Robert Cray - The Definitive Collection [compilation] (2007) by Robert Cray (보컬) on maniadb.com

I get a constant busy signal when I call you on the phone
I get a strong uneasy feeling you're not sitting there alone
I'm having nasty nasty visions and baby you're in every one, yeah
And I'm so afraid I'm gonna find you with a still hot and smokin gun

Maybe you want to end it, you've had your fill of my kind of fun
But you don't know how to tell me and you know that I'm not that dumb
I put 2 and 1 together and you know that's not an easy sum
And I know just where to find you with a still hot and smokin gun

I'm standing here bewildered, I can't remember just what I've done
I can hear the sirens whining, my eyes blinded by the sun
I know that I should be running, my heart's beating just like a drum
Now they've knocked me down and takin it, a still hot and smokin gun

Yeah still hot and smokin gun
Yes they've taken it
Still hot and smokin gun
Oh they've taken it
Still hot and smokin gun
Knocked me down, taken it

I paid the clerk and moved right in
A single room with one big twin
There's a chest and mirror
Shower's down the hall
Room 16 ain't got no view
But the hot plate's brand new

I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her

Once again I've been burned
My suspicion's been confirmed
I saw her having lunch
With some new guy
I walked up and said, "Goodbye"
She said, "Wait, can we talk tonight?"

I guess I showed her
Mmmm, I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her that a man, yeah
Has his limits

Another man is where I draw the line
She can have the house
And everything that's in it
I guess I showed her, yeah
I guess I showed her

She will be surprised
When she comes in tonight
Flips on the light
And finds an empty home
Yeah, every time she's lied
Will flash before her eyes

I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah
I guess I showed her
I guess I showed her, yeah, yeah
I guess I showed her

Now she can have the house
And she can keep the car
I'm just satisfied
Staying in this funky, little old motel
I'm so mad
Well I can't stand it
I can't stand it
Nooooooo!

I can hear the couple fighting right next door
Their angry words sound clear through these thin walls
Around midnight I hear him shout unfaithful woman
And I knew right there the axe was gonna fall

It's because of me
It's because of me

I heard him shout who is he, she mumbled low
He said baby don't you lie to me no more
And I'm listening through these thin walls silently
As he called out my name I was right next door

It's because of me
It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
That she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

At daybreak I hear him back and say goodbye
I can hear him slam the door and walk away
Right next door I hear that woman start to cry
I should go to her but what would I say

It's because of me
It's because of me

She was right next door and I'm such a strong persuader
That she was just another notch on my guitar
She's gonna lose the man that really loves her
In the silence I can hear their breaking hearts

Not a day goes by
That a man doesn't have to choose
Between what he wants
What he's afraid to lose

Along comes temptation
And he can't refuse, no
I know the difference 'tween wrong and right
Don't make no difference in the middle of the night

Take the bait, you pay the price
It's much too late for good advice
You know and I know
That our good thing's through

Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you

I was smokin' and drinkin'
And thinkin' when you walked by
The next thing I knew
I was making up my alibi, yes I was

And all I've done since then
Is lie, lie, lie
I took my chances had a real good time
But I'd give my soul for a little piece of mind

To tell the truth
Is a big mistake
Homes will crumble and hearts will break
Baby, why gamble when there's so much to lose?

Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you

Oh, listen baby
It's just common sense
Sooner or later
We're gonna suffer the consequences

Tell the truth
And pay the price
I did not listen to Mama's good advice
You know and I know that our good thing's through

Because there's consequences for what we do
Consequences for me and you

Consequences of the things that we do
Consequences for me and you, yeah

We're gonna have to pay the price, baby
Yeah
We're gonna suffer the consequences
Yeah

For hot lovin'
On the side
Yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Consequences, baby

Hot lovin'
On the side

I get the blues in the mornin'
So bad, I scare myself
My hair is turnin' gray so fast
I'm worried about my health

And I shiver all over, I shiver all over
I shiver all over, 'cause I ain't got you, hmm

I'm burnin' with a fever
My stomach's twisted up in knots
My blood's pressure's runnin' up so high
I know it's gonna stop my heart

And I shiver all over, I shiver all over
I shiver all over, 'cause I ain't got you, hmm

I've got spots all over my body
I wear shades 'cause my eyes are red
I got a headache that just won't go away
It's a wonder that I'm not dead

I got spots all over my body
I wear shades 'cause my eyes are red
I got a headache that just won't go away
It's a wonder that I'm not dead

My doctor looked at my condition
He said, "Oh, Bob, you look all a mess
There ain't a thing that I can do about you
But you can sure use a whole lot of rest"

And I shiver all over, I shiver all over
I can't even sleep at night, 'cause I ain't got you, hmm
I ain't got you

No, no, no
No, no, no
No, no, no
