Sweet thing, you're dead now You're dead, yeah You're out cold, but live on Now, now at Christmas time, and the whole year round Right on, right on Look here, sweet thing, let me explain myself, baby When I say "you're dead," I mean you're really out of sight Out of sight, totally together But you let me down now, you didn't even defend yourself You didn't defend yourself And you left me like, oh no, I can't say this on record But I'ma try to write this little old letter and let you dig my little old rap It starts like this, listen to it For what it's worth, for what it could mean to you and I both, later on:
Dear sweet thing, fox, all the beautiful things, all the little names that I give you I sit here so aggravated and bewildered because you didn't, you know, you didn't come home You didn't come straight back to me last night No fussin', no fightin', no nothin', you just up and split with another cat Of course, I found out later he was your friend And this much, this morning, I was able, I was able to understand that After a very hectic night, you can dig the night was long Now, I made it clear as possible, as possibly I could say it Baby, don't go to strangers, come on home to me Now, it's true, it's true, this is a man's world But it wouldn't be nothin' without your kind That I see now, after 24 hours of sufferin', tears, cold sweat
Why does my girl always have to be The one to go south and go away from me? And leave me stringing on a tree, dangling on a string That's alright, I'ma be there when you come back But I'm gon' give you this little old rap so we can get this together Since you gon', you know, smoke it in a pipe But understand what I'm sayin', I want you to know where I'm comin' from Now, like, I have a right, you know, to like come on with this old Aggravated or antagonizing rap because I feel a little down But I think you gon' make it alright 'cause you're just together that way Now, baby, can't you be conscious of like every moment in the day and night And let all of our moves be for each other? Together, you know And completely out of sight, completely out of sight in every way And how can I explain it when we live and concentrate on being happy 100 percent In mellow tone, however Yes, I know sometimes that you aren't mellow But, you know, deep down inside I know you're mellow people Well, at least, not as mellow as I hope you would be sometime But you know how to do something about that, too 'Cause you're just too good to be anything but you Now, I'm still, I'm still willing to help for, let's say, help each other And I don't care what it take, even if we have to sleep in a tent As long as I know that we are close together and that vibrations of your love and affection And the warmth of you is there
Can't you see that this opportunity comes once in a lifetime? Sometimes I wanna know, are you livin' in a past time? Pastime things right before your eyes, you know Well, sometimes it just seems it's impossible for you to see You're not blind, you know, you're just hardheaded, stubborn, but that's alright Those are the sweet things that makes you you, and I wouldn't take nobody else but you
You let my flame go out last night You let my flame go out You know, I don't expect, like, you can sleep James Brown or you can sleep your man But since I'm your man, you can even sleep me, James Brown That's what we're talking about, we're not talking about John Doe Maybe Johnny Terry or somebody, or Bobby Byrd We're talking about me and you, or you and I You wanna be, you know, but saying me and you makes it close, you know I can feel you that way That's alright, just take your timeTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
