(Jimmy Reed) If you gotta cry, baby, little girl, cry before I go You gotta cry, baby, little girl, cry before I go There ain't nothin' you can say, a-make me stay another day Your my lovin', whoa, I was so green I gave ya all of my lovin', whoa, I was so green Well, now I know the score, Jimmy Reed, got to split the scene Watch you cryin', baby, give me a reason I shouldn't go Watch you cry, baby, give me a reason I shouldn't go If it makes any sense to me, baby, I'll come walkin' back in that door
