1 strange things have happened, like never before
My baby told me I would have to go
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong

2 feel bad this morning, ain’t got no home
No use in worrying, ’cause the world gone wrong,
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong

3 I told you, baby, right to your head,
If I didn’t leave you I would have to kill you dead
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong

4 I tried to be loving and treat you kind,
But it seems like you never right, you got no loyal mind
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong

5 if you have a woman and she don’t treat you kind,
Praise the good lord to get her out of your mind
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong

6 said, when you been good now, can’t do no more,
Just tell her kindly, "there is the front door"
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong

7 pack up my suitcase, give me my hat,
No use to ask me, baby, ’cause I’ll never be back
I can’t be good no more, once like I did before
I can’t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world’s gone wrong
