1. strange things have happened, like never before.
my baby told me i would have to go.
i can't be good no more, once like i did before.
i can't be good, baby,
honey, because the world's gone wrong.
2. feel bad this morning, ain't got no home.
no use in worrying, 'cause the world gone wrong,
i can't be good no more, once like i did before.
i can't be good, baby,
honey, because the world's gone wrong.
3. i told you, baby, right to your head,
if i didn't leave you i would have to kill you dead.

4. i tried to be loving and treat you kind,
but it seems like you never right, you got no loyal mind.

5. if you have a woman and she don't treat you kind,
praise the good lord to get her out of your mind.
i can't be good no more, once like i did before.
i can't be good, baby,

6. said, when you been good now, can't do no more,
just tell her kindly, "there is the front door."

honey, because the world's gone wrong.
7. pack up my suitcase, give me my hat,
no use to ask me, baby, 'cause i'll never be back.
i can't be good no more, once like i did before.
i can't be good, baby,
honey, because the world's gone wrong.
