When Mom and Papa first laid eyes |
|
On me right from the start |
|
They knew right away a lover was born |
|
I'd be breakin' lovers' hearts |
|
(Breakin' lovers' hearts) |
|
At a very early age, yeah, I began to show sign |
|
That a stone cold lover was born |
|
Lord, I'm gonna let it shine, yeah |
|
(I'm gonna let it shine, yeah) |
|
Girl, if I can't love you |
|
A reel can make gumbo |
|
A drunken man don't stumble |
|
A seein'-eye dog can learn to lead the blind |
|
A bee don't deal in honey |
|
The Beatles ain't got no money |
|
And watermelons grow on a grapevine |
|
One day my papa told me |
|
?Son, sit down, I gotta talk to you |
|
Said, don't believe I can't understand |
|
I've been through the same thing too? |
|
Said, ?You think you're pretty hot stuff |
|
And you dig every girl you see |
|
But listen, son, settle for one |
|
It'll save a lotta misery in the long run? |
|
If that don't get it, sonny |
|
There ain't no corpse in the dawn |
|
There ain't no birds in a home |
|
And you can get black from a turnip |
|
If you squeeze and squeeze |
|
Tears don't go with the blues |
|
Chicken wear high-heeled shoes |
|
And Old McDonald's farm didn't have no trees |
|
I'm gonna take my papa's advice |
|
Though it's gonna be hard to do |
|
I'm gonna stop tryin' to prove a point |
|
I'm gonna give myself to you, girl |
|
If I fear you, baby |
|
Ain't no leaps in a frog |
|
There ain't no bumps on a log |
|
And you can get black from a turnip |
|
If you squeeze and squeeze |
|
A new cow don't give milk |
|
A egg don't got no yolk |
|
And I'd pull side of pole right out of tree, yeah |
|
Baby |
