I ain't broke but I'm badly bent

I had a little money but that's all been spent

When I look back I wonder where it went

It ain't no joke I ain't broke but I'm badly bent



I went to see a so-called friends

To get a little help for the tie I was in

I said I'll pay you back someday when my rich uncle passes away

But he looked at me kinda foolishly and then he had these words to say



He said I ain't broke but I'm badly bent...



Then I called my true love on the phone

The one I spent my last dollar on

I said I'll pay you back someday when my rich uncle passes away

But she said I'm through with the likes of you

And she had a quite few more words to say



She said I ain't broke but I'm badly bent...

It ain't no joke I ain't broke but I'm badly bent
