Workin' from seven to eleven every night 
 Really makes life a drag 
 I don't think that's right 
    I've really been the best, the best of fools 
 I did what I could, yeah   
 'Cause I love you, baby 
 How I love you, darling 
 How I love you, baby 
 My beloved little girl, little girl   
 But, baby, since I've been loving you, yeah 
 I'm about to lose my worried mind, oh, yeah   
 Everybody trying to tell me 
 That you didn't mean me no good 
 I've been trying, Lord, let me tell you 
 Let me tell you I really did the best I could   
 I've been, I've been working from seven to eleven every night 
 I said it kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag, drag 
 Lord, yeah, that ain't right, no, no   
 Since I've been loving you 
 I'm about to lose my worried mind 
 Watch out   
 Said I've been crying, yeah, yeah 
 Oh, my tears, they fell like rain 
 Don't you hear them, don't you hear them falling? 
 Don't you hear them, don't you hear them falling?   
 Do you remember, mama 
 When I knocked upon your door? 
 I said, you had the nerve to tell me 
 You didn't want me no more, yeah   
 I open my front door, hear my back door slam 
 You know, I must have one of them 
 Newfangled, newfangled back-door men 
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah   
 I've been working from 
 Seven, seven, seven, to eleven, every night 
 It kinda makes my life a drag, drag, drag 
 Ah, yeah, it makes it a drag   
 Baby, since I've been loving you 
 I'm about to lose, I'm about to lose  
 Lose my worried mind   
 Just one more, just one more, ooh, yeah 
 Since I've been loving you 
 I'm about to lose my worried mind
