Living In A Box - Bobby Womack

Got a woman that hold

That one inside

Caught up in the middle

I try to keep 'em satisfied

But the more I kill

The more they want

The more I do

The more they don’t

Now, that’s what I call trapped

In a cardboard box

I woke up this morning

Livin' on hard times

Nothing doing

I feel resistance

As I open up my eyes

Someone’s fooling

But I’ve found a way to break

Through this, been my busy night

'Cause I know what’s going on

That’s the cool fact

I’m living in a box (livin')

I’m living in a cardboard box

I’m living in a box (livin'), ooh, ooh, boom

Life goes in circles

'Round and 'round and 'round, circulating

I sometimes thought I found

What’s moving underground

Just escaping, aw

I’ve found a way to break

Through this, been my busy night

'Cause I know what’s going on

That’s the cool fact

I’m living in a box (livin')

I’m living in a cardboard box

I’m living in a box (livin'), ooh, ooh, boom

Got a woman that hold

That one inside

Caught up in the middle

I try to keep 'em satisfied

So that the more I kill

The more they want

The more I do

The more they don’t, ooh

The man’s in trouble

One way or another, we are all in a cardboard box

I’m living (livin'), living

In a box (livin')

Well

You’re living, (living), living in a cardboard box (livin'), ooh

I’m living, yes I am, oh, can’t do nothing about it, huh

That’s livin' in a cardboard box
