The Shape I'm In

Go out yonder, peace in the valley…
Come down town, have a rumble in the alley
Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in
Has anybody seen my lady
'Cause livin' alone will drive you crazy…
Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in
I’m gonna go down to the river
But I ain’t gonna jump in, no, no
I’ll just be lookin' for my baby
'Cause I hear that that’s where she’s been
Out of nine lives, I’ve spent seven
How in the world do I get to Heaven?
Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in
Aw, here it comes!
I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse
For the crime of havin' no dough, no
Now here I am, back on the streets
For the crime of havin' nowhere to go
Save your neck, save your brother
Looks like it’s one or the other…
Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in
No, no, no
Ooh, Lord, uh huh, I think I’m goin' down by the river
But I ain’t gonna jump in, no, no
I’ll just be lookin' for my baby
'Cause I hear that that’s where she’s been
Out of nine lives, I’ve spent seven
How in the world do I get to Heaven?
Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in
Oh, I said: «Oh, you don’t know the shape I’m in.»
