about

Another slightly atypical blues composition. Not much more to say about it really, just another unrequited love song.

lyrics

Woke up this morning 'bout as early as the doves,
Wan't to spend all my time at home making love,
But it's three in the morning and there's nobody in my bed.
I love you mama, you know that I do,
But love like mine ain't worth very much to you,
It's three in the morning time to write another hard-luck song.

Ch: I'm your's baby, day and night,
You won't see me putting up a fight,
I'm your's, honey won't you say the word.
Cause I need you mama, like a flower to your sun,
Tell me what's on the tip of your tongue,
I'm your's, baby won't you say you'll be mine.

Now the more I rock and the more I roll,
The more you women gonna lose control,
Come on baby won't you slide on over to me.
I can teach you how to shimmy I can show you how to shake,
I said woah woah baby 'til your body aches,
Come on mama, don't you know life can be that sweet?

Now champagne won't make you crazy,
Cocaine ain't ain't gonna kill you baby,
And a little bit of reefer might make you feel lazy sure.
But look at me honey, I'm all right,
I'll be over there dancing 'til the end of the night,
Come on mama won't you have just one little dance with me?
