Cussin' Cryin' and Carryin' On - Ike & Tina Turner

My daddy told me a long time ago

Never take candy from a stranger

I should've thought about that when I met you

I should've run away from the danger

Oh, but like a child, I believed what you said

I let your lies run dreams through my head

I let you have what you wanted, and now you're gone

And you left me cussin' and a-cryin' and a-carryin' on

'Bout the way you hurt me

'Bout my bad mistakes

Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches

You moved right in and took me

Course, you knew I was impressed

All the time I thought you loved me, yes I did

Now I know I was just another contest

But I'm walking the floor, thinking about you now

Wondering how I'm gonna make it without you

I've been a poor, poor poor poor fool, to let you do me wrong

To let you leave me cussin' and a-cryin' and a-carryin' on

'Bout the way you hurt me

And 'bout my bad mistakes

Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches

Mark my word, you gonna pay the price

You gonna meet somebody, someday, somewhere, that's gonna make you think twice

You gonna meet yourself somebody that's gonna turn you on

She'll leave you cussin' and cryin' and a carryin' on

'Bout the way she hurt you

'Bout your bad mistakes

Well, I guess you have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry you on when you're dead from heartaches

'Bout the way you hurt me!

And 'bout my bad mistakes!

Well, I guess I have to keep on carryin' on, 'til they carry me on when I'm dead from heartaches
