Never kept a dollar past sunset
Always burned a hole in pants
Never made a school marm happy
Never got a second chance, oh no
I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy, baby
Baby won’t you keep me, baby
Baby, won’t you keep me

Always took candy from strangers
Didn’t wanna get me no trade
Never want to be like my father
Working for the boss, night and day

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy, baby
Baby, baby keep me happy

Never got a flash out of cocktails
When I got some flesh off the bone
Never got a lift out of lear jets
When I can fly way back home

I need a love to keep me happy
I need a love to keep me happy
Baby, baby, baby
Baby
