You know I'm hooked for you, mama.
That's why you sling your weight around.
You know I'm hooked for you, mama.
That's why you sling your weight around.
Ah, but as long as your lovin' beats your argin', little girl, I'll never put you down.
You argin' when I leave for work, you argin' when I get home, and everything I try to do
for you, you always say that I'm wrong.
I bring you home all my money, except the little I keep for expense, and when I get home to your mama,
you always tell me, Ray, you ain't got no sense, but on the other hand, baby, you argin'
and understand.
Ah, but when you put your lovin' arms around me, honey, you make me forget about everything.
I think about the lousy way you treat me, you're always raisin' sin, I know that you know that I know
that you've got another man.
I have the time when I'm at home, I have to go to a cafe and eat, and when you argin' all night long,
I have to go down in the den and sleep, but on the other hand, baby, your lovin' eases all my pain.
And when you put your lovin' arms around me, honey, you make old Ray forget about everything.
