A Lover Was Born

When Mom and Papa first laid eyes
 On me right from the start
 They knew right away a lover was born
 I'd be breakin' lovers' hearts
 (Breakin' lovers' hearts)
 At a very early age, yeah, I began to show sign
 That a stone cold lover was born
 Lord, I'm gonna let it shine, yeah
 (I'm gonna let it shine, yeah)
 Girl, if I can't love you
 A reel can make gumbo
 A drunken man don't stumble
 A seein'-eye dog can learn to lead the blind
 A bee don't deal in honey
 The Beatles ain't got no money
 And watermelons grow on a grapevine
 One day my papa told me
 ? Son, sit down, I gotta talk to you
 Said, don't believe I can't understand
 I've been through the same thing too?
 Said,? You think you're pretty hot stuff
 And you dig every girl you see
 But listen, son, settle for one
 It'll save a lotta misery in the long run?
 If that don't get it, sonny
 There ain't no corpse in the dawn
 There ain't no birds in a home
 And you can get black from a turnip
 If you squeeze and squeeze
 Tears don't go with the blues
 Chicken wear high-heeled shoes
 And Old McDonald's farm didn't have no trees
 I'm gonna take my papa's advice
 Though it's gonna be hard to do
 I'm gonna stop tryin' to prove a point
 I'm gonna give myself to you, girl
 If I fear you, baby
 Ain't no leaps in a frog
 There ain't no bumps on a log
 And you can get black from a turnip
 If you squeeze and squeeze
 A new cow don't give milk
 A egg don't got no yolk
 And I'd pull side of pole right out of tree, yeah
 Baby
