Baby Sittin' - Johnnie Taylor

Sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Fanned by a summer breeze Sweeter than the honey is countin' my money Those greenbacks on the trees Comes a summer shower, drops o' rain falling Sweeter than Christmas chimes Hearing those jingles upon the roof shingles Like pennies, nickels and dimes Tho' it's known that what I own is not a large amount Fields of gold that I behold are in my bank account Yeah, sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Happy as I can be And to top it all When shadows fall I look to heaven and I see There's a silver dollar in the sky Shining down on me Yeah, sittin' in the sun, countin' my money Happy as I can be, yes And to top it all When shadows fall I look to heaven and I see There's a silver dollar in the sky It's shining, shining, shining down on me

Put your lips close to mine As long as they don't touch Out of focus, eye to eye 'Til the gravity's too much And I'll do anything you say If you say it with your hands And I'd be smart to walk away But you're quicksand This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous And I, I, I like it I can't decide if it's a choice Getting swept away I hear the sound of my own voice Asking you to stay All we are is skin and bone Trained to get along Forever going with the flow But you're friction This slope is treacherous This path is reckless This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I would follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This hope is treacherous This daydream is dangerous This hope is treacherous I, I, I I, I, I I, I, I Two headlights shine through the sleepless night And I will get you, get you alone Your name has echoed through my mind And I just think you should, think you should know That nothing safe is worth the drive And I will follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home I'll follow you, follow you home This slope is treacherous I, I, I like it
