I Don't Wanna Go Home Lyrics

I Don’t Want To Go Home
(S. Van Zandt)

Oh, I know that it’s getting late
But I don’t want to go home
I’m in no hurry baby time can wait
‘Cause I don’t want to go home

Listen to the man sing his song
I don’t want to go home
I don’t mind if it takes all night long
‘Cause I don’t want to go home

Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I don’t want to go home?

Lord, look at how all the people stare
Said I don’t want to go home
In their minds I know they’ve all been there
I don’t want to go home

I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I don’t want to go home
I know he’s talking ‘bout the way I feel
And I don’t want to go home

Listen, baby, I know we had to try
To reach up and touch the sky, baby
Whatever happened to you and I
That I don’t want to go home?

I want to hear people laughing and having a good time
I want to know why she told me she had to go
Why did she leave me lonely?

I know that it’s time to go
But I don’t want to go home
You can play play your blues, play ‘em soft and low
‘Cause I don’t want to go home

I know the words to this song are real
But, oh, I don’t want to go home
I know he’s talking ‘bout the way I feel
And I don’t want to go home

I don’t want to go, believe me, darling
I don’t want to go home
Don’t wanna be all alone
I don’t want to go home, baby

Ain’t nobody waitin’ at home
Baby, won’t you please come home
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, baby, baby
Baby, won’t you please come home?

Got to Get You off My Mind
(S. Burke/D. Burke/J. B. Moore)

It’s a 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

How Come You Treat Me So Bad?
(S. Van Zandt)

I wonder where is my woman tonight
She ain’t never around when I want her
Hey, Southside, have you seen my baby?
(No, man, I ain’t seen her)
Well, I’ve been hearin’ some talk
You sure you haven’t seen her?
(Uh, uh, well, here she comes now!)
Well, step out the way, I gotta do some talkin’

Listen here, baby, to what I say
I break my back by working hard all day
And just when I need a little sympathy, you ain’t home

You know now baby that I don’t ask much
Just a little respect and a lovin’ touch
If I support two people then why am I living alone?

Then I wonder
How come you treat me so bad?
You’re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me ‘cause I’ve got to know
I got to find out what’s going on

All the women stop and they give me the eye
But the woman I love don’t even wonder why
I ain’t good lookin’, but I don’t mind spending my money

Another man might dress better uptown
But he’s more than likely to be messing around
Now I ain’t laughing, but something sure seems funny
Don’t it?

How come you treat me so bad?
You’re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me ‘cause I’ve got to know

I ask for chicken and you give me beans
I ask for butter and you give me margarine
I ask you for the time and you tell me I am already too late

Someday girl you might change your mind
You realize what you left behind
I got news for you baby, I just might not wait, no more

How come you treat me so bad?
You’re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
I am tired of being lonely and I feel so sad
How come you treat me so bad?
You’re the most stubborn woman that I ever had
How come you treat me so bad?
Tell me ‘cause I’ve got to know

That woman makes me so tired
How long can this go on?
She’s just like her mother
(Yea, I know what you mean)
What you mean, you know what I mean?
(Well, don’t get excited, Lee)
I’m talkin’ about my baby, who you talkin’ about?
(Well, I was just, uh...)
Hey, where did you get that shirt?
(This is my shirt)
Did my baby give you my shirt?
(Wait a minute)
I paid $12 for that shirt
(This is my shirt, and you only paid 99 cents for it)
99 cents, huh? I believe you’ve been steppin’ out on me
(Oh, yea? Well I don’t mind steppin’ outside)
Alright we can step outside, but just watch the shirt
(You don’t have to worry about the shirt
‘Cause I’m gonna hit you so hard when you wake up
your clothes are gonna be outta style)

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’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

Broke Down Piece of Man
(S. Cropper/J. Shamwell)

Baby, baby, without your love

Take a look at me, darling, come on, baby
Tell me what you see now, baby
I’m only half the man now, honey
That I used to be, Lord have mercy
Since you been gone now, baby
My life ain’t nothin’ but an empty shell
Say you’ll come back, darling
You’ve got to come back and make this lonely man well

‘Cause I’m a broke down piece of man
I’m a broke down piece of man, baby
I’m just a broke down piece of man
Without your love

Heartache and misery, baby
Well, they’re walking right by my side now, baby
Sadness came and got a hold on me
You better get on over here before I cry
You’ve got to give our love now, baby
You got to give our love one more chance
Well that’s the only way darling
That this old heart of mine will last

‘Cause I’m a broke down piece of man
I’m just a broke down piece of man, baby
I’m a broke down piece of man
Without your love

Nobody else can cure the hurt I got
It’s your love I need and I need it a lot
Please give our love now, baby
Got to give our love one more chance
‘Cause that’s the only way, darling
Oh, that this old heart of mine can last

‘Cause I’m a broke down piece of man
I’m just a broke down piece of man, baby
I’m a broke down piece of man
Without your love

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

And that kind of love don’t come easy

Fanny Mae
(W. Glasco)

Said I want somebody to tell me what’s wrong with me
Said I want somebody to tell me what’s wrong with me
I feel so much trouble, I got such a misery
Yes I do

And I can hear your name a ringin’ all down the line
I can hear your name a ringin’ all down the line
I wanna know do you love me
or am I just wasting my time
I wonder

Fannie Mae, baby, won’t you please come home
Fannie Mae, baby, won’t you please come home
Let the seventh debt I cover
I don’t wanna be alone

I know, whooa...poor me
I know, whooa...poor me
Said my heart is through with trouble
It’s such an aching misery

Fannie Mae, baby, won’t you please come home
Fannie Mae, baby, won’t you please come home
Let the seventh debt I cover
I don’t wanna be alone

Fannie mae, baby, won’t you please come home
Fannie mae, baby, won’t you please come home
Let the seventh debt I cover
I don’t wanna be alone

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

I Choose To Sing The Blues
(J. Holiday/R. Charles)

I could’ve been a gambler
‘Cause I’m good with cards
I could’ve been a lover, darlin’
Breakin’ others’ hearts
But I feel so silly
Bettin’ on the dice
A lover seldom sees
The same girl twice

Baby, that’s why
Honey, that’s why I choose, yes I do
Hey, now, baby, I choose to sing the blues
I gotta get down and sing the blues

Well, I could’ve been a doctor
Workin’ on the sick
I could’ve been a lawyer
But that ain’t my schtick
Because I’d feel so bad
If a man did not get well
I’d plea something bad
That ended up in jail

And, baby, that’s why
You know, honey, that’s why I choose
Got to sing and play
Just about every day
You know what I’m tryin’ to say

There’s a lot of things
That a young man might present
You play you’re cards right, baby
You might be a president
But I never understood
What a politician might say
Guess I like to talk in my own peculiar way

And, baby that’s why
Darlin’ that’s why I choose
Hey, now, baby
I’ve got to say, everyday
Got to play, come on, baby
Got to sing the blues, baby
Don’t know nothin’ else
Got to sing the blues
Come on now, baby
Got to, got to, got to, got to
Got to sing the blues, baby
Got to sing
My baby take all my money
And give it to some other man
I cant take it no more
Come on, darlin’
Got to sing the blues
Got to make some money sometimes, 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
