Topsy-turvy sweetheart blues

Topsy-turvy sweetheart
    woman who ain' true
won' pay y' no min'
whoso livin' hoopla romance
gets lef' behin'

    so don' pay y' no min' woman
who ain' true
topsy-turvy sweetheart
bubble that blew
won' pay y' no min'
trick's turn back on you

    topsy-turvy sweetheart
swear worse'll happen
clean gotta go through
stop posturin' woman
i won' woo

    i'm battered woman
battered bleak n' blue
no more bad news
seen y' clear through
don' pay y' no min'
turnin m' back on you
