A Hard Pill to Swallow

It's a hard pill to swallow
Fills my heart with pain
It's a hard pill to swallow
Fills my heart with pain
Don't you hear me, people?
I ain't no lyin' man

I woke up this morning
Looked up at the sun
I thought about
What my baby had done

That was a hard pill to swallow
It filled my heart with pain
Well, don't you hear me, people?
I ain't no lyin' man

I went down on the corner
To the paper stand
I caught my baby
Makin' love with her man

That was a hard pill to swallow
It filled my heart with pain
Well, don't you hear me, people?
I ain't no lyin' man

Well, the police walked up
And I didn't even run
Now I'm servin' my time
And my baby out havin' her fun

That's a hard pill to swallow
Yes, it fills my heart with pain
Don't you hear me, people?
I ain't no lyin' man

When I was in prison
Servin' my time
When I came back home
I heard a baby cryin'

That was a hard pill to swallow
It filled my heart with pain
Well, don't you hear me, people?
I ain't no lyin' man
