Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

I was standing on the corner, talking to Miss Brown
When I turned around, sweet mama, she was way across town
So I'm walking down the street, with a dollar in my hand
I've been looking for a woman, sweet mama, ain't got no man

Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

The girl I love, she's sweet and true
You know the dress she wears, sweet mama, it's pink and blue
She brings me coffee, you know she brings me tea
She brings about every damn thing, but the jailhouse key

Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in

Don't ease, don't ease, don't ease me in
I've been all night long coming home, don't ease me in
