Edwin Mccain Lyrics

Nobody's Fault But Mine (2008)

Can I Get A Witness lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Listen everybody, especially you girls

Is it right to be left alone

While the one you love is never home?

Well, I love too hard

All my friends sometimes say

I believe, I believe

That a woman should be loved that way

But it hurts me so inside

To see her treat me so unkind

Somebody, somewhere tell her it's unfair

Let me hear you, baby

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

(Can I get a witness?)

Is it right to be treated so bad

When you've given everything you had?

Even tossing in my sleep

'Cause I haven't seen my baby all week

Now, you chicks, you do agree

That this ain't the way love's supposed to be

Let me hear you say

(Yeah, yeah)

Say, yeah, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Up early in the morning

With her on my mind

Just to find out

All night, baby, I've been crying

But I believe, I believe

That a woman is a man's best friend

I'm gonna stick by her until the very end

But she causes so much misery

I forgot how it?s supposed to be

Somebody, somewhere, tell her it's unfair

(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

You know what I'm talking about

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?

Witness, witness

(Can I get a witness?)

Everybody knows, especially you girls

Love can be so sad

But I have a love that's twice as bad

Now, you chicks, you do agree

That this ain't the way love's supposed to be

Let me hear you say

(Yeah, yeah)

Say, yeah, yeah

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Now, you chicks, you do agree

That this ain't the way love's supposed to be

Let me hear you say

(Yeah, yeah)

Say, yeah, yeah, listen

(Yeah, yeah)

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?

Witness, witness

(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

(Can I get a witness?)

Can I get a witness?

Witness, witness

(Can I get a witness?)

The Happy Song lyrics - Edwin Mccain

When I sing this song y'all

I'm singing it for my baby

She's the only one that can bring me joy

That's why I sing these happy songs

They go

Dum dum baby de dum dum, sing it again

Dum dum baby de dum dum, happy, happy song

Dum dum baby de dum dum, come on now

Happy song, happy, happy song

On a cold, rainy and windy night

She'd shut off the door, she cut off the light

She hold me close and squeeze me tight

She says, Big E everything's all right

They go

Dum dum baby de dum dum, sing it again

Dum dum baby de dum dum, all those happy song

Dum dum baby de dum dum, come on now

Happy song, happy, happy song

I'm bringing my breakfast to the table

When I go to work she knows I'm able

Do my job and come back in

You wanna see my baby's face

She just grins, grins, grins, she goes

Dum dum baby de dum dum, sing it again

Dum dum baby de dum dum, all those happy song

Dum dum baby de dum dum, oh

Dum dum baby de dum dum, yeah, happy song

Dum dum baby de dum dum, yeah, all those happy song

Dum dum baby de dum dum, just give me those happy song

Dum dum baby de dum dum

Grits Ain't Groceries lyrics - Edwin Mccain

(originally by Titus Turner)

If I don't love you baby

Grits ain't grocery,

Eggs ain't poultry,

And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world, I'd rather be a fly

I'd light on my baby and stay with my woman till I die

With a toothpick in my hand I'd dig a ten foot ditch

And run all through the jungle fighting lions with a switch

Because you know I love you baby

Oh you know I love you baby yeah

Now if I don't love you baby I tell you

Grits ain't grocery,

Eggs ain't poultry,

And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world I've got blisters on my feet

I'm trying to find my baby and bring her home with me

You better run into me baby and be convinced

If you don't run it to me right now woman

You ain't got no sense

Because you know I love you baby

Oh you know I love you baby yeah

Well if I don't love you baby I tell you

Grits ain't grocery,

Eggs ain't poultry,

And Mona Lisa was a man

All around the world I never will forget

I lost all my money, my woman, and my pet

But I've got to have you baby and I will settle for nothing less

Give up all my good time baby and stay for happiness

Because you know I love you baby yeah

Oh you know I love you baby yeah

Well if I don't love you baby I tell you

Grits ain't grocery,

Eggs ain't poultry,

And Mona Lisa was a man

Some Kind Of Wonderful lyrics - Edwin Mccain

(originally by Soul Brothers Six)

I don't need a whole lots of money,

I don't need a big fine car.

I got everything that a man could want,

I got more than I could ask for.

I don't have to run around,

I don't have to stay out all night.

'Cause I got a sweet lovin' woman,

And she knows just how to treat me right.

Oh my baby, she's alright,

Oh my baby, she's clean out-of-sight.

Don't you know that she's some kind of wonderful.

She's some kind of wonderful ... yes she is

Some kind of wonderful, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh ...

I hold her in my arms,

She sets my soul on fire.

Oooh, when my baby kisses me,

My heart becomes filled with desire.

She wraps her lovin' arms around me,

She drives me out of my mind.

Yeah, when my baby kisses me,

Chills run up and down my spine.

Oh my baby, she's alright,

My baby, she's clean out-of-sight.

Don't you know that she is some kind of wonderful.

Some kind of wonderful ... yes she is,

Some kind of wonderful, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeahhh ...

Is there anybody, got a sweet little woman like mine?

Is there anybody, got a sweet little woman like mine?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Can I get a witness?

Some kind of wonderful.

Talkin' 'bout my baby.

She's some kind of wonderful.

Talkin' 'bout my baby.

[repeat to fade]

Ain't Nobody (Gonna Turn Me Around) lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Ain't nobody gonna turn me around no more

Ain't nobody gonna turn me around

Well I've learned my lesson and now I see

Love just ain't the thing for me

Ain't nobody gonna turn me around

Ain't nobody gonna talk sweet talk to me

Ain't nobody gonna tell me how sweet your love can be

I'm gonna take my love and put in on the shelf

Ain't gonna give it to nobody else

Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me

Love you've been so doggone mean

You shattered every one of my dreams

You know I can't love nobody else

Yet you left me here all by myself

You turned me around

You turned me around

I learned my lesson and now I see

Love ain't the thing for me

Ain't nobody who's gonna turn me around

Ninety-Nine And A Half (Won't Do) lyrics - Edwin Mccain

(originally by Creedence Clearwater Revival)

I got to have all your love, night and day.

Not just a little part, but all of your heart, baby.

[CHORUS:]

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do.

Oh, no, no, just won't get it, baby.

Don't be led in the wrong direction.

To start this thing off right, a man need a little love and affection,

Yes he do, now.

[CHORUS x2]

We got to bring it all down, start gettin' it right.

We got to stop this messin' around, and keep the thing up tight,

Yes we do, now.

[CHORUS x2]

Got to have a hundred,

Got to have a hundred.

Ninety-nine and a half just won't do.

Nobody's Fault But Mine lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I couldn't love you your way

Yeah, but you came to see me day by day

But now I miss you all the time

Ain't no heart can be as sad as mine

Ain't nobody's fault but mine

Let me talk to ya

What will I do tomorrow?

Burden down and suffer with my sorrow

But cryin' ain't gonna help me knock

I made a bad mistake

Ain't nobody's fault but mine

God, one day gonna pay for my mistakes

By and by, by and by

It's gonna carry me straight to my grave

By and by, by and by

Let me tell you somethin'

Instead of you tryin' to spend my money

Yet your favorite word was to call me honey

I was just a doggone fool

Tryin' to be so doggone cool

Ain't nobody's fault but mine

Yeah, I got to pay for my mistakes

By and by, by and by

It's gonna carry me straight to my grave

By and by, by and by, oh

Made a big mistake, yeah

And I did somethin' wrong to you

Nobody's fault but mine

Ain't nobody's fault but mine

Somebody help me now

I need a little bit of help right now

Ain't nobody's fault but mine

I Can't Get Next To You lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I, oh I, I can turn a gray sky blue

Oh I, you see, I can make it rain when I want it to

I can build a castle with a single grain of sand

Oh I, you see, I can make a ship sail on dry land

Ain't happy with the powers I possess

You're the key to my happiness

And I can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

I can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

I, oh I, I can fly like a bird in the sky

Oh I, I can buy anything that money can buy

I can turn a river into a raging flood

Oh I live forever if I so decide

Ain't happy with the powers I possess

You're the key to my happiness

And I can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

I can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

I, I can turn back the hands of time

You better believe I can

Oh I, I can make the seasons change

Just by waving my hand

I, I can change anything I want

From old to new

Oh I, all the things I want to do the most

I'm unable to do

Unimportant, all these powers I possess

You're the key to my happiness

And I can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

Can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

Can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

Can't get next to you, baby

Can't get next to you

If there's something you need, woman

That you never had

Don't you sit there crying

Try to understand

And raise your hand

Oh, raise your hand

I'm standing about, baby

Wanna give you my love

Please let me try, darling

I'm gonna be good

Who's Making Love lyrics - Edwin Mccain

All you fellows, gather 'round me

Let me give you some good advice

What I'm gonna, gonna ask you now

You better think about it twice

While you're out cheating on your woman

There's something that you never even thought of

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

I've seen so, so many fellows

Fall in to that same old bag

Thinking that a woman is made to

Be beat on and treated so bad

Oh, fellows, let me ask you

I'm sure there's something that you never dreamed of

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

I know there are some women

Give the other excuse

I'm not trying to run your life, boy it's up to you

And you, you, you, you, yeah

The reason why I ask this question

I used to be the same old way

When I decided to straighten up, now

I found it was a bit too late

Oh, that's when it all happened

Something that I never ever dreamed of

Somebody is making love to my old lady

While I was out making love

Somebody was-a loving my old lady

While I was out making love

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love?

Who's making love to your old lady

While you were out making love, love, love?

(I Know) I'm Losing You lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Your love is fading, I can feel your love fading

Woman it's fading away from me

'Cause your personal touch has grown cold

As if someone else controls your very soul

I fooled myself as long as I can

Can feel the presence of another man

It's there when you speak my name, it's just not the same

Oh, honey I'm losing you

I can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere

Oh, I'm losing you

I can feel it in my bones, any day you'll be up and gone

Oh, I'm losing you

It's all over your face, someone's takin' my place

Could it be that I'm losing you?

When I look into your eyes a reflection of a face I see

Oh Lord I'm losing you

I'm hurt, downhearted and worried, girl

'Cause that face doesn't belong to me

Your love is fadin', can feel it fadin'

Oh, away from me

Can feel it in the air, it's there everywhere

Ooo, I'm losing you

I don't wanna lose you

But I know I'm gonna groove you

Oh Lord I'm losing you

Get out, woo

Ooo yeah, get down there

Get down there

I don't wanna lose you

But I know I gotta groove you

Oh Lord I'm losing you

And I'm losin' you

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Oh yeah

Your love is fadin', I can feel it fadin'

Oh Lord I'm losing you

Good Times lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

Come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

The evening sun is sinking low

Clock on the wall says it's time to go

I got my plans, don't know about you

I tell you exactly what I'm gonna do

Come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

So come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

It might be twelve o'clock, it might be three

Time don't mean that much to me

Ain't felt this way since I don't know when

I might not feel this way again, oh

Come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

So come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

All night, all night

All night, all night

It's gonna take all night, all night

Come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

So come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

Come on, let the good times roll

We're gonna stay here till we soothe our soul

If it take all night long

Come on, let the good times roll

I've Got Dreams To Remember lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I've got dreams to remember

I've got dreams, dreams to remember

Honey, I saw you there last night

Another man?s arms holding you tight

And nobody knows what I feel inside

I just walked away and cried

I've got dreams to remember

I've got dreams, I've got dreams to remember

I know you said that he was just a friend

But I saw you kiss him again and again

These eyes of mine, they don't fool me

Why?d he hold you so tenderly?

I've got dreams to remember

I?ve got dreams, dreams to remember

I still want you to stay

I still love you anyway

I don't want you to ever leave

Girl, you just satisfy me

I've got dreams

Tell you got a dream

I know you said that he was just a friend

But I saw you kiss him again and again

These eyes of mine, they don't fool me

Why?d you hold him so tenderly?

I've got dreams to remember

I've got dreams, dreams to remember

I've got dreams to remember

I've got dreams, dreams to remember

I've got dreams, dreams to remember

I've got dreams, dreams to remember

I've got dreams

Lost In America (2006)

Gramercy Park Hotel lyrics - Edwin Mccain

Ol' Babe Ruth, he was a drunkard just like me

He lived it high, and he lived it low

Staggered down the New York streets

They throw him out the pub, when he raised a little too much hell

And then he lay his big fat head down at the

Gramercy park hotel

The Gramercy park hotel

All these hit men, look like organ grinders to me

Rock stars on golden chains, little monkeys dancin' round their feet

Well give me a little hat, little vest, and a little monkey bell

And send my bananas baby to the

Gramercy park hotel

The Gramercy Park Hotel

And all the publicists sing

La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da

La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da

La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da

And its so far gone

And its so far gone

Maybe this is just a beggars life, and maybe its all dream

Maybe its just about kindness I should forget all my silly schemes

Maybe I'm just a fool, but my fool shoes fit so well

Snuggled up in my big fool blanket at the

Gramercy Park Hotel

The Gramercy Park Hotel

The Gramercy Park Hotel

The Gramercy Park Hotel

And all the publicists sing

La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da

La di da di da da, La di da di da da, La di da di da da

The Kiss lyrics - Edwin Mccain

On the six O clock flight

It takes all my might

To find the reasons why

I'm buckling in

To leave you again

From the corner of my eye

I see a perfect lipstick kiss

That can't be what it is

On the outside of the plane

Smack right on the pane

Through rain clouds, ups and downs

Even in this thin frozen air

The kiss is still there

Kiss is still there

Was it an angel

Or a maintenance girl

Showing off for the crew

Its finding the way

Because here in 5A

It feels like I'm with you

Through rain clouds, ups and downs

Even in this thin frozen air

The kiss is still there

Kiss is still there [repeat]

The lover in waiting

Leaves the light on

I hope you feel it

When I am gone

Through rain clouds, ups and downs

Even in this thin frozen air

The kiss is still there

Kiss is still there

The kiss is still there

Kiss is still there

Welcome To Struggleville lyrics - Edwin Mccain

All is quiet on the Western front,

There appears to be a lull.

John and Jane Doe are sleeping well tonight

With the little thoughts inside their skulls.

Salome she's undressed to the nines

Although a few pounds fatter.

She's got Pavlov's bells on her ankles and wrists,

She coming at you with her platter.

I stole down to the waterfront

To escape the desert heat.

What on earth you gotta do around here

To try and get yourself a drink

Heard John the Baptist preaching

"Make way for the King,

But if you wanna recognize him,

You gotta tell me all your sins"

They are building a new gallows

For when You show up on the street.

Polishing the electric chair,

They're gonna give You a front row seat.

Heard a sneer outside the garden;

Salutation so well-heeled:

"Welcome all you suckers to Struggleville"

I've been trying to negotiate peace

With my own existence.

She's gotta stockpile full of weaponry;

She breaking every cease-fire agreement.

Whole thing is full of decay

Just as sure as I'm made of dust,

And into rust I know the beast is falling.

They are building a new gallows

For when You show up on the street.

Polishing the electric chair,

They're gonna give You a front row seat.

Heard a sneer outside the garden;

Salutation so well-heeled:

"Final Stop! No points beyond Struggleville"

Truly Believe lyrics - Edwin Mccain

I didn't reach out,

Cause I didn't need saving.

I wasn't drowning,

I was just waving.

I apologize,

For the misunderstanding.

But I wasn't falling,

I was just landing.

I'm not over,

Just getting started.

I'm not gonna be some,

Dearly departed.

I wouldn't shatter,

To the touch.

Baby you worry,

A little too much.

[Chorus]

If you let me be,

Who I'm becoming,

Stop seeing me,

As everything I've been.

You could be free,

From the wondering.

Let me give you something to,

Truly believe in.

If I'm guilty,

It's not murder,

But is killing time,

So unkind?

And we take this struggle,

Further and further.

Only to find,

Oh no finish lines.

[Chorus]

If you let me be,

Who I am becoming.

Stop seeing me,

As everything I've been.

You could be free,

From the wondering.

Let me give you something to,

Truly believe in.

We can chose to fight the war,

Or find the little things.

There's music in the notes,

It's in the space between.

[Chorus]

If you let me be,

Who I'm becoming.

Stop seeing me,

As everything I've been.

You could be free,

From the wondering.

Let me give you something to,

Truly believe in forgiveness.

I truly believe,

We can begin again.

I truly believe,

I can fix this.

Let me give you something
