Hey little girl are you talking to me
You say you’re going back to your use to be
Always seems like something’s wrong
You know me I don’t come on strong

Just like Jackie told me
When he said
This ain’t no big thing
No big thing

Cool down baby now I wish you would
Entitlement don’t do no good
Misunderstanding
Well, I ain’t stoned
Don’t try throwing
Me a bone

Just like Jackie told
When he said
This ain’t no big thing
No big thing

Why you worry
Oh baby what’s your hurry
This isn’t changing anything
Whoa, whoa oh

You say we’re living on borrowed time
Oh I can’t control what’s in your mind
There’s somebody knocking
Well, come on in
You want to go
Well go with him

Just like Jackie told me
When he said
This ain’t no big thing
No big thing

Just like Jackie told me
Oh he always told me
This ain’t no big thing
It’s alright
Oh it’s alright now
It’s alright
Oh it’s alright now

I know it’s a sin
I know I told you before
I’m a runner
From the very moment I saw you
Like a dog in the nighttime
He’s on a creep
God knows what he’s doing

All the while you sleep

Well a man needs loving
Well so do you
You say the time for love is now
But, is that love
Is that love

Don’t say this changes everything
It’s so hard to tell
When you’re living in a place they calling buy and sell

We keep walking in the rain
Just trying to survive
This is the life we’ve chosen
You’ve got to make up your mind

Oh a man needs loving
Well, so do you
You say the time for love is now
But, is that love

Honey is that love
Oh is that love
Is that love

Oh a man needs loving
Well, so do you
You say the time for love is now
But, is that love
Oh, is that love
Oh, is that love

Honey is that love, is that love
Honey is that love
Don’t throw it all away

Stepping off long ago
Got off the bus and didn’t let go
Lots of people living in between
Say what they want
But not what they mean
And my man Little Joe
Do what he wants, do what he knows
But, sometimes he gets too high
Losing everything he’s got

Then there comes a time
For stepping off the shadow line

Now’s the time for standing up
For all the mistakes, and all the bad luck
And in this tangled business I see
All the vain hostility
And the quietness comes for none
For the Gods love no one
In this holiness of terror
Is where I found the hidden charms

Then there comes a time
For stepping off the shadow line

Walking round like a man on fire
Oh you got things on your mind
You could burn the flesh off my bones now
But, I still would stand alone
Stand alone, stand alone  
Well, come on

Then there comes a time
For stepping off the shadow line
Stepping off the shadow line
If you ever get off, feel so lonely
If you ever get off, don’t be afraid
Stepping off the shadow line
Do you feel it
Do you feel it
Do you feel it, now

Well, walking down this street, yeah
In this place they call my town
Well, I’m feeling like a ghost
Sitting here on this bench

They don’t know it
Well, I’m back in town

Well, was it right or wrong
Well, I just don’t know
Yeah, playing it like it’s dealt
Sometime you get killed for trying

They don’t know it
That I’m back in town
Oh baby I’m back
Oh, I’m coming for you now

Well, it seems so strange to me
How you never broke the law
Well, you say your old friends are just like gold to you
Oh, ain’t it the truth now

They don’t know it
Well I’m back in town
Oh baby I’m back
Oh, I’m coming for you now
Let’s go

You hear me calling, well nobody home
You hear me calling, well nobody home
Oh, ain’t nobody home
Oh, ain’t nobody home

My mind is working overtime
Just thinking about you
I know we got some heart fixing business
But I still don’t know what to do

It seemed like yesterday
Everything was fine
Now you don’t come home at night
I’m just about losing my mind

You say you got your mind made up 
And now you’re moving on
Don’t think that I’ll be waiting here
Because I’m gone, baby gone

Crime of love, don’t do no good
Except breaking up me and you
Crime of love ain’t nothing new
Except breaking down what we once knew

Looking back on what went wrong
Now I think I see
Sometimes you just got to change
And you can’t live in yesterday
No you can’t live in yesterday
No you can’t live in yesterday
Come on

Crime of love don’t do no good
Except breaking up me and you
Crime of love it ain’t nothing new
Except breaking down what we once knew

It’s a crime of love
It’s a crime of love
It still be going on
You ain’t going stop it
No matter how you try
It still be going on
Ain’t going to stop it
Even when you die
Still be going, still be going on

Look a here
What’s coming down
Lots of trouble
Coming to this town
There’s no escaping, you don’t have to wait
You’re getting rolled by the hand of fate

It’s a cruel world
No doubt about it
It’s a cruel world
Have some mercy on me
Hear my plea now

You see a man
Don’t know who he is
What’s in his mind or what he did
May steal your kids, and kill your wife
Burn down your house, and become your life

It’s a cruel world
No doubt about it
It’s a cruel world
Have some mercy on me

You got to find your way out here
And sometimes it gets lonely
Just can’t live inside this fear
When it rains it pours

It’s a cruel world, no doubt about it
It’s a cruel world, no doubt about it
It’s a cruel world, have some mercy on me

May take your family
May take your life
Destroy your mind and your body too
There’s no exceptions if you live

It’s a cruel world
No doubt about it
It’s a cruel world
No doubt about it
It’s a cruel world
Have some mercy on me
Have some mercy on me

Here you come again
Pistol in your hand
Looking young and stupid
But you need another plan
Remember when I told you
Where the bad guys are
Living in a prison, or a cemetery yard

Things are breaking down about to explode
And the same things going down all over the world

You got all the money
You hold all the cards
It was a gentleman’s agreement
Oh we ain’t getting far
Tell me how this happened
Oh, how it came to be
When some got so much
Others live in misery

Things are breaking down about to explode
And the same thing’s going down all over the world

Here you go again
Oh we’re all honest men
Politics, religion
They only steal when they can
Fix was in from the beginning
It’s so easy to see
When they sold you good and evil
Oh, the rest is history

Things are breaking down about to explode
And the same things going down all over the world
Yeah the same things going down all over the world

Don’t got to worry
Yeah we gonna get on down
We’re gonna keep it real simple
Here we go round and round
Don’t let nobody tell you what to think or do
Selling you some new sensation like it’s a golden rule

I’m gonna holler
Oh yeah, I’m gonna shout

Do you hear me now brothers, all of my sisters too
Remember nobody put those chains on you
Take these moments in silence that’s allowed
This thing they’ll never get from us what’s truly ours

I’m gonna holler
Oh yeah, I’m gonna shout

Get down turn around is what you gonna do
Remember let them get those hooks in you
It’s so easy baby

I’m gonna holler oh yeah I’m gonna shout
Do you hear me now brother what I’m talking about
Come on now sister let me hear you shout
What we’re talking about
What we’re talking about

Here it comes now
Here it comes
Here it comes now
Here it comes

.

I got a key
Yeah it shines like gold
Some will say
She ain’t got no soul

Tight like this, tight like that
Hear me baby, I ain’t coming back
Yeah, I got a key
It shines like gold

She told me once
Yeah, I heard it twice
She said by fifty-eight
You’re gonna be on ice

Tight like this, tight like that
Hear me baby, I ain’t coming back
Oh, I got a key
Shines like gold

Hold me now cause there ain’t no later
She keep talking like Johnny Revelator
Oh, it’s tight like that

Hold me now cause there ain’t no later
She keep talking like Johnny Revelator
Oh, yeah it’s tight like that

Hear me now
Cause I’m a sinner
Bringing me up
Oh in front of Saint Peter
Gonna hear my crimes
Gonna tell my sins
He said, boy don’t you know
You done walked with him
Tight like this, tight like that
Hear me baby, I ain’t coming back
Well, I got a key
Shines like gold
Tight like this, tight like that
Hear me baby, I ain’t coming back
Well, I got a key
It shines like gold

She said you’re gonna ride that blue train forever
She said you’re gonna ride it all alone
Oh, all alone

Stare at the stranger lost in the sunset
Look at his eyes there ain’t no tears left
I hear all the sound and feel his fury
Ruthlessly evil
But I must know the story

Or, will I wander
All of my lifetime
Or is it a dream
That’s only in my mind

You’re chalking time
You’re thinking that you know
That’s when exactly
When baby you don’t know
Faithless liar so unforgiving
You just keep just talking
About your new religion

Or, will I wander
All of my lifetime
Or, is it a dream
That’s only in my mind

You know I’m headed for some kind of breakdown
Why does it always got to be some kind of shakedown
All of my days
All of my nights
All the time

Stare at the stranger feel his fury
Ruthlessly evil
Well I must know the story
Time ain’t on my side
