I'm Catching Hell (Living Here Alone)

Tonight, I, I just want to talk to the ladies

Oh, fellows, you're cool, but, girls, if you've got a good man, you'd better keep him

Oh, I know you're saying right now, what does she know?

Who is she to tell me about my situation?

Well, I don't know your situation, but whatever it is, you should try to stay together

You know that big argument that you had the other night, remember?

Well, today it's not nothing, just don't let him leave you, honey

'Cause then you'll find out that it wasn't those real big things you loved about him

It was the real small things, go on and laugh but it's true

You know, things that you've seen a thousand times around the house

But never paid any attention to, like helping with the groceries

And helping in the yard, painting and repairing and, huh, paying the bills

But you know, now, all I have is memories and regrets

I could have given our love a chance to grow, but no

I had to challenge it and be heard

Let me tell you something

That female liberation stuff, I don't know, sometimes

I don't think it's worth it, and I'm really feeling, feeling kind of bad, y'all

I'm catching Hell living here alone

I never realized, oh, Lord, that you mean so much to me

I'm catching Hell living here alone

I want you to come back, baby

Come back 'cause here's where you belong, oh yeah

If I could replay, if I could replay that whole scene again, oh well

You know that I would never, never say it again

That our love, our love is at its end

And oh, you know that I would kind of ease on back, yes I would

And let confusion pass on by

I took a fool's way out, oh yeah

Without one good reason why

I'm catching Hell, catching Hell

Lord, I'm living, living, living here alone

I didn't believe it could be

You know all the pressure on me all the time

Oh, I'm catching Hell, well, well

Living here alone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, lone, to tell you the truth

To tell you the truth, I'm going out of my mind, yeah

Oh, do you hear me tonight

I don't have too much more to say except (This is my story)

Somebody told me that if you've got something (Hey, this is my song)

That's good to you and you don't use it, you might lose it (Sad, sad, sad song)

So, girls, hold onto your good thing (Oh, you gotta hold on a little bit now)

And don't let go, oh do you hear me tonight

It's so sad living alone, living alone

Hold onto your good thing, hold on, oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh, Lordy, Lordy, do you know what it's like

Catching Hell?

Oh, no
