A lesser known version of an older song with other lyrics
I've Never Been To Me -- The Temptations Hey mister, hey mister I just want a dime 'Cause I need a cup of coffee and a moment of your time I can tell your raisin' hell the way I used to do But I wish someone had of talked to me Like I wanna talk to you Listen... I've been to Georgia and California And anywhere I could run Stole a woman in Tennessee (Stole a women, Tennessee) and we made love in the sun But I ran out of places and friendly faces (freeee) Because I had to be free I've been to paradise (I've been to paradise) but I've never been to me Thanks mister, thanks mister But please don't walk away (I have this neeeeed) 'Cause I have this need to tell you Why I'm all alone today I can see so much of me still living in your eyes (I can see, so much of me still living in your eyes) Won't you share a part of an old man's heart Just once before he dies I've been to China & Asia Minor On any ship that would sail Made some noise with some good old boys (Made some noise with some good old boys) And we wrecked a southern jail I've seen the best men crawl and some teardrops fall There ain't nothing I didn't see (Nothing I didn't see) I've been to paradise (I've been to paradise) But I've never been to me I've even, been to marriage Children cry for someone they couldn't find Never knowing that I was searching For things I left behind I thought my heart could wait but I learned too late Only love can make people free I've been to paradise (I've been to paradise) I've been to paradise But I've never been (never been) To me (Been to Georgia, California, anywhere I could run) Oh yeah, can't you see? (Stole a woman in Tennessee) Listen to me (Made love in the sun) I don't want you to make the same mistakes I've made (But I ran out of places, friendly faces) Oh no, I've been to paradise ('Cause I had to be free) I have even been there twice (I've been to paradise) Oooh weah, hey hey I know you want to, you wanna be free My son, please, please listen to me I I I I I I (I've been to paradise) I wanna help you, huh Oh no I've never been to me Don't walk away, oh no (I've been to paradise) I got more, I got more, I got more to say hey I've seen the best man crawl and some teardrops fall I've been all over the world (I've been to paradise) Oh, no no, oh yeah So I can let you see So you can have just a judgement of this time I believe I can get older (I've been to paradise) I can get across I can get through I can get next to the man Hey I got to, I got to talk to him I didn't have the chance myself I wish somebody would've I wish they could've just talk to me (I've been to paradise) Like I want to talk to you Hey hey, I know you've understood... ~Theo~ :winky::listening::bouquet: |

When I Get Low I Get High -- Speakeasy Three My fur got sold oh lord ain't it cold But I'm not gonna holler 'cause I still got a dollar And when I get low Oooo I get high My man walked out Now you know that ain't right but he better watch out If I meet him tonight I said when I get low Oooo I get high All the bad luck in this town has found me Nobody knows how trouble goes round and round me... I'm all alone With no-one to pet me But the old rocking chair Ain't never gonna get me ‘Cause when I get low Oooo I get high My man's full up, got his belly in a tangle 'cause I'm a slice of pie he just can't handle and when I get low Oooo I get high My pockets are empty and my chips are down but I ain't gonna holler, No, I ain't gonna frown ‘Cause when I get low Oooo I get high All the bad luck in this town has found me Nobody knows how trouble goes round and round me... Woah there was a ruckus last night I ended up in jail but I ain't got to worry - my girls got my bail ‘Cause when I get low Oooo I get high I'm all alone With no-one to pet me But the old rocking chair Ain't never gonna get me ‘Cause when I get low Oooo I get high... ~Theo~ :winky::listening::bouquet: |
Let's see ...
– I'm gonna start with Beyonce's Lemonade video (I'll have that running in the background at work while I drink from my Beyonce mug). I wish I had something yellow and lemony to wear today, but I don't. – Then I'll listen to Billie Holiday's Complete Decca Recordings. I've never listened to it from top to bottom. I will today. – Then I'll listen to some of my favorite comedians including Moms Mabley, Red Fox, Richard Pryor (Little Feets is on the play list!), Paul Mooney, Lenny Bruce, Sommore. – I'll probably end my music day with Biggie and Tupac. :bow: |

Yesterday I kept listening to a Ray LaMontagne song, but today I gravitated toward a collection of songs by Dallas Green.
Then I finally caved and quit listening to music at all and just turned on this music box, of sorts, that doesn't play music but just streams ocean surf. It's the best kind of 'white' noise that helps me to unwind and quit thinking.... :moonstars: |
