Lyrics
New Orleans
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She tells me I'm forgiven, but she won't say what it is I've done
She calls it women's intuition, that makes her think that I've done something wrong
I'm so here to conquer... It's only 'cause I want her... I think the woman is on to me
She's screaming she's not mad, ok maybe just a little bit
And how I make her oh so sad, because apparently I'm full of shit
I don't need confusion with emotional illusions... I think the woman is wrong for me
Take me down to New York City, Dry me off in New Orleans
Find me women oh so pretty, Make me fall down to my knees
I don't talk about tomorrow, tomorrow's with the break of dawn
I'll be here in San Francisco, wake up early and I'm gone
She tells me there's a limit, that I seem to push most every day
She's so sick of all my gimmicks, she's so sick she cannot get away
And I don't need to argue, it's just the shit we go through... I think the woman is on to me
CHORUS
Everytime I think I've given her the best of me
You can turn around and take up all the rest of me And I don't need that no more
She takes a taste and says that I'm her favorite recipe
But she'll never know how she has made a mess of me And how I've been here before
And I'm sorry that there's things in life that she seems to think I ignore
I don't know if I can take all this intensity... Don't you ever tell me this could be my destiny
'Cause of that I'm not so sure
It's constant conversation, but I never can fit in a word
And an open invitation to let her know that she can rule my world
I'm not sure what to do, there's just some things I know are true
I think the woman is wrong for me
CHORUS
I may scream from Minnesota, you may hear in Santa Fe
I remember things that I had told, while swimming nude in half-moon bay
I don't ever have a reason, I don't know why I'm not strong
But I'll meet you here in Nashville, wake up early and I'm gone
