In the days of my youth, I was told what it means to be a man
Now I've reached that age, I've tried to do all those things the best I can
No matter how I try, I find my way into the same old jam
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care
Sixteen, I fell in love with a girl as sweet as could be
It only took a couple of days 'til she was rid of me
She swore that she would be all mine and love me till the end
But when I whispered in her ear, I lost another friend, oooh
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care
Solo
Good times, bad times, you know I've had my share
When my woman left home for a brown-eyed man
Well, I still don't seem to care
I know what it means to be alone, I sure do wish I was at home
I don't care what the neighbors say, I'm gonna love you each and every day
You can feel the beat within my heart
Realize, sweet babe, we ain't ever gonna part
Babe, I'm Gonna Leave You
Babe, baby, baby, I'm gonna leave you
I said baby, you know I'm gonna leave you
I'll leave you in the summertime
Leave you when the summer comes a-rollin'
Leave you when the summer comes along
Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe
Baby, baby, I wanna leave you
I ain't jokin' woman, I got to ramble
Oh, yeah, baby, baby, I believin'
We really got to ramble
I can hear it callin' me the way it used to do
I can hear it callin' me back home!
Babe, oh, babe... I'm gonna leave you
Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you
Oh, I can hear it callin' me
I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do? Ooooh
I know, I know, I know I never, never, never, never, never gonna leave you babe
But I got to go away from this place
I've got to quit you, yeah
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, baby, ooh, don't you hear it callin' me?
Oh, woman, woman, I know, I know
It feels good to have you back again
And I know that one day, baby, it's gonna really grow, yes it is
We gonna go walkin' through the park every day
Come what may, every day, ooh
My my my my my, my babe
I'm gonna leave you, go away...
... Oh I miss you, baby
It was really, really good
You made me happy every single day
But now... I've got to go away! Oh, oh, oh
Baby, baby, baby
That's when it's callin' me
I said that's when it's callin' me back home...
You Shook Me
You know you shook me. You shook me all night long
You know you shook me, baby. You shook me all night long
You shook me so hard, baby. Baby, baby, please come home
I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing
I have a bird that whistles and I have birds that sing
I have a babe, won't do nothing... oh, oh, buy a diamond ring
You know you shook me, babe. You shook me all night long
I know you really, really did, babe
I said you shook me, baby. You shook me all night long
You shook me so hard, baby
Babe, you shook me all, all, all, all, all, all, all, all night long
Dazed And Confused
Been dazed and confused for so long it's not true
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you
Lots of people talkin', few of them know
Soul of a woman was created below, yeah
You hurt and abuse tellin' all of your lies
Run round sweet baby, Lord how they hypnotize
Sweet little baby, I don't know where you've been
Gonna love you baby, here I come again
Every day I work so hard bringin' home my hard-earned pay
Try to love you baby, but you push me away
Don't know where you're goin', I don't know just where you've been
Sweet little baby, I want you again
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh, yeah! Alright!
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah
Oh don't leave me so confused, no! Oh, baby!
Been dazed and confused for so long, it's not true
Wanted a woman never bargained for you
Take it easy baby, let them say what they will
(Will your) tongue wag so much when I send you the bill?
Ooh, yeah! Alright!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Your Time Is Gonna Come
Lyin', cheatin', hurtin', that's all you seem to do
Messin' around with every guy in town
Puttin' me down for thinkin' of someone new
Always the same, playin' your game
Drive me insane, trouble is gonna come to you
One of these days and it won't be long
You'll look for me but baby, I'll be gone
This is all I gotta say to you woman
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Made up my mind to break you this time
Won't be so fine, it's my turn to cry
Do what you want, I won't take the brunt
It's fadin' away, can't feel you anymore
Don't care what you say 'cause I'm goin' away to stay
Gonna make you pay for that great big hole in my heart
People talkin' all around
Watch out woman, no longer
Is the joke gonna be on my heart
You been bad to me woman
But it's coming back home to you
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Your time is gonna come
Hey, girl, stop what you're doin'!
Hey, girl, you'll drive me to ruin
I don't know what it is that I like about you, but I like it a lot
Won't let me hold you, Let me feel your lovin' charms
Communication breakdown, it's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane!
Hey, girl, I got something I think you ought to know
Hey, babe, I wanna tell you that I love you so
I wanna hold you in my arms, yeah!
I'm never gonna let you go,'Cause I like your charms
Communication breakdown, it's always the same
I'm having a nervous breakdown, drive me insane!
I Can't Quit You Baby
I Can't Quit You, Baby, so I'm gonna put you down for awhile
I said, I can't quit you, baby, I guess I gotta put you down for awhile
Said you messed up my happy home, made me mistreat my only child
Said you know I love you, baby, my love for you I could never hide
Oh, you know I love you, baby, my love for you I could never hide
When I feel you near me little girl, I know you are my one desire
x2:
When you hear me moaning and groaning, baby
You know it hurts me deep down inside
Oh, when you hear me holler baby, you know you're my one desire
Yes you are
How Many More Times
How many more times, treat me the way you wanna do?
How many more times, treat me the way you wanna do?
When I give you all my love, please, please be true
I'll give you all I've got to give, rings, pearls, and all
I'll give you all I've got to give, rings, pearls, and all
I've got to get you together baby, I'm sure, sure you're gonna crawl
Spoken:
I was a young man, I couldn't resist
Started thinkin' it over, just what I had missed
Got me a girl and I kissed her and then and then...
Whoops, oh Lord, well I did it again
Now I've got ten children of my own
I got another child on the way that makes eleven
But I'm in constant heaven
I know it's all right in my mind
'Cause I got a little school girl and she's all mine
I can't get through to her 'cause it doesn't permit
But I'm gonna give her everything I've got to give
Oh, Rosie, oh, girl. Oh, Rosie, oh, yeah
Steal away now, steal away
Steal away, baby, steal away
Little Robert Anthony wants to come and play
Why don't you come for me, baby, steal away, alright, alright
Well they call me the hunter, that's my name
Call me the hunter, that's how I got my fame
Ain't no need to hide, Ain't no need to run
'Cause I've got you in the sights of my... gun!
How many more times, barrelhouse all night long
How many more times, barrelhouse all night long
Well I've got to get to you, baby, oh, please come home
Why don't you listen to me, babe
Why don't you please come home?
Why don't you please come home?
Why don't you please come home?
