1. strange things have happened, like never before.
My baby told me i would have to go.
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.

2. feel bad this morning, ain't got no home.
No use in worrying, 'cause the world gone wrong,
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.

3. i told you, baby, right to your head,
If i didn't leave you i would have to kill you dead.
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.

4. i tried to be loving and treat you kind,
But it seems like you never right, you got no loyal mind.
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.

5. if you have a woman and she don't treat you kind,
Praise the good lord to get her out of your mind.
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.

6. said, when you been good now, can't do no more,
Just tell her kindly, "there is the front door."
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.

7. pack up my suitcase, give me my hat,
No use to ask me, baby, 'cause i'll never be back.
I can't be good no more, once like i did before.
I can't be good, baby,
Honey, because the world's gone wrong.
