Been livin' way down in the heartbreak zone
Smokin' and drinkin' my coffee all alone
My mohair suit is all I own
Because my woman up't and gone

That woman's got me crawlin round on the floor
That's just how low she put me down a bop a mau mau
Sometimes I'd like to go get stoned
Because my woman's up't and gone

[ horns ]
Home without my woman just ain't no home
I lost the cool that kept my heat turned on
I toss and turn till the break of dawn
because my woman's up't and gone

That woman's got me crawlin' round on the ground
That's just how low she put me down a bop a mau mau
Sometimes I'd like to go get stoned
Because my woman's up't and gone

Sometimes I'd like to go get stoned
Because my woman's up't and gone
