Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. I was a sailor, I was lost in sea I was under the waves, before love rescued me I was a fighter I could turn on a threat Now I stand accused of the things I've said. When love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, But I did what I did before love came to town. Used to make love under a red sunset, I was making promises I was soon to forget. She was pale as the lace of her wedding gown, But I left her standing before love came to town. Ran into a juke joint when I heard a guitar scream, The notes were turning blue when I fell into a dream As the music played I saw my life turn around That was the day before love came to town. Love comes to town, I'm gonna jump that train When love comes to town, I'm gonna catch that flame. Maybe I was wrong to ever let you down, But I did what I did before love came to town. I was there when they crucified my lord I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword I threw the dice when they pierced his side, But I've seen love conquer the great divide. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... |

Worry worry worry Worry is all I can do Oh worry worry worry baby Worry is all I can do Oh my life is so miserable baby Baby, and its all on account of you You hurt me so bad baby When you said we were through Oh you hurt me You know you hurt me so bad baby When you said we were through Oh but I would rather be dead baby Then to be here so alone and blue Someday baby Oh...someday baby Oh! Someday baby Oh! Oh! Oh oh yes Oh! Someday baby "Ladies. I said ladies...Ladies if you got a man and the man don't do like you think he should...ladies you don't hurt 'im. I SAID DON'T YOU HURT HIM! Man happens to be God's gift to women! So ladies you must know that the man is already grown so you can't raise him over again. So the thing to do is THROW YOUR ARMS AROUND HIM! HOLD HIM CLOSE TO YOU! LOOK HIM STRAIGHT IN THE EYES! And then you tell him... You tell him, you say "now baby you been messing up, but I know you gonna do me better." And when he look at you as if he wanna know when, then you tell him..."Someday baby." And if it seem like he's hard of hearing or not paying you much attention or something do like you ladies are known to do....Put your hands on your hips and then you say it again...OW! He have to be a mighty hard hearted person not to listen to you. But I don't think it's fair to just talk to the ladies, I think I should say a few words to the men too. So fellas...I SAID FELLAS! Fellas if you got a woman and the lady don't do like you think she should, Don't you be goin' upside of her head now. You know what I'm talkin' about, don't you be beatin' on her. The judgement's much cheaper if you don't beat her. And you see if you hurt her you only do one thing...I said if youhurt her you only do one thing! You make her a little smarter and she won't let you catch her the next time. So the thing to do is THROW YOUR ARMS around the pretty little thing! Now listen to me, listen to me...I don't care if she weigh thirty-two and a half pounds wet or five hundred and fifty pounds on her feet. If she's your lady and you dig her, than she's your pretty little thing...AND THEN YOU TELL HER! You say "Baby! Baby I don't care what they say about you on the next block, your my little lady and I dig you. Let em talk, let 'em say what they want to say" And fellas, you must know too that the ladies, God bless their sweet little souls, ladies happen to be God's gift to man too fellas. You all agreed? You better say it cause your wife is listening. But there's just one more thing I must say to you fellas, just one more thing. Don't be too proud to beg. I SAID DON'T BE TOO PROUD TO BEG! If you have to fall down on your knees to let your woman know that you love her, go on down there! ...I can see some of you cats got dirty minds in the place this evening...WHAT I'M TRYIN' TO SAY, LADIES LOVE TO HEAR THEIR MEN SAY "BABY I LOVE YOU!" Don't you ladies? I SAID LADIES LOVE TO HEAR THEIR MEN SAY "BABY I LOVE YOU!" Don't you ladies? SO FELLAS TELL YOUR LADY THAT YOU LOVE HER! ...She might think you're lying though. TELL YOUR LADY THAT YOU LOVE HER even if you are lying. But seriously speaking, when I goof, when I goof I usually slide up to my woman and I look straight at her...I have to get my look first...I usually say I look like a little puppy begging for that last bone you been holding out on. I look straight at her and I say "BABY! ...Please forgive me honey!" And then I wait a few minutes to see how she take it. AND THEN I SAY "BABY! ...Please forgive me honey!" And then I stand back far enough so that when she swings I can duck...AND THEN I SAY "BABY! You know when I goofed last week I was high..."If she let me get away with that then I look at her real pitifull like this....Say "baby, honey you know when you're high it don't count. " AND THEN I TELL HER, I say "if you forgive me honey I'm gonna do better."And if she look at me as if she wanna know when then I tell her "SOMEDAY BABY..." Yes someday, baby When the blood runs cold in my veins Someday, baby When the blood runs cold in my veins You know you won't be able to hurt me no more baby 'Cause my heart won't feel no pain |
