SHE'LL COME RUNNING BACK

I woke up early this morning

Looking around for my love

But her sweet voice I didn't hear - no

Stopped a man in the park, yes I did

And asked him why the women do the things they do

He said: Son, there's something every man must realise - yeah

Lord made Adam and he made Eve - yeah

He made them both, yes he did, a little naive

It takes a man with insight, yes it does

to really understand - yeah

We all go through some changes in life before we're considered a man - yeah

Don't let today's problems get you down - no

The time she's been cryin' will surely bring her back around, yes it will

Son I told you all I can

Now you see what it takes to be a man

We must hold our head up high

I'm a man, I'm a man

I'll be ready, come what may

She'll be back, I know, some day

The Lord made Adam, and he made Eve - yeah

He made the both, yes he did, a little naive - yeah

She'll be back, yes she will, yes she will, I know she will

She'll come running back to me, yes she will, yes she will - yeah

She'll be back, yes she will, yes she will, I know she will

She'll come running back to me, yes she will, yes she will - yeah

She'll be back, yes she will, yes she will, I know she will

She'll come running back to me, yes she will, yes she will - yeah

She'll be back, yes she will, yes she will, I know she will

She'll come running back to me, yes she will...

POETRY IN MOTION

all times i ve heard ths record,,never really listened to the words all the way through

beautiful

This is the first time I have paid attention to the lyrics - aren't they just awesome!

Pulls at the heart strings in just a few lines!

It's the "little naive" bit that gets me - I was never able to work out what he was singing at that point......Paul are we to assume this is coming out on Grapevine then? A worthy replacement for my knackered styrene copy with DJ run in hiss and considerable surface noise then

This record is pure class ......................... nice to hear what i've been singing has been err correct LOLOL - always loose myself on the dancefloor when this is played - hits the spot

Doris

Thanks for putting up the lyrics of this masterpiece. Love dancing to this and singing along, but the words are hard to follow, the backing seems a bit loud in places.

Hope Martin Thomson plays this tomorrow at Walls Of Heartache.

Back that with a haunting melody, what a tune, ya dont realise just how brill that is til you see it written down like that.

Lyric sheets should be handed out before its played so we can all sing along.

Glad to see that the odd snippet I have been joining in with was right.

You're all deaf

You're all deaf

Pardon ?

You're all deaf

Aurally challenged if you please, Pete!!

To be honest i'm not overly bothered about hearing "classic" northern tracks, but this was played at Soulsville last night, and it sounded so good. Because of the type of venue i attend, you don't really get to hear that many of the standards of the scene, but i absolutley loved this 45' last night. Always remember picking that e.p up with it on (Boot) back in the early 80's at Rotherham. Great lyrics (glad you wrote them, as i'm rubbish with knowing what they sing)

Is it just me or is it nicer sometimes to not know the lyrics? I know loads of half songs and sometimes it's nice just to know a snippet or make up a bit yourself when dancing away, or the chorus at least.

Having said that, The Nomads - Somethings Bad has cracking lyrics.

If a bloke stopped me in the park I would either give him 10p or level him Top tune though.

"Son I told you all I can

Now you see what it takes to be a man

We must hold our head up high

I'm a man, I'm a man"

Sometimes we become so jaded by scene politics and "etiquette" that we forget about all the things this beautiful music can mean to so many.

Pure poetry - Isn't this what SOUL MUSIC should be about?

A man telling it like it is through the medium of song.

Thanks to Paul for posting the lyrics - this has enhanced my appreciation of this beautiful track - and possibly the whole Rare Soul genre - which in these cynical days is no mean feat!

Get in my son!

This is the first time I have paid attention to the lyrics - aren't they just awesome!

Pulls at the heart strings in just a few lines!

I'm shocked Gene....is it not the fundimental most important part of being into the music to actually listen, feel and understand the lyrics...i sit alone hours on end sometimes with a set of headphones on trying to soak up every heartfelt emotion that this music can project......possibly why i'm such a moody sad bastard i know.....lol

Some of these songs are simply poetry...i've said it before to sing about it you have had to live...i feel many of the performers did just that.

Regards - Mark Bicknell.

Quality !!

You two diamonds still defining and debating the ultimate Soul expression/ recordings.

Passion is something you feed !

3 meals a day plus snacks......

Wanted to know for years what it was he was actually singing ... so God bless you

Spot on with the lyrics. Just played the track from The Soul Club and followed the lyrics at the same time on SS - magical!

Brian

Spot on with the lyrics. Just played the track from The Soul Club and followed the lyrics at the same time on SS - magical!

Brian

Just read this thread properly for first time and have to add my bit here because I'm not quite sure about the "spot on" bit re the lyrics Brian.... follow/listen to them a little closer.... this is one of them tunes I always seem to recall the lyrics to even when "p*ss*d" at a soul nite/niter as it's always been I fave of mine due to "everything" about it including the "heartfelt lyrics".... masterful IMO....

The "millbrand copyright" printed ones are probably what are/were on the original "lyric sheet" .... BUT not quite what he sang if you listen closely....

I've re-written the original lyrics from above in blue.... the bits I've put in RED CAPITALS are what ARE sang different/extra.... the words left in black are from the above original lyrics but are the missing, different or replaced words.... I'm sure you'll get what I mean if you "sing-a-long" again....

These slight "differences" in lyrics, and I'm sure there's more records that don't follow the original written words, show to me how the artist/group get "into" what their doing and "just do it".... brilliant IMO as gives the record it's soulfulness....

Added this.... for your ease of playing the tune ....

Good idea ..... Marjorie Black - One More Hurt ...... please

Good idea ..... Marjorie Black - One More Hurt ...... please

everybody warned me baby to keep away from you

but baby you've got an unholy power and I just can't break lose

boy you never please me honey like a good man should

even though you know I love you daddy you know that you're no good

 

baby you got that special something that makes me feel good inside

every time I'm good to you daddy you go and hurt my pride

then you make me love you daddy and you treat me really good

then you go and mess around like I knew you would

 

if you're really gonna love me baby like you say you do

it doesn't really make good sense now to walk away from you

if you keep on  running honey with your funny ways

you're gonna be the one to be to put me right down in my grave

Anyone know what are the lyrics to "Sister Lee"…….?

Anyone know what are the lyrics to "Sister Lee"…….?

 

the 'ad libbing' aside, there are only two verses

 

can't nobody cook the way you do

I'm unable and just helpless without you

all night long I cry and I moan

you went away and now all my loving has gone

 

anything you want I wanna see you with it

I'll work 15 hours to see that you get it

baby I'll be, lord, your number one fool

just to get some of that sweet loving from you

BOUGHT A BOOT OF THIS IN THE LAST DECADE NICE HEAVY VINYL,

 

 BUT THE B SIDE SWINGS BACK AND FORTH WHILST PLAYING  SO THE SOUND IS NOT GREAT,

 

ANYONE KNOW WHO HAD EM PRESSED UP

 

 KEV

Simon.... Thanks old chap. I was, however, being facetious.....

"We all go through changes in life before we're considered man"

 

I've always heard that as

 

"Women go through changes in life in more ways than a man"

 

Given the sentiment of the song I've always considered this to be right,

I stand corrected.

Well,I don't know what you lot see in this tune,does absolutely nowt for me ,£800 quid plus ,give over

 

Bazza  

just reading the lyrics sends a shiver up my back 

 

awesome!!!

Never sussed the full lyrics - thanks for posting. 

 

My obvious interpretation is always an ironic lament at the end....  There's no way she's ever coming back you knob...!!!  How many more times you gotta keep repeating yourself until you get the message!!   Kin' move on!   (Else you'll end up old & lonely... living in your allotment shed - surrounded by rubble, garden canes, and discarded piles of Baileys... (her favourite drink)   er....   (lyrics to bricks, broken bottles & sticks.  anyone?)

 

Killer strings.

Last year me and my mates tried to figure out the lyrics of Jerry Butler´s "Stop Stepping On My Dreams". We all feel that they are outstanding poetry, but we don´t know whether we got them right. If you have any ideas for approvements, please let me know...

 

Thanks,

"Save the babies, that’s what I say

Save the babies

 

I see a whole lot of folks shooting down the babies

And I got a couple of little guys that are just growing up

And I really get kind of shook up when I look around

See folks puttin’ down what they’re puttin’ down

It seems like I could hear ’em saying

 

Everybody keeps talkin’ ’bout the world

And what it’s coming to

You know, they say we can’t get it together

And it’s the end for me and you

 

But hey, I  just really started living

A few days ago

And I dream of things I’ve never seen

And places I ain’t been before

So I’ve got a few helpful phrases

of people who singing those praises

 

Stop thinking with your behind

and take up the signs that are reasons for rhymes

And stop stepping on my dreams

Give me a chance, give me a chance,

Please give me a chance

 

 

You know most folks are scared of dying

So the fear brings it near

And I see ’em buying books to get to heaven

But they fight real hard to stay right here

Now the prophets gave us the solution

They said, “love your fellow man”

Y’all mistook it for pollution

And tried to wash your dirty hands

But dig it

 

 

Everything is temporary

And I think it’s kind of necessary to

Stop thinking with your behind and my changes are signs

They are reasons for lives and

Hey y’all, why don’t you get out of my dreams

Hey you, I want you to stop stepping on my dreams"

Can someone post the lyrics to Sad Girl.  Carol Anderson. Lol

Well,I don't know what you lot see in this tune,does absolutely nowt for me ,£800 quid plus ,give over

 

Bazza  

Baz, I once felt a bit like this until it got spun at the 100 Club and it took the roof off with a packed dance floor and everyone clapping in unison, one of the best ever atmospheres there. I decided then, I would add Mel Britt to the collection. Owning a record helps you to really appreciate it's qualities so I recommend picking it up for $8 if you get the chance or £1,000 plus if you can as it's not going to drop in price.

My only issue is with your addition of "CUZ".

I hope its not a scratch on your record because he comes in quite clearly (to my ears!) on that line "TIME that she's been cryin'....."

Otherwise, brilliant and I'll more or less go with it!

 

 

 

 

Fantastic record ,  great lyrics , but the strings take it to another level👍🎶👌🎶
