Waitin' In Your Welfare Line

i got the hungries for your love

and i'm waiting in your welfare line

well ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back

and an old two button suit

i walked out of my job about a week ago

and now i'm sleeping in a telephone booth

but i'm gonna be the richest guy

around the day you say you're mine

i've got the hungries for your love

and i'm waiting in your welfare line

when i first saw you baby

you nearly made me wreck my old forty nine cadillac

i knew at a glance it was you for me

i had to have your love by heck

i'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go

i got nothing to lose but my time

i got the hungries for your love

and i'm waiting in your welfare line

well you made me the top dog on your hill

and i was overjoyed

but it didn't take long till the thrill was gone

i joined the ranks of the unemployed

now i'm right back where that i started from

but that ain't gonna change my mind

i got the hungries for your love

and i'm waiting in your welfare line

yeah i'm waiting in your welfare line

gimme a handout

i'm waiting in your welfare line
