"The Shape I'm In" lyrics - THE POINTER SISTERS

Go down yonder
Peace in the valley
Go downtown
There's a rumble in the alley
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

Has anybody
Seen my baby?
This living alone
Will drive me crazy
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, no
I'll just be looking for my neighbor
And I hear that's where he has been!

Out of nine lives,
I spent seven
Now, how in the world
Am I gonna get to Heaven?
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in

I just spent 60 days
In the jail house
For a crime
Of having no dough
Now I'm here
Back out on the street
On account of having nowhere to go

Save your neck,
Save your brother
Looks like it's just one or the other
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 the shape I'm in
Oh, you don't know the shape I'm in
