"Never No More" lyrics

"Never No More"
(originally by Percy Mayfield)

You can call me daddy on the telephone
I don't care how you beg me I'm not coming home
Had I known then like I know right now
I would have left you long ago
You hurt me one time baby
But you'll never get the chance no more
Never no more

You made me leave when I was out a job
I didn't have a penny, didn't have a car
I had to pack my own suit, you gave me my hat
And then you led me to the door
You hurt me one time baby
But you'll never get the chance no more
Never no more

I told you I'd be back on my feet one day
And yet still you put me out
Now you're begging me please come home
I don't know what you're talking about

Girl you really thought you played your hand
When you put me out for that other man
The joke's on you because you found out
You really didn't know the score
You had me hooked once baby
But you'll never get the chance no more
Never no more

I told you I'd be back on my feet one day
And yet still you put me out
Now you're begging me please come home
I don't know what you're talking about

Girl you really thought you played your hand
When you put me down for that other man
The joke's on you because you found out
You really didn't know the score
You had me hooked once baby
But you'll never get the chance no more
Never no more
Had me hooked once [?]
But you'll never get the chance no more
Never no more
You had me hooked once baby
But you'll never get the chance no more
Never no more
Had me hooked once [?]
But you'll never get the chance no more
