I’ve been hesitatin’ but I have waited my share
I’ve been hot and I’ve been cold, been carrying a heavy load
Trying to lift myself above this old life
If I’m here or if I’m there, I can tell that you don’t care
‘Cause you’ve got a heart like a bucket full of ice

Chorus:
Well the old folks back home, they wonder why I roam
And chase the crooked and cold hearted men like you
They tried to teach me well but you have cast some kind of spell
And I am bound to fall until my days are through
And I tell myself no, but you know in the end I’ll always go
Back down to the bar to look for you
Then I’m right back where I started, all alone and broken hearted
Hey, what’s a girl like me supposed to do?
Then you ask me how I’ve been
I said I came out on top but you could hardly call it winnin’
With that hard look in your eyes
Well I know now it ain’t no disguise
Ain’t no disguise

Chorus:
