  • Well, I know my days are numbered
    And I know I'm livin' fast
    I've got a mellow man who loves me
    And mellow whiskey in my glass
    So I'll just stick around
    And wait for the time to pass

    Yes, I know I'm not good lookin'
    But I'll put you in your place
    No, I know I'm not good lookin'
    But I'll put you in your place
    You can't tell me what I'm likin'
    By just lookin' at my face

    I've got a secret way of lovin'
    And I own the copyright
    I'm gonna put it on the market
    And do all my business right
    I know my man is crooked
    And I know my whiskey's straight
    And I know that man can send me
    For he feels just like a snake

    Yes, I'll thrill you, baby
    I can really satisfy your soul
    Yes, I'll really thrill you, baby
    I can satisfy your soul
    I've got a secret way of lovin'
    And it never has been told Writer/s: MINGUS BARANCO
