[Verse 1] Well, I never kept a dollar past sunset It always burned a hole in my pants Never made a school mama happy Never blew a second chance, oh no [Chorus] I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy [Verse 2] Always took candy from strangers Didn't wanna get me no trade Never want to be like papa Working for the boss every night and day [Chorus] I need a love to keep me happy I need a love Baby, won't you keep me happy? Baby, won't you keep me happy? (Happy) Baby, please keep me [Chorus] I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy Baby [Verse 3] Never got a flash out of cocktails When I got some flesh off the bone Never got a lift out of Lear jets When I can fly way back home [Chorus] I need a love to keep me happy I need a love to keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy Baby, baby, keep me happy Baby [Outro] Happy Baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, won't you keep me happy Oh, keep, oh, baby, keep me happy Now, baby, won't you keep me happy Baby, got me feeling happy Now, now, now, now, now, happy Come on now, keep me happy Keep on, baby, keep me happy
