Shade Your Eyes From The Daylight
Ramona · Shake What Yo' Mama Give Ya [1980]
Shade your eyes from the daylight
'Cause the truth is plain to see
My love take upbound the limelight
Come on over to me
(2x)
You got me walking out the bar
Can't seemed to get no sense at all
And I could give as good as I get
So come on in, babe
The water is wet
But yea, yea, yea
I'm stranded out at sea
Come and row your boat and rescue me
And I just can't pounded, had to felt
Now hurry, boy, I need your breath
Shade your eyes from the daylight
'Cause the truth is plain to see
My love take upbound the limelight
Come on over to me
(2x)
Come on over to me
Come on over to me
Come on over to me
