Now listen here... Everytime I'm talkin bout tomorrow, I'm thinkin bout yesterday Everytime I go for a ride, you know I end up walkin away Everytime I feel like jukin, I lose my dance hall shoes Everytime I wanna make love, I end up making the blues (Chorus) I just can't get it right! No no no Get it right Oh yeah yeah! Love to do right, mama, love to do right, man Now won't you walk right up onto the Promise Land Now won't you get it right No no no Get it right Oh yeah yeah! Well the fish can't swim and the chick can't fly But we'll all be angels in the by and by Giggin at the razor's edge
At the brawl, yall, have a ball Oh come one, come all Now listen here... Everytime I wash my feet, I put on dirty socks Everytime I'm sleepin in, I end up watching the clock tick-tock Everytime I'm waking, they say I'm loafin' in bed Everytime I'm smokin', I end up chewin' instead (Chorus) Now won't you listen here... Everytime I see that women, I end up with a friend Everytime I'm on high times, you know I'm loafin' the street again Everytime I k** a tick, it turns it was a goon Everytime I'm right on the money I spend like I'm loose (Chorus)
