The Things I Used to Do
G. Love And Special Sauce · G. Love and Special Sauce [1994]
Never do them no more baby
Things that I used to do
I ain't never gonna do them no more
Used to bother you around
Tears in my eye, Low to the ground
Try and get slower, We been nowhere
You would leave me
Like twinkle soul
Is where to go
Baby you and me
get with the roll
Here's a love song yeah
And Im gonna sing it to you so slow
In your eardrum getting ready
All night long I rock steady
Always glowing like Rudolphs nose at Christmas time
Sure to glowin
Shining, Undermining,
In your veins all in your mind
Upside you brain
Knock down deliver like hot tamales
I start to simmer
Things that I used to do
I ain't never gonna UMM do them no more
Things that I USED to do...yeah
Never ever gonna do them no more
Used to bother you around
Tears in my eye, sinkin Low to the ground
Lower than the ocean, swimmin in the sea
Like I'm a swordfish, check me
Baby shinin all night long
just to get some
The things the House man used to do
Never ever gonna DO them no more
Yeah the thing that the marshmellow
man- jimmy -jazz prescot on the bass
used to do
Never Ever gonna do them no more
The things that I used to do
Never Never Never Never gonna do them no more
