"How Many More Years"

"How Many More Years"


How Many More Years, have I got to let you dog me around
How many more years, have I got to let you dog me around
I'd soon rather be dead, sleeping six feet in the ground
I'm gonna fall on my knees, I'm gonna raise up my right hand
I'm gonna fall on my knees, I'm gonna raise up my right hand
Say I'd feel much better darling, if you'd just only understand
I'm going upstairs, I'm gonna bring back down my clothes
I'm going upstairs, I'm gonna bring back down my clothes, do them all
If anybody ask about me, just tell'em I walked out on

"Hummingbird"

"Hummingbird"


Sometimes I get impatient
but she cools me without words
and she comes so sweet and so plain
my hummingbird and have you heard
that I thought my life had ended
but I find that it's just begun
cause she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
oh she's little and she loves me
too much for words to say
when I see her in the morning sleeping
she's little and she loves me
to my lucky day
hummingbird don't fly away

When I'm feeling wild and lonesome
she knows the words to say
and she gives me a little understanding
in her special way
and I just have to say
in my life I loved a woman
because she's more than I deserve
and she gets me where I live
I'll give all I have to give
I'm talking about that hummingbird
oh she's little and she loves me
too much for words to say
when I see her in the morning sleeping
she's little and she loves me
to my lucky day
hummingbird don't fly away

"I Can Hear My Name"

"I Can Hear My Name"


I can hear my name ringin', ringin' all up and down the line
Yes I can hear my name ringin', ringin' all up and down the line
I don't believe my woman loves me, I believe I'm just messin' up my time

Yes, I have the blues before sunrise, with the tears gettin' to my eyes
I have the blues before sunrise and the tears gettin' to my eyes
Yes, I get that funny feeling, it's the feeling I do despise

Yes, last night as I laid there dreamin', I was layin' there by myself
Yes, last night as I laid dreamin', I was layin' there by myself
I was just thinkin' if my woman don't love me, I hope she's not in love with nobody else

"I Can't Explain"

"I Can't Explain"


Oh, I can't explain baby
But heaven only knows why
Oh, I can't explain
And heaven only knows why
Yes, I'll be in love with you baby
I guess until the day I die

You are to me, baby
What the water is to the sea
Oh, you are to me, baby
What the water is to the sea
I only want your love, baby
So tell me why don't you want me

Yes, I don't believe in miracles
I believe what's to be will be
Yes, I don't believe, I don't believe in miracles
I only believe what's to be will be
Yes but if I did believe in miracles, baby
Baby, you would be a miracle to me

Yes, you're my first thought baby
Yes my last and in between
Oh, you're my first thought baby
Yes my last and in between
I say you're the greatest champion baby
Oh that any man has ever seen

"I Can't Let You Go"

"I Can't Let You Go"


What did I do wrong, baby
I tried to keep you satisfied
Whenever you needed me
I was right there by your side
Now tell me
What's the reason, baby
What's the reason
You're leaving me
I ain't got nobody else
Baby, it's always been you
'Cause there ain't nobody
Ain't nobody else
Can make me feel the way you do
I love you, I love you
I love you so, baby
You know I just can't
I just can't let you go

"I Don't Want You Cuttin' Off Your Hair"

"I Don't Want You Cuttin' Off Your Hair"


You painted your lips baby
And you painted your eyes too
Its gettin' to the place now woman
Till I can't hardly recognize you
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing around baby
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair

I didn't say nothing to you baby
When you were wearing bikinis for close
Oh I even stood around baby
I watched you paint your toes
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing up woman
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair

There's something about your girlfriend baby
I swear I can't understand
She got her hair cutt off the other day
And now she looks just like a man
If that's what it takes to be hip baby
Oh, I want you to be a square
I don't want you messing up baby
Oh, I don't want you cutting of your hair

"I Done Got Wise"

"I Done Got Wise"


I done made up my mind baby
There just got to be a change
Whoah, I made up my mind
Baby, there's just got to be a change
Oh, I think you're cheatin' on me baby
Oh, because you been actin' too strange
When I leave home early in the mornin' you're smilin' baby
And your face is never sad
Oh, when I leave home early in the mornin' mama
Your face is never sad
Yes, but when I have the day off and stay at home
Oh, I do believe it makes you mad
Oh, I know you think you're smart baby
And you think you're puttin' something over on me
Oh, I know you think you're smart baby
And you think you're puttin' something over on me
Oh, but I done got wise to you baby
And I ain't the fool that I used to be

"I Get So Weary"

"I Get So Weary"


I get so weary every time the sun goes down
I get so weary in the evening when the sun goes down
I get so lonesome when my baby's not around

When I go to bed at night, and the birds began to call
When I go to bed at night, and the birds began to call
I am here so sad and lonely for my baby
And that ain't all

When I get up in the morning just before the break of day
Oh, I get up in the morning just before the break of day
Thinking about my baby
But I know she's on her way

"I Got Some Help I Don't Need"

"I Got Some Help I Don't Need"


All of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
I've said all of your affection is gone baby and your love is growing cold
Hey, I've got a new story to tell you this evening, baby
One that ain't never been told
I went to work the other day
But I thought that I would double back
And that car I saw sitting in front of my door
Looked like a brand new, a brand new Cadillac, yeah!
I ain't got none now baby
I think you've been cheating on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need
The iceman came by this morning
And you know he didn't leave no ice
The postman came by later baby
And he didn't even ring twice
I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some outside help
That I don't think I really need
Now, I want you to tell the iceman
The next time he'd better leave some ice
And I want you to tell the postman
He'd better ring more than twice
And when I come home from work in the morning
Better still be some groceries on the shelf
I want to tell that slick insurance man
That he'd better write some insurance on his self
Yes, I think you've been cheating on me
I think you're running out on me
I believe to my soul baby, that you've given me some help, some help
Some help, I don't really need
