I don't drive a big fast car.
I can't play golf and try for par.
And I had money, now it's gone far.
'Cause baby, yeah, yeah, you take what I got!
Oh, why, oh, why?
You take what I got, throw it in the fire.
Whoa-oh-oh, and whoa-oh-yeah
you take what I got from me.

I once lived in a beautiful place.
And I had clothes with the best of taste.
And even had a mistress with a beautiful face.
But baby, yeah, yeah, you take what I got!
Oh, why, oh, why?
You take what I got, throw it in the fire.
Whoa-oh-oh, and whoa-oh-yeah
you take what I got from me.

Now when you're near me, oo-ee!
Your head goes around and around!
And when you sued me, whoa yeah!
My ego went tumbling down! You end me!

Now, I once lived in a beautiful place.
