Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
Well, I rolled and I tumbled
Cried the whole night long
When I woke up this morning
Didn’t know right or wrong
Well, if the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
If the river was a whiskey
And I was a diving duck
Well, I would dive to the bottom
I’d swear, I’d never come up
I’m so tired,
My mind is set on you
I’m so-o-o tired…
I wonder should I call you,
But I know what you would do…
I can’t sleep at night, tossing and turning
I turn on the light then while it’s burning
I think of all the things that we do
And all the reasons why I love you
Tossing and turning
I’m tossing and turning all night
I can’t get to sleep
I think about the implication
Of diving in too deep
And possibly the complications
Especially at night
I worry over situations
I know will be alright
Perhaps it’s just imagination
In the dime stores and bus stations,
People talk of situations,
Read books, repeat quotations,
Draw conclusions on the wall.
Some speak of the future,
My love she speaks softly,
She knows there’s no success like failure
And that failure’s no success at all.
Blue eyed dressed for every situation
Moving through the doorway of a nation
Pick me up and shake the doubt
Baby, I can’t do without
Don’t mess around
You bring me down
How you get about
Don’t make a sound
Just move out
In the twilight glow, I see them
Blue eyes crying in the rain
When we kissed goodbye and parted
I knew we’d never meet again
Blue eyes holding back the tears
Holding back the pain
Baby’s got blue eyes
And she’s alone
Again
Down on the corner by the traffic light,
Everybody’s lookin’ as she goes by.
They turn their heads, and they watch her 'til she’s gone…
Lord have mercy, Baby’s got her blue jeans on.
Baby’s Got Her Blue Jeans On – Mel McDaniel
-“BB”-
Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes walking
And when she passes
Each one she passes goes, “Ah”
Pretty woman, walking down the street
Pretty woman, the kind I’d like to meet
Pretty woman, I don’t believe you
You’re not the truth
No one could look as good as you
Mercy!
I want her
And I need her
And someday, someway
Whaoh, I’ll meet her
She’ll be kind of shy
And real good-looking too
And I’ll be certain she’s the one
By the things she likes to do
Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love
(The things we do for love)
Un-break my heart
Say you’ll love me again
Undo this hurt you caused
When you walked out the door
Don’t go breakin’ my heart…
My love, my love has passed me by…
Why do you have to be a heartbreaker? (heart)
Is it a lesson that I never knew
Got to get out of the spell that I’m under
I gotta admit that I’m a little bit confused
Sometimes it seems to me as if I’m just being used
Gotta stay awake, gotta try and shake off this creeping malaise
If I don’t stand my own ground, how can I find my way out of this maze?
Yes, I wanna spread the news
That if it feels this good gettin’ used
Oh, you just keep on usin’ me
Until you use me up
Use Me – Bill Withers
-“BB”-
But well I’m gonna show you, baby
That a woman can be tough
I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby
(Oh, oh, break a-)
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Oh, oh, have a-)
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby
Well you know you got it if it makes you feel good
Oh, yes indeed
I would walk ten miles on my hands and knees
Ain’t no doubt about it, baby, it’s you I aim to please
I’d wrestle with a lion and a grizzly bear
It’s my life, baby, but I don’t care
Ain’t that tough enough
