Well, I remember when you used to look so good
And I did everything that I possibly could for you
We used to ride around all over town
But they're puttin' you down for bein' around with me

But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause I ain't got no papers on you

In the middle of the summer I had a job bein' a plumber
Just to pass full of fall, it was you I wanna ball all day
Oh we were walkin' along, honey, hand in hand
And I'm a-thinkin' of you, mama, when you're thinkin' of another man

But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause I ain't got no papers on you
No, I don't I ain't got no papers on myself

All alone on the bone when I didn't have a home
When I thought of where I was and I knew where I was supposed to be
I was twitchin' so I turned and it's really hard to learn
That everyone I saw was just another part of me

But you can go ahead if you want to
'Cause nobody's got no papers on you
No way, it's just a falsehood
