I can tell the way you look at me The way you know, you hold my hand Yes, pretty baby I can understand I can tell, I can tell I know you don't love me no more No more, no more No more, a-no more I can tell, I can tell I know you don't love me no more I asked your mama and your papa, too What more can a poor man do? Now, you been runnin' with a heart-breaker child, around Yes, a new boy's why you put me down I can tell, I can tell I know you don't love me no more Well, you won't answer your telephone When I knock on your door They say that you ain't home Your sister let me in And tell me I can wait When you come home You show up real late Now, I can tell Oh, I can tell I know you don't love me no more No more I said, no more No more No more Baby, I can give you romance Only if you give me another chance I'll cook your food and wash your clothes I promise I'll keep your warm when it get cold I can tell I can tell I know you don't love me no more No more No more A-no more. ------------- Lyrics Powered by LyricFind Written By FUQUA, HARVEY/FUQUA, GWENDOLYN GORDY <i>Lyrics © EMI Music Publishing</i> |

Diddley diddley daddy, Diddley diddley daddy. I got a baby that's oh so pretty, I found her right here in the windy city, Somebody kissed my baby last night, My pretty baby cried, you know it wasn't right. Diddley diddley daddy, Diddley diddley daddy. My baby started to cry in vain, Say bo diddley, you know you're a natural born man, I say i love you baby with all my heart, Please don't never say we'll part. Diddley diddley daddy, Diddley diddley daddy. Bo diddley, bo diddley here's our scene, I want to know if you do love me. Diddley diddley daddy, Diddley diddley daddy. |

I walk 47 miles of barbed wire, I use a cobra-snake for a necktie, I got a brand new house on the roadside, Made from rattlesnake hide, I got a brand new chimney made on top, Made out of a human skull, Now come on take a walk with me, arlene, And tell me, who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Tombstone hand and a graveyard mine, Just 22 and i don't mind dying. Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? I rode around the town, use a rattlesnake whip, Take it easy arlene, don't give me no lip, Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Night was dark, but the sky was blue, Down the alley, the ice-wagon flew, Heard a bump, and somebody screamed, You should have heard just what i seen. Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Arlene took me by my hand, And she said ooowee bo, you know i understand. Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? Who do you love? |

Bo diddley done had a farm, On that farm he had some women, Women here, women there, Women, women, women everywhere. But one little girl lived on a hill, She rustled and tustled like buffalo bill, One day she decided she'd go for a ride, With a pistol and a sword by her side. She rolled right up to my front door, Knocked an' knocked 'til her fist got sore, When she turned and walked away, All i could hear my baby say: Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley, Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley. Saw my baby run across the field, Slippin' and slidin' like an automobile, Hollerin', my baby got towed away, Slipped on from me like a cadillac-8. Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley, Hey bo diddley, oh bo diddley. |

Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes, but you've been talkin' to someone else I called your mama, 'bout three or four nights ago I called your mama, 'bout three or four nights ago Your mama said, "Son, don't call my daughter no more" Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself Before you accuse me, take a look at yourself You say I've been buyin' another woman clothes, but you've been takin' money from someone else Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time Come on back home, baby; try my love one more time You've been gone away so long, I'm just about to lose my mind |

Well, you don't look strong enough to take the message, I'm strong enough, I might hurt your feelings, My feelings are already hurt by being here with you, Well, i was walking down the street with your girl the other day, Ah-ha, And the wind was blowin' real hard, Is that right? And the wind blew her hair into my face, Ah-ha, You know what else happened? What happened? The wind blew her hair into her face, Yeh? And we went a little further; you wanna hear the rest of it? I might as well, The wind blew her hair into the street! Ok; since you told me about my girl, i'm gonna tell you about yours. i was walking down the street with your girl, Yes? I took her home, for a drink, you know, Took her home? Yeh, jus' for a drink, Oh, But that chick looked so ugly, she had to sneak up on the glass to get a drink of water!

South america, You don't look like no south american to me, I'm still from south america, What part? South texas! Where are your workin' boots at? I've got 'em on, Those aren't no boots you got on; those broguettes! Hey, look-a here! What's that? I've bin tryin' to figure out what you is, I already figured out what you is! What's that? You that thing i throw peanuts at! Look-a here! What's that? You should be ashamed of yourself, Why? Calling people ugly, I didn't call you ugly, What you say? I said you was ruined, that's all! You know somethin'? What? You look like you've bin whooped with a ugly-stick! Hey! i ain't got nothin' to do with it, but i beat the fellah right...! |

Dearest darling,
Dearest darling, Dearest darling. Don't you know, The Lord above, Created you, Just for me to love, Picked you out, From all the rest, Because He knew I loved you best. Dearest darling, Dearest darling, Dearest darling, take my hand, take my hand I once had a heart, So trill and true, But now it's gone, From me to you, Take care of it, Like I have done, For you have two hearts, And I have none. Dearest darling, Dearest darling, Dearest darling. If I get to heaven, Before you do, I'll try to make a hole, And pull you thru. Dearest...dearest...dearest. If I go to heaven, And you not there, I'm gonna write your name, On the heavenly stair, If you aren't there, By turn of day, Then I know baby, You know the way. Dearest...dearest...dearest, O sweet baby, o sweet baby... |
