Can’t You Understand

[Intro]
Yeah, baby
Woah-oh

[Verse 1]
One single dye won't shine my shoe
That's what they said to I now on Broadway

[Chorus]
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, this is what they said to I

[Verse 2]
How can I go on without money in my pocket?
How can I go on when I'm treated now so mean?
Each and every day now my poor heart is sore
The reason why is because I'm so poor

[Chorus]
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, that's what they said to I (Yeah, baby)
Lord have mercy now (Woah-oh)

[Verse 3]
Each and every day now my poor heart is sore
The reason why is because I'm so poor

[Chorus]
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, this is what they said to I

[Verse 4]
How can I go on without money in my pocket?
How can I go on when I'm treated now so mean?

[Chorus]
Baby, can't you understand?
Darling, that's what they said to I

[Outro]
Because I'm so poor, oh baby
Lord have mercy now (Oh-oh)
