How low do you feel When your baby walks out? Well, it ain't no time for you to twist and shout How low do you feel When she tells you goodbye? You get so dead gone lonesome, you wanna die I was broke so flat, I couldn't raise a dime Locked in jail and couldn't pay my fine, pay my fine It never helped my moral to be called a heel But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel When you find another man a-layin' in your place And she throws your old work clothes out at your face You gotta tell yourself, that it just can't be real But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel I was broke so flat, I couldn't raise a dime Locked in jail and couldn't pay my fine, pay my fine It never helped my moral to be called a heel But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel How low do you feel, when old friends say Have a drink on me and pass the time away? They sympathize with you and say, you got a bad deal But when your woman walks out, how low do you feel I was broke so flat, I couldn't raise a dime Locked in jail and couldn't pay my fine, pay my fine It never helped my moral to be called a heel But when your baby walks out, how low do you feel It never helped my moral to be called a heel But when your baby walks out, how low does she feel
