The Things That I Used To Do Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
The things that I used to do
Lord, I won't do no more
I used to sit and hold your hand, baby
Cry and beg you not to go

[Verse 2]
I was born in Georgia, baby
Lord, I was raised in Tennessee
I was born in Augusta, Georgia, baby
Lord, I was raised in Tennessee
No matter how hard I tried
Somebody always hurting on me

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna send you back to your mother
And I'm going back to my family too
I'm gonna send you back to your mother, baby
Lord, and I'm going back to my folks
My old, my old folks back home too
'Cause nothing I can do to please you, mama
Lord, I just can't get along with you

[Outro]
Ow, ow
You're so mean to me now, to me now, hey

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • 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 [?]
