Live At The Bottom Line Lyrics
Got to Get You off My Mind
(S. Burke/D. Burke/J. B. Moore)
Sad story, baby
Every word is true
Got to get you off my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
You found somebody new
And our romance is through
Now listen to me, baby
I'm gonna throw your picture away
You didn't want my love any old way
I know you found somebody new
And our romance is through
And that's why I say, baby
I got to get off my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
Took my love and my money too, baby
And our romance is through
But wait a minute, darling
Some folks love is hard and strong
Baby, that's the kind of love that lingers on
Some folks love, well, it's swift and fast
That's the kind of love that'll never last
We had love that was in between, yes we did
And to me it was like a dream
We had to stay together till June
And a problem brought us gloom
And that's why I say, baby
I got to get off my mind
I know it's just a matter of time
I know you found somebody new
And our romance is through
I thought at the start
That love would always stay
Yes, I did, baby
But now I opened up my eyes
I finally realized
I saw it slipping away
And that's why I say, baby
I got to get you off my mind
'Cause I know it's just a matter of time
You found somebody new
And our romance is new
It's all over, baby
Our romance is through
Goodbye, darling
You broke my heart, baby
Yes you did

Without Love
(I. J. Hunter/C. Franklin)
All night long I could not sleep
For ringing in my ear
I heard a sweet, soft melody, yes I did
The words at first, I couldn't make out clear
The black cloud had drifted away
And, baby, this is what I heard her say, she said
Without love, there's nothing you can do - oh, oh, oh
Without love, you're not really you - oh, baby
All night long she spoke to me
She whispered in my ear
Beneath that sweet, soft melody
She said, "Don't you know that a rich man
A rich man that might be poor
If money is all that he has"
Without love, there's nothing you can do - oh, oh, oh
Without love, you're not really you - oh, baby
And all night long she spoke to me
She whispered in my ear
Way beneath that sweet, soft melody
And this is what she said
She said, "Hey, baby, don't you know that a rich man
A rich man that might be poor
If money is all that he has"
Baby, without love, there's nothing you can do - oh, oh, oh
Without love, you're not really you - oh, oh, oh

Sweeter Than Honey
(S. Van Zandt)
Sweeter than honey, believe it
Better than blue skies or morning dew
I spend all my money, I don't need it
Just as long as I've got you
You know where it is with just one look
I don't need movies or a picture book
You know I'm talking about love, love, love
Ain't nothing but love, love, love
Oh I'm in love, love, love
And honey, I'm talking about the real thing
And that kind of love don't come easy
Ain't much of it in the world around you
That kind of love don't come easy
Honey, I'm so glad I found you
Ooh, yea yea yea
Warmer than sunlight, my baby
I didn't live 'till I felt her touch
Now I'm feeling weak and strong and crazy
I never wanted anything so much
And she understands before I speak a word
I know she's more than I deserve
You know I'm talking about love, love, love
Ain't nothing but love, love, love
Oh I'm in love, love, love
And honey, I'm talking about the real thing
And that kind of love don't come easy
Ain't much of it in the world around you
That kind of love don't come easy
Honey, I'm so glad, so glad, I'm so glad I found you
You know where it is with just one look
I don't need movies or a picture book
You know I'm talking about love, love, love
Ain't nothing but love, love, love
Oh I'm in love, love, love
And honey, I'm talking about the real thing
And that kind of love don't come easy
Ain't much of it in the world around you
That kind of love don't come easy
Honey, I'm so glad, so glad, I'm so glad I found you
And that kind of love don't come easy

Snatchin' It Back
(G. Jackson/C. Carter)
I try to get your love
But you keep on snatchin' it back
Tell me, tell me, tell me baby
How can I get your love
If you keep on snatchin' it back?
Oh, yeah
Have to expect not to get it
If you keep on doing like that
You want me, baby
And I want you
But you're afraid to come up to my room
I get your love in the palm of my hand
But you change on me baby
And snatch it back again
How can I get your love
If you keep on snatchin' it back?
I got to know, won't you tell me baby
I wonder how can I get your love
If you keep on snatchin' it back?
I do expect this, I'll never get it back
If you keep on doing like that
Some other lover
Before my time
Took your love
And left you behind
Now you afraid, baby
That I'll use you too
I won't do nothing darling
I won't, it's the truth
Tell me, tell me
How can I get your love
If you keep on snatchin' it back?
Some other lover
Before my time
Took your love
And left you behind
Now you afraid, baby
That I'll use you too
I won't do nothing darling
I won't, it's the truth
Now woman
How can I get your love?
Tell the truth baby
How can I get all of your love?
Come on darling
Tell me, how can I get your love?
How can I get your love?
How can I get your love
If you keep on snatchin' it back?

Little By Little
(M. London)
Whoa, whoa, whoa
Baby you're out all night till the break of day
You put me down baby
Everything I say
Little by little baby
I'm losing you, that I can see
Bit by bit your love's slipping away from me
Now what you're doing baby
You know it ain't right
I'm worried about you darling
I can't sleep at night
Little by little baby
I'm losing you and I concede
Bit by bit your love's slipping away from me
You turn your head away when I try to kiss you
I get so lonely baby I...
Little by little baby
I'm losing you and I concede
(Why you pretty little son of a...)
Bit by bit your love's slipping away from me
Tried to trail you last night baby in my car
Scared I might find what I was looking for
Little by little baby I'm losing you to
Bit by bit your love is slipping away from me
(Say, what's his name?)
Baby you're out all night till the break of day
You put me down baby
Everything I say
Little by little baby
I'm losing you, that I can see
Bit by bit your love is slipping away from me
Bit by bit your love is slipping away from me

It Ain't The Meat (It's The Motion)
(L. Mann/H. Glover)
It ain't the meat it's the motion
That makes your daddy wanna rock
It ain't the meat it's the motion
It's the movement it isn't the stock
Well, I got a girl that's so darn thin
there ain't much of her but bones and skin
one thing about her I can understand
she wraps all around me like a rubber band, baby
It ain't the meat it's the motion
That makes your daddy wanna rock
It ain't the meat it's the motion
It's the movement it isn't the stock
Well, I want a girl who's built real fat
Kenny don't like to see 'em like that
But I like to see 'em big and tall
The bigger the come the harder they fall
It ain't the meat it's the motion
That makes your daddy wanna rock
It ain't the meat it's the motion
It's the movement it isn't the stock
Well, I want someone who feels like they got to have love
Love to look at the stars above
My little baby, I want you to know
She'll bring me home all of her dough
It ain't the meat it's the motion
It ain't the meat, uhm uhm uhm
It ain't the meat, I say the action
That makes your daddy wanna rock
Bring it down one time
It ain't the meat it's the motion
It ain't the meat, I say the movement, girl
It ain't the meat, it's the action
That makes your daddy wanna rock

The Fever
(B. Springsteen)
When I get home from my job
I turn on my T.V.
But I can't keep my mind on the show
When I lay down at night
I can't get no sleep
So I turn on the radio
But, the only sound I hear
Is you whisperin' in my ear
The words that you used to say
Now my days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I got a fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Well, you left this little boy
I can remember comin' home
I see you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
As my love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I've got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing that a poor boy can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Yea, you left this little boy blue
I can remember comin' home
I see you standin' at the stove
With the dishes on the table
Dinner ready to go
Or maybe on out to a movie show
Something that you'd like to see
Oh, baby, you're my sun in the morning
And my moon at night
I think about you, baby
I feel alright
Days grow longer
Love grows stronger
And the fever gets worse and
I've got the fever for the girl
I got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
There ain't nothing, there ain't nothin' I can do
When he's got the fever for a girl
Got the fever
Oh, I got the fever
Left this little boy blue, well
Sure left this little boy blue
There ain't nothin' I can do
Oh, I've got the fever, baby
Baby please come home
I don't wanna be alone
I got the fever for you, girl

Havin' A Party
(S. Cooke)
We're havin' a party
Everybody's swinging
Dancing to the music
On the radio
So listen, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
We're having a party
Dancing to the music
Played by the DJ
On the radio
Cokes are in the ice box
Popcorn's on the table
Me and my baby
Are out there on the floor
We're havin' a party
Everybody's swinging
Dancing to the music
On the radio
So listen, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
Everybody's swinging
Oldies, doing the twist now
If you take requests
I've got a few for you
Don't forget the soul twist
Play that one called "I Know"
I got to hear what suites me
No other songs will do
We're havin' a party
Everybody's swinging
Dancing to the music
On the radio
So listen, Mr. DJ
Keep those records playing
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby
'Cause I'm having such a good time
Dancing with my baby

You Mean So Much To Me
(B. Springsteen)
When she comes to me, like a childhood song
Or an old time friend I haven't seen in so long
When she sings to me it's like a robin's song
She can sing so sweet
No, she won't do me no wrong
When he comes to me in the dark of night
I'm scared and lonely, he can make it alright
When he sings to me, soft and low
I cry, "Oh daddy, please don't let this little girl go"
You mean so much to me baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
You mean so much to me baby
Oh, I want you for my girl
Oh yes I do
'Cause sometimes she's like a baby playing with a toy
Sometimes she's so much woman
She makes me feel like a little boy
When he comes to me and he's all alone
I cry, "Hey baby, please don't do me no wrong"
You mean so much to me baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
You mean so much to me baby
Oh, I want you for my guy
Oh baby, I love you so, yes I do
Oh baby, don't ever let me go, oh no, no
When I wake up in the morning and you're by my side
I know we got a love that will never die
In the cool of the evening, when you give me that sign
Yea, you know I ain't leavin', oh we got a love so fine
You mean so much to me baby
You know you're drivin' me crazy
You mean so much to me baby
Oh I want you for my, mmm, baby
Oh I want you for my, ooh, baby
I want you for my my my my my girl
