It's Too Short

Now I'm down and out : ain't got no friends around
I'm going from door to door : everybody turns me down

Now my woman treats me : [just] like I'm a motherless child
She's always squabbling : she don't give me a ??? smile*

Now here I am people : out in the ice and snow
My clothes all in pawn : ain't got nowhere to go

She said she liked my music : but my tune's too short
But if she gets long winded player : she's sure to get caught

Now babe I can't help it : if I can't play long
I'm just a little skinny fellow : and a player is strong
