John Lee Hooker had it all figured out When he said, "It's in you and it's got to come out" I believe it's true 'cause it worked for me before If ain't right the first time, try it once more No need to tell you 'cause it's understood And it feels so good, yes, it feels so good

Jenny's got a face twice as long as a kite 'Cause she didn't get everything she wanted last night Her daddy's got money and she should be satisfied With her brand new roller and a pony to ride Wants to find a lover, needs to be understood And I know she could, yet I know she could
