A Lover Was Born

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
