Strange things have happened like never before
My baby told me, I would have to go
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong
Feel bad this morning, ain't got no home
No use in worrying, 'cause the world gone wrong
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong
I told you, baby, right to your head
If I didn't leave you I would have to kill you dead
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, 'cause the world gone wrong
I tried to be loving and treat you kind
But it seems like you're never right, you got no loyal mind
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, 'cause the world's gone wrong
If you have a woman and she don't treat you kind
Praise the good Lord, to get her out of your mind
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong
Said, when you've been good now, can't do no more
Just tell her kindly, "There is the front door"
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world's gone wrong
Pack up my suitcase, give me my hat
No use to ask me, baby, I'll never be back
I can't be good no more
Once like I did before
I can't be good, baby
Honey, because the world gone wrong
