I got a closet full of clothes, but no matter where it goes, It keeps a ring in the nose, but I ain't got you.	b
I got a tavern and a liquor store. I play the numbers, yeah, four forty-four. I got a mojo, yeah, don't you know, I'm all dressed up with no place to go.	c
I got women to the right of me. I got women to the left of me. I got women all around me, but I ain't got you.	d
