Don't give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn't need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side

I didn't want to love you
I swear to God it's true
I don't like dreaming of you
But I but damn my soul, I do

Y'see, I got hit so hard, I thought I was dyin'
Then I fell so far, I thought I could fly
Darling from the start, if somebody's lying,
Double-cross your heart, and don't even try

Because I sure don't want to need you
I'd hate to count on you
I'm tired of going crazy, anymore
But I but damn my soul, I do

Don't give me no more goddamn pain
Baby, the time has turned the tide
I didn't need no ball and chain
I got the numbers on my side
