"You don't have me, you won't have nobody else/
I loved you baby, better than I did myself/
I said now if you don't have me, I didn't want you to have nobody else..."
"I done everything I could, just to try and get along with you..."
"Seems like my good, old gal outta done stopped her low-down ways..."
"You know, love's a hard ol' fall, make you do things you don't wanna do.."
She cheated on him, perhaps, and he got his revenge?
