Porcupine Meat Songtext
von Bobby Rush

I′m in love with a woman, she don't mean me no good
I would leave that woman if I could
I tried to leave her many times before
And every time I leave, I walk back for more

I know it ain′t right, yeah
Oh, it just ain't fair
I want to leave
But I can't go nowhere

It′s like porcupine meat, too fat to eat
Too lean to throw away
It′s like porcupine meat, too fat to eat
Too lean to throw away

My mama told me, when I was young
If you play with fire, you're bound to get burned
I didn′t believe my mama way back then
But look at me, ya'll, what a mess I′m in


In love with a woman
Treat me so wrong
I want to leave her
But I, I can't leave her love alone

It′s like porcupine meat, too fat to eat
Too lean to throw away
Oh, it's like porcupine meat, too fat to eat
Too lean to throw away

I can't let you be
I can′t let you be

In love with a woman, ya′ll, she don't treat me right
But her good love make it, ya′ll, all out of sight
I hooked on your love, girl, I can't leave you alone
The more your love I get, the more I want

Hooked on your kisses, girl
I can′t let you be
Your sweet kisses
Gotta hold on me

It's like porcupine meat, too fat to eat
Too lean to throw away
It′s like porcupine meat, too fat to eat
Too lean to throw away


Oh baby, I can't leave you all alone
I'm hooked, all tired and tired
I can′t leave you all alone
Hooked on your love, I can′t leave you alone
I can't leave you all alone

The more your love I get, girl, the more I want
I can′t leave you all alone
I'm addicted to your kisses
Can′t let you be, girl, your sweet kisses, ah
Got to hold on me, and won't leave me alone
