Ain't no use baby
I'm leaving the scene
Ain't no use baby
You're too doggone mean

Yes, I'm tired of paying dues
Having the blues
Getting bad news
Ain't no use baby

Ain't no use baby
I'm leaving town
Ain't no use, baby
I'm putting you down

I'm gonna change my name
Things won't be the same
I'm tired of playing your game
Ain't no use baby, I said it ain't no use

I tried, Lord knows I tried
And I cried deep down inside
But daddy, why complain
It's all over, you're to blame, yeah yeah

Ain't no use baby
To shed those tears
Ain't no use baby
I cried for years, too many years

You've had your fun
It's over and done
And now I gotta run

Ain't no use, baby
Ain't no use
Ain't no use
Ain't no use
