ain't no good life lyrics

Yeah

Ain't no good life
Not the one that I lead
'Cause the more I fight the sadness, yeah
It only seems the more that I grieve

Well, I look back on the good times
As some lost part of me
I wanna know, tell me why is it so

Well, just 'cause I don't pray
Lord, that don't mean I ain't forgiven
Just 'cause I'm alive
That don't mean I'm makin' a livin'

I'm gonna get myself together
I'm gonna try a dyin' attempt
Talkin' about the good times slippin' by
Yeah, I tell ya now
I don't even know where last month went

Well, I can't make no money, baby
Well, 'cause my money's already spent
And I know where it went
I said, it went on that damn rent

Well, I don't mean change
Baby, I mean foldin' money
Well, I want lovin', said, I don't need nobody
I don't need nobody, now

Ain't exactly my idea
It's sort of old, borrowed and blue
Just tryin' to say, don't try that straight life buddy
Or you'll find it kind of hard on you

Woman, don't try to cook nothin' up
Ooh, brother you know
You'll only wind up in your own stew
Just don't let nobody tell you
Oh, what you oughta do
