I wake up ev'ry mo'nin' with the risin' sun
Thinkin' of my baby and all the good she's done
But ooh-oooh, that don't matter, now

You'll miss your water when your well go dry
I miss my baby when she said, 'Goodbye'
But ooh-oooh, that don't matter, now

I stay so worried
I don't know what to do-ooo
No one to love me or tell my trouble to

'Play that thing, Mr. Piano Man'

'Play it 'till it gets through to ev'rybody'

'Drink another pint, William?'

'I'm gonna get drunk and pitch me a boogie woogie'

'Still a good fella, oh yes!'
'Live a good fella, you'll die one'
'Is that right?'
'Oh, yeah'

I miss her huggin' and her kisses, too
No one could love me like my baby do
But ooh-oooh, that don't matter, now

I miss the way she starch and iron my clothes
I miss the way she give me good jellyroll
But ooh-oooh, that don't matter, now

I'm so unhappy, blue as I can be, oh yes!
I love my baby
Well, she don't care for me
Ooh, yeah.
