Hello Sundown - Johnnie Taylor

Hello sundown

I’m so glad you’re here

Why I’ve been waiting so long

For you to appear

Because I know

When the sun goes down

That’s the only time

My lover can come around

Hello sundown

And goodbye pain

We’ll meet the same time tomorrow

Down in Lover’s Lane

I know you belong to another man

I’ve got to see her

Anyway I can

Hello sundown

Now we know it’s wrong

Don’t you know we tried to fight it

Whoa, for so long

Temptation and desire

Don’t you know that’s enough

To set anybody’s soul on fire

Oh no

Oh baby

Oh

You’re the only one can hide all my longing

For her

For her

Oh baby

Oh lawdy

Now everybody here’s ever had the blues

Bling bling

Shame bang

Bling bling

Just take it easy

Just take it easy let it ooze out

You know I believe that every now and then

Everybody get the blues sometime

Yes right there

Shame

Now if you ain’t never had the blues

You ain’t got no soul

Because you know

Sometimes your woman can hurt you so bad

A girl

Sometimes your man can treat you so mean

Walk the floor all night

Have you ever been mistreated?

Then you know what I mean

Mmm hmmm

Now I’m sure that we don’t have no people here that’s ever been mistreated

Cause ain’t nobody said, «Yeah»

If y’all been mistreated let me hear you say yeah!

Have you ever been alone by yourself

Have you ever felt like you didn’t have a friend in the world

You try to go to your friend’s for consolation

And find them complaining too

Everybody got a problem

Now if you go along with your man or your woman for so long

You decide to do something on your own

Some people find the part time love

I betcha 60% of the women here tonight got a part time love

And the fells ain’t doing too bad themselves

But ain’t one thing about it

You have to wait til the sun go down

You know when you’re slipping around

Everybody can’t see ya

And the one thing about slipping around

You don’t want everybody to see ya

I said, sundown

I’m so glad to see ya

Say man, blow me a little blues right there

Do you feel alright?

Do you feel alright?

Do you feel alright?

If you feel alright let me hear you say yeah

I’m gon blow myself

And I bet you do too

I gotta tell you one more time baby

I gotta tell you one more time baby

I don’t want nobody

Always

Sitting around

Me and my stuff

Listen

I don’t need nobody

Always sitting around looking at me and my stuff

I love to hod my woman real tight

Way over in the middle of the night

And she tells me, «Johnny, everything’s alright»

«Sock it to me knock me clean outta sight»

Doo be

Don’t you know it’s gettin' sundown
