LYRICS

I got a dirty, dirty feeling

Dirty feeling's goin' on

You know I almost hit the ceilin'

When I woke up and you were gone

I took you in when you were hungry

And now you're cuttin' out on me

I'm gonna help you, little darlin'

That ain't the way it's gonna be

I hear you're pretty good at runnin'

But pretty soon you'll slip and fall

That's when I'll drag you home with me, girl

I'm gonna chain you to the wall

You know I'm lookin' for you, baby

I ain't gonna take it layin' down

I heard that you were cookin', baby

Way on the other side of town

I got a dirty, dirty feeling

Dirty feeling's goin' on

You know I almost hit the ceilin'

When I woke up and you were gone
