[ Featuring B.B. King ]
Oh no matter what you say baby
No matter what you do
The way you treat me baby
You know, is coming back home to you
And your crying won't help you baby
Oh, crying won't help you now
Crying won't help you baby
'Cause you've been so mean to me
Oh, you must remember baby
No matter, matter where you go
Watch those seeds just scatter
'Cause you're gonna reap just what you sow
And your crying won't help you baby
Oh, crying won't help you now
Hey crying won't help you baby
'Cause you've been so mean to me, yes you have
Oh, just before I leave you woman
Just before I shake your hand
I'm going back to my woman
Gonna let you get you another man
And your crying won't help you baby
Hey, crying won't help you now
