"Why People Like That" lyrics
(originally by Muddy Waters)
They take your love and your money
They take your sugar and your honey
They take you skinny or fat
Why people like that?
They take your house and your home
They take the flesh from your bones
They take the shirt off your back
Why people like that?
They take your phone and your clock
They take everything that you got
They laugh behind your back
Why people like that?
They take your love and your money
They take your sugar and your honey
They take you skinny or fat
Why people like that?
They take your phone or your clock
They take everything that you got
They take the shirt off your back
Why people like that?
They take your dog and your car
They promise you'll be a star
They break your heart and leave you flat
Why people like that?
I don't know why they act like that
Why people like that?
Don't be like that
They take your sugar and your honey
They take you skinny or fat
Why people like that?
They take your house and your home
They take the flesh from your bones
They take the shirt off your back
Why people like that?
They take your phone and your clock
They take everything that you got
They laugh behind your back
Why people like that?
They take your love and your money
They take your sugar and your honey
They take you skinny or fat
Why people like that?
They take your phone or your clock
They take everything that you got
They take the shirt off your back
Why people like that?
They take your dog and your car
They promise you'll be a star
They break your heart and leave you flat
Why people like that?
I don't know why they act like that
Why people like that?
Don't be like that
