Текст пісні
My baby went out
Said she'd be home soon
That was yesterday morning
Now it's tomorrow afternoon
I'm not a jealous guy
I don't have a suspicious mind
But people it's not the first time
That I've been fed that line
I'm on a short fuse
People I got the short fuse blues
Every time I take a chance on you honey
Yeah, it seems I'm bound to lose
She took all my hard earned pay
And stopped in at the shop
By the time she'd gotten home
She'd spent the lot
She broke my brand new car
Drove it all across town
Called me up at midnight
Said baby I'm broken down
I'm on a short fuse
People I got the short fuse blues
Every time I take a chance on you honey
Yeah, it seems I'm bound to lose
My baby's the kind of girl
You're better to avoid
You don't have to do anything
Just to make her annoyed
She cost me all of my money
Almost cost me my mind
I'm sure she thinks it's funny people
Thinks I'm deaf, dumb and blind
I'm on a short fuse
People I got the short fuse blues
Every time I take a chance on you honey
Yeah, it seems I'm bound to lose
Yes, I got the short fuse blues
