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 ev'ry night and day

I need a love to keep me happy,
I need a love, baby won't ya keep me happy
Baby, won't ya 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
