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
