Play Something Sweet - B.J. Thomas

Well I tried to run my game

She said man that’s the same old thing

I’ve heard before

And I’m too tired to go for your show

Again and again

And she started to explain

She said man I ain’t sayin' what your playin'

Just can’t make it

But I just can’t take it anymore

Play something sweet, play something mellow

Play something I can sink my teeth in like jello

Play something I can understand

Play me some brickyard blues

Play something sweet, now make it funky

Just make me lay back and grin like a monkey

Play something I can understand

Play me some brickyard blues.

Well I started to sweat

She said don’t get upset, cause you just might

Break a string

And that won’t do a thing for your show, no

So I said to myself

I said self do you see what is sailing through my soul

And I got to have some more, don’t you know.

Play something sweet, play something mellow

Play something I can sink my teeth in like jello
