Baby, I'm broke
I don't just mean money
My batteries are dead and my engine's stopped running

Baby, I'm tired
Past understanding
How heartache and debt are my closest companions

Baby, I'm broke
Nothing to lose
I want you to help me but baby, you're cruel
And talking to you
I might as well throw my head back and howl at the moon
Yeah, for all the good it'll do

Baby, I'm broke
I feel so lonesome
Love, money or time, I don't mind, could I loan some?

But baby you're strange
Your heart's all a flutter
Your head's in the sky but your mind's in the gutter

Baby, I'm broke
The last train's left town
And I left my way in the lost and the found
I'm thinking out loud
I might as well throw my head back and shout at the clouds
Yeah, for all the good it'll do now
For all the good it'll do now
For all the good it'll do now

Baby, I'm broke
No use in crying
I'll stay sitting here, filling time ‘till I'm dying

Baby, it's hard
Nothing I can do
I'm just some poor fool who life dealt a bad hand to

Baby I'm broke
And one thing holds true
There's no gold for me, I was born to be blue
For all of my money
And all of my hopes
Have gone up in smoke
‘Cause baby I'm broke
