Knock on wood

I don't want to lose this good thing that I've got
'Cause if I do, I would surely, surely loose a lot
'Cause your love is better than any love I know

It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I'd better knock on wood, baby

I'm not superstitious about you, but I can't take no chance
You got me spinning, baby, baby, I'm in a trance
'Cause your love is better than any love I know

It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I'd better knock on wood, baby

It's no secret, that woman is my loving cup
Well, she sees to it that I get enough
Just one touch from her, you know it means so much

It's like thunder, lightning
The way you love me is frightening
I'd better knock on wood, baby
I better knock, knock, knock

Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Think I better knock, knock, knock 

Everybody needs. Somebody to love

I'm so happy to be here tonight
So glad to be here in your wonderful city
And I have a little message for you
And I want to tell every woman and every man tonight
That's ever needed someone to love
That's ever had somebody to love them
That ever had somebody's understanding
That's ever had someone to need your love all the time
Someone that's with them when they're up
Somebody that's with them when they're down
If you had yourself somebody like this you better hold onto 'em
Let me tell you something
Sometimes you get what you want
And you lose what you have
There's a song I sing
And I believe that if everybody would sing this song you can save the whole world

A tribute to a King

Listen, people, listen
I`m gonna sing you a song
About a man who lived good
But didn't live too long

He was born in Macon, Georgia
A poor boy without a dime
He found his way to Memphis
Singing These Arms Of Mine

Otis, Otis Redding was his name
Without his soulful singing
This old world won`t be the same

Now he traveled on to Frisco
New York and abroad
Everywhere he sang
The people would applaud

One day he left Georgia
Wisconsin bound
But he didn`t get to sing that night
The plane he was in went down

He was a soul music singer
The king of the Memphis sound
It makes me feel so sad
Cause now he ain`t around

He died with his guitar
Close to his hands
But his soul lives on today
In the heart of a million fans

Taking about

Otis, Otis Redding was his name
His picture oughta be hung
In the music hall of fame

Otis, he was known as Big O
Otis, we gonna miss him so
Otis, ooh, yeah,
We gonna miss him so

Tramp

Tramp!
What you call me?
Tramp.
No you didn't!
You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.
Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing.
I know I'm a lover.
Matter of opinion.
That's all right, Mama was. Papa too.
And I'm the only child. Lovin' is all I know to do.
You know what, Otis?
What?
You're country.
That's all right.
You straight from the Georgia woods.
That's good.
You know what?
You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, tramp.
Haircut?
Woman, you foolin', ooh, I'm a lover.
Mama was. Grandmama, Papa too. Boogaloo.
All that stuff. And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun.

Tramp!

You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What?
That's right. You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket.
You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents.
I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang,
Ooooooohhh, I'm a lover.
Mama was. Papa too. I tell you one thing.
Well tell me.
I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the sun.

You're a tramp, Otis.
No I'm not.
I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What's wrong with that?
Look here. You ain't got no money.
I got everything.
You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want.
I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, anything you want, woman.
Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, baby.
Oh, you foolin'.
You're still a tramp.
That's all right.
You a tramp, Otis. You just a tramp.
That's all right.
You wear overalls.
You need a haircut, baby.
Cut off some of that hair off your head.
You think you a lover, huh? 

 See saw

Sometimes you love me like a good woman oughta
Sometimes you hurt me so bad, my tears run like water
Sometimes you get me out, yeah, right before your friends now
Then you kiss on me baby, tell me you love me again, yeah

Your love is like seesaw
Your love is like seesaw, yeah
Your love is like seesaw, baby
Go up, down, all around like a see saw

Sometimes you tell me I'm your sweet candy man
Then sometimes, baby, I just never know where I stand
You lift me up when I'm on the ground
Soon as I get up, child, you send me tumbling down

Oh, your love is like seesaw
Your love is like seesaw, yeah
Your love is like seesaw, baby
Go up, down, all around like a seesaw, yeah

When I'm, kissing you and I like it
And ask you to kiss me again
I reach at you, you jump out of sight
You change just like the wind
Got it right, got it right, got it right now

Your love is like seesaw, yeah
Your love is like seesaw
Your love is like seesaw, baby
Go up, down, go up, down
Go up, down all around like a seesaw

Never know baby, [Incomprehensible]
Sometimes you love me, sometimes you [Incomprehensible]
Baby I don't need no talking of love
I want someone to love me all the time, right now

Sometimes you love me, you love me [Incomprehensible]
Up and down all around, I never know when you're with me baby
Never know when you're kissing me
[Incomprehensible] love you, I need to love 

Don't let me be misunderstood

Baby, do you understand me now
Sometimes I feel a little mad
Well, don't you know that no-one alive
Can always be an angel
When things go wrong I seem to be bad

I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do

'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've thoughts like any other man
And sometimes I find myself alone and regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

If I seem edgy, I want you to know
That I never meant to take it out on you
Life has it's problems and I've got my share
And that's one thing I never meant to do

'Cause I love you
Baby, don't you know I'm just human
And I've thoughts like any other man
But sometimes I find myself alone regretting
Some foolish thing, some foolish thing I've done

But I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

'Cause I'm just a soul who's intentions are good
Oh Lord, please don't let me be misunderstood

Oh Lord, don't let me be misunderstood
Don't let me be, don't let me be misunderstood
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
