Testo You - Al Jarreau
Testo della canzone You (Al Jarreau), tratta dall'album Al Jarreau
You want to take me to a doctor
To talk to me about my mind
Try to give directions to some places
That I don't really want to find
Trouble with me is not related
To things that I might say or do
I'm really not that complicated
Your good doctor friend, he ought to talk to you
I notice that he can't remember
Things that he never should forget
Why does he spend his evenings smoking
Them funny-smelling cigarettes?
I have a friend that knows your best friend
He goes some places where she goes
He said he saw y'all at a party
Sniffing white powder up your nose
You got your nerve to call me narrow-minded
'Cause I'm not loose and indiscreet, uh-huh
People lying down always get planted
By people standing on their own two feet
Life is just a shadow, oh
That I just can't seem to find sometimes
Oh Lordy, sometimes
But I guess I'll make it
'Cause I found out that it's really in my mind
Really all in my mind
Shouldn't take it too seriously
'Cause it really ain't gonna last too long
Really ain't gonna last too long
You really only got two choices
You can lay down and be weak
Or you can stand up where you're at and still be strong
Stand up and still be strong
Hey, tomorrow, you've been too much on today
Yesterday, ah, all that gentleman is to you is gone
All he is is gone
All you find now looking back
Is the fact that both of us was wrong
Both of us was wrong
Hey, now you're talking right to me
But you really ain't saying a thing
You're pouring muddy water on me
Trying to convince me it's rain
Now you're talking to me crazy
But you're trying to make me feel it's sane
Oh Lordy, feel it's sane
You're like a Sunday family
Digging animals in the zoo, Lordy
But while you're looking at monkeys
Monkey looking there at you
Two people getting done
Trying to think of who's doing who
If you're throwing dirty people
You got to get some dirt on you
I got to take a ton of lies
Just to get an answer true from you
You're like a man loving Jesus
Says he can't stand the Jew
Hey, ah, get down and play the dozens
Talk about your folks from your mama to your cousin
Hey, down there now, you know what I'm talking 'bout
Get on down and play the dozens
Talk about your folks from your mama to your cousin
Get down there, let's do it one more time
