I can see her lyin’ back in her SATIN dress In a room where ya do what ya don’t confess Sundown ya better take care If I find you been creepin’ ‘round my back stairs Sundown ya better take care If I find you been creepin’ ‘round my back stairs She’s been lookin’ like a queen in a sailor’s dream And she don’t always say what she really means Sometimes I think it’s a shame When I get feelin’ better when I’m feelin’ no pain Sometimes I think it’s a shame When I get feelin’ better when I’m feelin’ no pain I can picture every move that a man could make Getting lost in her lovin’ is your first mistake Sundown ya better take care If I find you been creepin’ ‘round my back stairs Sometimes I think it’s a sin When I feel like I’m winnin’ when I’m losin again ---

I look at you all see the love there that’s sleeping While my guitar gently weeps I look at the floor and I see it needs sweeping Still my guitar gently weeps I don’t know why nobody told you How to unfold your love I don’t know how someone controlled you They bought and sold you I look at the world and I notice it’s turning While my guitar gently weeps With every mistake we must surely be learning Still my guitar gently weeps ---

Saturday night I was downtown Working for the FBI Sittin’ in a nest of bad men Whiskey bottles piling high Bootlegging boozer on the west side Full of people who are doing wrong Just about to call up the DA man When I heard this woman sing a song A pair of .45’s made me open my eyes My temperature started to rise She was a long cool woman in a black dress Just-a 5’9, beautiful, tall With just one look I was a bad mess 'Cause that long cool woman had it all ---

Okay, I can see it now it’s all the same thing Just different wrapping around it No need to soften your words, they’re still gonna hurt So don’t pull punches I tried to be everything you’d ever want And sometimes I even stood on my heart and stomped Now I’m finally alone and dressed for the show But going nowhere They don’t need to see me crying I’ll get my little black dress on And if I put on my favorite song I’m gonna dance until you’re all gone I’ll get my little black dress on ---

Clean shirt, new shoes and I don’t know where I am goin’ to. Silk suit, black tie, I don’t need a reason why. They come runnin’ just as fast as they can coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. Gold watch, diamond ring, I ain’t missin’ a single thing. And cufflinks, stick pin, when I step out I’m gonna do you in. They come runnin’ just as fast as they can coz every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed man. ---

Give Blood But you may find that blood is not enough Give blood And there are some who say it’s not enough Give blood But don’t expect to ever see reward Give blood You can give it all but still you’re asked for more Give blood But it could cost more than your dignity Give blood Parade your pallor in iniquity Give blood They will cry and say they’re in your debt Give blood But then they’ll sigh and they will soon forget So give love and keep blood between brothers So give love and keep blood between brothers ---

We played king of the mountain out on the end The world come chargin’ up the hill, and we were women and men Now there’s so much that time, time and memory fade away We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take We stood side by side each one fightin’ for the other We said until we died we’d always be blood brothers Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away Makin’ a fool’s joke out of the promises we make And what once seemed black and white turns to so many shades of gray We lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay And it’s a ride, ride, ride, and there ain’t much cover With no one runnin’ by your side my blood brother [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=170) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/game-speak-to-me-only-in-song-lyrics/658502.md?page=172)
