Go out yonder,
peace in the valley
Come back down, never rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know
the shape I'm in
Has anybody seen my lady?
Is living alone driving me crazy?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know
the shape I'm in
I'm gonna go down by the water,
but I ain't gonna jump in, no
I'll just be looking for my neighbor,
cause I hear that's where he's been
To your kids, might start a ruckus,
for all we know, they're trying to shock us
Boy, you don't know
the shape I'm in
Boy, you don't know
the shape I'm in
I just spent sixty days in the jailhouse
For the crime of havin' no dough
Now here I am, back on the street
Gonna cover heaven, nowhere to go
Go out at night like
Isaiah 7
How in the world do you get to heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape
I'm in
I'm gonna go down by the water
But I ain't gonna jump and go
I'll just be looking for my neighbor
Come to hell, that's where it's been
Save your neck, save your brother
Looks like it's one or the other
Oh, you don't know, she might be
Oh, you don't know
the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know
the shape I'm in
