作曲：Allen Toussaint

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
