Yeah, they came to take me away

Said, "I'd be sittin' here for the rest of my life"

But I don't really care, I shot my wife

And brother, I can't even remember the reason why

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad

Well I ain't had no love, since I don't know when

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

We was down in Jacksonville, a cold winter night

My baby and I, we began to fight

I heated up and I grabbed my gun

Ooh, I get so cold on those nights down south

She was layin' in a pool right there on the kitchen floor

She looked up at me and began to smile

Her gaspin' words, "Baby, I love you"

Then she closed those baby blue eyes

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Aah, it makes a long time man feel bad

Well I ain't had no love, since I don't know when

Oh It sure makes a long time man feel bad

It makes a long time man feel bad

Yeah, it makes a feel so bad

Sometimes I hear you call my name

In the dead of the night, yeah

Oh, it makes a long time man feel bad

Yeah, it makes a long time man feel bad

Hmm yeah

Feel bad, bad

I ain't had those arms around me

I ain't had those lips, those lips, around me

It sure makes a long time man feel bad

So bad

It sure makes a long time man feel bad

So bad

It sure makes a long time man feel bad

Yeah, so bad
