Hittin' the Note

Rain falls on a sleepy southern town,
the midnight moon was burnin' brightly.
Memories rushin' on a river, oh Lord!
As you lay sleeping without me.
Highway songs keep me rollin' on,
still I long for you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one again.

I make my living pouring out my pain,
trying to make it through another day.
Your arms reach for me,
on the wind I can feel it,
even though they're a thousand miles away.
Your eyes remind me of everything that's beutiful and blue.
I won't feel myself without you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one, oh yeah.

So hold a candle 'till the darkness fades, nightime sleeps until dawn.
My heart is pounding like the ocean, my soul is empty as the sky, but I know someday I'll be coming home.
Time goes by in the twinkling of an eye, and still I burn for you.
Desdemona, I will be your only one again.

I just wanna be your only one, yes I just wanna be your only one,
your only one.

Fatal beauty, the chokin' kind
Dangerous feeling in this heart of mine
How can you love me
And treat me so unkind
You got me floppin' like a fish in a pan
Ain't no way to treat your man

Chorus:
Maydell
Baby won't you please love me
Maydell, you sure put the squeeze on me
I don't know why I love you,
You put me through hell
I can't break your spell, Maydell

Fire spreads quick through the neighborhood
Talk is cheap when the story's good
Nobody said you did, but everybody said that you would
You got me feelin' like a dog, chasin' his tail
I'll never catch you - you play the game too well

Chorus

Every time I try to walk away,
Just walk away
You bat them eyes, beg me to stay,
Honey won't you stay
Ruby red lips, callin' my name
Forget about the sorrow and the shame
Maydell

Every time I try to walk away,
Just walk away
You bat them eyes, beg me to stay,
Honey won't you stay
Ruby red lips, callin' my name
Forget about the sorrow and the shame
Maydell

Chorus
