INTRO
When a man says he loves you better than he loves himself
When a man says he loves you better than he loves himself
He don't mean you no good, he's told that same lie to somebody else
For just plain old love don't run this wicked old world today
For just plain old love don't run this wicked old world today (Spoken, Blake: You're right about that, sister.)
If you've got troubles and no money, nobody wants you when you're old and gray (Spoken, Blake: Sure don't, honey, plenty don't!)
Borrowed love ain't nothin' but you single women lovin' married men (Blake hums)
Borrowed love ain't nothin' but you single women lovin' married men (Blake scats)
It may do for a while, but it's bound to jam you at the end (Blake scats)
If I could only see my married man today (Blake trumpet impression)
If I could only see my married man today (Blake scats)
I'd catch the first train going anywhere, even to Atlanta, GA (Blake scats)
You say bad luck and trouble, times ain't like it used to be (Blake scats in double time)
You say that bad luck and trouble, times ain't like they used to be (Blake scats in double time)
Borrowed love has jammed everybody, and now it's 'bout to jam poor me (Blake harmonizes with end of line)
