I've got rocks in my bed, and I just can't lay down there no more
I've got rocks in my bed, and I just can't lay down there no more
Old rockin' chair's got me, and the blues is knockin' on my door

If you neva' been in love, please don't try to find it out
If you neva' been in love, please don't try to find it out
And if you feel your poor little heart slippin', please ask somebody what it's all about

'Cause it hurts to love someone, that you can't have all by yo'self
It hurts to love someone, that you can't have all by yo'self
And the part that hurts so bad - when you've got to share them with somebody else

Now you told me that you love me baby, and you told me a lie
But today you quit me - make up your mind or die
So get yo'self together, 'cause I ain't goin'a stand no more doggin' 'round
I know you got somebody else, ‘cause the talks all over town

Babe I'm gettin' awful tired of sleepin' by myself
If you don't want my lovin' I'll dish it out to somebody else
Got to get myself together, tired of sleepin' by myself
If you don't want my lovin' baby, I'll just shove it on out there to somebody else
