I got the hun-gries for your love
And I'm waiting in your welfare line
Well I ain't got nothing but the shirt on my back
And an old two-button suit
I walked outta my job about a week ago
And I'm now sleeping in a telephone booth
But I'm gonna be the richest guy around
The day you say you're mine
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waiting in your welfare line
Well when I first met you babe you nearly
Made me wreck my old 49 Cadillac
Yeah I knew at a glance that it was you for me
I had to have your love by heck
I'm gonna follow you baby wherever you go
I got nothing to lose but my time
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waiting in your welfare line
Well you made me the top dog of your hill
And I was overjoyed
But it didn't take long until the thrill was gone
I joined the ranks of the unemployed
Now I'm right back where that I started from
But I ain't gonna change my mind
I got the hungries for your love
And I'm waiting in your welfare line
I'm waiting in your welfare line gimme a handout
I'm waiting in your welfare line
