Al Kooper - Lucille Lyrics

What am I gonna do
I cannot live my life like this
I just cant take it no more
Baby you took my everything
My soul, my life, the birdies that sing flew south for shore
Tight with such a feeling of rejection
I find myself alone with no direction

Oh Lucille
What a dirty deal ya done to your man
Oh Lucille
What a dirty deal ya don't understand

Gave ya everything I had
You were so bad
I cannot speak the hurt I feel inside
Wish that you could see
If you were only me you'd taste the tears I cried
So what's the sense in talkin' now
you know it
So why must you just stare at me & show it?

Oh Lucille
What a dirty deal ya done to your man
Oh Lucille
What a dirty deal I don't understand

If love is just a game you play
Than day by day life will waste away for you, Lucille
Can't you see how much could be
This room a world of you & me forever

What am I gonna do
I cannot live my life like this
I just cant take it no more
Baby you took my everything
My soul, my life, the birdies that sing flew south for shore
Tight with such a feeling of rejection
I find myself alone with no direction

Oh Lucille
What a dirty deal ya done to your man
Oh Lucille
What a dirty deal ya done to your man
