B i o g r a p h y
 (by Greg Prato)

There may have been other "retro" rock acts before him, but Lenny Kravitz was one of the first to not be pigeonholed to a single style as he's touched upon such genres as soul, funk, reggae, hard rock, psychedelic, folk, and ballads over the years. Born in New York on May 26, 1964 (his mother was actress Roxie Roker, best-known for her role as Helen Willis on the popular TV series The Jeffersons, and his father was a TV producer), Kravitz was raised in Los Angeles, where he found himself around countless musical giants as a youngster due to his parents friendships with the likes of Duke Ellington, Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Bobby Short, and Miles Davis, among others. Kravitz was a member of the California Boys Choir until his teenage years, when he decided to pursue rock & roll while in high school and under the heavily influence of funk rocker Prince. Kravitz's admiration of the Purple One was so great that he at first patterned his style and approach directly after Prince and became known as "Romeo Blue" (complete with blue contact lenses), but failed to land a recording contract. In the late '80s, Kravitz relocated back to New York City, where one of his roommates turned out to be actress Lisa Bonet (who played the part of Denise Huxtable on The Cosby Show); they eventually got married. During this time, Kravitz wisely discarded his Prince-like approach and looked back to such '60s/'70s classic rockers as Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Stevie Wonder, Curtis Mayfield, Bob Marley, and the Beatles for inspiration. Kravitz found a kindred spirit in engineer Henry Hirsch (who would stick by Kravitz throughout his career). With a back-to-basics approach, his style was quite refreshing in the humorously gaudy late '80s. He inked a recording contract with Virgin Records and issued his debut release, Let Love Rule, in 1989. Kravitz's debut proved to be a surprise hit due to the success of the title track, which became a hit single and oft-aired video. A few critics were quick to assume that Kravitz's retro look and sound were simply a shtick to get the public's attention, but come the '90s, it had become integrated into the mainstream (both musically and fashion-wise), proving that Kravitz was a bit of a trendsetter. It was around this time that Kravitz penned a major hit single, not for himself but for Madonna, who went to number one with the sultry track "Justify My Love." What should have been a time of happiness for Kravitz quickly turned sour as he and Bonet divorced by the early '90s.

Kravitz's heartbreak was very evident in his sophomore effort, Mama Said, which was even stronger than its predecessor, highlighted by the Led Zep-like funk rocker "Always on the Run" (a collaboration with Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash), as well as the mega hit with the Curtis Mayfield-esque soul ballad "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over," which confirmed that Kravitz's success was no fluke. But the best was yet to come for Kravitz. His third release overall, 1993's Are You Gonna Go My Way, is often considered to be the finest album front to back of his entire career, and with good reason: Every single song was a winner, including the up-tempo anthemic title track, which turned out to be one of MTV's most played videos for that year. The album was a massive hit and Kravitz became an arena headliner stateside, as well as being featured on countless magazine covers. Despite an almost two-year gap between albums, Kravitz's fourth release, Circus, came off sounding unfocused and was a major letdown compared to his stellar previous few releases. Perhaps sensing that he needed to stir things up musically, Kravitz dabbled with electronics and trip-hop loops for his next album, 1998's 5. Although not a huge hit right off the bat, the album proved to have an incredibly long chart life, spawning the biggest hit of Kravitz's career, "Fly Away," almost a year after its original release. With the single's success, Virgin decided to cash in on the album's sudden rebirth by reissuing it around the same time with a pair of extra added bonus tracks, one of which became another sizeable hit single, a remake of the Guess Who's "American Woman" (which was used in the hit 1999 comedy movie Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me). Kravitz's first best-of set, the 15-track Greatest Hits, was issued as a stopgap release in 2000, while his sixh studio release overall, Lenny, was issued a year later. Baptism followed in 2004. In addition to his own albums, Kravitz continues to pen songs for other artists and his compositions have appeared on albums by such rock heavyweights as Aerosmith and Mick Jagger, while he produced and wrote the majority of Vanessa Paradis' obscure self-titled 1992 release.

Again

(Stankonia Remix / Lenny Kravitz feat. OutKast )

I wanna see you again, see you again 
(earth-tone 3, the remix, Lenny Kravitz)
and don't you know we could win
(Again, you know what time it is?, OutKast)
I wanna see you again
(Dirty South, Big Bro, Know talk about?, yeah, do somethin')

I've been searching for you
i've heard a cry within my soul
I never had a yearning quite like this before
now here you are walking right through my door

(I wanna see you again)
All of my life, where have you been
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)
and if that day comes
I know we could win
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)

a sacred gift of heaven
for better, worse, wherever
And i will never let somebody break you down
or take your crown never

(I wanna see you again)
All of my life, where have you been
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)
and if that day comes
I know we could win
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)

i've searched through time
i've always known
that you were there upon your throne
a lonely queen without her king
i've longed for you my love forever

Rap :
Ladies say forever
as a tony he say maybe
cause when you show emotion
some young ladies think its gravy
Thinkin the Hillary Clinton
not to mention and she got you baby
Your connection to this woman
makes you tingly conversating
You think about that pussy 24/7
365 duce four straight pimpin' you in heaven
posta play you post post up
then you make the most of
a situation thats raft-racing
then there's always masturbation, here

(I wanna see you again)
All of my life, where have you been
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)
and if that day comes
I know we could win
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)

(I wanna see you again)
All of my life, where have you been
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)
and if that day comes
I know we could win
(and don't you know we could win)
I wonder if i'll ever see you again
(i wanna see you again)

I wonder if i ever see you again
(I wanna see you again)
I wonder if i ever see you again
(I gotta see you again)
I wonder if i ever see you again
(I wanna see you again)
I wonder if i ever see you again
(I wanna see you again)
(and don't you know we could win)
(I wanna see you again)
(and don't you know we could win/i wanna see you again)
(I wanna see you again)
(I wanna see you again)

*** Thanx a lot to Adrian for this one ***

All my life

Is it the way that you feel when i'm kissing on you
Or is it the soul I can see in your eyes
The clothes that you wear or the smell of your hair
Or is it the way I can't sleep when you're not there

All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you

Is it the way that you feel deep inside
Or is it the way that I feel so alive
Your style and your flair are beyond compare
Or is it the way that we feel when we're on fire

All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, Oh I, I've been waiting for you
Every night, Oh I've been waiting for you

All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you
All my life, Oh I, I've been waiting for you
All my life, I've been waiting for you

I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting for you

Another Day

( Michael Jackson featuring Lenny Kravitz )

My life has taken me beyond the planets and the stars
And you’re the only one that could take me this far
I’ll be forever searching for your love

I walked away but I was wrong
I can't make it another day
You’re the one that makes me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You’re the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm
(I can't live another day without your love)

Come on now

At night (at night)
I pray before I sleep in hope of finding you (finding you)
I've opened up my heart to let you to come through
I've closed my eyes, I'm searching for your love

I walked away but I was wrong
I can't make it another day
You’re the one that makes me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You’re the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm
(I can't live another day without your love)

I walked away but I was wrong
I can't make it another day
You’re the one that makes me strong
(I can't make it another day)
You’re the fire that keeps me warm
(I can't make it another day)
How did I get through this storm
(I can't live another day without your love)

Another life

Haven't you heard it could be coming tonight
Just leave all your things and come and celebrate life
This time is for love, not for heartache and strife
There's no time for games and there's no time to fight
Just feel all the love that is in the air,
The feeling so good and it's everywhere,
So come on along if you heart's feeling right,
Just open your wings it's a natural flight
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
See you in another life

He walked on this earth so we can party tonight,
He taught us of faith 'cause it's not about sight
He taught us of peace and unconditional love
He led us from wrong and forave us there of
He did all the things 'cause he wanted you
He died on that cross so you wouldn't have to,
And now all the worlds such a beautiful light,
Just open your eyes it's a beautiful sight
You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
Another life, come on !

You can do what you want, you can say I'm a fool,
And I'll see you in another life
See you in another life, oh yeah
Another life
See you in another life, another life
See you in another life, oh yeah,
Another life, see you in another life
Take me higher higher, Oh yeah yeah
Higher higher, higher yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah !
Higher higher, come on -(living? you sinners?) yeah
Higher higher, higher yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Ascension

Brothers and sisters
Everything's gonna be alright
We're gonna be together
In the moonlight
No more pain or strife or sorrow
It's a brand new day
You don't need no money
'Cause everything's free

Come with me baby
'Cause it's been such a long long time
It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild

Hey look at that smile
On that pretty girl's face
She got no positions
But she's poised and has grace
It's an inner beauty thing baby
That shines and shines
It ain't about your appearance
But the soul, the inside

So come with me baby
'Cause it's been such a long long time
It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild

Rise up, rise up
Get up, get up
Come on, come on

Come with me baby
'Cause it's been such a long long time
It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild
Come with me baby
'Cause it's been such a long long time
It's time for ascension
To be free, to be wild
To be wild, to be wild
To be free to be wide
Free

Billy Jack

( The Tribute to Curtis Mayfield )

Just out of Monday
Run into a friend
Down the street, down the street
Where I live
Ah! Ah! Sad things begin
I could feel from within
From the message, from the message
He had to give
'Bout a buddy of mine
Running out of time
Somebody past noon, shot across the room
And now the man no longer lives
Too bad about him,
Too sad about him
Don't get me wrong, the man is gone
But it's a wonder he lived this long
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! didn't care nothing about being black
Ah! Billy Jack
Can't be no fun ( can't be no fun )
To be shot, shot with a hand gun
Body sprawled out, you without a doubt
Running people out, there on the floor, oh oh oh
Ah! Ah! Bad bloody bloody mess
Shot all up in his chest
One sided duel, gun and a fool
What a way to go
Up in the city they called him Boss Jack
But down home he was a alley cat
Ah! Didn't care nothin' bout being Black
Ah, Ah, Billy Jack
Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!

Breathe

( Absolut )

I’m so into you
Don’t know what to do
I feel that cupid’s hit me with an arrow
I know this is true
‘Cause all I see is you
If you're my queen
Then I will be your pharaoh

I thirst in you love
I can’t get enough
I just wanna hear you breathe
You burn in the blood
I’m drownin’ in the flood
I just wanna hear you breathe

I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just
I just wanna hear you breathe
I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just
I just wanna hear you breathe

Our souls have aligned
To me you were designed
You are my charm
And no one else can take it
If you’re so inclined
I’ll keep your love enshrined
Inside my heart where no one else can break it

I thirst in you love
I can’t get enough
I just wanna hear you breathe
You burn in the blood
I’m drownin’ in the flood
I just wanna hear you breathe

I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just
I just wanna hear you breathe
I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just
I just wanna hear you breathe

I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just, I just

I thirst in you love
I can’t get enough
I just wanna hear you breathe
You burn in the blood
I’m drownin’ in the flood
I just wanna hear you breathe

I just wanna hear you breathe

I thirst in you love
I can’t get enough
I just wanna hear you breathe
You burn in the blood
I’m drownin’ in the flood
I just wanna hear you breathe

Brother

Henry

Brother, got to sing your song
Brother, is taking us so long

For the elderly brother has raised us by his love
And to be equal is the freedom of his love
When will we realized that the skin is just a glove
To be thankful for the freedom of his love

Sister, stand up tall and proud
Sister, yell it strong and loud

I'm black and I'm proud

For no human can change the course of time
And no human creates the live in mind
So how can a man makes rules when yet he has no love
And how can a man a woman fill they are above

For an
heavenly brother has raised us by his love
And to be equal is the freedom of his love
When will we realized that his skin is just a glove
And be thankful for the freedom of his love

Brother brother brother
Brother brother brother brother
Brother brother brother brother.

Change

( Free Myspace Song for Obama 08 )

We need hope, we need love
We need peace, we need God
We must communicate
That’s how we erase hate

It is time for a change we can believe in
It is time for a change we got to start turning around
´Cause the future of our world is on the table
It is time, it is time for a change

There’s enough to go 'round
But our greed took us down
Lift somebody when they're down
Free someone when they're bound

It is time for a change we can believe in
It is a time for a change we got to start turning around
Because the future of our world is on the table

It is time, it is time for a change
It is time, it is time for a change
It is time, it is time for a change.
It is time, it is time for a change

I'm asking you to believe in yourself
I'm asking you to believe in God
´Cause we’re all our Father's children
We are the people, we are the power

So come on take a stand
Get on up raise your hand
We can make a new plan
Yeah, we can change, yes we can.

It is time for a change we can believe in
It is a time for a change we got to start turning around
Because the future of our world is on the table

It is time, it is time for a change
It is time, it is time for a change
Oh, it is time, it is time for a change
Oh, it is time, it is time for a change
Change
Change
It's time for a change
Change
It's time for a change
It is time
Change
Time for a change
Oh it is time
Change
Time for a change
It is time
Change
Time for a change
It is time
Change
Time for a change
Oh it is time, it is time for a change

Cold turkey

( Cover / J. Lennon )

Temperature's rising
Fever is high
Can't see no future
Can't see no sky

My feet are so heavy
So is my head
I wish I was a baby
I wish I was dead

Cold turkey has got me on the run

My body is aching
Goose-pimple bone
Can't see no body
Leave me alone

My eyes are wide open
I can't get to sleep
One thing I'm sure of
I'm in at the deep freeze

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Come on,
Cold turkey has got me on the fucking run

Thirty-six hours
Rolling in pain
Praying to someone
Free me again

Oh I'll be a good boy
Please make me well
I promise you anything
Get me out of this hell

Cold turkey has got me on the run
Cold turkey, cold turkey,
Cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey,
Oh, oh, oh, yeah, Oh, oh, oh, oooh
Cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey, cold turkey
Yeahhhh

Confused

Talking 'bout a woman
Talkin' 'bout a man
I just can't seem to get it together
Joining hand to hand
The clock, it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks

I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views, yeah
I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose

Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
Let me feel good inside
All I wanna do is love you, love you, love you
Instead of making you cry
But when I come around
I'd just left another on the other side of town

I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose

I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose

You ask me if I love you, baby
And I tell that I do
But don't you ask me if you're the only one, woman
'Cause' I can't say that it's true

Talkin' about a woman
Talkin 'bout a man
I just can't seem to get it together
Join woman to man hand to hand
The clock it ticks and it tocks
But my heart is on the rocks

I'm confused, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose

I'm confused yeah, so confused
And I've got to tell you something's wrong with my views
I can't choose

I'm confused, yes I am darlin', so confused,
And I got to tell you something's wrong with my views,

Woah, ain't life grand
You're always dreaming
About the things you don't have

And oh, you think it's a drag
You're taking life for granted
You won't live it 'till you understand

That you ain't read to rock
Until you're ready to roll, yeah

Put your gun down
And dance around the fire
Under the moonlight
The flames are getting higher

Put your gun down
And dance around the fire
Under the moonlight
The flames are getting higher

Ain't life a bitch
The tricks are turning
I know you're trying to get rich

But hey, you're pulling a scam
You're gonna wake up one day
Just to find out that it was a sham
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
When you trade money for love
It is gonna get old, yeah

Put your gun down
And dance around the fire
Under the moonlight
The flames are getting higher

Oh put your gun down

For the first time

I want to fall in love again
For the first time
Makes me kind of wonder if you're still mine
I want to press your lips on mine
For the first time
Makes me kind of wonder if you're still mine
Love is something
You can't get in a five and dime
And love is the question of more time
And love is something
That's really hard to find
Love makes a strong man
Get down on his knees in the crowd
Just lay your hand
On mine
Yeah, for the first time
Makes me kind of wonder if you're still mine
And I wonder If you'll ever really be mine

Guns & Roses

( Jay-Z f/ Lenny Kravitz - The Blueprint 2: The Gift & the Curse LP )

Yeah it's magic
Uhh, Jay-Z and Lenny Kravitz
And it's a Heavy D product you bastards
Come on
Ha hey yo stop playin man
This is real serious
Ha (It's the rock) yeah yo

[Jay-Z]
Post Postatono, Hov' hangin with Bono
You too can live like Salvatore Ferragamo
And you too can cool out poolside after Delano
And you too flow like you was out of your mind yo
And who knew dude who loved apple pies from McDonalds
Would soon be the boss of the Big Apple, ya know
And who knew dude would play ball for the NBA
Would make a mistake on the who know it stayed still in the way
Who knew that would be his last shot, who drew up that play
They giveth and they taketh life is cool that way
But even a broken clock is right two times a day
You could have turned Guns into Roses like two times today
Now there's something you gotta say two times to Jay
I got my shades on waiting for the sun to shine my way
Got my boom box, suntan lotion waiting for action
Its safe when you play with skills, good luck could happen
Let's go

(C'mon) It's the Roc (repeat 4X)
That's right

[Jay-Z]
It got to hot so I jumped off in this rap shit
You got it criss-crossed ain't no turning me backwards
Too many District Attorneys concerned with the actions
Of one individual he's criminally attached
I turned in all my rap chips I'm earning my bachelors
While dating all the models and actresses
I'm learning all the potholes in every single barrio
Trying not to mess up my axis kid
On the road to riches through trafficking
Through rappining whatever's happening
Roc-a-wear I'm the young black Ralph Lauren
Every time I get out they put me right back in
The Michael Corleone of the microphone
The Michelangelo of flow I paint pictures with poems
Have you ever known moss like a rolling stone
Case the Grim Reaper visits my home, nigga I'm gone c'mon

(C'mon) It's the Roc (3X)
(C'mon) That's right (C'mon)

[Lenny Kravitz: repeat 2X]
Life is all about Guns and Roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes
Some get lucky and some get chosen
Just like life, Guns and Roses

[Jay-Z]
More Guns then Roses, foes is, visibly shook of the invisible book, let's go
Flowers need water to grow, it gotta rain
And in order to experience joy you need pain
Every time a baby is born, somebody slain
You know the saying, somebody's lose is another's gain
The sun comes out when the water goes down the drain
When the rainbow in the cloud comes out we do it again
Everything evens up, you just wait
Even a garbage can gets a steak
You ain't even a garbage can you have faith
But when it turns your way before it turns away
To turn that into something you gotta learn from Jay
You will get return in your investment if attention you pay let's go

(C'mon) It's the Roc (3X)
(C'mon) That's right (C'mon)

[Lenny Kravitz: repeat 2X]
Life is all about Guns and Roses
Bittersweet like friends and foes
Some get lucky and some get chosen
Just like life, Guns and Roses

Life is all about Guns and Roses

Have you ever been ( to electric ladyland )

( Power of soul - A tribute to Jimi Hendrix )

Have you ever been
Have you ever been
To Electric Ladyland?

The magic carpet waits
For you
So don't be late

I wanna show you
The different emotions
I wanna run to
The sounds and motions, heeey
Electric woman waits for you and me
So it's time we take a ride
We can cast all of your hang-ups over the seaside
While we fly right over the love filled sea
Look up ahead
I see the loveland
Soon you'll understand.

Make love, make love, make love, make love.

I wanna show you
The angels will spread their wings, yeah
I wanna run to
Good and evil lay side by side
While electric love penetrates the sky
I wanna show you
Lord, Lord, Lord I wanna show you
I wanna show you
Haaa, haaa , haaa
I wanna show you

I wanna show you
Show you
Oh ! I wanna show you
You gotta believe i wanna show
I wanna show you
I wanna show you
Ah yeah, I wanna show you
I wanna show you...show you!

I'll be around

I'm sorry if I tell you that you don't smell like roses
I'm tired of all the hypocrisy and all your silly poses
But honey what I tell you is the truth
So don't turn away
When I said I accepted you
I was here to stay

And I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh,I'll be around

I'm sorry if I offended you
But don't walk away
But someone's gotta speak the truth
About the things you say
You can't just dog everybody
Who's supposed to be your friend
Cause honey your dish is full
And your leash is waitin' on a friend

And I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around
Oh,I'll be around

I'll be around
Out on the town
I'll be around
Oh,I'll be around
I'll be around

I can always be found
Cause I'll be around
I'll be around
I'll be around

Is it me is it you ?

And so there comes a time,
We must both make up our minds
Is our angel singing true
Is it me is it you

I just got to know it now
Rode somewhere, some place, somehow
Is our love as deep as blue
Is it me is it you
Is it me is it you

I'm lost in your love
Don't think I ever stopped
I got the feeling that's the reason why
And the question's loud and clear
Should we stay or should we bend
It just gets deeper in the end
I know you want to know it too
Is it me is it you
Is it me is it you
Yeah

Like Father Like Son

( Music by Elton John / Lyrics by Tim Rice )

Don't come on so cocksure boy
You can't escape your genes
No point in feeling pure boy
Your background intervenes

Listen good and listen straight
You're not the master of your fate
To this you must be reconciled
You'll always be your father's child

At times acclaimed, at times reviled
You'll wind up doing just what I'd have done
Like father, like son
Like father, like son
Oh oh oh ah ah hey hey

Don't assume your vices
Get handed down the line
That a parent's blood suffices
To condemn the child's design

I've done wrong, I can't deny
But at least I know that I
Shouldn't blame that on my stock
This may come as quite a shock

But I'm no chip off any block
I wouldn't wish those words on anyone
Like father, like son
Oh yeah
Like father, like son
Hey hey
Come on

He's lost all sense of reason
And why? Some filthy slave
That is the road called treason
That winds up in the grave

Just like me he's found that flesh
Can excite but will enmesh
Once we rid him of this blight
Once this harlot's out of sight

Then I think he'll see the light
He won't walk back to daddy he will run
Like father, yeah, like son

Oh yeah, oh hey, oh ah
Yeah yeah
Like father, like son
Yeah yeah yeah
Come on sing it now with me
Like father, like son
Father, like son
Like father, like son ...

Lonely rainbows

( Duet With Vanessa Paradis )

Vanessa
Tonight, I'm yours
And you are mine
I know a place we can hide
I know a place
Where we can finally see the rainbow
And we can fly fly fly fly fly

I know a place
Over the lonely lonely rainbow
Were we can make things right

I know a place where we can
Always be together
And we can go tonight

Lenny
I know a place where we can live our lives
And I know a place
Where we can see the light

Vanessa
I know a place
Over the lonely rainbow
Where we can make things right
Over the lonely lonely lonely lonely rainbow.

Main Squeeze

( Teena Marie )

Teena Marie : 
Hey you, where are you going with that suitcase
Naw, Put that down, you ain't going nowhere

Just reflecting on the way it was
It is irrelevant
The fact we're still together baby doll
Is so significant

I love you child I always will this will never change
I sign myself to you baby every time I speak your name

Back in the days when I was young and blind
Hanging with the sista's we was fine as wine
Checking you out on a regular basis
I even let you touch me in all my secret places

And I gave in
When you held me
And we move and we groove
And you wanted me
And you loved me
And you wanted me
And you moaned
And you groaned
So don't you be

Crazy I'm your baby
Hold me tighter baby ahh
I'm your main squeeze
Come on and squeeze me baby
Don't erase me
I'm your baby
Kiss me one time
And it's over
I'm your main squeeze
Squeeze me
Tease me

Round and round we go
In and out and up and over
Give me your love
Ooh I need your love
I want your love

I couldn't see the forest for the trees
And every guy that tried to turn my head
Could not obstruct my view
You love me child you always will
In this you have no choice
You sign yourself to me baby every time you hear my voice

Back in the day when you was leading the pack
Honey you're my man
Young gifted and black
Riding around in an old '64
I even let you touch me, even let you score

And I gave in
When you held me
And we moved
And we grooved and you wanted me
And you loved me
And you wanted me
And you moaned
And you groaned so don't be crazy

Couldn't see the forest baby, through the trees
All I saw was you - ooh baby
And we moved, and we grooved
And we moved and we grooved and you wanted me

Crazy I'm your baby
Hold me tighter baby ahh
I'm your main squeeze
Come on and squeeze me baby
Don't erase me
I'm your baby
Kiss me one time
And it's over
I'm your main squeeze
Squeeze me
Tease me

Round and round we go
In and out and up and over
Give me your love
Ooh I need your love
I want your love

Lenny : 
I
couldn't see the forest baby, through the trees
All I saw was you

Teena Marie : 
Ooh baby

Lenny : 
And we moved, and we grooved
And we moved and we grooved and you wanted me

Teena Marie : 

Don't erase me
I'm your baby
Kiss me one time
And it's over
I'm your main squeeze
Squeeze me
Tease me ....

Mean Sleep

Lenny Kravitz
What can we scrape together
With just the flesh as evidence
Handfuls of hate
And the bittersweet ambivalence

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
'Cos I am pushin' cobwebs
And I'm folding into myself

Lenny Kravitz
Who will find me under this mean sleep

Cree Summer
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz
You could burn a thousand days
And I would need no other light
You could die a thousand ways
And I'd still love you back to life

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
But my needs rising angry
And my loneliness like quicksand

Lenny Kravitz
Who will find me under this mean sleep

Cree Summer
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I am lost to the longing
I am moulded by the memory

Lenny Kravitz
Had to shut down half my mind

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
Just to still the space you left behind

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
'Cos I am pushin' cobwebs
And I'm folding into myself

Lenny Kravitz
Who will find me under this mean sleep

Cree Summer
How could the clouds tease us into thinking it might rain ?
How could the need deceive us into thinking things might change ?

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean, mean sleep over you
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz
Coming back to life

Cree Summer
I had a mean sleep

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean, mean sleep over you

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean sleep

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz
Coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean, mean sleep over you

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
I had a mean sleep

Lenny Kravitz & Cree Summer
And it hurts, hurts coming back to life

Lenny Kravitz
Coming back to life yeah

Rainy Day Women # 12 & 35

( Bob Dylan Cover - Chimes of Freedom LP )

They’ll stone you when you’re trying to be so good
They’ll stone you just like they said they would
They’ll stone you when you’re trying to go home
Then they’ll stone you when you’re there all alone
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

They’ll stone you when you’re walking along the street
They’ll stone you when you’re trying to keep your seat
They’ll stone you when you’re walking on the floor
Then they’ll stone you when you’re walking to the door
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
They’ll stone you when you’re at the breakfast table
They’ll stone you when you are young and able
They’ll stone you when you’re trying to make a buck
Then they’ll stone you and then they’ll say, “good luck”
Well I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Oh yeah come on
Everybody must get stoned

Well, they’ll stone you and say that it’s the end
Then they’ll stone you when that bitch comes back again
They’ll stone you when you’re riding in your car
Then they’ll stone you when you’re playing your guitar
Yes, but I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Everybody must get stoned

They’ll stone you when you walk all alone
They’ll stone you when you are walking home
And they’ll stone you and then say you are brave
Then they’ll stone you when you are set down in your grave
But I would not feel so all alone
Everybody must get stoned

Everybody must get stoned
Alright come on

Someone like you

Waiting impatiently for you to come
Wondering if you will always be the one
Is this good for you
Is it wonderful for you too

'Cause baby I told you I'm ready for love
I'm anticipating and waiting for some
Tell me what to do
Tell me baby 'cause I love you

It's been so lovely
Now that I got you
I've been looking for someone like you
Someone like you

What do you like to do
What do you got to say
Just tell me baby what's on your brain
'Cause I just want to sit down and talk for awhile
Do you want to make babies
Do you want a career
Well whatever it is darling, I just want you near
And we'll be together just you and me dear

It's been so lovely
(It's been so lovely)
Since I found you
I was praying for someone like you
Someone like you

Ain't been lonely
Now that I got you
I was waiting for someone like you
Come on come on come on yeah
Been so lovely
Now that I got you
I've been waiting for someone like you
Someone like you
Someone like you...

Spinning around over you

Baby, tell me that my love ain't good

You try to tell me that my heart ain't true
How would I waste my time doin' all I do for you ?

You ask me, baby, why you hesitate
That you just can't wait
But it takes the time it takes

Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round and round and

Well I might be late but what you're gonna do ?

Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round and round and
Spinnin' round and round over you

The majority

( With D.McKagan )

You call me the mean man
You point your finger at me
Having problems with authority
In every major city

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you
The majority

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need you to be I'll be me to the end

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

You got to think about your children
Fuck bureaucracy
Take the weight off your shoulders
We're not the public enemy
Can't you see, can't you see

You call me the mean man
I say you call me the mean man

And it's so easy for you
The majority, the majority
And there's no peace for you

Your white housewives
And your money-sucking friends
Don't need your to be
Cause I'll be me to the end

Got to think about the children
Think think about the children

You got to think about the children

Use me

( With M.Jagger )

War

( Target Version of Black & White America )

Do you think we can start over
Do we have the eyes to see
Is there any more devotion
Left inside our will to be

Or do you think that it's over
Inevitable prophecy
Do you see any other way that we can recover
If so you can work with me

I say war no more
I'm not gonna fight this war no more
I say war, uh uh
I'm not gonna fight this war no more

You and I shoulder to shoulder
That's the way we used to be
How the nights keep getting colder
What's become of you and me

Has our world come crashing towards
An enormous thunderous sea
Or will we discover that our future's in each other
And avoid this travesty
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I say war no more
I'm not gonna fight this war no more
I say war, uh uh
I'm not gonna fight this war no more

I say war no more
I'm not gonna fight this war no more
I say war, uh uh
I'm not gonna fight this war no more...

We want peace

Come on people
It's time to get together
It's time for the revolution!

Here is once again in our face
Why haven't we learn from our past
We're at the crossroads of our human race
Why are we kicking our own ass

We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast

We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast

We're on the eve of destruction my friends
We are about to go to far
Politicians think that war is the way
But we know that love has the power

We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast

We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast

The solution is simple and fame
There won't be peace if we don't try
In a war there is nothing to gain
When so many people will die

We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast

We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
We want it yes
We want peace
And we want it fast

What Do You Want From Me

You want my love, you want my blood
What do you want from me
I'm giving up, I've seen enough

Why don't you leave me alone
Do your thing, go find your home
You ain't never ever gonna be me
Oh, reach inside and take control
Stop that game, start acting grown
I'm just saying
You need to set yourself free, oh
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my blood
What do you want from me
I'm giving up, I've seen enough

What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my blood
What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my love

You steal my beat so you can walk
Swallow my words that make you talk
A five cent cover is all that you gonna be
You want to have soul, you've got to hone
Find your own flavor and find your tone
You'll feel a whole lot better once you deliver you'll see

What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my blood
What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my blood

You can't take blood from a stone
So take your ass and shake it home
And if you want to get funky
Don't get funky with me

What do you want from me
You want my taste, you ought to try
What do you want from me
You want my gig, you must be high
What do you want from me
You need to turn yourself around
What do you want from me
Are you a king, you are my crown

These sticks and stones, they break your bones
But you won't stop from breaking balls
I won't get low, just don't go there with me, oh
Drain my blood and drink it all
Take my love and break it off
But my soul is something you'll never take from me, oh

What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my blood
What do you want from me
I'm giving up, I've seen enough

What do you want from me
You want my love, you want my blood
What do you want from me
I'm giving up, I've seen enough

What do you want from me
What do you want from me
What do you want from me, oh, come one
What do you want from me
What do you want from me
What do you want from me

Without you

The sun is shining
But I don't feel the rays

But I don't want to play

I don't think I c
an make it
Without you
I don't think I c
an make it
Without you

I live life in luxury
But I believe it's a crime
Well you can't enjoy it
And all the time cr
y

Or maybe some kind of spell
'Cause it feels like a curse
When there's so much water
But all the time
thirst

I don't think I c
an make it
Without you
I don't think I c
an make it
Without you

I don't think I can make it
Without you
I don't think I can make it
Without you

My mind is a courthouse
My soul is a jail
My life is on death row
'Cause you are not there

I need a pardon
I can't stand the pain
What I do for your love now
If there's love to regain

I don't think I can make it without you
I don't think I can make it without you

I don't think I can make it without you
I don't think I can make it without you

I don't think I can make it without you
I don't think I can make it without you

You're an original

( Sheryl Crow - C'mon C'mon LP )

Give us what you got
Girl you got a lot
Seems you got an itch that¹s scratching
Lay it like it plays
Play it like it lays
All your Easter eggs are hatching
In your Cadillac
Reaching for your jack
There¹s nothing we can tell you
Just a little queen
Dirty mouth and mean
There¹s nothing we can sell you

You¹re an original, baby
Like we¹ve never seen before
You¹re an original, baby
Turn around and you¹re looking at a hundred more

Deadly in the sack
Grooving to The Clash
On some kind of wasted weekend
Pretty little girl
Expensive little world
Curiosity is peeking

Here today and gone by morning
Your ice cream cone is melting fast
Maybe Monday, maybe someday
Your lucky star won¹t fly on past

You¹re an original, baby
Like we¹ve never seen before
You¹re an original, baby
Turn around and you¹re looking at a hundred more

You¹re an original, baby
Like we¹ve never seen before
You¹re an original, baby
Turn around and you¹re looking at a hundred more

Turn around and you¹re looking at a hundred more
Turn around and you¹re looking at a hundred more
Turn around and you¹re looking at a hundred more

Caught you in a pose
That everybody knows
We thought you had something special

You¹re an original, baby
Like we¹ve never seen before
You¹re an original, baby
Turn around, turn around

You¹re an original, baby
Like we¹ve never seen before
You¹re an original, baby
Look out baby turn around yeah

You¹re an original, baby
Like we¹ve never seen before
You¹re an original, baby
Turn around, turn around, turn around

You¹re an original, baby

Live Tracks

All along the watchtower

( Cover / Bob Dylan )

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Business men they
They drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
No one will level on the line
Nobody of it is worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly fool
There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us talk falsely now
The hour's getting late
Yeah

All along the watchtower
The princess kept the view
While all the women came and went
Bare feet servants too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl
Two riders were aproaching now
And the wind began to howl

Yeah
All along the watchtower
Yeah
All along the watchtower
Oh come on

*** Thanx a lot to Tina & Ramphal who corrected a mistake ***

Anti Love Song

Live With
Skin of Skunk Anansie, French Tv Show (Taratata), 10 March 96, Paris.

Skin
No I don't want love you,
`Cos I know who you are,
That`s why I`ve been staying away from you,
That is why I ever call,
Huummm, I know that you could possess my body,
And I know you could make me scrawl
I know you`d have me shaken,
Have me climbing the wall
That`s why I don`t wanna` love you

Lenny Kravitz
`Cos I know how you are
Sure you say you`re right on and your righteous, girl
Come with me, I know you`d be right off
`Cos I know you could possess my body,
I know you could make me crawl,
And just as hard as I fall for you girl,
Well you know you would fall for me harder
That`s why I don`t want to love you

Skin
`Cos I know what you would do to my heart
You scourge me like a hot iron,
Leave me whining all alone in the dark,
`Cos I know that you would make me suffer
I know that you would drive me wild ( that`s right ) wild
You would take me in a circle
And when it gather you, I know you`d disappear
That`s why I don`t wanna` love you

Lenny Kravitz
 `Cos I know you like to be in charge,
And with me you know you can`t control me, baby,
`Cos you know you drive your car
I have you eating your ego ( I don`t think so !! )
I`d make it pocket your pride, Oh no
And just as hard as I`ve been loving you, oh girl,
Well you know you`d be loving me harder

Lenny & Skin
That`s why I ain`t gonna` love you

Lenny
Harold, come on

Lenny & Skin
That`s why I don`t wanna love you
No I don`t want to love you X7

And I felt it in the race and ruin

And I feel it in the icy dawn

And I smell it in the one I taste
And I see it in my father's face
And I hear it in a symphony
And I feel in a love so for me yeah

God gave me everything I want
Oh, come on, I'm giving it back to you

If 6 was 9

( Cover Live / J.Hendrix )

If the sun refused to shine
I don't mind, no baby I don't mind
And If the mountains fell in the sea
It ain't me, you know you've got to be free

I got my own world to live through
And I ain't gonna copy you.

Now if six turned out to be nine
I don't mind, no baby I don't mind,
If all the hippies cut off all their hair,
I don't care, no baby I don't care.

Because I, I've got my own world to live through,
And I ain't gonna copy you.

White collar conservative walkin' down the street
Pointin' their plastic finger at me,
Hopin' my kind will drop and die
But I'm gonna wave my freak flag high,
So, play on drummer.

I've got my own world to live through,
And I ain't gonna copy you

I Found Out

( John Lennon Cover / Live 1990 )

I told you before
Stay away from my door
So don't you give me that brother, brother, brother, brother

The freaks on the phone
Won't leave me alone
So don't you give me that brother, brother, brother, brother, brother
Yeah

I, I found out
I, I found out

Now that I showed you what I've been through
Don't take nobody's word what you can do
There ain't no Jesus gonna come from the sky
Now that I found out I know I can cry

I, I found out
I, I found out

Some of you sitting there with your cock in your hand
Don't get you nowhere don't make you a man
I heard something 'bout my Ma and my Pa
They didn't want me so they made me a star

I, I found out
I, yeah I found out
Come on

Old Hare Krishna got nothing on you
Just keep you crazy with nothing to do
Keep you occupied with pie in the sky
There ain't no mother fucking guru
Whp can see through your eyes

I found out, I say I found out
I say I, I found out

I've seen through junkies, I've been through it all
I've seen religion from Jesus to Paul
Don't let them fool you with dope and cocaine
No one can harm you, feel your own pain

I, I found out
Let me tell you that
I, I found out
Come on

Many rivers to cross

( Jimmy Cliff Cover / Live Stripped on B93 - 2008 )

Many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And it's only my will
That keeps me alive
I've been licked
Washed up for years
And I merely survive
Because of my pride

And this loneliness won't leave me alone
It's such a drag to be on my own
My woman left me and she didn't say why
Well I guess I got to cry

I've got many rivers to cross
But just where to begin
I'm playing for time
There are times
I find myself
Thinking of committing
Some dreadful crime

I've got many rivers to cross
But I can't seem to find
My way over
Wandering I am lost
As I travel along
The white cliffs of Dover

Many rivers to cross
And I merely survive
Because of my will
Come on Harold

Oh, many rivers to cross
I've got many rivers to cross
Many rivers to cross
Many, many, rivers to cross

My flash on you

( Love Cover )

I don't want to be in your company
I don't need you to take care of me
Let me alone, let me alone, let me alone

Won't you let me be
'Cause all I want in this world is to say I'm a man that's free

People talk about the way I look
I think that all the things they say I've got enough to write a book
But don't they know, don't they know, don't they know
It's a waste of breath
'Cause I don't want to be like them
I just want to be myself

Don't try and push your smuggled drugs my way
'Cause baby I lose my soul and that's the way it's gonna stay
You try to put me down on the ground, an
yway that you choose
Get your kicks from your fix
Cause baby this time, you're gonna lose

No expectations

( Cover Rolling Stones / Duo Live With Mick Jagger )

Mick Jagger
Take me to the station and put me on a train
I've got no expectations to pass through here again

Lenny Kravitz
Once I was a rich man and now I am so poor
But never in my sweet, short life have I felt like this before

Mick Jagger
Your heart is like a diamond, you throw your pearls at swine
And as I watch you leaving me, you pack my peace of mind

Lenny Kravitz
Our love was like the water that splashes on a stone
Our love was like our music, it's here and then it's gone

Mick Jagger
So take me to the airport and put me on a plane
I've got no expectations to pass through here again

Lenny Kravitz & Mick Jagger
To pass through here again

Hey babe, your hair's alright

You love bands when they're playing hard
You want more and you want it fast

You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes
And I love your dress
Because your face is a mess
You're a juvenile success
So how could they know
How could they know
I say I could they know
How could they know
How could they know

From our past
How many more years
Will we last
'Cause life is just moving so fast
For silver and gold

Vanessa
For Silver and gold
How much more time
Can we waste
How much more land
Be defaced

Lenny
Oh Yeah
'Cause soon we will all be erased
For silver and gold

Vanessa
'Cause our earth should last forever
And our lives forever on, on ...

Lenny
For God gave us all to partake

Vanessa
Why can we just learn to relate
We're pissing on our children's face
For silver and gold.

Lenny & Vanessa
For silver and gold

Vanessa
For silver and gold

Lenny & Vanessa
For silver and gold

Superstition

( Stevie Wonder )

( Live at The Horde Festival with Blues traveler )

Very superstitious
Writing's on the wall
Very superstitious
Ladder's about to fall
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Wash your face and hands
Rid me of the problems
Do all that you can
Keep me in a daydream
Keep me going strong
You don't want to save me
Sad is my song

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Very superstitious
Nothing more to say
Very superstitious
Devil's on his way
Thirteen-month-old baby
Broke the looking glass
Seven years of bad luck
Good things in your past

If you believe in things that you don't understand
Then you suffer
Superstition ain't the way

Superstition ain't the way...
Superstition ain't the way...

Take Me To The River 

 ( Cover / Al Green )

Al Green :

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
You stole my money and my cigarettes
And I haven't seen hide nor hair of you yet

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Hey hey

Al green & BB king :

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

Lenny Kravitz :

I don't know why she treated me so bad
Look at all those things that we could have had
Love is a notion that I can't forget
My sweet sixteen I will never regret

I wanna know
Won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Al green & BB king :

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

Sheryl Crow / Lenny Kravitz / Al green / BB King : 

Hold me, love me, please me, tease me
Till I can't, till I can't take no more
Take me to the river

BB King / Lenny Kravitz

I don't know why I love you like I do
After all these changes you put me through
The sixteen candles burning on my wall
Turning me into the biggest fool of them all

I wanna know
Oh won't you tell me
Am I in love to stay?

Al green & BB king :

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground

One more time !

Al green & BB king :

Take me to the river
And wash me down
Won't you cleanse my soul
Put my feet on the ground
Take me to the river

The Harder They Come

( Duet with Asa live Taratata 2009 / Jimmy Cliff Cover )

Asa :
Well they tell me of a pie up in the sky
Waiting for me when I die
But between the day you're born and when you die
They never seem to hear even your cry

So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Oh oh the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all

Lenny :
Well the officers are trying to keep me down
Trying to drive me underground
And they think that they have got the battle won
I say forgive them Lord, they know not what they've done

But as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine
And then the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
You see the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Hey ! Oh yeah !

Asa :
And I keep on fighting for the things I want
Though I know when you're dead you can't

Lenny :
But I'd rather be a free man in my grave
Than living as a puppet or a slave

Asa :
So as sure as the sun will shine
I'm gonna get my share now of what's mine

Lenny :
And then the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
You see the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Say what Asa

Asa :
Hey, hey, hey
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
The harder they come
Yeah !
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Break down !

Lenny & Asa :
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
You see the harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all
Tell them, tell them lenny
Say it one more time
Tell them, tell them lenny
The harder they come
The harder they'll fall, one and all

When the levee breaks

( Kansas Joe McCoy & Menphis Minnie / Live Katrina Hurricane Benefit )

If it keeps on raining
Levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on raining
Levee's goin' to break
And all the water gonna come in
I have no place to stay

Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
Well all last night I sat on the levee and moan
I was thinking about my baby and my happy home

If it keeps on raining
Levee's goin' to break
If it keeps on raining
Levee's goin' to break
And all these good people have no place to stay

Now look here mama what am I to do yeah
Well look here mama what am I to do
I ain't got nobody to tell my troubles to

Now I work on the levee all night and day
I work on the levee all night and day
I ain't got nobody to keep the water away

Oh cryin' won't help, prayin' won't do no good
I said, cryin' won't help, prayin' won't do no good
When the levee breaks, mama, oh you got to lose

Now I work on the levee all night and day
Oh I work on the levee, mama, oh all night and day
And I work so hard, to keep the water away

I had a woman, she won't do me no good
Oh I had a woman, she won't do me no good
So I'm gonna go back to my used to be

I's a mean old levee
Cause me to weep and moan
I's a mean old levee
Cause me to weep and moan
Gonna leave my baby
And my happy home
