Well you keep on talkin' bout it
Till you're stone cold blue in the face
But there ain't nothing darling
That true love can't replace
Ya, you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Ya, you're right back, right back,
Doin' the same old things again
Well you're money hungry
And your heart is full of greed
Tellin' everybody you get everything you need
So you say
You're right, right back
Doin' the same old thing again
Ya for me it's the same old movie
Same movie just a different scene
Never meaning what you're sayin'
Never sayin' what you mean
Now you're right, right back
Trying to pretend
Ya I said, you're right, right back
Doin' the same old thing again
You're money hungry
And you're heart is full of greed
Tellin' everybody you get everything you need
You know it's a lie
And now you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Doin' the same old thing again
Ya you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Ya you're right, right back
Doin' the same old things again
Ahhhh
Right back
Right back
Right back
Now you're right, right back
Tryin' to pretend
Doin' the same old thing again
Right back, tryin' to pretend
Right back doin' the same old thing again
Right back
Right back

Second guessin' first impressions, there you go
again
Rushing off in all directions, since I don't know
when
All day long you're building walls, you're building
walls all day
Putting ceilings on your feelings, when they should
fly away
Don't you think it's time you quit it
Don't you think it's time you admit it
Your heart is more worthy of trust,
than the thoughts in your mind that sit there
gathering dust
Everything you're looking for, you'll know when
it's real
You'll know when you've found it, by the way you
feel
Writing down your deepest emotions, with your pen
in hand
Your piece of paper flew out the window, you
watched it try and land
You felt bad as it flew out of sight, a part of
your heart alone in the night
All of a sudden you didn't mind it, when you
pictured that lonely stranger that would find
it
Everything you're looking for, you'll know when
it's real
You'll know when you've found it, by the way you
feel

Clouds, one by one, fill the sky,
just like these tears that fill my eyes
I know by now she ain't comin' back,
I watch my world slowly fade into black
Look out my window it's still rainin'
Look out my window it's still rainin'
They say that time heals everything,
I've felt the pain that love can bring
It don't get no better with each passing day,
any hope I had is slowly slipping away
Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Look out my window, it's still rainin'
I thought the morning would rescue me,
but the rain keeps falling endlessly, endlessly
Sometimes I wonder what'll become of me,
there ain't much left of what I used to be
Her love shone on me like the morning light,
now here I am alone again tonight
Look out my window, it's still rainin'
Look out my window, it's still rainin'

I wonder about her, I wonder where she went from
here
Still wonder about her, but nothing’s
comin’ in too clear
Ssince she left me all alone my days go by like
years
Well I’m thinkin’ about her, and all the
things she used to say
Still I’m thinkin’ about her, but
something’s getting in the way
I remember when she told me she would up and leave
me someday
I drive around in circles through the city
Just waitin’ for the lights to change
But right about when midnight hits me
Moonlight gets me feelin’ kind of crazy
I wonder about her, does she still wear that same
old ring
I still wonder about her and I know it ain’t
no big thing
Well she left me all alone now, and I’m just
waiting for my phone to ring
I’ve been dreaming about her, I guess I
never really knew,
that living without her was more than I could ever
do
Because she ain’t comin’ back, no she
ain’t comin’ back,
No she ain’t comin’ back, 'cause there's
nothin’ left to come back to

Oh how I love you babe, how I wish you were
mine
I would candy coat you with my affection babe,
and I'd love you all the time
All my love is so sweet, almost good enough for you
to eat
Not too big on thinking, not so big I'm outta
size
When you see how big is my lovin', honey you'll
finally realize that I'm
I'm your sugarman, all my love is so sweet
I got more candy for you babe,
than any man you'll ever meet
Some men bring you flowers, some men diamond
rings
Come into my candy store babe, I got everything
'Cause I'm your sugarman babe, all my love is so
sweet
Down deep I got a great big heart,
from a last sincerin' time that beats,
you know I'm your sugarman babe

I have been to Memphis but I couldn't find no
peace
My soul is feeling restless and I need some
relief
I'm heading for the Delta, see what I can find
I know the river holds the answers
that'll ease my worried mind
Take me down to the levee1 where the
women sing
Lay me down like an angel with a broken wing
Take me down to the levee where the river
flows,
gon' throw my blues off the levee and let them
go
Well, I have been to Natchez, been down to Baton
Rouge,
but the Delta keeps on callin' me no matter what I
do
Chorus
I'm drivin' through the darkness, down Highway
61,
heading for the crossroads like the ones before me
done
__________
Note 1: origin: from the old French word
levée, act of raising, from lever to raise.
An embankment for preventing flooding, or a river
landing place, also, a continuous dike or ridge (as
of earth) for confining the irrigation areas of
land to be flooded. A levee camp therefore is a
work camp for building or improving dikes to
prevent rivers from flooding the land, primarily in
the Mississippi
Delta area.

Oh, there’s got to be a change,
things just can’t stay the same
If I got any worse off,
I’d have myself to blame
I’ve played the blues so long now,
there ain’t nothin’ left for me to do
I just can’t give it up,
if I do my life would be through
Well now I’ve been to Kentucky, Chicago
too,
all over St. Louis, ain’t nothin’ left to
do, baby
But I’ll play the blues for you, yes I
will,
well I’ve been down to Texas,
to the international revenue
I ain’t got no money now, honey now,
ain’t nothin’ left to do
Well I’ll play the blues for you

Well I laid down last night, too tired to wake
I had a chill this mornin', too tired to shake
I got a good poker hand, too tired to win
I can hear my baby callin', too tired to let her
in
Well I'm tired, yes I'm tired babe
Too tired now, too tired for anything
Too tired to walk , too tired to run
I can hear my baby knockin'
Too tired
Too tired
Too tired babe, yes I'm tired
Too tired now
Too tired for anything
Break it down now
Too tired of prosperity, too tired o' luck
I'm sittin' on a pin, I'm too tired to get up
Well I'm tired, yes I'm tired babe
Too tired now
Too tired for anything, I'm tired babe

The tar in the street starts to melt from the
heat,
and the sweats runnin' down from my hair
I walked 20 miles and I'm dragging my feet,
and I'll walk 20 more I don't care
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
I'm like a ghost some people can't see,
others drive by and stare
A shadow that drifts by the side of the road,
it's like I'm not even there
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone
Well I've never been part of the game,
the life that I live is my own
All that I know is that I was born,
to wander this world all alone, all alone
Some people are born with their lives all laid
out,
and all their success is assured
Some people work hard all their lives for
nothin'
They take it and don't say a word,
they don't say a word
Sometimes it's like I don't even exist,
even God has lost track of my soul
Why else would he leave me out here like this,
to wander this world all alone
And I'll wander this world, wander this world
Wander this world, wander this world all alone

When I’m all alone, when I’m feelin’
Blue
No one understands me, baby, nobody but you
Through all the sleepless nights, and the rainy day
till the sun is nowhere in view
The only way I make it through is when I come to
you,
and in my darkest hour, when the midnight shadows
fall
Baby you got the power to make the angels come to
call
I just hold you in my arms, and let music in my
heart play the whole night through
When I come to you, I felt so brand new, when I
come to you
When I come to you, you make it all right again
When I come to you, you keep me from the
howlin’ wind,
and feel brand new, when I come to you
