But on the Other Hand Baby - Ray Charles

You know I'm hooked for you mama

That's why you sling your weight around

You Know I'm hooked for you mama

That's why you sling your weight around

But as long as your lovin' beats your hoggin'

Little Girl I'll never put you down

You argue when I leave for work

You argue when I get home

Everything I try to do for you

You always say that I'm wrong

I bring you home all my money

Except the little I keep for expense

And when I get home to you mama you always tell me

[Ray you ain't got nooo sense]

But on the other hand baby

You I can understand

Ah, But when you put your loving arms around me honey

You make me forget about everything

I think about the lousy way you treat me

Your always-raising sin

I know that you know that I know

That you've got another man

Ah, Half the time that I'm at home

I have to go to a café and eat

And when you argue all night long

I have to go down to the den and sleep

But on the other hand baby

Your loving eases all my pain

And when you put your loving arms around me honey

You make old Ray forget about everything
