Bobby Womack - The Preacher/More Than I Can Stand (Medley) - Live lyrics

Gimme my groove Lemme hear everybody in the house tonight If ya still feel like you want to have a good time All ya gotta say is yeah -- (Crowd sings) Yeah (Bobby) Yeah (Crowd) Yeah Yeah (Bobby)Lemme hear ya just say it a little bit louder Lemme hear ya say yeah (Crowd) Yeah (Bobby sings) Hmmmmm I don't know why -- I, I feel like I wanna preach tonight I wonder would yall mind -- If I preach to you for about 5 minutes But I got to know that I got some warriors in the house tonight All ya gotta say is yeah -- (Crowd sings) yeah (Bobby sings) Owwwww!!! About five years ago -- I fell in love But you know I never believed -- I never believed in working a real hard job But one day my old lady walked up and told me -- and said Bobby She said your lovin' is good -- But my money is gettin' sort of thin Lemme hear ya say yeah She said, "I don't mean to hurt your feelings, boy," "But you better get ooonnnn out -- and find yourself a job!" My nose was sort of opened wide at that time So early that next morning I went ooonnnn out -- lookin' -- Tryin to find a job -- And I'm mighty glad to today to tell you that I found it I put in 24 hours a day -- And then a little bit overtime And here's the sad part of the story You know something about that, don't you? Listen to me, now What brought me home -- It brought me home sort of early one night, huh I got a funny -- I got a funny -- feeeling That somethimg wasn't going on in my house that wasn't right Until I recognized my old lady's voice -- And she kept tellin' she said -- Oooh, baby! And I was steady listenin' she said -- Oooh, baby! And he sort of stuttering too -- He kept sayin, like, Uh, what, honey? She kept tellin' him -- look, keep on doin' doin' doin' What youre doin' boy! (Bobby) And lemme hear ya yeah -- Make me know you're still with me -- (Crowd sings) Yeah Lemme hear ya yeah -- (Crowd sings) Yeah So I started to call my baby I said, "Baby!" I said "I'm glad to walk away if ya do me one thing... Would ya do me one thing...?" Girl don't pull the rug from under my feet -- OOOHHH Don't leave, don't leave me so, I'm talking in my sleep This could be the start of a nightmare Waking up and not finding you there It would be more that I could stand Oh, baby Oh, baby Girl, don't leave me so I'm pacing the floor (don't you do it baby) Cause that's, that's what I'll do if you close the door Leavin' me would ruin all of my plans It would be like tying the both of my hands And that's more than I could ever stand Cause that's more than I could stand Why you wanna leave me? Why you wanna go? I promise not To never, never hurt you no more Oh, please don't leave me Please don't go By causin' my heart to ache Causin' it to break I beleive we've still got, a lot of love to give, baby So turn around, baby (turn around) While there's a lot of life we can live Maybe I've been too hung up on myself But don't change me by putting my heart on a shelf Cause that's more than I could everstand Oh tell me, Oh tell me Why you wanna leave me? -- Why you wanna go? Why you wanna leave me? -- Why you wanna go? Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby
