[Chorus]
These are bad times for me and my baby
We had a quarrel, a nasty fight
These are bad times for me and my baby
And I've been up cryin' almost half the night

[Verse 1]
A woman's like a fine glass
Handle her with care
'Cause if she breaks away from you
Now, buddy, you're nowhere

[Verse 2]
I went and said some things
I know I shouldn't have said
Now, I'm feelin' sorry
I guess I lost my head

[Chorus]
Oh, and I know that these are bad times for me and my baby
We had a quarrel, a nasty fight
These are bad times for me and my baby
And I've been up cryin' almost all the night

[Verse 3]
I miss the way you held me
Now, tell me things okay
When I come home exhausted
From a long and weary day
[Verse 4]
Oh Lord, I need a helpin' hand
I know I'm all alone
Tell her that I love her
Tell her to come home

[Chorus]
Please 'cause I'm cryin', and these are bad times for me and my baby
We had a quarrel, a nasty fight
These are bad times for me and my baby
And I've been up cryin' almost fifteen hours now, yes

[Outro]
And I know, and I know, and I know
(These are bad times for me and my baby) Oh, they're bad times now
(These are bad times for me and my baby)
Oh, oh, baby now they are bad times (Bad times) and I know (for me and my baby)
(These is bad times for me and my baby)
(These is bad times for me and my baby)
(These is bad times)
