Testo Slip Away - Roy Head & The Traits
Testo della canzone Slip Away (Roy Head & The Traits), tratta dall'album Slip Away
What would I give for just a few moments?
What would I give just to have you near?
Tell me you will try to slip away somehow
Oh, I need you, baby, I'd like to see you right now
Can you slip away, slip away, slip away? Yeah
I need you so
Love, love, how sweet it is
When you're stealing, darling, let me tell you right now
How sweet it is
Now, I know it's wrong, the things I ask you to do
Please believe me, darling, I don't want to hurt you
But can you slip away without him knowing you're gone?
And maybe we can meet somewhere
Somewhere where we both are not known
Can you slip away, slip away, slip away? Yeah
I need you so
I'd like to see you right now
I won't do you no harm
And every time I sing this song
I can remember back
It brings to, it brings to my mind this story
You know, there's a lot of us that are sitting out here this evening
And we think we're clean as we want to be
But just like the other night, I was sitting in the club
And this young man walked in with his fine young thing
The waiter took him to a table right up front
Clean as he wanted to be
They sat down at the table
And every time he looked at her
She's looking at him and she's smiling
Now, he knows that she loves him
And he's clean as he wants to be
And every time the waitress comes to the table and says
"Would you like another round?"
She's looking at him and she's smiling
He's pulling out another dollar bill
Heh, now he thinks, "Good God, I'm clean"
But what he don't know is every time he turns his head
She's looking across the dance floor at another stud
And he's looking twice as good as you
And he hadn't spent a dime
And this other dude sitting across
The floor has been there all evening
He spent one dollar for a drink
And he's nursing
Heh, you know what I'm talking about
So this evening when you walk out with your young thing
She's hanging all over you, jump in your white El Dorado Cadillac
White on black, AM/FM radio, stereo tape deck
Clean as you want to be
Well, she scoots in right beside you
Getting all up against you
And you're thinking, "I won't have to
Bathe for three weeks, I'm so clean"
But what you don't know as soon as you
Take her home and you kiss her goodnight
You're walking back to your car, you jump in it
You turn the corner
Soon as your headlights are out of sight
Up comes another set of headlights
It's a 1951 Volkswagen
Dent on dent
AM radio hanging out of the dash
Takes you five minutes to get out of the wires
She comes right back outside and she says
"Honey, I'm sorry I was sick earlier this evening
But I'm feeling good now"
And you know she's mellow
She's been out all evening at somebody else's expense
Now, this little dude in the 1951 Volkswagen
Is the one that's gonna reap what you've been sowing all evening
Alright
Oh, I need you, baby
I'd like to see you right now
Can you meet me somewhere?
I'd like to see you right now, darling
I won't do you no harm
I'd like for you to meet me somewhere
Somewhere where we both are not known
I'd like to see you right now, baby
