Nine Below Zero - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Ain't this a pity?

People need sit down and cry in shame

Oh yes, ain't this a pity?

People need to sit down and cry in shame

Well you know it's nine below zero

And this woman done put me down for another man

I gave her all my money

All my lovin' and everything

Yes, I gave her all my money

All my lovin' and everything

Well you know it's nine below zero

And she done put me down for another man

She lied to me

She did not tell me everything

Oh yeah, oh yeah, she lied to me

The little girl didn't tell me everything

Well you know I'm nine below zero

And she put me down for another man

Ain't this a pity?

People need sit down and cry in shame

Oh yes, ain't this a pity?

People need to sit down and cry in shame

She waited 'til it got nine below zero

And this little girl done put me down for another man

(Somebody gotta help me now)

(I can't do it by myself)

I'm gonna retire down in Luisiana

Layin' out there in the pourin' rain, in the swamps too

I'm gonna retire down in Luisiana

Layin' out there in the pourin' rain

You know it's nine below zero here in Chicago

And my love don't mean a thing
