Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go on home, now I guess, I'm satisfied
Please, tell me as I don't know
Why I'm splayed out on the floor
What it's like, what it's like to be satisfied?
Well now, I'll go alone, now I guess, I'm satisfied
I'll go alone, now I guess, I'm satisfied
La-last night, last night, Lord, how I cried? Yeah
I'm little bit old, now I guess, I'm satisfied
Little bit old, now I guess, I'm satisfied
Please, tell me, I don't know
Why I'm splayed out on the floor
What it's like, what it's like to be satisfied?
Well, I am going on home, now I guess, I'm satisfied
I'm going home, now I guess, I'm satisfied
I'm going home, Lord, guess, I'm satisfied
Last night, last night, Lord, how I cried?
Oh, last night, last night, Lord, how I cried?
