Lyrics
There aint much left since you been here
All the good times done gone with the joy and the cheer
There aint much left since you been here
Black hearted sin you call yourself a man
You said hey baby I'll give you all I can
But you came in and took it all from my faithfull hands
Like a wood roach you crawled right under my skin
You ate a hole in the spot where my heart had been
You went on and checked out and never thought of payin rent
Talk is cheap when you're talking to yourself
I stopped listening when you put me on that shelf
Cause a good woman needs her love like and old man needs his health
First verse again
