[18 in the 80s]

I'll be posting a demo of this song in the WIP forum if anyone wants to hear it.

Thanks for looking at,  all feedback appreciated

Cheers



Verse One
I had a woman, a best friend and money 
I thought I had it all        
Then one day them three got it together    
And my key wouldn't fit my door  

Chorus
(My) best friend,  my woman and my money  
Used to worry me before      
All the things that used to worry me       
Don't worry me no more       
 
I had a woman, a best friend and my money  
Now I ain't none no more
All the things that used to worry me       
Don't worry me like before    


Verse two
My best friend got his feet nicely under     
A table that I bought     
So now I quit my job cos I aint gotta      
buy that stuff no more   

Now I ain't got no lying best friends          
Trying a take what I ain't got           
Cos I ain't got no money     
Or no woman to break my heart    


Chorus
(My) best friend,  my woman and my money  
Used to worry me before      
All the things that used to worry me       
Don't worry me no more       
 
I had a woman, a best friend and my money  
Now I ain't none no more
All the things that used to worry me       
Don't worry me like before    


Verse 3
People ask me how I'm doing
I say "I'm doing fine"
No woman best friend money
Is a weight off of my mind

I know they don't believe me
But I'm as happy as a calm
Now I don't know how happy clams is
But I know I am, cos. ...


Chorus
(My) best friend,  my woman and my money  
Used to worry me before      
All the things that used to worry me       
Don't worry me no more       
 
I had a woman, a best friend and my money  
Now I ain't none no more
All the things that used to worry me       
Don't worry me like before

Another good one you have here...

Sometimes, I find "ain't got no" and "don't worry me no more" type phrases a little forced, but it sounds really natural here and fits in with the wry, personable storytelling...

Nice work!

I think this is a quality write,a couple of reads and it's in the head,
"I had a woman,a best friend and SOME money",i think the word SOME
gives the first line some more power,
                                                    top write,Tom.

Good lyrics Paul, first verse made me laugh and the rest followed up nicely. Got me reaching for the old 59 les Paul - oh! I ain't got one no more 😏
