Strange things have happened,

Like never happened before.

My baby told me

I would have to go.

I can't be good no more,

Like I once did before.

I can't be good no more, baby,

Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.



Feel bad this morning,

Ain't got no home.

No use to worry,

'Cause the whole world is goin' wrong,

I can't be good no more,

Once like I did before.

I can't be good no more, baby,

Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.



I told you, baby,

Right to your head,

If I didn't leave you

I would have to kill you dead.

I can't be good no more,

Once like I did before.

I can't be good no more, baby,

Honey, because the world is goin' wrong.



If you have a woman



And she wont be kind,

Praise to the Good Lord

To get her out of your mind.

I can't be good no more,

Once like I did before.

I can't be good no more, baby,

'Cause the world is goin' wrong.



When you've been good,

You can't do no more,

Just tell her kindly,

"There's the front door."

I can't be good no more,

Once like I did before.

I can't be good no more, baby,

Honey, 'cause the world is goin' wrong.



Pack up my suitcase,

And give me my hat,

I ain't no need to ask you, darling

I ain't comming back.

I can't be good no more,

Honey, like I once did before.

I can't be good no more, baby,

Honey, 'cause the world is goin' wrong.
