INTRO SOLO

Now, listen here, baby, tell you what I want you to do
Want you treat me, mama, like I do you
REFRAIN: Lord, and I can't be satisfied, and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat you, not to please nobody's mind

Now, I love my sweetie, tell you the reason why
My baby got something that satisfies my mind
REFRAIN: Lord, and I can't be satisfied, and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind

Lord, starvation's in my kitchen, the rent sign's on my door
My good girl told me she can't use me no more
REFRAIN: Lord, and I can't be satisfied, and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind

SOLO

I'm leakin' at the heart, bleedin' at the nose
My good girl told me she can't use me no more
REFRAIN: Now, and I can't be satisfied, and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind

SOLO

Got on my high-cut stockin's , my low-cut shoes,
Mama, I ain't frettin' now and I sure can't lose
REFRAIN: Lord, I can't be satisfied, and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat that woman, not to please nobody's mind

Now, look-a-here, boys, ain't this rich?
I gotta pay my wife for everything I get
REFRAIN: Lord, and I can't be satisfied, and I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind
