Last Four Nickels Lyrics

Son Seals Last Four Nickels

I took my last four nickels
Put 'em into the telephone
Tryin' to call my baby
But she's not at home

Baby, what you tryin' to do to me, girl?
I wanna show you girl
Oh, the best things in life are free

I took my last hundred dollars
And I bought a gold ring
She said it ain't got no diamond
It won't mean a thing

Hey baby, what you tryin' to do to me?
I wanna show you girl
Oh, the best things in life are free
Aw

I took my last two hundred dollars
And I bought a Cadillac
She said it sho' looks good
But they wanna take it back

Hey baby, what you tryin' to do to me, girl?
I wanna show you girl
Oh, the best things in life are free

I took my last four nickels
Put 'em into the telephone
Tryin' to call my baby
But she's not at home

Hey baby, what you tryin' to do to me?
I wanna show you girl
Oh, the best things in life are free
Oh
