Same title, but not very closely related to Waters' song:


I CAN'T BE SATISFIED
As recorded by Big Bill Broonzy, 1930

1. Now listen here, baby; tell you what I want you to do:
I want you to treat me, mama, like I do you.
Lord, I can't be satisfied,
And I can't be satisfied,
And I can't mistreat you, not to please nobody's mind.

2. I love my ... [pause] tell you the reason why.
My baby got somethin' that satisfies my mind.
Lord, I can't be satisfied,
And I can't be satisfied,
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind.

3. Lord, starvation's in my kitchen, rent sign on my door.
Good girl told me she can't use me no more.
Now, and I can't be satisfied,
And I can't be satisfied,
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind.

4. I'm leakin' out the heart, bleedin' out the nose.
Good girl told me she can't use me no more.
Now and I can't be satisfied,
And I can't be satisfied,
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind.

5. Got on my high-cut stockin's, and my low-cut shoes.
Mama and I ain't bettin' and I sure can't lose.
Oh, I can't be satisfied,
And I can't be satisfied,
And I can't mistreat that woman, not to please nobody's mind.

6. Now looka here, boys; ain't this rich?
I got to pay my wife for ever'thing I gets.
Lord, I can't be satisfied
And I can't be satisfied
And I can't mistreat her, not to please nobody's mind.
