Salt Peanuts

Lyrics

I got me a man with such a crazy name (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) The way he's got me actin', it's a cryin' shame (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) He's got me like a baby in a candy store (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) He's always somethin' I ain't tried before (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) I didn't know he'd be this way He didn't warn me I'm movin' in to stay I thought I might try him maybe once or twice (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) And then I couldn't quit him 'cause it felt so nice (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) Better listen little lady to the story that I'm layin' on you Yes, it's true little lady and it happened to me And it could happen to you When I get to lovin' my brand-new man (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) It's like eatin' salt peanuts from a gallon can (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) Never gets empty, never leaves me flat (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) And my man's lovin' is a lot like that Gotta tell ya what the fella tries to sell ya Will impel ya to be totally free ya see But when he's packin' it up and headin' for the door You gonna be dyin', really dyin' I can tell you now the man is leavin' you cryin' out for more (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) He doesn't have to worry, honey, that's for sure (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) When you see a chance and grab it don't you see you chance a habit Habit forming, heard my warning, overnight you're hooked by morning Never had time to stop and wonder why Don't split, can't quit After one taste it's a waste of time to try Girls, you better remember what I told ya When you see this man a-comin', you better start in runnin' You better hope he misses 'cause if he kisses you That's all she wrote You kiss and you kiss and you kiss and you kiss and again This time you know you really went and did it And quittin' wouldn't get it You couldn't even if you wanted to Once upon a time I had it made up in my mind That I could get along fine without it When I finally got the news There was nothin' left to lose That's enough so sing the blues about I've said just about everything I can say So come on in girl take it away You know I love you pretty baby In the special kind of way a miner feels about his gold And you know the day you left me, well baby let me say You left me out in the cold A sleepless night, hum along with a neon light And in the mornin' when I wake you I really get to shakin' Breakin' habits isn't easy to do I gotta tell ya that I didn't know he'd be this way Never heard a word about him before So, I guess I'll gather up my trinkets and my clothes And go and find out where his place is And move in all of my cases I wanna see if he could let me make him comfortable And bring his slippers and his pipe right to his chair When he comes home from the store Yes, and then I'm callin' in a man to change the lock on the door Got a habit that I need I got a habit I really got a habit You certainly can't expect a girl like me to live without what I need That's the kind of thing I couldn't do without you I need you That's how I'm thinking about you I could never make it without you And if I should ever doubt you Then you'd be allowed to throw me out of the door Once more A bad habit, I gotta try and grab it whenever I can They tell me the first one's always free You pay for the other one, and then comes another one By that time the money's up on your back, Jack Gotta get back, but I hope you'll give a listen To the drummer while he fills in all the pieces that are missin' And that's all I got to say When you see a chance and grab it don't you see you chance a habit Habit forming, heard my warning, overnight you're hooked by morning Never had time to stop and wonder why Don't split, can't quit After one taste it's a waste of time to try Girls, you better remember what I told ya When you see this man a-comin', you better start in runnin' You better hope he misses 'cause if he kisses you That's all she wrote You kiss, and you kiss, and you kiss him again This time you know you really went and did it And quittin' wouldn't get it You couldn't even if you wanted to Once upon a time I had it made up in my mind That I could get along fine without it When I finally got the news There was nothin' left to lose That's enough so sing the blues about I've said just about everything I can say So come on in girl take it away I got me a man with such a crazy name (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) The way he's got me actin', it's a cryin' shame (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) He's got me like a baby in a candy store (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) He's always somethin' I ain't tried before (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts) Take one, have two Don't mind if I do Have a few [?] salt peanuts (Salt peanuts, salt peanuts)
