Lyrics for What Can I Call My Own
A woman's love Is all I ever prayed for I wasn't blessed with riches I don't drive no fine car My woman just left me Now my pride is gone And without pride What in this world can I call my own? Life's sure gets lonely In this old tenement room I've got to start saving 'Cause the landlord is due soon My woman's love is like a windstorm Now the wind's done blown And without her love What in this world can I call my own? My ship of dreams is now sinking She is the captain of my soul Yesterday (Yesterday), grief was nothing (Yesterday) And today, today my poor old heart is suffering And how can a man live without a goal? I lost her love I lost her sweet, sweet love But what in this world can I call my own?
