Baby I'm Broke

Baby, I’m broke

I don’t just mean money

My batteries are dead and my engine’s stopped running

 

Baby, I’m tired

Past understanding

How heartache and debt are my closest companions

 

Baby, I’m broke

Nothing to lose

I want you to help me but baby, you’re cruel

And talking to you

I might as well throw my head back and howl at the moon

Yeah, for all the good it’ll do

 

Baby, I’m broke

I feel so lonesome

Love, money or time, I don’t mind, could I loan some?

 

Baby you’re strange

Your heart’s all a flutter

Your head’s in the sky but your mind’s in the gutter

 

Baby, I’m broke

The last train’s left town

And I left my way in the lost and the found

I’m thinking out loud

I might as well throw my head back and shout at the clouds

Yeah, for all the good it’ll do now

For all the good it’ll do now

For all the good it’ll do now

 

Baby, I’m broke

There’s no use in crying

I’ll stay sitting here, filling time ‘till I’m dying

 

Baby, it’s hard

Nothing I can do

I’m just some poor fool who life dealt a bad hand to

 

Baby I’m broke

And one thing holds true

There’s no gold for me, I was born to be blue

For all of my money

And all of my hopes

Have gone up in smoke

‘Cause baby I’m broke
