The Spencer Davis Group: Autumn ‘66

In a world filled with so much sorrow
Every one is thinking of himself
So little time is spent on planning for tomorrow
No one really seems to care
It's so easy to be lost in a land
Where no one wants to help you, no one understands
But we'll hold hands together
And we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
By your side I'll always be
Though things be good or bad
From now until eternity
I'll do anything I can
To make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll be waiting for you
Then we'll hold hands forever
And we'll make our plans together
Till the end of time, darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
I'll make you happy when you're feeling blue
Should you ever have to leave me, I'll be waiting for you
Then we'll hold hands together
Darling for ever and ever, oh
Till the end of time, oh darling
Till the end of time, my sweet darling
Till the end of time, I know I'm gonna love you for ever and ever
Oh darling, oh darling for ever and ever

Once I lived the life of a millionaire
Spent all my money, didn't have a care
Taking all my friends out for a mighty good ride
Bootleg liquors, champagne and wine
Then I began to fall so low
didn't have a penny and no place to go
If i ever lay my hand on a dollar again
I'm gonna hold on to it till the eagle grins
Nobody loves you when you are down and out
In your pocket you ain't got one penny
And your friends, you don't have any
Well just as soon as you've get back on your feet again
Here they all come the same old year long lost friends
I thought that it's mighty strange but without a doubt
For nobody wants you, I got to tell ya
Nobody needs you
Nobody loves you when you're down and out.
(I got to tell you one more time)

When a man loves a woman, can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'd change the world for the good things he's found
If she is bad, he can't see it, she can do no wrong
Turn his back on his best friend if he put her down
When a man loves a woman, spend his very last dime
Trying to hold on to what he needs
He'd give up all of his comforts and sleep out in the rain
If she says that's the way it ought to be
Well this man loves you, woman
Give you everything I can
Trying to hold on to your high class love
Baby, please don't treat me bad
When a man loves a woman, deep down in his soul
She can bring him such misery
If she plays him for a fool, he's the last one to know
Loving eyes can never see
When a man loves a woman, she can do no wrong
She can never look another man
When a man loves a woman, hey hey I know exactly how he feels
'Cause baby baby you are my girl
When a man loves a woman

I got a woman mean as she can be
Yeah I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost as mean as me, oh oh
A black cat up died of fright
'Cos she crossed my path last night
Pretty baby, I got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost as mean as me, yeah yeah
(Mean mean woman blues, mean mean woman blues) yeah
(Mean mean woman blues, mean mean woman blues) hey hey I know
(Mean mean woman blues, mean mean woman blues)
Well a black cat up died of fright
'Cos she crossed my path last night
Well I got a, got a woman mean as she can be
Sometimes I think she's almost as mean as me
Hey hey (mean mean woman blues)
Just a little bit softer (mean mean woman blues)
I wanna hear it (mean mean woman blues)
Yeah (mean mean woman blues)
Sometimes (mean mean woman blues)
Hey I got to move on (mean mean woman blues)
Hey hey (mean mean woman blues)
Oh oo oh oo (mean mean woman blues)
Oo oo oo (mean mean woman blues)
What'd I say (mean mean woman blues)
Sometimes (mean mean woman blues)
Just just just (mean mean woman blues)
Just a little bit softer (mean mean woman blues)
I wanna hear it (mean mean woman blues)
Hum mean (mean mean woman blues)
Mean (mean mean woman blues)
I've got it right now (mean mean woman blues)
Just a little bit louder (mean mean woman blues)
Hey hey hey (mean mean woman blues)
Hey hey hey (mean mean woman blues)
Hey hey yeah (mean mean woman blues)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah (mean mean woman blues)
What'd I say (mean mean woman blues)
Oh yeah (mean mean woman blues)
She's so mean to me (mean mean woman blues)
Every night and day (mean mean woman blues)
Sometimes (mean mean woman blues)
Sometimes (mean mean woman blues)
Sometimes I got to move right on (mean mean woman blues)
I got to move her on (mean mean woman blues)
Hey hey I got to move her on (mean mean woman blues)
Sometimes I think she's almost as mean as me !

I'm gonna put it this a-way, all I hoped has come for me
The things you had to say, you could have told me yesterday
High high high time baby, high time you come back with me
High high high time baby, won't you come along with me?
High high time baby, who can your other man be?
Well the change has got to come, ah let me know what's wrong with me
Get that feeling in the day, in the night time too
How can you treat me this a-way? Don't know all the things you do
Ah please change your mind, pretty baby, high high high time
High high high time baby, won't you come along with me?
High high time baby, who can your other man be?
Well the change has got to come, pretty baby, let me know what's wrong with me, come on
I'm gonna put it this a-way, (?)
The things you have to say, you could have told me yesterday
High high high time baby, high time you gotta back with
Come on come on come on baby, come on home with me
Ah come on come on baby, come on home with me
Well a change has got to come, ah let me know what's wrong with me
Come on come on come on come on baby, I wanna know, I wanna know
Come on come on come on baby, who can the other man be
Well the change has got to come

Well, my temp'rature's risin' and my feet on the floor,
Twenty people knockin' 'cause they're wanting some more,
Let me in, baby, I don't know what you've got,
But you'd better take it easy, this place is hot
So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day.

Well, I feel so good, ev'rything is sounding hot,
Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire,
Been a hard day and I don't know what to do,
Wait a minute, baby, it could happen to you.

So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day.

Well, I feel so good, ev'rybody's gettin' high,
Better take it easy, 'cause the place is on fire
Been a hard day, nothin' went too good,
Now I'm gonna relax, honey, ev'rybody should

So glad we made it, so glad we made it
You gotta gimme some lovin', gimme some lovin'
Gimme some lovin' every day

Well, my pad is very messy and there's whiskers on my chin
And I'm all hung up on music, and I always play to win
I ain't got no time for lovin' 'cause my time is all used up
Just sittin' 'round creatin' all that groovy kind of stuff

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

Well, if I had my choice of matter I would rather be with cats
All engrossed in mental chatter showin' where our minds are at,
And relating to each other just how strong our will can be
In resisting all involvments with each groovy chick we see

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so

I've got to keep my image while suspended on a throne
That looks out upon a kingdom filled with people all unknown
Who imagine I'm not human and my heart is made of stone
And I've never had no problems and my toliet's trimmed with gold

Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
Well, I'm a man, yes I am, and I can't help but love you so
