And I'm waitin' in your welfare line.
Well, I ain't got nothin'
But the shirt on my back,
And an old two button suit
I walked outta my job
About a week ago,
And now I'm sleepin' in a
Telephone booth
But I'm a-gonna be
The richest guy around,
The day you say you're mine
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Well, when I first saw you babe,
You nearly made me wreck
My ol' '49 Cadillac
I knew at a glance
That it was you for me;
I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you baby
Wherever you go;
I got nothin' to lose
But my time
I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
--- Instrumental ---
Well, you made me
The top dog on your hill,
And I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long
'Til the thrill was gone,
I joined the ranks of
The unemployed
Now, I'm right back where
That I started from,
But that ain't gonna
Change my mind
I got the hungries for your love,
And I'm waitin' in your welfare line
Yeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line
(Gimme a handout)
I'm waitin' in your welfare line...
I got the hungries for your love, And I'm waitin' in your welfare line. Well, I ain't got nothin' But the shirt on my back, And an old two button suit I walked outta my job About a week ago, And now I'm sleepin' in a Telephone booth But I'm a-gonna be The richest guy around, The day you say you're mine I got the hungries for your love And I'm waitin' in your welfare line Well, when I first saw you babe, You nearly made me wreck My ol' '49 Cadillac I knew at a glance That it was you for me; I had to have your love by heck I'm gonna follow you baby Wherever you go; I got nothin' to lose But my time I got the hungries for your love, And I'm waitin' in your welfare line --- Instrumental --- Well, you made me The top dog on your hill, And I was overjoyed But it didn't take long 'Til the thrill was gone, I joined the ranks of The unemployed Now, I'm right back where That I started from, But that ain't gonna Change my mind I got the hungries for your love, And I'm waitin' in your welfare line Yeah, I'm waitin' in your welfare line (Gimme a handout) I'm waitin' in your welfare line...
