1. _ I've Got Some Outside Help I Don't Need
All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
One that ain't never been told
I went to work the other day
But I thought that I would double back
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!
I ain't got none now baby
I think you've been cheating on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need
The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
And he didn't even ring twice
I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need
Now, I want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And I want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice
And when I come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf.
I want to tell that slick insurance man
That he'd better write some insurance on his self.
Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help
Some help, I don't really need

2. _ Good Man Gone Bad
I want you to stop right there, baby
Baby, and try to understand
Hey, I might have been your fool for a while, baby
But I know I'm a good loving man
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be
I know when you got home last night
Your kissing me was your plan
I know you were just faking me, baby
'Cause you'd been out with your other man
And you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be
Hey, I can't quit you, baby
'Cause you're honey but the bees don't know
There's one thing I got to tell you, little girl
Just one thing before I go
That is you shouldn't lie to me, baby
Makes me mad as a man can be

3. _ Bluesman (Understand)
I've traveled for miles around
It seems like everybody wanna put me down
Because I'm a blues man
But I'm a good man, understand
I went down to the bus station
Looked up on the wall
My money was too light, people
Couldn't go nowhere at all
I'm a blues man
But a good man, understand
The burdens that I carry are so heavy, you see
It seems like it ain't nobody in this great big world
That would wanna help old B.
But I will be all right, people
Just give me a break
Good things come to those who wait
And I've waited a long time
I'm a blues man but a good man, understand

4. _ I'll Survive
You say you're leaving, you've shattered my dreams
All of our plans dear, forgotten it seems
Yes, it had to happen
I'm not surprised, but I'll, I'll survive
Your friends have shown you a much better way
All of my loving you baby, all of those years, ended today
Yes, you go on darlin'
I'll dry my eyes, but I'll, I'll survive
Go on! May God bless you
It was fun. While it was fun
Baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done
Hey! you go on darlin', seek your fortune and fame
All your good luck or bad luck
Your friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more baby
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh, go on! May God bless you
Oh, it was fun. While it was fun
Oh baby, I hate to lose you
I say I hate to lose you baby
It's all over! What's done is done
Hey! You go on baby, seek your fortune and fame
All your good good luck or bad luck
Friends must take the blame
Oh! I can't beg you no more
I've got too much pride, but I'll, I'll survive
Oh! I'll, I'll survive
Baby, I'll survive

5. _ Tell Me Baby
Just tell me baby! Just tell me baby!
What can I do to change your mind?
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind
I've got the blues about you baby*
You keep me worried all the time
You say you love me
I believe you do
But I think you're trying to quit me
And what more can I do?
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind?
I've got the blues about you baby
You keep me worried all the time
You've got a man in the east
You've got a man in the west
I'm sitting here wondering
Which one you love the best
Hey, hey, hey baby
What can I do to change your mind?
Got the blues about you baby
Keep me worried all the time

6. _ Shake It Up And Go
You might be old, about 90 years
But you ain't too old to shift them gears
You can shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
Shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure can shake it up and go
Mama killed a chicken, she thought it was a duck
She put it on the table with his legs sticking up
She had to shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
Shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure got to shake it up and go
I told my baby the week before last
The gait she had was just a little too fast
She had to shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
Shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure got to shake it up and go
Look here baby, you ain't treating me right
You go out everyday, stay out late at night
You got to shake it up and go, baby (Shake it up and go)
You got to shake it up and go (Shake it up and go)
You good-looking people sure got to shake it up and go

7. _ If I Lost You
You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Without your love, baby
I don't know just what I would do
Years of loving you, you've been so true
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you
I guess I've been lucky to have someone so dear
To talk and laugh and always bring me cheer
After all of these years you've been so true to me, baby
I believe I'd lose my mind if I lost you
After all of the lies I've told you
Just like giving you the stars
And buying you mink coats
Mink coats and diamonds, baby
Money in the bank and each year
Each year two brand new cars
You're the greatest thing in my life, baby
Between me and you I know I've got the best deal
Let me thank you, baby, you've been so true
I'd lose my mind if I lost you

8. _ You're On Top (Blues In 'G')
Yes you're on the top now, baby
But don't nothing stay the same
Hey you're on the top now, baby
But don't nothing stay the same
Every now and then, baby
Lady luck deals another hand
You're calling me your pal now
When I used to be your man
Hey you're calling me your pal now, baby
When I used to be your man
You're flying real high now, baby
Go on and raise your sand
I realize now, baby
Your kind of love ain't true
Hey I realize now, baby
Your kind of love won't do
Well what should've been, baby
Now has all fell through

9. _ Broken Promise
You broke your promise, baby
You don't love, honor or obey
You won't do nothing I tell you
You go on mistreating me everyday
You're hardly acting your part, baby
You won't do nothing the preacher says
You don't love me, baby
You don't even wish me well
Honor's just a joke with you, baby
You don't love me, I can tell
Married life with you, baby
I'd rather be living in a cell
You deceive me, baby
You use me like a child
You tricked me into loving you, baby
I was loving you all the while
You played with my heart, baby
I said I was loving you all the while

10. _ Mean Ole' World
This is a mean ole' world
Baby, to live in all by yourself
I said a mean, mean, mean ole' world
To live in all by yourself
When you can't get the woman you're loving
Because she's loving somebody else
I smile to keep from worrying
And I laugh just to keep from crying
Smile to keep from worrying
Laugh just to keep from crying
Trying to keep the public from knowing
Baby, what I've got on my mind
Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
Someday, baby
When the blood runs cold in my veins
You won't be able to mistreat me no more then, baby
'Cause my heart won't feel no pain

11. _ Bad Case Of Love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
I got a bad case of love
People, my heart is filled with misery
I live in loneliness, never get no rest
Went to see a love doctor to get out of this mess
Took a look at me before he cast his spell
Shook his head, then began to yell
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
Boy, your heart is filled with misery
I said, 'Doctor, doctor, please do something for me
I feel like a man going through the third degree
Can't sleep at night, can't eat a bite
Since she been gone nothing ever goes right'
He said, 'Son, I know just how you feel
You love your baby and you always will
But your wind is short, your pulse is weak
It won't be long before you're six feet deep'
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
You got a bad case of love
Boy, your heart is filled with misery

12. _ Darlin' What Happened
Oh darling, what happened to that beautiful smile?
The ones you gave me any time we were face to face
Oh is it someone else taking my place
Oh baby, what happened
Oh what happened to those fast heartbeats?
The ones that excited me so
Oh tell me, don't you love me
Oh, baby, don't you care any more?
Darling, what happened
Oh it's so sad what a little time can do
Oh when you're hanging out with another
Losing a love with you
All those good times we had
Baby, just me and you
Oh darling, before I go
There's one thing I'd like to know
Don't you love me?
Don't you care any more?
Darling, what happened
