Lyrics

You're taking chances. and your reputation's going down
Going out in the night-time. you think you make no sound
But you don't fool me. 'cos I know what you feel
If you ignore the things I say --
Someday soon's gonna find you
'Way down on beggar's farm

I pay my money for no returns
I think I need you. going to find someone
Oh, you don't fool me. 'cos I know what you feel
When you go out I ask you why
And I won't worry when I see you lying
Down on beggar's farm

When you run to me, going to turn away
Won't even listen when you try to say
That you were only fooling around --
'Cos I know what you feel
But if you ask me nicely, woman --
I'll wake up early one day soon and
I'll visit you down on beggar's farm
