"Fish Ain't Bitin'" lyrics - LAMONT DOZIER

I'm out here fighting, hungry
The fish ain't biting
Life's so frightening
I'm out here stumbling
Broke and crumbling
And nothing's hatching
And I ain't catching
Nothing, (nothing, nothing)
Nothing, (nothing)

I'm running last in this human race
Trying to get over this hopeless place
Trying to find with no defense
And I can't win with no confidence
And meanwhile in DC
Tricky Dick, is trying to be slick
And the short end of the stick
Is all I'm gonna get it
Tricky Dick, please quit

I'm out here fighting, hungry
The fish ain't biting
Life's so frightening
I'm out here stumbling
Broke and crumbling
And nothing's hatching
And I ain't catching
Nothing, (nothing, nothing)

I've been trying to recover
From that phase one
But it's just too hard when the damage is already done
Oh when will we over come
Or am I just dentined, destined to be a bum

With phase two
I thought I was through
And phase four
Gonna take me out the back door
If I know, if for sure
I'm on my knees begging please
Take a minute, stop your...

I'm out here fighting, hungry
The fish ain't biting
Life's so frightening
I'm out here stumbling
Broke and crumbling
And nothing's hatching
And I ain't catching
Nothing, (nothing, nothing)

Can't afford to be lazy
When the cost of livin's gone crazy
Oh...

I'm out here fighting, hungry
The fish ain't biting
Life's so frightening
I'm out here stumbling
Broke and crumbling
And nothing's hatching
And I ain't catching

I'm out here fighting, hungry
The fish ain't biting
Life's so frightening
I'm out here stumbling
[Fade out]
