I been run down, I been lied to
And I don't know why I let that mean woman make me a fool
She took all my money, wrecked my new car
Now she's with one of my good-time buddies, they're drinkin' in some crosstown bar

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

My friends tell me that I've been such a fool
And I have to stand by and take it, baby, all for lovin' you
Drown myself in sorrow as I look at what you've done
But nothin' seems to change, the bad times stay the same and I can't run

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'

Sometimes I feel, sometimes I feel
Like I been tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Tied to the whippin' post
Good Lord, I feel like I'm dyin'
