Lyrics:

Now the people turns out for the big show
Pretty flowers turns out in the spring
And the light turns out in the kitchen, yeah
When somebody pulls on the string

But there's no light burning in my kitchen
And no door will open up with my key
And I ain't got nobody, nobody to turn to, y'all
That's the way love turned out for me
Listen to me

Not so very long ago
I had a love of my own
One day she's there now
And the next day she's gone

Ooh, I'd rather be a beggar
And live all alone, all alone in a shack
Than to let a no-good, no-good cheatin' woman
Ruin my life, slippin' around behind my back

Cause this old world
Keeps right on turnin' without me, y'all
I want you to know that
And that's the way love turns out for me

Let me say it for my brothers and my sisters
This old world keeps on turning without me, yeah
That's the way, yeah, yeah, turns out for me
Let's say it one more from Missis to the sea
This old world keeps on turning without me, yeah
That's the way love turns out for me
