I found these lyrics online:


IT SERVES YOU RIGHT TO SUFFER
As sung by John Lee Hooker

It serves you right to suffer, serves you right to be alone
It serves you right to suffer, serves you right to be alone
Because you're still livin' in the days done past and gone

Every time you see a woman, she makes you think of yours
Every time you see a woman, she makes you think of yours
And that's why, that's why, that's why you can't keep from crying

Your doctor put you on milk, cream, and alcohol
Your doctor put you on milk, cream, and alcohol
He told you that's why you can't sleep at night; your hurt is so bad

Every time you see a woman, she makes you think of yours
Every time you see a woman, she makes you think of yours
She treated you so bad you just couldn't keep from crying

Your life will never be the same,
You're still livin' in the days done past and gone
