Lawdy Miss Clawdy Lyrics

[Intro]
Well, Lawdy, Lawdy, Lawdy miss Clawdy
Girl, you sure look good to me
But please don't excite me baby
I know it can't be me

[Verse 1]
'Cause I give you all of my money
Yeah, but you just won't treat me right
You like to ball every morning
Don't come home till late at night

[Bridge]
I'm going to tell, tell my mama
Lord, I swear ,girl, what you've been doing to me
I'm going to tell everybody that I'm down in misery

[Verse 2]
So, bye, bye, bye, baby
Girl, I won't be coming no more
Goodbye, little darling, down the road I'll go

So, bye, bye, bye, baby
Girl, I won't be coming no more
Goodbye, little darling, down the road I'll go

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
