Lyrics John Lee Hooker

John Lee Hooker

I Put My Trust In You

I couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you'd let me

down

I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe, you would

let me down

I've been too good to you baby, you hurt me with what

you did

My friend tried to tell me, you didn't mean me no good

I didn't believe a word he said, I couldn't believe it,

whoo

I couldn't believe, you would let me down

I done lost everything that I had baby,

I can't believe you would let me down

You goes downtown, to the judge

You tell the judge, everything you got, give it to me

You looked up at me

Hit the road Jack,

and don't come back no more

I couldn't believe, you let me down, baby

I'm leavin' now baby, done lost my home

My brand new car baby

I know, I know another man,

gonna move in

But I can't believe, treatin' me the way you did

Now baby, look-a here baby

How could you treat me the way you did baby

I just couldn't believe, I couldn't believe you would

let me down,

good as I been to you baby

I'm goin' now baby

All I, all I got, all I got, is on my back

I've gotta go now baby

I better go now baby, baby

I just couldn't believe, hmmmm

Ooh, aah yeah, yeah, aye baby
