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
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.
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?

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
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
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
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

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!
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?
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
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...
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
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
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,
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
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!
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
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
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

If you wanna be a survivor
You've got to choose
Oh, yes,

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

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
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

Ever again
To anyone

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
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

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
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?
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
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')

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
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...
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...
Baby's Arms lyrics - Robert Cray
I'm gonna buy me a ticket outta here
Get on back to my baby's arms
My work's done ? been away too long
But I'll be there with ya soon as we get off the phone
I'm goin' home.

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
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?

Love Sickness lyrics - Robert Cray
Went to my doctor, my doctor said
It's a wonder you ain't dead
The sickness you got I can't cure
Getting over, it is up to you
You've been living in the twilight zone
Since your woman left you all alone
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
Listen, son, everybody knows
Since she left you ain't the same no more
Pull yourself together before it's too late
'Cause you headed for the judgment day
Walking around, it's a crying shame
You don't even know your mother's name
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
Let me give you some good advice
From a man who had eleven wives
When a woman don't want you no more
Best thing to do is let her go
Go and find yourself someone new
'Fore this thing gets a hold of you
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
It's a wonder you ain't dead
The sickness you got I can't cure
Getting over, it is up to you
You've been living in the twilight zone
Since your woman left you all alone
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
Listen, son, everybody knows
Since she left you ain't the same no more
Pull yourself together before it's too late
'Cause you headed for the judgment day
Walking around, it's a crying shame
You don't even know your mother's name
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
Let me give you some good advice
From a man who had eleven wives
When a woman don't want you no more
Best thing to do is let her go
Go and find yourself someone new
'Fore this thing gets a hold of you
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
I'm Afraid lyrics - Robert Cray
Where's the sun when you want it?
Never been a fan of clouds
You said you'd decide
When the time was right
So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
Can't see the stars the way I used to
Big city lights surrounding me
I got a whole lot of pride, yeah
But I've been known to lie
So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
Whoaaaaaaaohhhh
The lessons learned
So many ways, so many ways
This world can turn
The sky's the limit
I've got nothing to hide
No matter which way the wind is blowing
You can't stop this fire burning inside, no
Kinda cool around here this evening
Kinda like the look you're giving me
But then again you smile, yeah, yeah
Just like a child, baby
I stayed and I waited, huh
I'm afraid, but I waited
I stayed and I waited
Oh Lord, and I prayed, and I waited
I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
Never been a fan of clouds
You said you'd decide
When the time was right
So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
Can't see the stars the way I used to
Big city lights surrounding me
I got a whole lot of pride, yeah
But I've been known to lie
So I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
Whoaaaaaaaohhhh
The lessons learned
So many ways, so many ways
This world can turn
The sky's the limit
I've got nothing to hide
No matter which way the wind is blowing
You can't stop this fire burning inside, no
Kinda cool around here this evening
Kinda like the look you're giving me
But then again you smile, yeah, yeah
Just like a child, baby
I stayed and I waited, huh
I'm afraid, but I waited
I stayed and I waited
Oh Lord, and I prayed, and I waited
I stayed and I waited
I'm afraid to let this one go
No One Special lyrics - Robert Cray
They say don't bother
It's just a game
She's hard to follow
She'll bring you pain
I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
She wants the life of wealth and fame
She's got my soul
It's such a shame
You see, 'cause
I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
Don't drive a fancy car
Like you're used to
But I've got this great big heart
Won't that do?
I'm no one special
One thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
I'd give my all to be with you
But I'm just on call
Things fall through
You see, 'cause
I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
You know that I
Try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
Oh, I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
It's just a game
She's hard to follow
She'll bring you pain
I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
She wants the life of wealth and fame
She's got my soul
It's such a shame
You see, 'cause
I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
Don't drive a fancy car
Like you're used to
But I've got this great big heart
Won't that do?
I'm no one special
One thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
I'd give my all to be with you
But I'm just on call
Things fall through
You see, 'cause
I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
You know that I
Try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
Oh, I'm no one special
But one thing I know is true
I try my best to please her
Though I know I never do
Out Of Eden lyrics - Robert Cray
Tie the trunk with a piece of string
Make sure, did we forget anything?
Turn the lights out
And close the door
Tell the mailman
We don't live here no more
They said it was paradise
And that we'd live here forever
And they stabbed us in the back
With a poison dagger
Stood by the river
And watched us drown
Smiled, then they waved?
While we went down
But once was will never happen
Again
Now we travel out of Eden
I know you would stand up
For what is right
And I know you would you stand up
Against what's wrong
Our neighbors were blind
But we had each other
And we became strong
They said it was paradise
And that we'd live here forever
Then they stabbed us in the back
With a poison dagger
Wrongly accused
Rightly upset
When our friends turned their backs
We knew we'd never, never forget
What once was will never happen
No, no, again
Now we travel out of Eden
Put your suitcase down
Lay on the bed
I'll open up the window
Clear skies ahead
We can sit on the beach
Or swim in the ocean
We survived on a life of devotion
They said it was paradise
And that we'd live here forever
Then they stabbed us in the back
With a poison dagger
Tried and convicted
Without hearing our side
Now everyone's sorry
But there'll be no next time
What once was will never happen again
Now we travel out of Eden
Now we travel out of Eden
Now we travel out of Eden
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Mmmmmm
Make sure, did we forget anything?
Turn the lights out
And close the door
Tell the mailman
We don't live here no more
They said it was paradise
And that we'd live here forever
And they stabbed us in the back
With a poison dagger
Stood by the river
And watched us drown
Smiled, then they waved?
While we went down
But once was will never happen
Again
Now we travel out of Eden
I know you would stand up
For what is right
And I know you would you stand up
Against what's wrong
Our neighbors were blind
But we had each other
And we became strong
They said it was paradise
And that we'd live here forever
Then they stabbed us in the back
With a poison dagger
Wrongly accused
Rightly upset
When our friends turned their backs
We knew we'd never, never forget
What once was will never happen
No, no, again
Now we travel out of Eden
Put your suitcase down
Lay on the bed
I'll open up the window
Clear skies ahead
We can sit on the beach
Or swim in the ocean
We survived on a life of devotion
They said it was paradise
And that we'd live here forever
Then they stabbed us in the back
With a poison dagger
Tried and convicted
Without hearing our side
Now everyone's sorry
But there'll be no next time
What once was will never happen again
Now we travel out of Eden
Now we travel out of Eden
Now we travel out of Eden
Mmmmmm

Cry For Me Baby lyrics - Robert Cray
Well I've cried so much for you
Baby, there's nothing new
Well, I've cried so much for you
Baby that's nothing new
Now I wish I had one dollar
For all the times I've cried for you
Almost every night
I cry myself to sleep
Everybody else is happy
But I'll just weep, weep, weep
And these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Now I wish just once
You'd cry for me
Oh, yes!
Yeah!
Why should I remember?
How can I forget?
I wake up every morning
And my pillow is soaking wet
From these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Now I wish just once
You'd cry for me
Oh, yeah!
Yes!
Yes, yes, yeah!
Cry for me
Baby, there's nothing new
Well, I've cried so much for you
Baby that's nothing new
Now I wish I had one dollar
For all the times I've cried for you
Almost every night
I cry myself to sleep
Everybody else is happy
But I'll just weep, weep, weep
And these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Now I wish just once
You'd cry for me
Oh, yes!
Yeah!
Why should I remember?
How can I forget?
I wake up every morning
And my pillow is soaking wet
From these tears, tears, tears
Why won't they let me be?
Now I wish just once
You'd cry for me
Oh, yeah!
Yes!
Yes, yes, yeah!
Cry for me
Far Away lyrics - Robert Cray
I looked far away
I looked way into the future
What I saw was you not here with me
And when I looked inside for an answer, honey
I just knew that I had to be free
What I have to say
What I have to say I know will hurt you
After years of love
It's hard to understand
No, that I'm not leavin' for anyone else, honey
I need to know just who I am
If it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself
Gather up my things
Leave the keys on the shelf
I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake
To tell them daddy had to go away
I'm going far away
Nothing lasts forever
I'm going far from where I used to be
I remember that young couple at the chapel
It all seems like a dream to me
I!
I didn't know myself
Never knew myself when I met you
And even now must seem like a crime
You know that I promised to love you forever
It's just forever ran out of time
So if it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself
I'll just gather my things
The keys are on the shelf
I'll come 'round in the morning
When the kids awake
Ohhh!
To tell them daddy had to go away
Hmmmmmmm
I never knew myself
Mmmmmmmmmmmm
Know that I wanna
Mmmmmmmm
I'm gonna walk on
Far away
Ohhh, heyyyyy!
Mmmmmm
Mmmm
If it's all right with you
I'll just excuse myself
I'll just gather my things
I'll leave the keys on the shelf
I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake
To tell them that Daddy had to go away
If it's all right with you
I'll excuse myself
If it's all right with you
I'll leave the keys on the shelf
I'll come back in the morning
When the kids awake
Mmmmmmmm
To tell them that Daddy had to go away
[whistling]
Mmmmmm
Going far away
I need to know who I am
Heyyyyyy!
Mmmmmmmmm
Help Me Forget lyrics - Robert Cray
Been burning up the past few days
I know that I'm in for a heartache
Started out with secret calls
And now this letter
Somebody please help me to forget her
I admit that sometimes I did you wrong
I was out all night when I shoulda been home
Hey, it's late
Where you going in this nasty weather?
Somebody please help me to forget her
Ahhhh!
Mmm, mmm
Ahhh, ahhhh!
Sometimes it seems like
I got what I deserved
To live my life in misery
All the pain
That I put you through
Has now come back, come back to me
Mmmm, hmmm
Look what I brought here into this home
It serves me right to be all alone
Now I know what I had was so much better
Please
I know what I had was so much better
Somebody please
Help me to forget her
What I had was so much better
Somebody please
Help me to forget her
I know that I'm in for a heartache
Started out with secret calls
And now this letter
Somebody please help me to forget her
I admit that sometimes I did you wrong
I was out all night when I shoulda been home
Hey, it's late
Where you going in this nasty weather?
Somebody please help me to forget her
Ahhhh!
Mmm, mmm
Ahhh, ahhhh!
Sometimes it seems like
I got what I deserved
To live my life in misery
All the pain
That I put you through
Has now come back, come back to me
Mmmm, hmmm
Look what I brought here into this home
It serves me right to be all alone
Now I know what I had was so much better
Please
I know what I had was so much better
Somebody please
Help me to forget her
What I had was so much better
Somebody please
Help me to forget her
The 12 Year Old Boy lyrics - Robert Cray
I feel bad, I feel terrible
I'm just as sad as I can be
Oh, I feel bad, I feel terrible
I'm just as sad as I can be
I let a boy, 12 years old
Take my baby away from me
He used to hang around my crib
Until late into the night
Oh, he used to hang around my crib
Till late into the night
Well, I never dreamed that my baby
And that boy could be so tight
Well, if the young boy hangs around you
You should do what I shoulda did
Oh, if the young boy hangs around you
You should do what I shoulda did
Man, you send him on over to your neighbors
And hope your neighbors like kids
Love Gone To Waste lyrics - Robert Cray
One day we love
Next day we fight
You change your mind, girl
Like day and night
Like Jekyl and Hyde
You come and you go
Why you so mean, girl
I just don't know
You do it all the time
Keep a frown on your face
Like a fool left out all night, oh baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste
Don't make no sense
The way you do
Thought all the things, girl ??
I'd do for you
Why can't you be
Like you used to?
Do the same things, girl
You used to do
You throw the love away
And we don't get a taste
If you don't use, you lose, baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste
I'm gonna leave
If things don't change
Can't take no more, girl
You acting strange
Life's just too short
Love is hard to find
Don't be no fool, girl
Don't waste my time
There's too much at stake
To walk out in haste
Has love grown cold?
Oh, baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste
Has love gone to waste, baby?
Has it gone to waste?
Gone to waste
Gone to waste
Yeah
There's too much at stake, baby
Has it gone to waste?
Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyy, hey!
Gone to waste, yes
Too much at stake, baby!
Next day we fight
You change your mind, girl
Like day and night
Like Jekyl and Hyde
You come and you go
Why you so mean, girl
I just don't know
You do it all the time
Keep a frown on your face
Like a fool left out all night, oh baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste
Don't make no sense
The way you do
Thought all the things, girl ??
I'd do for you
Why can't you be
Like you used to?
Do the same things, girl
You used to do
You throw the love away
And we don't get a taste
If you don't use, you lose, baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste
I'm gonna leave
If things don't change
Can't take no more, girl
You acting strange
Life's just too short
Love is hard to find
Don't be no fool, girl
Don't waste my time
There's too much at stake
To walk out in haste
Has love grown cold?
Oh, baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste
Has love gone to waste, baby?
Has it gone to waste?
Gone to waste
Gone to waste
Yeah
There's too much at stake, baby
Has it gone to waste?
Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyy, hey!
Gone to waste, yes
Too much at stake, baby!
That Wasn't Me lyrics - Robert Cray
Could I have done something wrong?
Someone broke your heart
I feel sorry for you
If it's the last thing that I do
I'll have to talk to that man
Yes I will
The pain
I see you suffering
And the shame
The news is all over town
Why he left
Is a mystery
Cause I wouldn't have done that
If that was me
That wasn't me
That was someone else
That wasn't me
No, no, that wasn't me
No it wasn't
At all
Could I have done something wrong?
Maybe I did
Maybe I didn't
You know when you went out on me the other night
Didn't come home to about five o'clock in the morning, I said to myself:
"I'm gonna get even with you."
So I went out, too
And even though you said nothin' went--went on, nothin' happened
I refused to believe it, I just, uh
I'll have to talk to that man
Yes I will
That wasn't me
That was someone else
Sure wasn't me
I wanna defend myself
That wasn't me
No, it wasn't
At all
Could I have done something wrong?
That wasn't me
Hey, that was someone else
Sure wasn't me
I wanna defend myself
That wasn't me
No, it wasn't
At all
Could I have done something wrong?
All The Way lyrics - Robert Cray
Threw out a rope
Somebody pulled me in
You know I've never learned to swim
I'm trying to tread in an unknown territory
Don't know to find my next of kin [?]
Cause I'm diggin it
I got more than my feet wet
I'm way up over my head
And I'm diggin it
But I never would have learned
If I hadn't gone all the way
Someone said that love would make a fool of me
I'd seen what happened to my friends
But they only told one side of the story
Trying to make me believe that it's just pretend
But I'm diggin it
So glad I've never listen
To a single word that they said
And I'm diggin it
But I never would have learned
If I hadn't gone all the way
People will always try to warn ya'
And make you think about it twice
You're better off trusting yourself
Just take your own advice
Heeeeyyyy!
I forgot my coat
And it began to rain
I never planned to be out long
And then you're love came pouring down upon me
I got caught in the storm of a love so strong
And I'm diggin it
I got more than my feet wet
And I'm way up over my head
And I'm diggin it
So glad I never listened to a single word that they said
And I'm diggin it, diggin it, diggin it, baby
I got more than my feet wet
I'm way up over my head
And I'm diggin it, baby, baby, baby
But I never would have learned
If I hadn't gone all the way
If I hadn't gone all the way
No, no
If I hadn't gone all the way
I wouldn't know what I know today, no, no
If I hadn't gone all the way
I just wouldn't have the love I have today, baby, baby, baby
I've found a love
Cause I went all the way
I've found love
Somebody pulled me in
You know I've never learned to swim
I'm trying to tread in an unknown territory
Don't know to find my next of kin [?]
Cause I'm diggin it
I got more than my feet wet
I'm way up over my head
And I'm diggin it
But I never would have learned
If I hadn't gone all the way
Someone said that love would make a fool of me
I'd seen what happened to my friends
But they only told one side of the story
Trying to make me believe that it's just pretend
But I'm diggin it
So glad I've never listen
To a single word that they said
And I'm diggin it
But I never would have learned
If I hadn't gone all the way
People will always try to warn ya'
And make you think about it twice
You're better off trusting yourself
Just take your own advice
Heeeeyyyy!
I forgot my coat
And it began to rain
I never planned to be out long
And then you're love came pouring down upon me
I got caught in the storm of a love so strong
And I'm diggin it
I got more than my feet wet
And I'm way up over my head
And I'm diggin it
So glad I never listened to a single word that they said
And I'm diggin it, diggin it, diggin it, baby
I got more than my feet wet
I'm way up over my head
And I'm diggin it, baby, baby, baby
But I never would have learned
If I hadn't gone all the way
If I hadn't gone all the way
No, no
If I hadn't gone all the way
I wouldn't know what I know today, no, no
If I hadn't gone all the way
I just wouldn't have the love I have today, baby, baby, baby
I've found a love
Cause I went all the way
I've found love
There's Nothing Wrong lyrics - Robert Cray
I've got to move on
I think a change will do me better
There's nothing wrong
We finally agree
I gave you my heart
Got nothing in return
You tore it apart, yeah
Cause you want to be free
So I'm gonna wait till tomorrow
See the morning light
Forget about our problems
Forget about last night
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Till love comes round again
I'm gonna go on
I've just got to forget her
There's nothing wrong
That's how it's got to be
You never gave your heart, baby
Took a while to learn
I need a brand-new start
So I can be me
And I'm gonna wait till tomorrow
And see the morning light
Forget about our problems
Forget about last night
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Till love comes round again
Oh, I'm gonna wait till tomorrow
And see the morning light
Forget about our problems
Forget about last night
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Till love comes round again
I've got to move on
I know a change will do me better
There's nothing wrong
We finally agree
I gave you my heart, baby
Got nothing in return
You tore it all apart
Cause you want to be free
And I'm gonna wait till tomorrow
And see the morning light
Forget about our problems
Forget about last night
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Till love comes round again
And I'll wait, I'll wait, I'll wait
Till love comes round again
And I'm gonna wait, and wait
Till love comes round again
Mmmmmmm
I'm gonna wait
For love to come back
Someday, baby
Someday
There's nothing wrong, no, no
Nothing wrong, baby

Pardon lyrics - Robert Cray
I hear him when he weeps and moans
I've even seen him shed tears
For after taking those wedding vows
That didn't last many years
I've seen him walk the streets alone
In the wind and rain cold and weak
Help the poor man save his heart
Take him in, make him neat
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
The people talk when he passes by
And they don't seem to care
The pain he hides down in his soul
That they don't want to share
If he could turn this world around
He could be like you and me
Help him break these chains of love
Help the man go free
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
He's guilty of nothing that I can think of, oh no
So let's not convict him
He just happens to be a prisoner of love
So if you're out on that lonely street
And by chance pass him by
Don't rush to judgement or put him down
Cause you could be that guy
Someone could take your heart to school one day
And that would surely change your plans
And all the things you think you know
Now you understand
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
All you got to do is
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
Grant him a pardon, baby
Grant him a pardon from love
Just grant him a pardon
From love
Won't ya
I've even seen him shed tears
For after taking those wedding vows
That didn't last many years
I've seen him walk the streets alone
In the wind and rain cold and weak
Help the poor man save his heart
Take him in, make him neat
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
The people talk when he passes by
And they don't seem to care
The pain he hides down in his soul
That they don't want to share
If he could turn this world around
He could be like you and me
Help him break these chains of love
Help the man go free
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
He's guilty of nothing that I can think of, oh no
So let's not convict him
He just happens to be a prisoner of love
So if you're out on that lonely street
And by chance pass him by
Don't rush to judgement or put him down
Cause you could be that guy
Someone could take your heart to school one day
And that would surely change your plans
And all the things you think you know
Now you understand
And grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
All you got to do is
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon
Grant him a pardon from love
Grant him a pardon, baby
Grant him a pardon from love
Just grant him a pardon
From love
Won't ya
Let Me Know lyrics - Robert Cray
Hello
Hello my friend
How are you doing, baby today?
It's been a long time
But there's no peace of mind
Since you've been away
I've been learning and searching
All things through
But my heart won't let me
Get used to the blues
Crying, I keep on trying
To get over losing you
If you knew what
I've been through
You would have never left me this way
I try real hard to
Do what I need to do
And I'll let no one or nothing
Get in my way
Please
Tell me it's not so
Tell me that I'm dreamin
That you really didn't go
Oh
Let me know
Let me know
Oh, love
Was it that bad?

You would have never left me this way
I'm trying really hard to do
What I need to do

Get in my way

It's All Gone lyrics - Robert Cray
Tell what you're thinkin, baby
What's on your mind?
Could it be that what you feel for me
Is getting hard to find?
You say you're falling out of love
Girl I can't believe
That it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on now
Listen when I tell you, sugar
I'm so in love with you
But the words falling from your lips
Seem to say we're through
All these thoughts that I can't bear
Tell me it's not true
That it's all wrong
Oh, girl
You're movin on now
I'm holdin on
Oh, lord
Don't leave me alone now
I know you've got your needs
But I beg you please
Yeah
Cause when your love comes down
I want it all, I want it all for me
Yeah
How you gonna do it, baby?
Make a blind man see
That it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on now
Don't take it all away now baby
With nothing in return
Cause if you're trying to teach me something
When am I gonna learn, now?
That it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on now
Don't break my heart, girl
You are my world
Yeah
You say our love is tumblin down
But that's a sound
I don't wanna hear
Nah
How you gonna do it, baby?
Make a blind man see
That's it's all gone
Oh, yeah
You're movin on, girl
And it won't be long
Oh, lord
Till you're gone, now
It's much too strong
Oh, yeah
Don't leave me alone, girl
I'm holding on
Oh, yeah
Am I so wrong?
What's on your mind?

Is getting hard to find?
You say you're falling out of love

Won't You Give Him (One More Chance) lyrics - Robert Cray
(If you give him one)
(One more chance)
(That's all he needs is one more chance)
Just let me prove that my love is real
Baby, won't you let me show ya how I feel?
(All he wants is one)
(One more night)
(That's all he needs)
(To make things right)
Why can't you see
That my love is true?
Can't you see that I'm still in love with you?
I don't care what's in the past
It's all over
(It's all gone)
(It's all gone)
I don't care
What people say
I know that you're the one
(If you give him one)
(One more chance)
(That's all he needs is one more chance)
If you let me try
I'll make you see
Oh, yeah
The only man you'll ever need in life is me
Mmmmmm

To show how much love

Real, all I need
Is one more
Ohhhh
They don't know how much I love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya, baby
Can't you see that the love is getting real, getting real

If you let me try
I'll make you see
Oh, yeah
The only man you'll ever need in life is me
Ohhhh!
(If you give him one)
All I need is just one more chance, baby
(If you give him one)
All I need is just one mo' chance
To show how much love
Yeah
Just let the groove it from love enter
Real, all I need
Is one more
Ohhhh
They don't know how much I love ya, love ya, love ya, love ya, baby
Can't you see that the love is getting real, getting real
Living Proof lyrics - Robert Cray
She has everything
And every one loves her
A warm smile and a friendly hug
Good looks
Good looks [?]
Everyone says it's a mistake
That she's made a goof
Any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
I could be a cowboy
Sit out under western stars
I could be a guru
Go to India and seek the truth
Everyone says it's a mistake
That she's made a goof
But any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
Any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
Someday she'll leave me
That's what they say
But I just shake my head
Cause I know she's gonna stay
A room with a view and fresh-cut flowers
Something nice to eat
These things are important
Now when you find a girl you want to meet
It may be a mistake
Maybe I'm a goof
But any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
Any thing can happen, look she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
And every one loves her
A warm smile and a friendly hug
Good looks
Good looks [?]
Everyone says it's a mistake
That she's made a goof
Any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
I could be a cowboy
Sit out under western stars
I could be a guru
Go to India and seek the truth
Everyone says it's a mistake
That she's made a goof
But any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
Any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
Someday she'll leave me
That's what they say
But I just shake my head
Cause I know she's gonna stay
A room with a view and fresh-cut flowers
Something nice to eat
These things are important
Now when you find a girl you want to meet
It may be a mistake
Maybe I'm a goof
But any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
Any thing can happen, look she's here with me
For that I'm living proof
What About Me lyrics - Robert Cray
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
What about me?
Oh!!!!
What about me?
What about me?
I'm hear all by myself
What about me?
Hey, hey, hey
You winked your eye when you caught my glance
So we sat and talked for a while
As the night grew thin, you're friend walked in
Damn!!
Hey, hey!!
What about me?
What about me?
Oh!!!!
What about me?
What about me?
What about me, baby.
You got up and left
Never said goodbye
What about me?
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, man!!
I guess I can forget about that one
You talk about hurt
I must have used a thousand lines
Couldn't get a single one to work
But if EVER I should cross your mind
You know exactly where I'll be
Right here where you left me crying
Damn!!!
Hey, hey!!!!
What about me?
What about me?
Hey, baby
Me!
What about me?
I have needs, baby!
What about me?
Baby
Oh, I've got needs
What about me?

What about me?
Oh!!!!
What about me?
What about me?
I'm hear all by myself
What about me?
Hey, hey, hey
You winked your eye when you caught my glance
So we sat and talked for a while
As the night grew thin, you're friend walked in
Damn!!
Hey, hey!!
What about me?
What about me?
Oh!!!!
What about me?
What about me?
What about me, baby.
You got up and left
Never said goodbye
What about me?
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, man!!
I guess I can forget about that one
You talk about hurt
I must have used a thousand lines
Couldn't get a single one to work
But if EVER I should cross your mind
You know exactly where I'll be
Right here where you left me crying
Damn!!!
Hey, hey!!!!
What about me?
What about me?
Hey, baby

Tollin' Bells lyrics - Robert Cray
Well
The big bell is tollin'
Trouble
Is heading north
Well
The big bell, it's tollin'
Trouble
Is heading north
Well, it's so my baby
And it let me
Here all alone
Well
My head
Is so heavy
When the sun starts sinkin' low
Well
My head
Ain't so heavy
When the sun starts sinkin' low
It put my soul
On a wonder
Whew, which way did my baby go?
Well
I heard a loud singing
Saw some slow marching
I heard
Deep moaning
And, oh, that was my whole life
And these tears
From my eyes
Keep on
Streamin' down
I keep crying
For my baby
And I know she can't be found
The big bell is tollin'
Trouble
Is heading north
Well
The big bell, it's tollin'
Trouble
Is heading north
Well, it's so my baby
And it let me
Here all alone
Well
My head
Is so heavy
When the sun starts sinkin' low
Well
My head
Ain't so heavy
When the sun starts sinkin' low
It put my soul
On a wonder
Whew, which way did my baby go?
Well
I heard a loud singing
Saw some slow marching
I heard
Deep moaning
And, oh, that was my whole life
And these tears
From my eyes
Keep on
Streamin' down
I keep crying
For my baby
And I know she can't be found
Nothing Against You lyrics - Robert Cray
Nothin' against you
I don't speak
If I pass you by
Look away when we meet
If I turn my back
And walk the other way
Just leave me alone
To myself for awhile
And believe
It's nothin' against you
Now don't get me wrong
If I don't call
If I don't write
Or let you hear from me at all
If I pull my shades
When you knock on the door
Just leave me alone
To myself for awhile
And believe
Nothin' against you
Ohh, I won't see no one
Leave me alone
You don't need to see me suffer
And hear me weep and moan
Oh, it's hard enough
Just tryin' to face the day
So I don't need none of that
Sorry and all that crap
Just go away
Don't take offense
When I turn you down
But since she's been gone
I don't want anyone around
Just don't be worried about me
I know what I'm doing
Just leave me alone
To myself for awhile
And believe
It's nothin' against you
Nothin' against you
Ohh, leave me alone
I don't speak
If I pass you by
Look away when we meet
If I turn my back
And walk the other way
Just leave me alone
To myself for awhile
And believe
It's nothin' against you
Now don't get me wrong
If I don't call
If I don't write
Or let you hear from me at all
If I pull my shades
When you knock on the door
Just leave me alone
To myself for awhile
And believe
Nothin' against you
Ohh, I won't see no one
Leave me alone
You don't need to see me suffer
And hear me weep and moan
Oh, it's hard enough
Just tryin' to face the day
So I don't need none of that
Sorry and all that crap
Just go away
Don't take offense
When I turn you down
But since she's been gone
I don't want anyone around
Just don't be worried about me
I know what I'm doing
Just leave me alone
To myself for awhile
And believe
It's nothin' against you
Nothin' against you
Ohh, leave me alone
Do That For Me lyrics - Robert Cray
Do that thing you do that makes me feel so good inside
Would you do that for me?
When you do what you do, you rock me out of my socks and shoes, baby
You know I like it
I'm 'bout to lose control
And I want you to know
Now you got my love baby, give me more of yours
Would you do that for me?
Do it for me
Gotta make you mine baby, give me some more time
Would you do that for me?
Do it for me
When I start my day, and try as hard as I can
To make sure you're feelin' good, lend a helping hand
And if you need anything, all you gotta do is tell me
There's nothing I wouldn't do, you know I'm always ready
You've got me heart and soul
And, oh, now you've got my love, baby give me more of yours
Would you do that for me?
Do it for me
Gotta make you mine, and baby kiss me one more time
Would you do that for me?
Do that for me
For me, I'll take you any way that I can
And for you, I hope the feeling is the same
I know that we can work it
Where we can spend more time together just groovin'
Could you do that for me?
I'm 'bout to make a fool of myself
About to fall on my face
If someone else would've come in
He'd catch hell trying to take my place
You can't stop this feeling that I have, that I have that's so bad for you
When you do everything that you do for me, baby
I just can't let you go
And I want you to know
Now you've got my love, baby give me more of yours
Would you do that for me?
Do it for me
Gotta make you mine, and baby kiss me one more time
Would you do that for me?
Do it
Yeah
Now that you've got it
That's the way you do it
Yeah, yeah, yeah
That's the way you do it
Now that you've got it
Yeah, yeah
Ohh!
Baby, kiss me
Ohhhhh
Oh, heah
Oh
Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it
Would you do that for me?
When you do what you do, you rock me out of my socks and shoes, baby
You know I like it
I'm 'bout to lose control
And I want you to know
Now you got my love baby, give me more of yours
Would you do that for me?
Do it for me
Gotta make you mine baby, give me some more time
Would you do that for me?

To make sure you're feelin' good, lend a helping hand
And if you need anything, all you gotta do is tell me
There's nothing I wouldn't do, you know I'm always ready

Back Home lyrics - Robert Cray
If you walk alone
In darkness
Don't turn
Go the wrong way
Mmmmm
If you associate
Among the evil
Don't follow them
Down the wrong road
Mmm, mmm, mmm
You may even flirt
With a little danger
And before long
Without even knowing
It will be hard to find your way back home
Just turn around
See your family behind you
Don't you see the trouble?
Don't you see the trouble way up ahead?
Mmmm
Don't you know that they care
About how you're doin'?
Don't be a fool and
Lose your head
Mmmmm
Don't flirt
Don't mess with danger
Noooo
Just remember what goes around
Will come back right at you
And you may never find your way back home
No, no
You may never find your way back home
No, no
No, you may never
No
It'll be hard to find your way back home
No, no
Hey
No, no
Naw
You'll have no friends
They'll be forsaken
You mess around in the street
Your life might be taken
Oh, no
It's a real bad, bad
Bad, bad
No!
In darkness
Don't turn
Go the wrong way
Mmmmm
If you associate
Among the evil
Don't follow them
Down the wrong road
Mmm, mmm, mmm
You may even flirt
With a little danger
And before long
Without even knowing
It will be hard to find your way back home
Just turn around
See your family behind you
Don't you see the trouble?
Don't you see the trouble way up ahead?
Mmmm
Don't you know that they care
About how you're doin'?
Don't be a fool and
Lose your head
Mmmmm
Don't flirt
Don't mess with danger
Noooo
Just remember what goes around
Will come back right at you
And you may never find your way back home
No, no
You may never find your way back home
No, no
No, you may never
No
It'll be hard to find your way back home
No, no
Hey
No, no
Naw
You'll have no friends
They'll be forsaken
You mess around in the street
Your life might be taken
Oh, no
It's a real bad, bad
Bad, bad
No!
The One In The Middle lyrics - Robert Cray
Sometimes at night
When I close my eyes
I see three women
All standing in a line
The one on the left
She took my heart
The one on the right
Said she wanted to be free
But the one in the middle
I still love her
And I wonder
Does she ever think of me?
In my mind
I've been to a thousand places
When I walk down the street
I stare into a thousand faces
The flame of love
Once shined so brightly
Now it's just
A slow-burning memory
But the one in the middle
I still love her
Oh, and I wonder
Does she ever think of me?
Maybe, she wouldn't even care
No, that's ok
It's all in a dream
It's all in a dream, anyway
But the one in the middle
Oh, I still love her
And I wonder, does she ever think of me?
Ohhhhh, I still love her
And I wonder, does she ever think of me?
When I close my eyes
I see three women
All standing in a line
The one on the left
She took my heart
The one on the right
Said she wanted to be free
But the one in the middle
I still love her
And I wonder
Does she ever think of me?
In my mind
I've been to a thousand places
When I walk down the street
I stare into a thousand faces
The flame of love
Once shined so brightly
Now it's just
A slow-burning memory
But the one in the middle
I still love her
Oh, and I wonder
Does she ever think of me?
Maybe, she wouldn't even care
No, that's ok
It's all in a dream
It's all in a dream, anyway
But the one in the middle
Oh, I still love her
And I wonder, does she ever think of me?
Ohhhhh, I still love her
And I wonder, does she ever think of me?
Little Birds lyrics - Robert Cray
I see a tear in your eye
You look troubled
There's a burning down inside that won't stop
She's says what she wants is her freedom
It's hard to let love just fly away
It's so hard to understand
You're seeing double
It didn't turn out like you planned
It just went on
You can't change the way the wind blows
It just goes where it wants to
Little birds do, too
Little birds do, too
She's got wings
She's gone away
She's got wings
And all you got is shoes
She used to beat your sweet little angel
All she wants is her freedom
You can't change the way the wind blows
Noooo
Noooo
Hey!
Mmmmmm
She wants space
What you gonna do?
Ohhhh
You look troubled
There's a burning down inside that won't stop
She's says what she wants is her freedom
It's hard to let love just fly away
It's so hard to understand
You're seeing double
It didn't turn out like you planned
It just went on
You can't change the way the wind blows
It just goes where it wants to
Little birds do, too
Little birds do, too
She's got wings
She's gone away
She's got wings
And all you got is shoes
She used to beat your sweet little angel
All she wants is her freedom
You can't change the way the wind blows
Noooo
Noooo
Hey!
Mmmmmm
She wants space
What you gonna do?
Ohhhh
Trick Or Treat lyrics - Robert Cray
You say you love me, babe
But you don't know
When I tell you I want to take you out
And you don't want to go, girl
So if you love me
(Don't say you like me)
And if you like me
(Don't say you love me)
I can't wait to Halloween to find out
If it's trick or treat
I love you, babe
But you play a many pack, girl (not sure?)
Cause you know, you know, you know
That ain't where it's at, baby
Cause if you love me
(Don't say you like me)
And if you like me
(Don't say you love me)
Cause I can't wait to Halloween to find out
If it's trick or treat
You can make life good, make it a drag
With all those good things you got cooking in your bag
Now I want you to treat me, baby
Cause you got just what it takes, girl
I've been tricked so many times before
With everything I've made, girl
So if you love me
(Don't say you like me)
And if you like me
(Don't say you love me)
I can't wait to Halloween to find out
If it's trick or treat
What is it, baby?
Tell me, I wanna know
What is it?
Is it tricks or treats?
Gotta know, babe
Is it tricks or treats?
What's in your bag, babe
Is it tricks or treats?
But you don't know
When I tell you I want to take you out
And you don't want to go, girl
So if you love me
(Don't say you like me)
And if you like me
(Don't say you love me)
I can't wait to Halloween to find out
If it's trick or treat
I love you, babe
But you play a many pack, girl (not sure?)
Cause you know, you know, you know
That ain't where it's at, baby
Cause if you love me

What's in your bag, babe
Is it tricks or treats?
Simple Things lyrics - Robert Cray
Look at me
After all these years of lovin'
Can't believe I'm still the one you're dreamin' of
After all these years of love
You still want me
There's a little bit more of me than yesterday
I'm a little bit slower, look at how my hair is grayed
Thought at any time you'd turn and walk away
You still want me
You tell me that you miss me when I go away from home
Just a little overnight trip, honey has it been that long?
How could I have ever done you wrong?
You still want me
I appreciate it
Wooohoohoo
Woohoo,hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Woo, hoo, hoo
Hoo, hoo, hoo
You look as good as the day that we first met
Look at you
The simple things that somehow I forget to say to you
Never make you blue
Look at me
After all these years of lovin'
Lucky me, I'm still the one you're dreamin' of
After all these years of love
You still want me
All these lonely years of lovin'
You still want me
All those lonely, lonely years you suffered
You still want me, yeah

You still want me
After all these years of lovin'
Can't believe I'm still the one you're dreamin' of
After all these years of love
You still want me
There's a little bit more of me than yesterday
I'm a little bit slower, look at how my hair is grayed
Thought at any time you'd turn and walk away

Jealous Minds lyrics - Robert Cray
Some people live to ruin a love so fine
They know they'll never have what's yours and mine
I know things won't get any better while we're apart
So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
I took you out to a party, a high-class affair
You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there
You told them that living with me has really been one big chore
Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
Oh, tell your friends when you see them
When you see them again
Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain
Then don't waste any more time
Because they're nothing but jealous minds
Jealous minds
Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Always trying to tell you what they think of me
Hey, hey, hey
Jealous minds
They know they'll never have what's yours and mine
I know things won't get any better while we're apart
So stop talking to your friends, and try listening with your heart
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
I took you out to a party, a high-class affair
You were talking to your friends, like I wasn't there
You told them that living with me has really been one big chore
Oh, then maybe I should leave, and you'd appreciate me more
They always try to tell you all that they see
Jealous minds will tell you what they think about me
They'll show themselves in time
To be nothing but jealous minds
Oh, tell your friends when you see them
When you see them again
Tell them about the hard times, how we survived the pain
Then don't waste any more time
Because they're nothing but jealous minds
Jealous minds
Ohhhh, they're nothing but jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Hey, hey
Jealous minds
Always trying to tell you what they think of me
Hey, hey, hey
Jealous minds
Not Bad For Love lyrics - Robert Cray
Not bad for love. Not bad at all.
Isn't it amazing, how it's so strong.
We've been around much too long.
To let a little pain, cut us off.
Those days are gone.
Love's not bad at all.
Down on my luck and I was lost.
Could have give up on living, but you didn't let me fall.
No, no...
Now just because, we don't agree, that doesn't mean
That you and me, can't be together,
No, no, no...
I guess we're hard to keep apart.
Love's not bad at all!
Isn't it amazing, how it's so strong.
We've been around much too long.
To let a little pain, cut us off.
Those days are gone.
Love's not bad at all.
Down on my luck and I was lost.
Could have give up on living, but you didn't let me fall.
No, no...
Now just because, we don't agree, that doesn't mean
That you and me, can't be together,
No, no, no...
I guess we're hard to keep apart.
Love's not bad at all!
I Can't Quit lyrics - Robert Cray
I can't quit
Lovin' you
I can't quit
Darling
I'm hypnotized by the things that you do
You lift me up when I'm feeling down
Make me forget why I'm blue
There's no need to wake me now, baby
I belong to you
I can't quit
Loving you
I can't quit
Darling
I'm mystified by the way that you do
All my life I've been looking
But always in vain
Now all of that's changed, baby
Since I have you
Since I have you
Oh, I'm not lying
I've been trying to feel as good as I do
Daytime, midnight, and morning
I wouldn't be alive without you
I can't quit
Loving you
Not gonna quit ya
Darling
I'm paralyzed by the things that you do
All my life I've been lookin'
But always in vain
Now all of that has changed, baby
Now that I have you
All of that has changed, baby
Now that I have your love
There's no need to wake me up, no, no, no
No
Nooooooo
Nooooooo
Never gonna give you up
Noooooo, I can't do it
Noooooo, I can't quit
Never gonna give you up, no, no, no
Lovin' you
I can't quit
Darling
I'm hypnotized by the things that you do
You lift me up when I'm feeling down
Make me forget why I'm blue
There's no need to wake me now, baby
I belong to you
I can't quit
Loving you
I can't quit
Darling
I'm mystified by the way that you do
All my life I've been looking
But always in vain
Now all of that's changed, baby
Since I have you
Since I have you
Oh, I'm not lying
I've been trying to feel as good as I do
Daytime, midnight, and morning
I wouldn't be alive without you
I can't quit
Loving you
Not gonna quit ya
Darling
I'm paralyzed by the things that you do
All my life I've been lookin'
But always in vain
Now all of that has changed, baby
Now that I have you
All of that has changed, baby
Now that I have your love
There's no need to wake me up, no, no, no
No
Nooooooo
Nooooooo
Never gonna give you up
Noooooo, I can't do it
Noooooo, I can't quit
Never gonna give you up, no, no, no
Moan lyrics - Robert Cray
I Gotta moan
I don't feel so good this morning
Ohhh
My baby's been gone a long time
Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to leave?
Ewww
Can't stand being alone
I All I do is cry
And moan
I remember when you used to love me in the morning
Ohh, you used to
Bring my coffee to my bed
I remember when you used to squeeze me
And rub my little achin' head
Squeeze me tight [?]
All I do
Is cry
And moan
I remember the good ole days
I never dreamed that there was a price to pay
Tried, tried, ohhh [?]
If I had just one more day
Maybe there's a chance that I could have made her stay
But now you're gone, and ohhhh
I remember the good ole days
I never dreamed that there was a price to pay
Tried, tried, sooo [?]
If I had just one more day
Maybe there's a chance that I could have made her stay
But, oh, now you're gone, and ohhhh
All I do is weep and moan
Hey!
I don't feel so good this morning
Why did you have to go away?
Why did you have to leave?
Ewww, can't stand being alone
I All I do is cry
And moan
Hey, I
All I do is cry
And moan
Hey, I
All I do is cry
And moan
I remember when
Oh
I remember when
Hey
I don't feel so good this morning
Ewwwwwwww!!
I'll Go On lyrics - Robert Cray
Hey!
Now I've look for you everywhere
But I can't find 'ya
No, no, no
Last time I saw 'ya you were talking on the phone
And after that you ran out the door
And I'll go on
Lovin' you
You might be at the neighbor's
Cause you and her like to take tea once and a while
You might have the car and gone over to Macy's
Cause I know you're a little behind in style
And I'll go on
Loving you
Yeah
Yeah, baby
Hey
Why didn't you come home last night?
Why did you not call me?
When are you gonna come home and squeeze his man?
Cause don't you know that I'm feelin' real lonely
And I'll go on, baby,
Loving you
And I'll go on
You know I'll go on, baby
Lovin' you
Hey!!
Now I've look for you everywhere
But I can't find 'ya

Last time I saw 'ya you were talking on the phone
And after that you ran out the door

Cause you and her like to take tea once and a while
You might have the car and gone over to Macy's
Cause I know you're a little behind in style
And I'll go on
Loving you

Steppin' Out lyrics - Robert Cray
I'm so fed up
Girl, I've had enough
I'm steppin' out tonight
Girl, you're playin' around
Sure enough gonna get me down
I'm steppin' out tonight
Down to the end of my rope
And I've get to get lose
Get a lose before I choke
Ain't no use in you
Beggin' me not to go
I'm steppin' out tonight
Last night you left home
Said you was goin' to your momma's place
That's what I believed
But your mama said
She hadn't seen your face
Girl, you steppin' out on me
Trying to pull the wool over my eyes
But I've been knowin' you too long, baby
For you to try to lie
So don't look at me
So doggoned surprised
I'm steppin' out tonight
Girl, you've put my patience to the test
And I'm gettin' tired, baby
Tired of all your mess
So excuse me
Excuse me while I get dressed
I'm steppin' out tonight
Steppin' out tonight
Steppin' out tonight
Got to get lose
Steppin' out tonight
Hey
Got to get away, baby
Yeah, steppin' out tonight
Hey
Girl, I've had enough
I'm steppin' out tonight
Girl, you're playin' around
Sure enough gonna get me down
I'm steppin' out tonight
Down to the end of my rope
And I've get to get lose
Get a lose before I choke
Ain't no use in you
Beggin' me not to go
I'm steppin' out tonight
Last night you left home
Said you was goin' to your momma's place
That's what I believed
But your mama said
She hadn't seen your face
Girl, you steppin' out on me
Trying to pull the wool over my eyes
But I've been knowin' you too long, baby
For you to try to lie
So don't look at me
So doggoned surprised
I'm steppin' out tonight
Girl, you've put my patience to the test
And I'm gettin' tired, baby
Tired of all your mess
So excuse me
Excuse me while I get dressed
I'm steppin' out tonight
Steppin' out tonight
Steppin' out tonight
Got to get lose
Steppin' out tonight
Hey
Got to get away, baby
Yeah, steppin' out tonight

Never Mattered Much lyrics - Robert Cray
Like a stone
You can't hurt me
Like that old oaktree
I'm as strong as I could be
Like a clock that moves
But goes nowhere
I know just when it's time for me to leave
So this love affair is all over
And it's all right with me
It's hard to make
Nothing go anywhere
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeeeee
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeeee, meeeeeee
So this love affair is all over
And it's all right with me
You just can't make
Nothing go anywhere
I've made up my mind
It's time for me to leave
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeee
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeee, meeeeee
You can't hurt me
Like that old oaktree
I'm as strong as I could be
Like a clock that moves
But goes nowhere
I know just when it's time for me to leave
So this love affair is all over
And it's all right with me
It's hard to make
Nothing go anywhere
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeeeee
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeeee, meeeeeee
So this love affair is all over
And it's all right with me
You just can't make
Nothing go anywhere
I've made up my mind
It's time for me to leave
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeee
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeee, meeeeee
Tell The Landlord lyrics - Robert Cray
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna pack up and leave ya'
Nothin' can make me stay
You did me wrong
You so mean
I give up
Queen beat the king
Some rainy morning
Don't be surprised
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes
You'll look around
For my check
You'll freak out
Start to sweat
Oooh, some rainy morning
Don't be surprised
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes
Flowers on the table
I didn't buy
Champagne in the icebox
Store-bought fries
Ohh, some rainy morning
There'll be surprise
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
And you can tell that landlord
I refuse to pay
Go on and tell him baby
Mmmmmmm
Go on and tell him babe
I refuse to pay
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna pack up and leave ya'
Nothin' can make me stay
You did me wrong
You so mean
I give up
Queen beat the king
Some rainy morning
Don't be surprised
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes
You'll look around
For my check
You'll freak out
Start to sweat
Oooh, some rainy morning
Don't be surprised
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes
Flowers on the table
I didn't buy
Champagne in the icebox
Store-bought fries
Ohh, some rainy morning
There'll be surprise
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
And you can tell that landlord
I refuse to pay
Go on and tell him baby
Mmmmmmm
Go on and tell him babe
I refuse to pay
Little Boy Big lyrics - Robert Cray
So it's all said and done
And you promised you wouldn't do it again
Now where are you going?
You've knocked on someone else's door
And you, jived and told some great big lies about it
Don't you think they know you?
Why, when something goes wrong
Do you walk away from love
Just like it was nothing?
You hide, and then you move on
You don't walk away from a good love
Nooo, little boy big
Now she begged and pleaded with 'ya
Tried and she tried and she tried everything that she could
Could you feel it?
You got one more go round this time, little fella
You better take hold to it if you can
You know you've got to
Can you feel it?
You hide, when something goes wrong
Even if it's just a little thing
That throws you off
Why can't you be strong?
You don't walk away from a good love
Noooo
Why, when something goes wrong
You turn your back on love
Just like it was nothing
You hide, and then you move on
You can't walk away from a good love
Noo, little boy big
No, no
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Little boy big
With your hands in your pocket
You walk down the street singin'
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, little boy
Little boy big
And you promised you wouldn't do it again
Now where are you going?
You've knocked on someone else's door
And you, jived and told some great big lies about it
Don't you think they know you?
Why, when something goes wrong
Do you walk away from love
Just like it was nothing?
You hide, and then you move on
You don't walk away from a good love
Nooo, little boy big
Now she begged and pleaded with 'ya
Tried and she tried and she tried everything that she could
Could you feel it?
You got one more go round this time, little fella
You better take hold to it if you can
You know you've got to
Can you feel it?
You hide, when something goes wrong
Even if it's just a little thing
That throws you off
Why can't you be strong?
You don't walk away from a good love
Noooo
Why, when something goes wrong
You turn your back on love
Just like it was nothing
You hide, and then you move on
You can't walk away from a good love
Noo, little boy big
No, no
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Little boy big
With your hands in your pocket
You walk down the street singin'
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, little boy
Little boy big
Enough For Me lyrics - Robert Cray
You always what serious for granted, uh huh
You think that everything's cool and you think I'm satisfied, no no
You didn't think that it was necessary, uh huh
To call me a baby and tell me don't worry, no no
I wanna know what you intend to do
When you wake up one day with no one next to you
All on your own
No one else home
All on your own
Cause I know when it's enough
And babe, I've had enough
I'm trying to keep you, why I don't know
Cause you won't have a thing to do with this man, no no
I'm back in the corner watching you dance
Hey, feels so bad
Baby so long
Nothing else matters when you're alone always
Time to move along
Cause I know when it's enough
And baby, that's enough for me
Ohh, you never seem to be in any hurry, oh no
I'm beggin' you baby, won't you please have mercy?
I don't believe that you hear what I'm sayin'
You think I'm acting a fool, you think that I'm playin', no
I wanna know what you intend to do
When you wake up one day with no one next to you
You're all on your own
No one else home
You're all on your own
Hey, what 'ya gonna do about it?
You're all on your own
Cause I know when it's enough, and baby that's enough for me
You think that everything's cool and you think I'm satisfied, no no
You didn't think that it was necessary, uh huh
To call me a baby and tell me don't worry, no no
I wanna know what you intend to do
When you wake up one day with no one next to you
All on your own
No one else home
All on your own
Cause I know when it's enough
And babe, I've had enough
I'm trying to keep you, why I don't know
Cause you won't have a thing to do with this man, no no
I'm back in the corner watching you dance
Hey, feels so bad
Baby so long
Nothing else matters when you're alone always
Time to move along
Cause I know when it's enough
And baby, that's enough for me
Ohh, you never seem to be in any hurry, oh no
I'm beggin' you baby, won't you please have mercy?
I don't believe that you hear what I'm sayin'
You think I'm acting a fool, you think that I'm playin', no
I wanna know what you intend to do
When you wake up one day with no one next to you
You're all on your own
No one else home
You're all on your own
Hey, what 'ya gonna do about it?
You're all on your own
Cause I know when it's enough, and baby that's enough for me
Jealous Love lyrics - Robert Cray
Jealous love
Jealous love of mine
Jealous love
Why can't you trust me sometimes?
To be so sweet
And yet so kind
You're killin' my love
With your jealous mind
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohh, you ought to trust me some time
I take you, baby
Everywhere I go
But your good intentions
They never, ever seem to show
And every time that a pretty girl walks by
I catch you watching me, baby
Out of the corner of your eye
To be so sweet
And yet so kind
You know you're killin' my love, baby
With your jealous mind
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohhh
You ought to trust me sometime
I'm home from work
Every day on time
You've got your hand in my pocket
For that number you thought you'd find
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohhh, ohhhh
You ought to trust me, baby
To be so sweet
Ohh, and yet so kind
You know you're killing my love
With your jealous mind
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohh, ohhh
Ohhhh, trust me
Jealous love
Jealous love, yeah
Jealous love of mine
Jealous love
Why can't you trust me sometimes?
To be so sweet
And yet so kind
You're killin' my love
With your jealous mind
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohh, you ought to trust me some time
I take you, baby
Everywhere I go
But your good intentions
They never, ever seem to show
And every time that a pretty girl walks by
I catch you watching me, baby
Out of the corner of your eye
To be so sweet
And yet so kind
You know you're killin' my love, baby
With your jealous mind
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohhh
You ought to trust me sometime
I'm home from work
Every day on time
You've got your hand in my pocket
For that number you thought you'd find
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohhh, ohhhh
You ought to trust me, baby
To be so sweet
Ohh, and yet so kind
You know you're killing my love
With your jealous mind
Jealous love
I want to say it one more time
Ohh, ohhh
Ohhhh, trust me
Jealous love
Jealous love, yeah
Will You Think Of Me lyrics - Robert Cray
You think this world belongs
To you, my love
That's where you're wrong
I've always know that
Consider yourself lucky
You got the best of the deal
How could you grow so cold
And tell me that's how you feel?
When this love is done
When the new ones come
Will you think of me?
Will you think of me?
One last big hug
One last good cry
One last kiss
And then I'll say goodbye
You won't get rid of my love
With no damn headache pill
Oh, the hurt might leave you, baby
But I never will
When this love is done
When the new ones come
Will you think of me?
Yeah, will you think of me?
As I walk out this door
Something tells me you're gonna need me
By that look in your eyes
Ohhh, you gonna need me
One day
You think this world belongs
To you, my love
I know there's somethin'
Making it hard to walk on
To you it may look like nothing
But to me it's a lot
Ohh, when I leave
It doesn't mean that the feeling's gonna stop
When this love is done
When the new ones come
Will you think of me?
Hey, will you think of me?
Heyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
I know you're gonna need my loving
To you, my love
That's where you're wrong
I've always know that
Consider yourself lucky
You got the best of the deal
How could you grow so cold
And tell me that's how you feel?
When this love is done
When the new ones come
Will you think of me?
Will you think of me?
One last big hug
One last good cry
One last kiss
And then I'll say goodbye
You won't get rid of my love
With no damn headache pill
Oh, the hurt might leave you, baby
But I never will
When this love is done
When the new ones come
Will you think of me?
Yeah, will you think of me?
As I walk out this door
Something tells me you're gonna need me
By that look in your eyes
Ohhh, you gonna need me
One day
You think this world belongs
To you, my love
I know there's somethin'
Making it hard to walk on
To you it may look like nothing
But to me it's a lot
Ohh, when I leave
It doesn't mean that the feeling's gonna stop
When this love is done
When the new ones come
Will you think of me?
Hey, will you think of me?
Heyyyyyyyyy!!!!!
I know you're gonna need my loving
Holdin' On lyrics - Robert Cray
I'm holdin' on
I'm just holdin' on
Hey, hey
Ohhh, holdin' on
I was really wrong
Now she's really gone
I used to hold her
I'm never let her down
When she needed me
I was always around
But hey, that's all over now
I was really wrong
Now she's really gone
When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way
Day turned into night
Night turned into day
And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"
I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night
Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room
Just holdin' on
Just holdin' on
Ohhh, When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way
Day turned into night
Night turned into day
And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"
I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night
Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room
Just holdin' on
Just holdin' on
I'm just holdin' on
Hey, hey
Ohhh, holdin' on
I was really wrong
Now she's really gone
I used to hold her
I'm never let her down
When she needed me
I was always around
But hey, that's all over now
I was really wrong
Now she's really gone
When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way
Day turned into night
Night turned into day
And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"
I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night
Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room
Just holdin' on
Just holdin' on
Ohhh, When temptation found me
Wicked water had its way
Day turned into night
Night turned into day
And then I read my fortune
In the bottom of a glass
It said, "She's leavin' you."
"You've had your last chance!"
I'm warning you, brother
Take my advice
Love your woman
Morning, noon, and night
Or you'll end up all alone
Like me in an empty room
Just holdin' on
Just holdin' on
1040 Blues lyrics - Robert Cray
Worried, you betcha ya'
Discouraged I don't know
Every time I see a 1040
Out of my pocket it goes
Ow!
I hate taxes
I work hard for my money
Every April you take it all away
Don't you know I work hard for my money every day, people
You take it all away from me
Ow!
Owwww!
I hate taxes
Taxes gonna break my back I swear
Don't you know I pay a lot more than my share?
I hate taxes
Can't have any fun anymore
Gotta make plans for everything now
Gotta plan for every thing I do, people
Can't go out and have a real good time
Now I've gotta worry about everything
That my little money can buy
Ohhhh!
OWWWWW!
I hate taxes
Taxes gonna break my back I swear
Don't you know I paid a lot more than my share
I hate taxes
You know I've thinkin' about movin' somewhere else
But I can't because I love america too much
Especially California
Yeah
I guess I'm gonna have to pay these taxes
If I'm gonna live here
Ohhh!
Discouraged I don't know
Every time I see a 1040
Out of my pocket it goes
Ow!
I hate taxes
I work hard for my money
Every April you take it all away
Don't you know I work hard for my money every day, people
You take it all away from me
Ow!
Owwww!
I hate taxes
Taxes gonna break my back I swear
Don't you know I pay a lot more than my share?
I hate taxes
Can't have any fun anymore
Gotta make plans for everything now
Gotta plan for every thing I do, people
Can't go out and have a real good time
Now I've gotta worry about everything
That my little money can buy
Ohhhh!
OWWWWW!
I hate taxes
Taxes gonna break my back I swear
Don't you know I paid a lot more than my share
I hate taxes
You know I've thinkin' about movin' somewhere else
But I can't because I love america too much
Especially California
Yeah
I guess I'm gonna have to pay these taxes
If I'm gonna live here
Ohhh!
