Well I tried to run my game
She said, man, that's the same old
thing I've heard before
And I'm too tired to go for your show
Again and again
And she started to explain,
she'd say, man, I ain't sayin'
What you played, I just can't make it
But I just can't take it anymore
Play somethin' sweet,
play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can
psych my teeth in like
Jell -O
There's something I
can't understand
Play me some backyard blues,
babe
Well, I started to sweat
She said, don't get upset
You just might break a string
That won't do a thing
For you, sure
So I say to myself, I say to self, do you see what is sailing through my soul,
and I gotta have some more, don't you know
Play somethin' sweet,
play somethin' mellow
Play somethin' I can
snack my teeth in like jello
Play somethin' I can understand,
play me some backyard blues
It's enough to make a lady in the dark
It's enough to make a baby to sleep on
It's enough to make a
body move around
It's enough to make a woman
jump and shout
Something sweet,
something mellow
Something I can suck
my teeth in like jello
There's something I can
understand
Maybe it's some backyard
blues
Something sweet, it make it funky
Make me lay back and grin
like a monkey
Something I can understand
Play me some graveyard
blues
Yeah
applause
Thank you.
