For to long now I have wanted you. All for me 'cause when I'm down. Ah, you take me where I wanna be. I know, oh just what's on your mind. You know you can get it baby.
Oh it happens every now and then. Along the banks of the Potamus. When me and the boys gather some toys. And take care of a little bit. . Sometimes it's crazy, sometimes it's hazy.
I'm lookin' for a girl. With a sultry stare. I know it's never perfect. I know it's not gonna last. I've been waitin' all year. Just to get a chance. Now I've had so many.
Poor old man came from Mississippi. Nothin' on his mind but a cheap fifth of whiskey. Playin' his guitar, got into the city. Workin' on the streets just to make a living.
A gifted man, he works so smooth. Slight of hand, his every move. Twist of fate has touched his life. Slap to the face, he wont rise and shine. Innocence has lost its style, ooh.
Look outside your window, see where ya been. Ya see morning shadows coming on again. Make your sacrifice if you play to win. Someone will pay the price.
One more day gone and pass you by. Got to find a better way. One more night you'll have another try. To take these blues away. . People tell me what I need, no, they dont see.
