Píseň: Direct Me

Interpret:
Otis Redding
Album:
Love Man
I done cried a river of tears
 This you may not believe
 But I've been crying for five long years
 Afraid of all my fears


 Love has got me now
 In a terrible bet
 I done lost the best little woman
 That I ever had


 So direct Me
 Straight to my baby's love
 Direct Me
 Straight to my woman's love


 Shame on me shame on me
 I made a big mistake
 When I see my babe again
 I'm gonna bake me her favorite cake


 Ten thousand dollar reward
 For the first the one that finds her
 When I get my hands on her, y'all
 I'm gonna just chain and bound her


 Somebody direct Me
 Straight to my baby's love
 Direct Me
 Straight to my woman's love, ou, ou


 Deputy sherrif On your trail
 The FBI, I know,
 They won't fail, they can't fail
 They gonna bring you back


 Somebody direct Me
 Straight to my baby's love
 Direct Me
 Straight to that woman's love


 I got the feeling
 I wanna feel it, y'all
 Say I gotta feeling girl
 Lord, I wanna feel it, now, now
 I really do, really do, really, really
 I really do
 Ou wi, I need your love, now
 Needda your lovin' now
 Somebody direct me, now...
