Well, you can’t make love to somebody
When you got somebody else on your mind
Oh, you can’t make love to another
When you try, you’re just wasting your time
I got my gal by the hand, started dancing
I tried to lose these low down blues I couldn’t hide
Yeah, that ol' funk gave me the shove and I kept crawlin'
Thought I’d long satisfied
Well, you can’t make love to somebody
When you got somebody else on your mind
Oh, you can’t make love to another
When you try, you’re just wasting your time
Well, you can’t make love to somebody
When you got somebody else on your mind
Oh, you can’t make love to another
When you try, you’re just wasting your time
Listen boy, ain’t no joy when you’re lonesome
Troubled time get you off on the wrong track
Listen to a man that’s had a lot experience
If you do wrong then you’ll never win her back
Well, you can’t make love to somebody
When you got somebody else on your mind
I said, you can’t make love to another
When you try, you’re just wasting your time
