Garage 1964 – 1969

Wait little girl
I've got a few things to say
You feel overnight that you've fallen in love to stay
But girl, he's so much older than you
And how can he give you a love that's true

Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see
He's nothin' but a freewheeling, girl-stealing dirty old man

I seen him around driving his XKE
Looking cool and flashing personality
But underneath it he's oh so wild
And remember girl that you're just a child

Can't you see
Can't you see
Can't you see

I'm not here to ask or beg or plead, girl
'Cause it's your life and you know what you need girl

Well dirty old man, I've got a word for the wise
Why don't you pick on somebody your own size
Dirty old man why can't you face the truth
Your money can't buy you back your youth

Well, here come my baby
Right down the line
She's lookin' mighty good
She's lookin' mighty fine
I say that I lover her
I tell her I do
And she turns around - she goes out with you

[Pre-Chorus]
I need you, baby, but you can't tame me
I need you, baby, but you can't tame me
I need you, baby, but you can't tame me

[Chorus]
Well, it's alright
(Alright, alright, alright)
Well, it's alright
(Alright, alright, alright)
Well, it's alright
(Alright, alright, alright)
Oh, yeah!

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
Well, here she comes, baby
Right on down the line
All she's getting to do is
Telling you lies
I say I want her, I want her to be mine
But all the time you've gotta keep me goin' on and cryin'

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Hey Joe, I said where you goin' with that gun in your hand?
Alright.
I'm goin down to shoot my old lady

You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.
I'm goin' down to shoot my old lady
You know I caught her messin' 'round with another man.

And that ain't too cool.
(Ah-backing vocal on each line)
Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot your woman down
You shot her down now.

Uh, hey Joe, I heard you shot you old lady down
You shot her down to the ground. Yeah!
Yes, I did, I shot her

You know I caught her messin' 'round
Messin' 'round town.
Uh, yes I did, I shot her
You know I caught my old lady messin' 'round town.

And I gave her the gun and I shot her!
Alright
(Ah! Hey Joe)
Shoot her one more time again, baby!

(Oo)
Yeah.
(Hey Joe!)
Ah, dig it!

(Hey, Joe)

Hey, hey Joe, what'd I say
(Hey... Joe)

(where you gonna go?

Knock knock
Who's there?
It's me
And I just want to be near
You cast me out
Like a dog in the rain
But you know what's going
To this whirling, swirling brain
Knock knock

You got up
And walked out on me
And now I'm lonely and abandoned
'cause I'm a ship tossed at sea
You hurt me
Darling you made me cry
But if you don't come back
I know I'll die
Knock knock
Whirling
Swirling in a world of grief and sin
And I know I can't live
Unless you let me in

Knock knock
Who's there?
Who's there?
Who's outside...

As we've sailed it to the sun
With our hearts and souls as one
Feelin' free as the sea

And when it's over
Gazin' into your gentle light
Pullin' you closer
Knowin' what experience said alright
Both of us powdered
Now that is nothin' left to hide

As we reach to touch the sky
On the love we play so high
Feelin' free as the sea

Oh, as we sailed it to the sun
With our hearts and souls as one
Feelin' free as the sea

I can't seem to make you mine
Kiss and run all the time
Flyin' around like a bee
Hurtin' everything you see
I tried everything I know
To make you wanna love me so
The only thing you do
Is try to put the hurt on me
Can't you see what you're doin' to me
You fill my heart with misery
With every breath and step I take
I'm more in love with you
I can't go on like this
A little bit of love, not one kiss
I gotta have your love everyday
A love that's real that'll stay
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back, baby, to me
End my misery
I give you love night and day
Don't ever ever go away
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
Come back baby, 'cause I'm all alone
Come back darlin', 'cause I need your love
Come back, 'cause I wanna love ya
Girl, I wanna love ya tonight
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine
I can't seem to make you mine

My daddy walked down in darkness
And my mama walked by his side
They never knew what contentment was
'Til the day after they had died

Now don’t tell me your trouble
'Cause I know misery of my own
Yeah, my daddy, he walked down in darkness
My poor mama, she went along
(Oh, ['tar?], yeah)

[Guitar solo]

Ooooooohhh!
My mama, my mama she wasn’t good lookin'
Ow, she hustled all around
It took all, it took all my daddy's good lovin', Lord
Just to keep my poor mama down

Now my daddy, my daddy he walked down in darkness
And my mama went along
They never, ow!, they never knew what contentment was
'Til thе day after they had died
