Well, a 6/8 soul ballad was inevitable this round, but this one got a little more aggressive along the way. Another stellar one-and-done take from Lionel Sanders on the drums ...
lyrics
someone told me that she said
Something someone said he said
Someone’s running around
I could build a wall between
you and me and that whole scene
Feels like I’m ‘bout to drown
But if you wanna hit the
Bottom of the well
‘fore this whole thing runs dry
Truth gonna wake you
Like I ring the warning bell
You gotta look me in the eye
Oh, the last thing I wanted
So hunted and haunted
can’t believe all those things that you heard
Oh, that song that they’re singing
Those lies they’ve been bringing
Swear I’ll make good on my word
Good on my word
Maybe I’ve been mixing up
The signals I’ve been sending up
Seems like I get confused sometimes
But don’t make no mistake
When it comes to make or break
won’t be paying for another man’s crimes
But if you wanna hit the
Bottom of the well
‘fore this whole thing runs dry
Truth gonna wake you
Like I ring the warning bell
You gotta look me in the eye
Oh, the last thing I wanted
So hunted and haunted
can’t believe all those things that you heard
Oh, that song that they’re singing
Those lies they’ve been bringing
Swear I’ll make good on my word
Good on my word
