Lyrics

Since this recession I'm losing my baby,

Due to the economic recession, I am losing my significant other.

Because the times are getting so hard

The challenging economic times are making life difficult.

Yes, since this recession I'm losing my baby,

The recession is causing the singer to lose their partner.

Because the times are getting so hard

Reiterating the impact of tough times on the relationship.

Yes, I have to stop running around,

The singer feels compelled to stop certain behaviors due to financial difficulties.

Man, you know it's breaking my heart

Expressing emotional pain caused by the necessity to change lifestyle habits.


Yes, I can't afford no liquor,

The singer cannot afford expensive alcoholic drinks.

All I can buy is beer and wine

Financial constraints limit the purchase to beer and wine.

Yes, I can't afford no liquor people,

Reiterating the inability to afford higher-priced liquor.

All I can buy is beer and wine

Due to financial limitations, the choice is limited to beer and wine.

Well I can get my baby what she wants,

The singer can still provide basic necessities for the partner despite financial challenges.

And she stays cross al the time, yes help me

The partner remains discontent despite the singer's efforts.


Yes, please somebody,

An appeal for assistance, possibly directed towards those in power.

Please go out to Washington for me

A specific request for someone to go to Washington, indicating a plea for help at a higher level.

Yes, please, please somebody,

Reiterating the plea for someone to go to Washington on the singer's behalf.

Please go out to Washington for me

Emphasizing the urgency of seeking assistance in Washington.

Yes, think about us out here

An additional plea to consider the struggles faced by people during the recession.

Help me get out of this misery

Asking for help to overcome the misery caused by the economic downturn.
