| All day long
I've been thinking about you, baby With loving you on my mind I couldn't hardly wait To get home to you, baby So I could do a little overtime Baby, baby, you've been so good to me I want to understand If I want a do right woman Then I've got to be a do right man So I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Before my flame gets too low Yes, I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Trying to keep Jody from my door Oh I know I've been neglecting you Lately, baby Just trying to make ends meet But tonight I'm gonna be On my love job, baby Me working on you, you working on me Wine, music, and a little candlelight Just to help me unwind 'Cause I know I got so much love to give, baby And tonight I'm gonna take my time I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Before my flame gets too low Said I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Just trying to keep Jody from my door I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Before my flame gets too low Yes, I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Just gotta keep Jody from my door I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Before my flame gets too low Think I'm gonna lay another log On the fire, baby Just trying to keep Jody from my door . . |

| by Will Jennings / Joe Sample
recording of 1978 from Midnight Believer (MCA MCAD-27011) |
| You know by now that I've been passed
Through an awful lot of hands And all I have is what is left From ten thousand one night stands Sometimes I feel like I was there When the blues began With this crying guitar holding me Like a woman holds a man Let me make you cry a little longer Let me make you high a little longer Oh, I want to try a little longer Make some woman sigh a little longer At night sometimes I can still feel Every place I've ever been I feel it in my music And it all comes back again You know I've played for city lights And for stars above And every note I ever play I always play for love Let me make you cry a little longer Let me make you high a little longer Oh, I want to try a little longer Make some woman sigh a little longer |

You only live for once and when you're dead you're done So let the good times roll, let the good times roll And live a long long I don't care if you are young or old no no, get together and let the good times roll Don't stand there moaning, talking trash If you wanna have some fun, you'd better go out and spend some cash And let the good time roll Let the good time roll I don't care if you young or old, get together and let the good times roll Don't stand there moaning, talking trash If you wanna have some fun, you'd better go out and spend some cash And let the good time roll Let the good time roll I don't care if you young or old, get together and let the good times roll Hey mister landlord, lock up all the doors When the police comes around, tell them Johnny's coming down Let the good times roll Let the good times roll And Lord I don't care if you young or old, That's good enough to let the good times roll Hey everybody! Tell everybody ! That B.B. and Bobby's in town I got a dollar and a quarter And I'm just raring to clown Don't let nobody play me cheap I got fifty cents to know that I'm gonna keep Let the good times roll I don't care if you young or old Let's get together and let the good times roll |

| Baby, out all night
Until the break of day Snap me up in everything I say Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me What you're doing, baby You know it ain't right I wonder what you're doing That takes all night Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me Get so disgusted When I try to kiss you I just don't feel Like I used to do Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me Tried to trail you last night Baby, in my car But I'm scared I might see What I'm looking for Little by little Only you know that I can see Bit by bit Your love is slipping away from me |

Seems like everything has gone wrong, baby 'cause I'm without you I guess this is that awful feeling, baby that feeling they call the blues All by myself baby, yes I began to weep Yes, and when I dry my eyes, baby, you know I still can't sleep Yes, I guess this is the feeling, baby the feeling they call the blues Yes as I sit here in my dark room, woman, with the tears running down my face Yes as I sit here in my dark room, woman, with the tears running down my face Yes I can feel and I can see you, woman, I can see you all over the place Yes, then I start walkin', woman, start walkin' all over the floor Yes, my heart is telling me, woman, tellin' me you won't be here no more Oh, I guess this is the feeling, baby the feeling, the feeling they call the blues |
