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 mornin', ain't got no home
No use for worryin', '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 did 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 because the world gone wrong

I tried to be lovin' and treat you kind
But it seems like now I, got no love in 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

If you have a woman and she don't be kind
Pray to the good lord, you're off 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

Then 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 gone wrong

Pack up my suitcase, give me my hat
No use to ask me babe, because 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
