A Lover Was Born - Lee Dorsey
When Mom and Papa first laid eyes
On me right from the start
They knew right away a lover was born
I'd be breakin' lovers' hearts
Breakin' lovers' hearts)
At a very early age yeah I began to show sign
That a stone cold lover was born
Lord I'm gonna let it shine yeah
I'm gonna let it shine yeah)
Girl if I can't love you
A reel can make gumbo
A drunken man don't stumble
A seein'-eye dog can learn to lead the blind
A bee don't deal in honey
The Beatles ain't got no money
And watermelons grow on a grapevine
One day my papa told me
Son sit down I gotta talk to you
Said don't believe I can understand
I've been through the same thing two times
Said you think you're pretty hot stuff
And you dig every girl you see
But listen son settle for one
It'll save a lotta misery in the long runs
That don't get it sonny
There ain't no corpse in the dawn
There ain't no birds in a home
And you can get black from a turnip
Squeeze and squeeze
Tears don't go with the blues
Chicken wear high-heeled shoes
And Old McDonald's farm didn't have no trees
I'm gonna take my papa's advice
Though it's gonna be hard to do
I'm gonna stop tryin' to prove a point
I'm gonna give myself to you girl
If I fear you baby
Ain't no leaps in a frog
There ain't no bumps on a log
And you can get black from a turnip
Squeeze and squeeze
A new cow don't give milk
A egg don't got no yolk
And I'd pull side of pole right out of tree yeah
Baby
