Stop your pretending |
|
Listen to what I've got to say |
|
Now your head's went away |
|
Only here for a day and that grave I just made |
|
Is for me when I get paid, I get paid, yeah |
|
Won't you wait a while, move to the blue |
|
Sometimes people don't want to say |
|
Old time dancers don't die that way |
|
See that grave I've just made |
|
It's for me when I get paid |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Do you love and surrender? |
|
Sometimes I don't feel I can remember |
|
I think it's fair to mention, yeah |
|
About the days when I get paid |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
I want a little loving, I told you all to listen |
|
But you never liked what you heard |
|
I take what I am given , this may sound absurd |
|
I share a double vision that started the transition |
|
Hey where's Jimmy Jazz |
|
Steady on the scale |
|
I told you to listen |
|
Yes, I told you all to listen |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
Somebody like you |
|
Somebody's gotta hold back the river |
|
You know that somebody |
|
You know that somebody |
|
But it ain't you |
