Lee Dorsey - Lover Was Born lyrics

When Mom and Papa first laid eyes On me right from the start They knew right away a lover was born I'd be breakin' lovers' hearts (Breakin' lovers' hearts) At a very early age, yeah, I began to show sign That a stone cold lover was born Lord, I'm gonna let it shine, yeah (I'm gonna let it shine, yeah) Girl, if I can't love you A reel can make gumbo A drunken man don't stumble A seein'-eye dog can learn to lead the blind A bee don't deal in honey The Beatles ain't got no money And watermelons grow on a grapevine One day my papa told me 'Son, sit down, I gotta talk to you Said, don't believe I can't understand I've been through the same thing too? Said, ?You think you're pretty hot stuff And you dig every girl you see But listen, son, settle for one It'll save a lotta misery in the long run? If that don't get it, sonny There ain't no corpse in the dawn There ain't no birds in a home And you can get black from a turnip If you squeeze and squeeze Tears don't go with the blues Chicken wear high-heeled shoes And Old McDonald's farm didn't have no trees I'm gonna take my papa's advice Though it's gonna be hard to do I'm gonna stop tryin' to prove a point I'm gonna give myself to you, girl If I fear you, baby Ain't no leaps in a frog There ain't no bumps on a log And you can get black from a turnip If you squeeze and squeeze A new cow don't give milk A egg don't got no yolk And I'd pull side of pole right out of tree, yeah Baby
