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.
