That's What I Heard (2020) - (as Robert Cray Band)

Anything You Want lyrics - Robert Cray Band

I'll do anything you want me to

If you're diggin' having me around

I'll do anything you want me too

But, what I don't wanna do is leave this town

Some folks say I got an attitude

But when I'm with you it seems to settle down

I sure would like to get next to you

But, what I don't wanna do is leave this town

Now, here's a fact I discovered that

Doesn't really have to be this way

Messed up your life baby once or twice

And I know that there's a price to pay hey, hey

I don't ever want to get sad or blue

You and me we need to settle down

I'll do anything you want me to

But, what I don't wanna do is leave this town

It's a fact I discovered that

Doesn't really have to be this way

Messed up your life baby once or twice

And I know that there's a price to pay yeah

Don't ever want to get ya sad or blue

You and me we need to settle down

I'll do anything you want me to

But, what I don't wanna do is leave this town

No, no

This Man lyrics - Robert Cray Band

Who is this man

In our house

Who is this man

Better get him out

We've got a problem

He's gotta go

He don't leave

Can't live here no more

If we wanna save our home

We need to get him out

When I come home from work

There he is again

Talkin' loud, talkin' trash

And it's always something bout him

Every things out of place

It just don't belong

Can't get no sleep

Cause he's up on the phone

If we wanna save our home

We need to get him out

Who is this man

In our house

Who is this man

We need to get him out

He had to have help

How the hell he'd get in

Now he's walking around

Like he's a big king

If we're gonna save our home

We need to get him out

Get him out

You'd better get him out

Get him out

We need to get him out

Get him out

Need to get him out

Get him out

We need to get him out

Get him out

Oh, we need to get him out

Get him out

Get him, get him out

Get him out

You'll Want Me Back lyrics - Robert Cray Band

You don't care for me at all

I found that you only stayed to make me feel so very small

Though you don't love me now

I kinda feel some way some how

It's gonna be too late

There you go again

Hurtin' me in front of all our wonderful friends

Baby, I've been good to you

Better treat me like you used to do

It's gonna be too late

I'll see you run, run, run

Run on baby

You're gonna cry, cry, cry

Run on baby

But it's too late

Baby, bye bye

Too late

And I'll see you run, run, run

Run on baby

You're gonna cry, cry, cry

Oh, baby

But it's too late

Baby, bye bye

Hot lyrics - Robert Cray Band

Ain't no time for reminiscing

Not me sir, thanks a lot

All the huggin' and the kissin'

Ya think you got me pegged

Cause you see the snow on top

But, you can ask my baby

You don't know diddly squat

You can ask my baby

Ask my baby

You can ask my baby

She'll tell ya I'm the only one

She like the way I turn up the heat

She'll tell ya, she'll tell ya, I can't repeat

Don't play it cool, don't be a fool

I'm hot! I've been to school

Hey, hey, hey

Promises You Can Keep lyrics - Robert Cray Band

Let me down easy

Please string me along

I've got to maintain my habit, oh, girl

Of your love and your love alone

Cause my love for you is so deep

Seems like all I do is moan and weep

Going crazy over promises you can't keep

You can't keep

Now here I am at the point of no return

Lovin' you is like a slow burn

It's like a furnace without no coal

Oh, Lord it's like you're throwing dirt on my soul

Cause my love for you is so deep

Seems like all I do is moan and weep

I'm losing sleep over promises you can't keep

You can't keep

Oh, it's time to be moving on

Because I've been getting no love for so long

There's no other way it could have gone

Cause my love for you is so deep

Seems like all I do is moan and weep

Losing sleep over promises you can't keep

Promises you can't keep

Promises you can't keep, no

Promises you can't keep

Promises, promises,

Promises, promises you can't keep

Promises, promises,

Promises you can't keep

Promises, promises

You can't keep

To Be With You lyrics - Robert Cray Band

If I could do anything

I would do everything for you

And if I could go anywhere

The place I'd be is right here with you

When you need just call my name

Together we can make the world just fade away

Or maybe I'm not in your plans

But I wanna wanna wanna

Wanna be with you

If there's a way someday somehow

You would be my dream come true

Please don't walk away right now

Cause I wanna wanna wanna

Wanna be with you

Cause I wanna wanna wanna

Wanna be with you

Can't Make Me Change lyrics - Robert Cray Band

You can't make me change

How I feel today

You can waive your hand

Just push me away

Your love brought me here

Thought we had a deal

Now you change your mind

I need time to heal

You can call me names

That I expect from you

But, there's just one thing

For you do what you do

You can't make me change

How I feel about you

You taught me a lesson

Cause before I was just guessin'

That you were mine

All mine alone

But I found out

That you were out messin' me around

I didn't know

When you tell lies

You're tellin' on yourself

I'm already hurt now baby

Uh, thanks for your help

But, you can't make me change

How I feel about you, you, you

You taught me a lesson

Cause before I was just guessin'

That you were mine

All mine alone

I found out

You were out messin' me around

And I didn't really know

Oh, when you tell lies

You're telling on yourself

I'm already hurt now baby

Huh, thanks for your help

But, you can't make me change

Can't make me change

How I feel about you

No, no, you can't make me change

How I feel about you

You can't make me change

How I feel about you

No, no

A Little Less Lonely lyrics - Robert Cray Band

When she first left me

Didn't know what I'd do

Put up a road block

So, no one got through

Then I struck lucky

When I met you

May not be love

But, I think it will do

And, oh, how I cry

Thought that I would die

No longer one and only

It may not be love

But it's a little less lonely

Now I see

You every few days

We're not much on talking

Words get it the way

But I can't wait

Things that we do

May not be love

But, I think it's the truth

Oh, how I cry

Thought that I would die

No longer one and only

It may not be love

But it's a little less lonely

Some day

You'll want a little bit more

Right now I'm not ready

To open up that door

But, don't break my heart

Say that we're through

May not be love

It ain't love

May not be love

Ain't love

May not be love

No, it ain't

It ain't love

No, it ain't love

No, no

But, I think it will do

Do It lyrics - Robert Cray Band

The Same Love That Made Me Laugh lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Your love is like a chunk of gold

Mhmmm, mhmmm

Hard to get and hard to hold

Mhmmm, mhmmm

Like a rose that's soft to touch

Mhmmm, mhmmm

Love has thorns that hurts so much

Mhmmm, mhmmm

Well, then why-y-y-y

Must the same love that makes you laugh

Make you cry?

Well, now you think of love as a great big mountain

Think of love as a great big rock

Won't you think before you started to rolling down

Because once you start, you know you can't stop

I'm giving all that I have to give

And if you don't want my love, I don't want to live

Well, then why-y-y-y

Must the same love that makes you laugh

Make you cry?

Why you wanna make me cry?

Why you wanna make me cry,

Girl?

You Must Believe In Yourself lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

I was afraid

All my life

Yes I was!

'Cause a big inch part of my twous

Was the darkness of the night, yeah

I've grown wise enough

Wise enough to realize

That you must believe in yourself, yeah

The call of the needs

That's been given to you, yes

Reproduce the most that make

A mend for something new, yeah

'Cause, you gotta survive

You can make it if you try

You must believe in yourself

(That's what you gotta do now!)

Yeah!

I'm gonna wear

A golden robe

Yes I am!

'Cause I've learned to respect myself

And work round before my ghost

Yes I did!

So I've got, got my game

I've been doing my own thing

You must believe in yourself

That's what you gotta do now!

You must believe in yourself

What you gotta do

You must believe in yourself

Believe in yourself

I Don't Care lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Now what's the difference in rain or sunshine

With a broken heart?

Now who cares about winter or summer

When your soul's torn apart?

I don't care if the sun don't shine no more

I don't care if the world falls off the globe

That girl of mine confound my soul

She upped and left this morning

And shook all of her clothes and that's why

I don't care if the sun don't shine no more

I don't care if the world falls off the globe

She was my bread and water

In my time of thirst

My lawyer, my doctor, my everything lord

Anytime it hurts

I don't care if the sun don't shine no more

I don't care if the world falls off the globe

She even took the picture

I had hanging on the family tree

She took off the ring I bought

and put it in the dressing drawer and that's why

I don't care if the sun don't shine no more

I don't care if the world falls off the globe

I don't care

(I don't care)

If the sun refuse to shine

(I don't care)

I don't care

(I don't care)

If the moon don't come out at night

(I don't care)

She wrote me a letter

Left on the side of the bed

The only line I had to read

Was "Here's your door key, I don't need it!"

I don't care if the sun don't shine no more

I don't care if the world falls off the globe

I don't care

(I don't care)

If the sun don't come out today

(I don't care)

I don't care

(I don't care)

If the moon don't come out tonight

(I don't care)

I don't care

(I don't care)

I don't care

(I don't care)

Aspen, Colorado lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

I was born into, a simple life

It didn't take much to satisfy me

Then there came a time when I knew

I had to leave

Tried to get a job in Alabama

But the man said he didn't need no one today

I made my way down to Memphis

And I stayed a few days

Got a letter from my mama

She said "Boy, won't you try to come on home?"

And daddy said "We'd give you all the land,

For your own, please, come on home"

But there comes a time in everybody's life

When you have to search for peace in mind

I might go to Aspen, Colorado

Spend some time

I hear that it's fine

Ohh, when the leaves fall and start turning

And one fall softly to the ground

I have thoughts of other places

Some new towns

To be found

Just How Low lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Why you wanna pull us down and separate

We come with all kinds of customs and colors and features

That's what makes our country great

United, do you know what that means?

Why you wanna go around from town to town

Dousing us with gasoline

One never knows

Just how low

Someone might go

You called out the president, cause you didn't like

His name (Huh!)

You had a fit, said he wasn't legit, made him

Show his birth certificate

You could be a hero, then maybe not

So if you go to war you better make sure

That you never get caught

One never knows

Just how low

Someone might go

How you gonna fix this mess, that you created?

Why you wanna raise up the dead?

If you are not a "10" or you're disabled

You'll just never forget all that he's said

Oh, if you wanna build a wall, build it around

Yourself

Then you can sit up in your tower

And we'll all have a toast to your health

One never knows

Just how low

Someone might go, ooh

One never knows

Just how low

Someone might go

One never knows

Just how low

Someone might go

Ooh

You Had My Heart lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Why would you leave

Breaking us apart

I can't believe you want to go, you've had my mind,

You've got my soul

You had my heart

Darling, I've been good to you

I know you know that I am not lyin'

What can do, what can I say to you

All I know is I'll never stop tryin'

To make you stay

To make a brand new start

Down the road, I think you'll find

You had my heart

Ohh, what didn't I do for you

Please let me know, cause my heart's dyin'

I know that we can work things through

Please, may I have a little more time

And I'll prove to you

What things are,

And what things aren't

Down the road I know you'll find

You had my heart

I'm With You, Pt. 1 lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

In case you wanna know how I feel about you darlin'

I just wanna let you know

That I'm with you

Just as long as there's water in the ocean

Just as long as the sun sets

Just as long as fire burns, babe

Just as long as water is wet, baby

Oh yes I am

But just as long

As you want me

Honey Bad lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Can't cook my breakfast

She can't sweeten my tea

But all she's got to do now

Is play house with me

'Cause I can cook my own eggs and ham

Gets my supper from a can

'Cause honey's bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

I said, she's bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

When my day is done

I wanna have a little fun

Oh, I call my honey, baby

On the cellphone

'Cause she knows how to ring my bell,

She does things I dare not tell

'Cause honey's bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

I said, she's bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

She does everything she possibly can

To try to please me, and make everything alright

That's why I love the crazy name

I like to see the pretty smile

On a pretty little face oh yeah yeah

My honey's bad

She got a credit card, yes

All she's got to do is charge

She may take it back now, yeah

'Cause she living too large

But, oh, when she crawls those long legs

I forget about what I said

Honey bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

I said, she's bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

I said she's bad

She can't cook my breakfast

Ooh, it makes me scratch my head

Oh, I don't wanna see her pretty hands

And no greasy possum pants

'Cause honey bad

Oh, she's bad

My honey's bad

Said she's bad

Oh, she's bad

The Way We Are lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Turn around and close the door

Shed your sadness to the floor

Doesn't matter what's been said

That's just the way we are

Never mind who's wrong or right

Cause we're together here tonight

And what be brought into the light

Makes us the way we are

Love has a way of always

Testing you

We've built a home of trust, we can always

Come back to

Can you imagine us today?

If all our dreams were locked away

And we weren't strong enough to say

That's just the way we are

Love has a way of always

Testing you

We've built a home of trust, we can always

Come back to

Imagine us today

If all our dreams were locked away

And we weren't strong enough to say

That's just the way we are

And together we will stay

The way we are

Way we are

Don't Steal My Love lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

Don't steal my love like a thief in the night

Don't lure me in the dark searching for your light

If you take from me, give something in return

Don't be so cold, baby, while my fire burns

Touch me like the wind, slip right through my hands

Don't take my seeds from me and leave me like some mellow land

If you take from me, give something in return

Don't be so cold, baby, while my fire burns

Don't steal my love

Don't steal it

When my night is over and the morning's on my face

Go from me softly, leave without a trace

Don't take my heart with you

Don't take my soul with you

Don't steal my love

Don't steal it

I'm With You, Pt. 2 lyrics - Robert Cray & Hi Rhythm

(Yeah)

Just as long

I'm with you

I'm with you darlin'

"In My Soul" (2014) (as THE ROBERT CRAY BAND)

You Move Me lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

When you come near
My eyes are glue
You've got control of me
It's sure an' hard to see
I'm just a fool

Oh you move me
You know you move me, baby
Oh you move me
Oh-o-oh you move me

You make me weak
It's hard to walk
And when you speak to me
I answer back to you in baby talk

Oh you move me
You know you move me, baby
Oh you move me
Oh-o-oh you move me

I'm not confessing to nothing
But you don't already know
Let me tell you something
Don't you ever never let me go
Oh no

I'm not confessing to nothing
But you don't already know
Let me tell you something
Don't you ever never let me go
Oh no

I've lost my mind
Got no regrets
Because I know for sure
That I don't need a cure
You can surely bet

Cause you move me
You know you move me baby
Oh you move me
Oh-o-oh you move me

The way you speak
You move me
The way you walk
And all the way you do your things
Really move me babe
Ahhh
You move me, babe
You move me
Ahhh
You move me
You got me doing things
I don't ever do
Move me
Oh, yes

Nobody's Fault But Mine lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

I couldn't love you your way
Still you came to see me day by day.
But now I miss you all the time,
No heart can't be sad as mine
Ain't nobody's fault but mine!

What will I do tomorrow?
Warren down and suffering with my sorrow
Crying ain't gonna help me now
I made a mistake anyhow,
Ain't nobody's fault but mine!

One day I've got to pay for my mistakes, hey
By and by, by and by
It's gonna carry me straight to my great rule
By and by, by and by

Instead of you tryin' to spend my money
Yet your favorite word is “come in, honey!”
I was just a dog on fool, trying to be some dog on cool
Ain't nobody's fault but mine! Yeah!
I did it, yeah!
Made a big mistake, ya, it's nobody's fault!
Nobody's fault but mine!
I did! Something wrong to the girl
Nobody's fault but mine,
I made a big mistake, mistake
It's nobody's fault but mine!
Nobody's fault but mine
I did it, did, myself!

Fine Yesterday lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

I was fine yesterday
What made you think that you could do that?
Summer shinin'. Rain so hard
I just had to scream, I never knew a storm so rough
Never knew a person so mean
Maybe by mornin' this will all go fume
And I'll pick up the pieces of my life
And forget about you

Cause I was fine yesterday
What made you think that you could do that?
Someone showed you? Wasn't anyone
I had no clue, I know that you're not sorry babe
By the things that you do
Same ol' winds, same one blew in today
Gonna change the direction, find you something

Wasn't any one, I had no clue,
No, you're not sorry, baby
Same ol' winds, same ones that blew in today
They're gonna change the direction, find you something
I was fine yesterday, said I was fine
Sun was shining

Your Good Thing's About To Come To An End lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

I don't have to beg you to hold me
'Cause somebody else will
You don't have to love me when I want it,
'Cause somebody else will

Your best friends say you don't need it
When all the time they're tryin' to get it
I said, look out, your good thing
Is about to come to an end
Talking about your real good thing
Is about to come to an end

All those nights I watched the four walls
I didn't have to watch 'em all alone
Everyone was said they wanted me, baby
I didn't have to tell them I was
Your very own

You have all the love that I've got baby
Even ice melts to water and gets hot
I said, you better look out, look out your good thing
Is about to come to an end, hey baby
Talking about your real good thing
It's about to end

Gettin' myself back together
She gonna be a big problem I know
But when the right man says she wants me
You can bet I won't say no

You better look out your good thing
Is about to come to an end, hey baby
Talking about your real good thing
Is about to come to an end

I Guess I'll Never Know lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

I saw her from across the room
Most have been a full moon
She was so fine

Felt like electric shock
Something that I couldn't stop
My heart went blind

How could you leave me, where did you go
One thing's clear, you don't love me no more
Packed up your secrets and you walked out the door
Left me wondering, but I guess I'll never know

But the suspicion, is it my intuition, that's what they say
Mama tried to save me, gonna make me see the truth
But I pushed her away, yes I did

How could you leave me, where did you go
One thing's clear, you don't love me no more
Packed up your secrets and you walked out the door
And left me wondering, but I guess I'll never know

I'll never know if you really loved me
I wanna know, did someone take my place
What don't kill me will surely make me stronger
But you broke my heart, took my pride
And now you want some space

How could you leave me, where did you go
One thing's sure, you don't love me no more
You packed up your secrets and you walked out the door
Left me wondering, but I guess I'll never know

Guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know
I guess I'll never know

Hold On lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

Woman, I've had quite a day
I got caught up, lost in the freight
All that I can think about is coming home to you
I'm on my way, said I'm on my way

I've got to hold on to this thing
This love between me and you
I'm about to lose my mind
Out here counting highway signs
And all that I can think about is coming home to you
I'm on my way, said I'm on my way

I've got to hold on to this thing
This love between me and you
Whenever it seems that this world is closing in on me

Never was a golden boy, the one who got the girl
When you finally made your choice, you really changed my world
I was lost before, but now y'know that I'm found
And all that I can think about is coming home to you

I've got to hold on to this thing
This love between me and you
Whenever it seems that this world is closing in on me

I've got to hold on to this thing
This love between me and you
Whenever it seems that this world is closing in on me

I've got to hold on to this thing
This love between me and you
Whenever it seems that this world is closing in on me

What Would You Say lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

What would you say, to people everywhere,
Out in the street alone?
One of these days, you'll turn out the light,
In some place to call your own.

What would you say, if we cured all disease?
I've got a right to dream.
One of these days and I hope it ain't long,
I know you'll all agree.

What would you say?
What would you say?
Can we do that?
What would you say?

What would you say, if we quit waging war,
And children fell safe asleep?
One of these days we may all learn to talk,
Over a table with something to eat.

What would you say?
What would you say?
Can we do that?
What would you say?
Can we do that?
Can we do that?
No, we can't
What would you say?
What would you say?

You're Everything lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

To me you're everything
To me you're everything

I was alone and thought that I was doing alright
'Cause every day was always the same
Just when I thought nothing was ever gonna change
You came along and you put me back in the game
To me you're everything

To me you're everything
I need you, babe, in every way

It's a wonderful feeling having you all to myself
You got me grinning from ear to ear
You say being alone is not good for your health
But you change my world like no one else
To me you're everything

There's not a thing I wouldn't do for you
Call me morning, noon, and night
Whatever it is you do sure agrees with me
I need you in my life
To me you're everything
You're everything

Hmm, you're everything
Hey, everything to me
I swear I feel I was all alone
About you baby
Everything to me
Everything to me
Everything to me

Deep In My Soul lyrics - The Robert Cray Band

There are some things, I may not know.
Places in this world, I may never go.
But your love to me, means more than gold, oh Lord.
I don't have to wander no more, I can feel it all in my soul.

This way I feel, it must be a thrill.
and I'm so happy to tell you, oh I know your love is real.
For once in my life, I have someone to hold, oh Lord.
I don't have to wander no more, I can feel it all in my soul.

I'll never forget, the hour of the day that you came in to my life
and took all of my loneliness away.
For once in my life, oh Lord I've got someone to hold, oh Lord.
I don't have to wander no more, I can feel it all in my soul.
It's in my soul.
It's deep down in my soul.
And I don't have to wander no more, oh I know your love is real.
It's all in my soul.

"Nothin But Love" (2012)

(Won't Be) Coming Home lyrics - Robert Cray

As her car pulls out the driveway
And she don't wave goodbye
Her last words echo in my mind
Listen honey, I gotta get away

I'm standing here watching her tail lights
As if they're some kind of sign
Fading into a memory
I just got tired of trying

So long, I hate to see you go
So I save my tears for later on down the road
How come I keep on holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home
You won't be coming home

Two days later I get a letter
A picture of a room in some hotel
Sitting framed up on the table,
A picture I know so well
You've painted yourself in to a corner
Now you're trying to paint something new
And your lipstick on the letter
Is a goodbye kiss from you

So long, I hate to see you go
But I save my tears for later on down the road
How come I keep on holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home

I still set the table
Still set it for you and me
It's become a habit
My own personal make believe

So long, I hate to see you go
But I save my tears for later on down the road
How come I keep on holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home

So long, I hate to see you go
But I save my tears for later on down the road
How come I keep on holding on
Knowing you won't be coming home

Worry lyrics - Robert Cray

I like to be real cool
And say it doesn't bother me
But every night she is out, walking' the streets
And I worry

She can lead her live the way that she wants
It is not for me to say, but I worry
It is not for me to say, but I worry

Worry, Worry,
About the world that she lives in
Worry, Worry,
That I could lose her in the end

I keep thinking, that she's okay
But it's driving me crazy
It is not save to be out on the streets
And I worry
She could be lost, the danger is there
There's trouble, trouble everywhere
Trouble, trouble everywhere

Worry, Worry,
About the world that she lives in
Worry, Worry,
That I could lose her in the end

She is not a lover
She is just a friend
I can't ignore it or I just pretend
I can't think of myself and
She's all alone, with no one to wait, for her to come home

She's just a child in every father's eyes
Just can't help it, but I worry
I can't help it, that I worry

Worry, Worry,
About the world that she lives in
Worry, Worry,
That I could lose her in the end

Worry, yeah
I worry
Worry, worry
I worry
Worry
I worry

I'll Always Remember You lyrics - Robert Cray

Transam relations visit my dream
It just won't let me be
They say that it is all over now that she 's gone
The past is why they called up to me
I'm not to lazy to worry
Or to nervous to even steal
But it was never enough for her
Or at least that is how she made me feel

Old clothes and worn out shoes,
Empty bottles and I put this way past due
On the table a note that she had wrote
That said I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you

Old clothes and worn out shoes,
Empty bottles and I put this way past due
On the table a note that she had wrote
That said I'll always remember you
I'll always remember you
Oh I'll always remember you

Side Dish lyrics - Robert Cray

Don't like the fire and forget what you doing
Make you baby mad and start her to stewing
When she starts to boil and knocks some steam
You become a sadist if you know what I mean

Appetize a main course don't you understand yeah
If you don't do your prep you get canned
I love you when something's hard to chew
You become a sadist it could happen to you
(cool rabi, turn up, don't cry french fry, escalo, scalium)

You got to tender your cooking every day and every night, yeah
You got to stir it, season it and check that its alright arggh
It is as simple receipe and it ain't hard to do
You became a sadist you be off the menu
(rock a lady, mashed potato, sellery, onion, carrot, oil after that, you'll be crying)

A Memo lyrics - Robert Cray

I'm gonna warn you
It ain't over yet
Got you out of the hot water
But you steal all long wet
And if you don't pay attention
You get what you deserve
Better do some thinking babe
Remember who it would
Better do some thinking babe
Remember what you loved
Ain't got nothing but love for you yes I do
But were gonna be mom and dad yeah, see us do

I know what you been through
You have it rough
Don't let a fox make you a fool
But enough is enough
And if you don't pay attention
You get what you deserve
Better do some thinking
Remember who it would
Better do some thinking babe
Remember what you loved
Ain't got nothing but love for you yes I do
But were gonna be mom and dad yeah see us do

Better do some thinking babe
Remember who it would
Better do some thinking babe
Remember what it was
Ain't got nothing but love for you yes I do
But were gonna be mom and dad yeah see us two
Ain't got nothing but love for you yes I do
But were gonna be mom and dad yeah see us two
Yeah
See us two, See us do

Blues Get Off My Shoulder lyrics - Robert Cray

There's a cold, cold feelin' 'round my heart
It's trying to get colder
And this heavy heart proves I've been touched by the blues
Blues, get off my shoulder.

Got my heart not speakin' to my head
Even getting older
And this heavy heart proves that I've been touched by the blues
Blues, get off my shoulder.

Blues, you hurt me, can't you see
Oh you're so mean to me
I can't help you
Please let me be
Oh, won't you hear my plea

Now this cold, cold feelin', driving me back
I sure miss the love that I had.
And I hope I love these blues as I get little older.
Blues, get off my shoulder.

Now this cold, cold feelin' is drivin' me mad.
Oh, I sure miss the love that I had.
I hope I lose this blues before I get a little older
Blues, get off my shoulder.
Oh, oh

Fix This lyrics - Robert Cray

Fix this, broken heart of my
I just can't catch my breath
I'm all, torn apart
Trying to forget
All the pain I've been through
And all the time spent with you
Not knowing you never gave a damn about us

Fix this, shattered dream of my
I just can't get no rest
All I, do is cry
I can't get out of bed
All I do is think of you
Can't figure out how come
You never gived a damn about us

Need to get it all back together
Search my soul at al costs
Maybe is was for the better
Who knows what else I would have lost

Need to get it back together
Search my soul at all cost
And maybe it was for the better
Who knows what else I would have lost

Somebody, fix this
Shattered pride of my
Save the pieces she left
Can't keep, telling lies
I just don't have the strength, no
People said that they knew
But all the time I refuse
To be lonely you never gave a damn,
Gave a damn, about us
About us
Somebody fix, this shattered dream
Somebody fix, this broken heart of mine
Fix this
Fix this

I'm Done Cryin' lyrics - Robert Cray

I begged for mercy
Called out in pain
No one seemed to hear me
It's like I don't have a name

I'm done crying
I've got no more tears
You can't hurt me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

I used to have a job
But they shut it down
Put the blame on the union (like they always do)
And now it's some fore in town
I am done crying
I've got no more tears
You can't use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
But you won't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

They took the house
When I lost my job
Left us out in the street (yes they did)
What you picked us the wrong
I am done crying
I've got no more tears
I can't give you anymore money
At least now I know where I stand
You can't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

I am a man
And it's always so much a man can give up
So it's so much, so much a man can lose
When all the odds all the odds stand up against you

I am done crying
I have got no more tears
You can't use me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
Cause I am still a man

I am done crying
I have got no more tears
You can't hurt me anymore
At least now I know where I stand
You won't take away my dignity
Cause I'm still a man
I'm still a man
Still a man
You know I don't have a chance
Still a man
Still a man

Great Big Old House lyrics - Robert Cray

Great Big Old House
Full of empty rooms
Nice family used to live there
But they had to move
Just the carpets on the floor
And the loadbox on the frontdoor
Is all of that remains
There used to be love, love, love
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,

Great big old house
Once was a home
Where is a laughter
Someone tells what have been done
No more children after school
Get together by the pool
Ain't it a shame
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,

Used to be a car and toys in the backway
Someone moowing the lawn
But the movingman came and the car was towed away
And they cut the gas and phone
And now the place is all alone (yeah)

Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,

Great big old dream,
Nothing but a pain
Just a carpet on the floor
And a loadbox at the frontdoor
Is all of that remains
But there used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love,used to be love,
In this big old house
There used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,
Used to be love, used to be love, used to be love,

Sadder Days lyrics - Robert Cray

We talked yesterday
About us
Maybe we could save
What we lost
Didn't have to say
We were done
Have my sadder days
Just begun

I've had better days
Than this one
She just walked away
I'm all alone
Are there other ways
Show me one
Tell my sadder days
They're all gone
Tell my sadder days
They're all gone

Oh, how can they be
The most lonesome
Longest days of the week
Now, now I know
There won't be a tomorrow
Without you here

Oh, how can they be
The most lonesome
Longest days of the week
Oh, now I know
There won't be a tomorrow
Without you here

I've had better days
Than this one
She just walked away
I'm all alone
Are there other ways
Then show me one
Tell my sadder days
They're all gone
Tell my sadder days
They're all gone
Tell my sadder days
They're all gone

"This Time" (2009)

Chicken In The Kitchen lyrics - Robert Cray

I do all the cooking in our house babe
You're always running around
I do all the cooking in our house babe
You're always running around

There'll be no more chicken in the kitchen
If you don't try to settle down

You come home late for supper now babe
And your tale I just ain't buying
You come home late for supper now babe
And your tale I just ain't buying

Well I got a feeling you're eating out now babe
And someone else is doing the frying

Well you know that I get burned now babe
That's one thing that can't be denied
And when I serve up my main course now babe
You always get your choice of size

Well you know that I get burned now babe
That's one thing that can't be denied
And when I serve up my main course now babe
You always tell me you're so satisfied

You gotta change your ways now babe
I can't take no more of this mess
You gotta make up your mind now, pretty babe
I can't take no more of this mess

Cause when it comes to real fine cuisine now babe
You'll realize I was the best

There'll be no more chicken in the kitchen
I am the best

I Can't Fail lyrics - Robert Cray

You just never know,
How life will unfold,
Are the dreams we have just fairy tales,
Hope I'm wrong, I can't fail

I see you work hard,
And you rarely crack a smile,
Never weep when you're not well,
You're the reason I can't fail,

I'm always by your side,
We've got a long story to tell,
Just don't you be afraid,
Somehow we'll find us a brand new way,

Time's treated us kind,
We're lucky that we don't feel the course,
The road is sometimes filled with nails,
Just hold on love is strong,
You're the reason I can't fail,

Hold on Love is strong,
You're the reason I can't fail.

Love 2009 lyrics - Robert Cray

Wasting away my life, going through emotions
Everyday is the same, go out and play the game
All my life I've been searching for someone new
Not sure what to do, then I found you

Love comes and goes
Don't you agree?
This time it stays with you and me
Well, that's how it's gonna be, love

[?] before, can always walk out
Always ends the same, all my love's in vain
So I keep my head up and look the other way, yes
Never really knowing, no, no, if it can happen someday

You know that love comes and goes
Don't you agree?
This time it stays with you and me
Well, that's how it's gonna be

If you let me love you, baby
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Love comes and goes
Don't you agree?
But this time it stays with you and me
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, love

Don't you know that love comes and goes?
Don't you agree?
This time it stays with you and me
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, baby

If you let me love you, baby
Oh, oh, yes, yeah
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, love
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, be, yeah

I keep my head up, look the other way
Till I find, yes, till I find myself somebody to love
To love, to love, yeah, yeah, yeah
Till I find, I just gotta keep looking, man

Till I find, oh yeah
Till I find love, love, love 2009

That's What Keeps Me Rockin' lyrics - Robert Cray

That's what keeps me rockin'

I was talkin to my neighbour, that lives next door
who marveled at your pace as you went walking thru the store
I said hey up baby, and come right back
you know she brought me a meal cos I didn't want a snack

That's what, keeps me rockin'
that's what, keeps me rockin'
that's what, keeps me rockin' it
that's what keeps me keepin on

She's got, smooth long legs, curly red hair
when I look into her eyes, that you would never dare
when I see that sunlight, shining thru your dress
you know I, I transform into a hell of a mess

[Chorus]

Yes she's my fine fine baby
you know that its true
and I'm a lucky son of a gun
she's never gonna leave me, no matter what I do
cos we ain't got nothin' but fun

I wanna tell everybody, bout this poor boys dream
don't be surprised if things are better than they seem
yes I'm Mr lucky put your mind at ease
when I need a little lovin' I don't have to say please

[Chorus]

This Time lyrics - Robert Cray

Tell me, before you go away.
Tell me, this time, won't cha?
Tell me the reason why you play the games you choose to play.
I'll take a guess it's because- you've got another.
And you're ashamed of the fact- that I know, yeah.
That it's all just a lie, but I'll stand here and let you walk by, like before.
I've done nothin' wrong.

Tell me, this time, won't cha?
Tell me, where are you gonna stay? Hey hey!
Tell me yeah- this time, won't cha?
Gimme one reason why you change your world again today.
You say- there's no love here.
And there's no turnin' back, like before, no.
I wish you'd make up your mind.
It's up to you to finally decide,
'cause I know- I've done nothin' wrong.

So long, goodbye, I love you.
Say it's the last time, fair you well.
Go! Go!

It happens time after time.
It's up to you to finally decide, 'cause I know- I've done nothin' wrong.

It's gonna take a whole lotta pride.
Goodbye, baby.
This time.

Forever Goodbye lyrics - Robert Cray

Another night without sleep
Watch the clock hit half past 2
Tape plays wild in my head
All the things I wished I'd said to you

Yesterday I went to call you
Pressed the number that came naturally
Hoping to hear your voice again
All the phone did was ring and ring and ring

Wouldn't have taken you for granted
If I knew then what I know today
Wish I could've had a moment of your time
Wish I could've taken your pain away

I know it's time to let you go
But the truth is so hard to bear
And every time I turn around
I always feel you standing somewhere near

Wouldn't have taken you for granted
As I sit here watch the clouds paint the sky
How do I live and fill this empty space
Never thought I'd have to try

Forever goodbye

Wouldn't have taken you for granted
As I sit here watch the clouds paint the sky
How do I live and fill this empty space
Well I guess I'll have to try

Forever...Goodbye

Trouble & Pain lyrics - Robert Cray

Road block, shutdown again
Danger of a losin' my best friend
You know I've got a good side, just never shows
Waiting such a long time, goodness knows

[Chorus:]
Trouble and pain, yea
That's all I am is
Trouble and pain, yea, yea

Clock stopped a week ago
Caught me at a party with Ms. So-N-So
We were only talkin'
That's all that I'm sayin'
Like a lyin' politician, there's more to that game

[Chorus]

When I think I'm doin' right, it never seems to be enough
Tell me my intention of you and us
Why can't I act like someone you can trust?

Flash back three years ago
When I said, "I promise."
How are you suppose to know?
Anything I did was going to make you ashamed
Your best friend tried to tell you I was wild and unchained

[Chorus]

That's all I am is
Trouble and pain
Trouble and pain
Trouble and pain
Trouble and pain
Trouble and pain, yea
That's all I have

"Twenty" (2005)

Poor Johnny lyrics - Robert Cray

Have a seat and I'll tell you a tale
It wasn't that long ago..
About a guy who turned out to be a cheater got the heater
So the story goes:

He tried the playboy-thing on two friends
Thinking that they'd never know.
They say he got caught in a trap and it snapped
He's not around anymore...

Poor Johnny,

He came home looking cool one day,
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
Once from the left... then from the right
They took him down, late that night.

Now everyone in town knew he always played around
But not a word was said.
All the money and the clothes,
And the cars that he drove just kept his ego fed.

To his friends he was king,
Cause he thought of everything
Except his number one.

She had the kids and the house,
While he was always out
Leaving his homework undone.

Poor Johnny,
He came home looking cool one day,
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
Once from the left... then from the right
They took him down, late that night.

Then one day his luck ran out.
When number two found a number and called his house.
Word on the street is that they talked all night
They had to teach him a lesson,
They had to make things right.

Poor Johnny,
He came home looking cool one day,
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
Once from the left... then from the right
They took him down, late that night.

Poor Johnny,
He came home looking cool one day,
Just wasn't lucky to come out that way
Once from the left... then from the right
They took him down, late that night.

Poor Johnny
Poor Johnny
Poor Johnny
Poor Johnny
Poor Johnny

That Ain't Love lyrics - Robert Cray

From out of the darkness
Beneath the lights
Right there
Off of main street

The mystery takes control of a man
And it drops them to their knees
Makes me question who I am

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

On a warm, warm summer night
I feel a chill shake right through me
From my head down to the ground

You have become my fantasy
When no one else is around!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love

You walk with a vengeance
And the clothes you wear
Are part of the spell that you cast

Like a watch on a chain
You hypnotize me

But I just, I just
Can't take a chance

I don't belong beneath the lights
Right there off of main street

Least now I know just who I am
It's not somewhere I want to be
When no one else is around

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

That ain't love!
No, no, no!
That ain't love!
You're just a fantasy, baby!

That ain't love!
That ain't love!

What goes on down on main street
That ain't love!
That ain't love!

You're just a fantasy, baby!
That ain't love!

And you might not even be a woman!

No, no, no!
That ain't love!

Ewwwwwww!

Does It Really Matter lyrics - Robert Cray

You know it doesn't
Really matter
That I always seem
To forget

Where I put my keys,
My hat, and my coat

Searching for your sunglasses
And you lost the remote

Did you forget the heat?
Cause I'm gettin' chills

Are the lights really going out?
Did we forget to pay the bills?

Why?
Does it really matter?

Cause when the lights go out
It only gets better

When you hold me tight
And tell me it's all right
Then the rest doesn't really matter

I guess it doesn't
Really matter
That we ain't been ridin' high
And keeping up with the Jones
Never been to Paris
I don't care if we go, no
We'll get around the world
Right here at home

Now the car won't start
And the paint is peeling
So the dishes are stackin' up
They can wait, I've got that feelin'!

Why?
Does it really matter?
We can dim the lights
And put on Clyde McPhatter

Now baby, hold me tight
Tell me it's all right
Then the rest doesn't really matter

Why?
Does it really matter?

Cause when the lights go out
It only gets better

Now baby, hold me tight
And tell me it's all right
Then the rest doesn't really...

Why?
Does it really matter?

Cause when the lights go out
It only gets better

Why?
Does it really matter?

Why?
Does it really matter, baby?

Why?

Fadin' Away lyrics - Robert Cray

You find you can't
Get away from your trouble
Hang on
It will soon fade away

Nothin' stays the same
Just like night turns to day
Hang on
Cause it's fadin' away

I feel the gloom and despair
Everything is turned around
And sometimes it just isn't fair
You get kicked when you're down

Remember, the good times always follow the bad
Pretty soon
It will all fade away

Cause you can't go back
To what you never had
Hang on
Cause it's fadin' away, fadin' away

If this lonely world seems so damn cold
And you find yourself
Losin' control
Hang on
Hang on

Oh, when you're feelin' sad
That you've been misled
Hang on
They'll soon fade away

Ain't it a shame?
No one takes the blame?
Hang on
Cause they're fadin' away, fadin' away
They're fadin' away

Ain't it a shame?

Hey!

Fadin' away, fadin' away

Nothing stays the same
No!

Fadin' away, fadin' away

Like night turns to day

Hey!

Faded away, faded away
Faded away

Nothing stays the same

Hey!!!

Fadin' away

My Last Regret lyrics - Robert Cray

One last time,
And I'll be free
One last time
You'll have your hooks in me

Cause I'm about to lose it
My force of habit

I want to see you burn
All the way down
I want to see your ashes
All over the ground

Then I will know
That I can't forget about
My last regret

The price is too high
For what your giving,
So I'll stop being the fool
And go on living

One is not enough,
Two is too much,
Too much for me

I want to see you burn
All the way down
I want to see your ashes
All over the ground

Then I will know
That I can't forget about
My last regret

No more suffering,
No more sorrow.
Live for today,
I'll be here tomorrow

I want to see you burn
All the way down
I want to see your ashes
All over the ground

Then I will know
That I can't forget about
My last regret,
My regret,
My regret.

No more suffering,
No more sorrow.
Live for today,
I'll be here tomorrow

My regret,
My regret!

My regret...

It Doesn't Show lyrics - Robert Cray

You threw out my clothes
The things I own,
And locked the door.

I guess I crossed the line,
Wasted your time,
I had to go.

If you've made other plans I understand,
The fool I am.
It doesn't show,
No, no.

Old friends just pass me by,
They seem to hide,
I'm not alive.

I tried you on the phone,
He says your gone,
Don't call no more.

I've tried everything,
I even sang,
You gave back the ring,
And laughed at me.
But it doesn't show.
No, no. (ooooo)

It doesn't show

I'm Walkin' lyrics - Robert Cray

Ten long years,
Seem like thirty-five
Cause everything you said
Turned out to be a lie
I was sweet to you,
I didn't even have to try
Now I look into your eyes
All I see is the other guy

All that talkin',
You ain't got nothin' to say
Well I can tell you
It's time that had to pay
You're gonna pay
You're gonna be sorry some day
That'll while I'm walkin'
Tired of you talkin' down to me
Baby I'm walkin'
Walkin' away from you and me
I wanna be free
I wanna be free from you and me

We were good together
That was long ago
Before you left the high road
Took off down the below
You knew what you were doin'
I didn't even have to see
You can fool me twice girl,
I think it's shame on me

Day by day
Sun goes down in flames
All that you can say
Is I'm the one to blame
It's all the same
Just play your little girl game
That'll while I'm walkin'
Tired of you talkin' down to me
Baby I'm walkin'
Walkin' away from you and me
I wanna be free
I wanna be free from you and me

That'll while I'm walkin'
Tired of you talkin' down to me
Baby I'm walkin'
Yeh, Finnaly found the key
You know I'm walkin'
Strollin' out the door
It's all gone-babe
And I won't be back no more
I gotta be free
I gotta be free from you and me

Twenty lyrics - Robert Cray

When you're used up,
Where do you go,
Soldier
Mother dry your eyes,
There's no need to cry
I'm not a boy,
It's what I signed up for

When you're used up,
Where do you go,
Soldier
I can't take the heat,
And I hardly sleep anymore
What'd we come here for

Standing out here in the desert
Trying to protect an oil line
I'd really like to do my job but
This ain't the country that I had in mind
They call this a war on terror
I see a lot of civilians dying
Mothers, sons, fathers and daughters
Not to mention some friends of mine
Some friends of mine

Was supposed to leave last week
Promises they don't keep anymore
Got to fight the rich man's war

When you're used up,
Where do you go,
Soldier
Late in 2004
Comes a knock at the door
It's no surprise
Mother dry your eyes

Mother don't you cry, no, no
Someone told you a lie
Yes they did, why
Mother don't you cry, oh no
Mother don't you cry

When you're used up,
Where do you go,
Soldier
Where do you go,

I Know You Will lyrics - Robert Cray

I have
A broken heart
It's been broken, and healed
And broken again

Too broken to heal
I feel it burn
And I wish I could put out the fire

It drives me out
Into the night
Looking for dark-eyed lovers
To soothe me and cool me
And tell me sweet lies
Till I've almost forgotten the truth

But this fire in my heart
Shine like a beacon on a hill
And every new heartache
Will make it burn brighter still

And someday you'll see it
I know you will

Every little heartache
Will make it burn brighter still
And the fire in my heart
Will surely shine
You'll see it
I know you will

Ewww, you'll see it
I know you will

Hey, you'll see it
I know you will

I Forgot To Be Your Lover lyrics - Robert Cray

Have I told you
Lately that I love ya?
Well, if I didn't darling
I'm sorry
Did I reach out
And hold ya in my loving arms
O, O, When you needed me

Now I realise that you need love too
And I'll spend my life making up to you

Oh Oh, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'm so sorry

Have I taken the time to share with you
All the burdens that lovers bear
And have I done the little simple things
To show you
Just how much I care

Oo, I've been working for you
Doing all I can
But work all the time, didn't make me a man

Oo Oo, I forgot to be your lover
And I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you somehow Baby

I forgot to be your lover
I'm so sorry
I forgot to be your lover
Gonna make it up to you somehow Baby!

Two Steps From The End lyrics - Robert Cray

The night life
Has never been easy
Has never been easy for me

The price I've paid
Has been so very dear
Some of my friends are...
No longer here

Now I'm two steps from the end
Last door down the hall
That's where you'll find me

It's gonna be a slow fade from here on out
Just like night into day
I can see all
That's happened
And there's nothing much left
To say

Now I'm two steps from the end
Last door down the hall
That's where you'll find me

Hey!
You can bang your drum
Bang your drum lowly
Go ahead and play your horn
Slowly
I know, you think that it's all over
But tonight I'll be back
Cause I know that's where it's at

Now I'm two steps from the end
Last door down the hall
That's where you'll find me

That's where you'll find me

"Time Will Tell" (2003)

Survivor lyrics - Robert Cray

Trouble all around me everywhere
There was a time when I didn't care
Life was a party
That's all we knew

Now I'm so glad
To be here today
Cause not everybody
Can stand up and say
That they're a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
You've got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
Oh, yeah, you've got to choose

Some learn
Some don't
Some live
You know that
Some won't
And time will tell
Turn around
Your life of hell
The good old days
Were such a waste of time

You take a little schoolboy
And teach him who to hate
Then you
Send him to the desert?
For the oil near Kuwait?
You try to change a world that
You don't understand

Now I'm so glad
To be here today
Cause from now
Until forever
And ever yeah
You be lucky if
You can stand up and say
That you're a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
You've got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
Oh, oh, oh
You've got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
You've got to choose

Oh, yes,
I'm so glad to be here today
I'm so glad
To be a survivor
You'll have to turn around your life a hell
Can't change anything you don't understand
Hmmm, hmmmm
You oughta be glad

Up In The Sky lyrics - Robert Cray

He wants to be
Up in the sky, so high
Above the clouds, down below
So low

She wants to be
Right by his side
Lay on her back and watch the world
Pass by

Life's too short for the living
You know that life's too long for the dying
But it's alright
Don't you know it's alright?

Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
To anyone
Ever again

He puts his hat
Under his arm
Soon he is leaving, please don't be
Alarmed
She's packed a lunch
In a white paper bag
And told the nurses, they're all mad
Quite mad

Cause life's too short for the living
You know that life's too long for the dying
But it's alright
Don't you know it's alright?

Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again

Mmmm
Up in the sky
They can finally be alone
Then they'll be no
Burden to anyone
Anymore
To anyone
Ever again

To anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again

To anyone
Anymore
Anyone
Ever again

Back Door Slam lyrics - Robert Cray

I was born in the back seat
Of a travellin' hurricane
I came up in the back streets
The city with no name
I was raised on trouble
Rock when I should roll
I never could control it
And I can't be controlled

I am what I am
I am the back door slam

When I walk down the streets
The streetlights go out
When I drive through your town
The dogs start to howl
I stand in the shadows
Sparks are in my hair
When i open up my mouth
My voice fills the air

I am what I am
I am the back door slam

People say
I'm charming
People say
I'm alarming
People can feel
The disturbance around me
I don't care what they say they see

I'm the dust in your broom
100 proof everclear
I'm the crack in your ceiling
Thump you think you hear
I'm a 3am phone call
Tank of gasoline
I'm a siren stopping
At the end of your street

I am what I am
I am the back door slam

People say
Strange
People say
I'm dangerous
People can feel
That a deal was struck
Save my soul and
Make my own luck

I was born in the city
A city with no shame
And when I play guitar
They all know my name

I am what I am
I am the back door slam
I am what I am
I am the back door slam

I Didn't Know lyrics - Robert Cray

I didn't trust nobody
I didn't trust my feelings
You said a lot of nice things
I didn't catch the meanings

I didn't know that you
Thought
So much of me
I didn't know
I didn't know

Must of had a chip on my shoulder
I was kind of hard to get close to
You started out on me slowly
Yes, you did
Something you weren't quite used to

I didn't know why you
Were
So good to me
I didn't know
I didn't know

I plead ignorance, baby!
Ohhh!
Hey!
I didn't know, I didn't know

Said I'd call you on Sunday
We could go out for dinner
Forgot to make reservations
Mmmm
I never said I was sorry

I didn't know that you
Meant
So much to me
I didn't know
I didn't know

Hey! I plead ignorance!
Ignorance, baby!
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know

[Screaming]

I plead ignorance
I know
Kind of hard to get close to
Yes, I was
Had a chip on my shoulder
Didn't know you meant so much to me, girl
I didn't know you were the one for me, girl
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know, no, no

Mmmm, mmmmm, hmmm

I didn't trust anybody
No, no
I didn't know
I didn't know

Never did trust nobody
I didn't know, I didn't know, I didn't know

Must of had a chip on my shoulder
Never did trust my feelings

No, no, no
Didn't know, didn't know, didn't know, I didn't know

Your Pal lyrics - Robert Cray

Your pal is always there
Whenever you need him
Hold your hand
While another man breaks your heart
Not one to judge
Or hold a grudge, your pal

Did you ever think he was the one for you?
Maybe you should look no further
You're the only one that doesn't know it
That he's the love you're lookin' for

He walks the dog
Always gets the mail
Your pal
Rain or shine
He's always on time
He holds the door
Even mops the floor, your pal

Did you ever think he was the one for you?
Maybe you should look no further, sister
You're the only one who doesn't know it
That he's the love you're lookin' for

No one's gonna
Wait forever
What's the harm?
You got nothin' to hide
Just pay for your ticket
And take a ride with your pal

Did you ever think he was the one for you?
Maybe you should look no further
You're the only one that doesn't know it
That he's the love you're lookin' for

He's the love you're lookin' for

He could be
The love
You're lookin' for

Lotta Lovin' lyrics - Robert Cray

Won't you sit down
Talk to me
And tell me
What's on your mind
I'll lend a listening ear
Some sympathy
And a word or two
Of kindness

Won't you sit down
Talk to me
You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here

You need to know
That everything
That everything
Will be just fine
Come share your dreams with me
And I'll tell you all of mine

Won't you spend some time with me
And I'll pore you a glass of wine
You can feel secure
Here in my company
You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here

[Moaning, some more get it on moaning]

Won't you spend
Some time with me
And I'll pore you a glass of wine
You can feel secure
Here in my company
You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here

So won't you sit down?
Sit down
Oh, won't you sit down!
And talk to me?

Sit down and talk to me
Won't you tell me what's on your mind, baby?

You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here
Won't you sit down, baby, baby?

Won't you sit down?
Talk to me!

Heyy!!!!

Sit down, baby

Talk to me!

You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here
Sittin' next to ya'
Oh, baby

Sit down!
Oh, sit down!

What You Need (Good Man) lyrics - Robert Cray

You don't need a rich man
To make you money
Cause you got the money maker
And you sure use it, honey

You don't need a strong man
To keep you safe
Cause all the danger's in your angel face

You don't need a hard man
To make you cry
Cause you can turn on those tears
Without even tryin'

What you need is a good man
What you need is a good man
What you need is a real, good man
So what do you want with me?

What you want with me?

You don't need a fast man
To drive your fast car
Cause whatever you need
Comes wherever you are

You don't need a smart man
To do the math
When I see you in a bubble bath

And you don't need a candy man
To get you sweets
Cause you got the sugar, baby
And you've got the heat

What you need is a good man
What you need is a good man
What you need is a real, good man
So what do you want with me?

What you want with me?

I don't know why you can't
Want what you need
I don't know why I can't
Be what I should be
This love is like wine
You want it all the time
But is it good for you?
Is it good for me?

What you need is a good man
What you need is a good man
What you need is a real, good man
So what do you want with me?

What do you want with me?

You need a good man
What do you want with me?

Spare Some Love lyrics - Robert Cray

Don't want to be older than a rocking chair
When I find the love that I need
Don't want to be tired when it comes to lovin'
Want to be able to see who I'm kissin' and huggin'

I can only wait
For so long
Cause what good would I be to somebody
If I needin' help to get my shoes on?

Could someone spare some love for me?

I've got but one preoccupation
And one hell of an imagination
But what I find so damn frustratin'
Is that this is happenin' to me

I can only hang for so long
If I go another week
I might as just passed on

Could someone spare some love for me?
Can someone please spare me their heart?

There's got to be someone
Out there in this world for me

Can someone spare some love for me?
Can someone please spare me their heart?

I know that nobody's gonna want me
With a head full of gray hair
And a mouth full of false teeth

I'll gladly return the favor to you, darling
To spare me some lovin'
(And squeezin')
Spare me some kissin' and huggin'

Gotta be somebody somewhere
(Some lovin', kissin' and huggin')

I could use
(Kissin' and huggin')
Some kissin' and huggin'
(And squeezin')
(Some lovin')
(Kissin' and huggin')
Oh, I'mm
(Some lovin')
Feeling real blue, baby, baby
(Kissin' and huggin')
(Some lovin')
Who wouldn't mind to give me a good night kiss on my cheek
(Kissin' and huggin')
And put my head on my pillow
(And Squeezin')
(Some lovin')
Please spare me some love
Spare me some love

Distant Shore lyrics - Robert Cray

An ancient battle
In an ancient land
Swept away with anger
Through the streets, they ran
Block to block
House to house
Man to man
They fought hand to hand

And war, begat war
All on a distant shore

Who are they?
The people that they seek
Innocent or guilty?
For harm and injury
Not the young
Not the old
It's hard to find
The truth untold

Crucify them, Crucify them!
They did shout
All would suffer
There would be no doubt

That war begat war
All on a distant shore

Hidden in the back
Behind all their anger
There stands greed
And all that it needs
Greed for the money
Greed for the power
Many will die
For few to realize

Mercy, mercy!
The angels cried
Remember the lies
Of those that die

Cause war begat war
All on a distant shore

Just because they say it
Doesn't make it so
Some day they'll see that
Then they'll fight no more

Cause war begat war
War begat war
On a distant shore

Someday they'll see it
And they'll fight no more

Cause war begat war

(Just because they say it)
(Doesn't make it so)
(Some day they'll see that)
(Then they'll fight no more)
Mmmmm

Time Makes Two lyrics - Robert Cray

Time makes two love,
Makes them more than friends.
Time makes true love,
More than just pretend.

Makes you count the nights,
And the moments we're apart.

Time will heal your troubles,
When you got the blues.
Heal the burnin' heartache,
But your right back in the groove.

But time will take it's toll on you,
If you don't play it smart...

Because time it makes to,
It takes two to heal a broken heart.

Time makes two love,
Feel eachother's pain.
And I'm so proud of you love.
So proud to be your man.

Time makes two.
Oh, time makes two.
Time makes two.
Yah know, time makes two, it takes two
To heal a broken heart.

Time makes two, it takes two,
To heal a broken heart.

It makes you more than friends.

Time makes two, time makes two.
Makes you feel eachother's pain.

Time makes two, it takes two,
To heal a broken heart.

Makes you more than friends.

Time makes two, it takes two,
To heal a broken heart.

Time makes two,
Time makes two,
Times makes two...

Time makes two,
Time makes two...

My work's done ? been away too long
But I'll be there with ya soon as we get off the phone

Already Gone lyrics - Robert Cray

You're already gone
What's the use in even trying?

You busted my heart, baby
When I found out that you were lyin'

You don't have to tell me
I hear it in the way you talk
And you know it's killin' me
When you say that it's all my fault

But is it all on me?
All on me?
All me? [?]

You're already gone
Ohhh, I was the last one to know
And, ohhh, I'm so ashamed, baby
I hear people whispering everywhere I go
(shame and sin)

I got these tearstains on my shirt
Won't dry out
And you know it's killing me
Say it's all my fault

Is it all on me?
All on me?
All on me?
All on me?

Did I misuse you, baby?
No

Have I ever mistrusted you, baby?
No

I always said that I loved you
I love you
I love you, baby
Yes I do

So why you doing me
The way you're doing me, baby?
I want to know

But you're already gone, yeah
Oh, I guess you gotta have someone to blame
(Might as well be me)

Since your mind's already made up
Go on, baby
I'll make it on past the pain
Yes I will

You think that now, baby
You're justified
And you know it's killing me
I hope you're satisfied

That it's all on me
All on me
All on me

Ewwww, ahhhhahah!

You're already gone, baby

What's the use?
Somebody tell me

Ahhhahahh!

You're already gone, baby
Ewwww, hope you're satisfied
Busted my heart, baby

Ahhhahahaa!

You're already gone, baby

Oh, you busted my heart in
So many little tiny, tiny

Owwwwww!

Already gone

Found out that you were lying
Somebody help me
