Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh. Hard times in the city. I get over I get under. Don't it make you feel dizzy all the anger. I don't mean to be jealous. But my eyes have seen you with fellas. I find it hard to be part of the city. When it's so unjust. It makes me feel like I wanna die. That's why. I don't drink alone (I never drink alone). I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough). She calls me chicken bone (My midnight tone). And then she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough). Bricked up in the city. And the buildings are laughing. Pay check burning my pocket. Going to buy a gold chain and a locket. Makes me feel like I'm gonna lie. That's why. I don't drink alone (I never drink alone). I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough). She calls me chicken bone (My midnight tone). And then she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough). She sings when it's over. When it's over she sings. She doesn't worry as I walk out the door. Cos tomorrow I'll bring. Two small chocolates and a bottle of wine. A very nice time. All my pennies my farthings. For my mortgage that I'm under. At her place all the sorrows of the world. Can wait ‘til tomorrow. She makes me feel like it's all alright. That's why. I don't drink alone (I never drink alone). I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough). She calls me chicken bone (My midnight tone). And then she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough). I don't drink alone (I never drink alone). I got a big fine mamma at home (I just can't get enough). She calls me her chicken bone (My midnight tone). And when she rolls me like a stone (I just can't get enough). Like a stone (I just can't get enough). Like a stone (I just can't get enough). Like a stone
