1. Strange things have happened, like never before.
My baby told me I would have to go.
I can´t be good no more, once like I did before.
I can´t be good, baby,

Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.

2. Feel bad this morning, ain´t got no home.
No use in worrying, ´cause the world gone wrong,
I can´t be good no more, once like I did before.
I can´t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.

3. 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, baby,
Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.

4. I tried to be loving and treat you kind,
But it seems like you never right, you got no loyal mind.

I can´t be good no more, once like I did before.
I can´t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.

5. If you have a woman and she don´t treat you kind,
Praise 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, baby,
Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.

6. Said, when you been good now, can´t do no more,
Just tell her kindly, "there is the front door."
I can´t be good no more, once like I did before.
I can´t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.

7. Pack up my suitcase, give me my hat,
No use to ask me, baby, ´cause I´ll never be back.
I can´t be good no more, once like I did before.
I can´t be good, baby,
Honey, because the world´s gone wrong.
