Well, I never kept a dollar past sunset It always burned a hole in my pants Never made a school mama happy Never blew a second chance, oh no I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby keep me happy Baby, baby keep me happy Always took candy from strangers Didn't wanna get me no trade Never want to be like papa Working for the boss every night and day I need a love to keep me happy I need a love, baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, please keep me I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy Never got a flash out of cocktails When I got some flesh off the bone Never got a lift out of Lear jets When I can fly way back home I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy (Baby) Baby, keep me happy (Baby) Baby, keep me happy (Baby)
