Nina Simone - To Love Somebody (2004) by Nina Simone (보컬) on maniadb.com

Suzanne takes you down to her place newer the river
You can hear the boats go by
You can spend the night beside her
And you know that shes half crazy
But thats why you want to be there
And she feeds you tea and oranges
That come all the way from china
And just when you mean to tell her
That you have no love to give her
Then she gets you on her wavelength
And she lets the river answer
That youve always been her lover
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For youve touched her perfect body with your mind.

And jesus was a sailor
When he walked upon the water
And he spent a long time watching
From his lonely wooden tower
And when he knew for certain
Only drowning men could see him
He said all men will be sailors then
Until the sea shall free them
But he himself was broken
Long before the sky would open
Forsaken, almost human
He sank beneath your wisdom like a stone
And you want to travel with him
And you want to travel blind
And you think maybe youll trust him
For hes touched your perfect body with his mind.

Now suzanne takes you hand
And she leads you to the river
She is wearing rags and feathers
From salvation army counters
And the sun pours down like honey
On our lady of the harbour
And she shows you where to look
Among the garbage and the flowers
There are heroes in the seaweed
There are children in the morning
They are leaning out for love
And they will lean that way forever
While suzanne holds the mirror
And you want to travel with her
And you want to travel blind
And you know that she will trust you
For shes touched your perfect body with her mind.

And now we got a revolution
Cause i see the face of things to come
Yeah, your Constitution
Well, my friend, its gonna have to bend
Im here to tell you about destruction
Of all the evil that will have to end.Some folks are gonna get the notion
I know theyll say im preachin hate
but if i have to swim the ocean
well i would just to communicate
its not as simple as talkin jive
the daily struggle just to stay aliveSingin about a revolution
because were talkin about a change
its more than just evolution
well you know you got to clean your brain
the only way that we can stand in fact
is when you get your foot off our back

There' a light
A certain kind of light
I want my whole life to be
To live it with you
Live it with youThere's a way
Everybody says
Do each and every little thing
What good does it bring
If I ain't got you If I ain't got you
I ain't got you I ain't got youYou don't know
What it's like
Baby you don't
What it's like
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love youIn my brain
See your face again
I know my frame of mind
You ain't got to be so blind
And I'm blind so blindI'm a woman
Can't you see what I am
I live and I breathe for you
What good does it do
If I ain't got you If I ain't got you
I ain't got you I ain't got youSay you don't know
What is like
Baby you don't know
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love youOh you don't know
What is like
Baby you don't know
To love somebody
To love somebody
The way I love you

They say everything can be replaced
It say every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here
I see my life come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
So I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere in the side of your wall
I see my life come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released
Now you understanding man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear his voice shouting so loud
Crying out that he was not to balme
I see my life come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now any day now
I shall be released

I walk the lonely streets;
I watch the people passing by.
I used to smile and say hello.
Guess I was just a happy guy.
Then you happened,girl,
this feeling that posessses me.
I just can't move myself.
I guess it all just had to be.

* I can't see nobody...no,
I can't see nobody.
Mine eyes can only look at you...you.

I used to have a brain;
I used to think of many things.
I watched the falling rain
and listened to the sweet birds sing.
Don't ask me why, little girl.
I love you and that's all I can say.
You're ev'ry ,ev'ry breath I take.
You are my nights; my night and day.

* Repeat

Every single word you hear...is
coming from this heart of mine.
I never felt like this before...
a love like yours so young and fine.
And now as I try to forget you...
it doesn't work out any way.
I loved you such a long time ago...
but in my eyes you'll always be.
Every single word you hear...
is coming from this heart of mine.
I loved you such a long time ago...
don't know why...
And I don't know why...baby...

* Repeat

When you're lost in the rain in Juarez
And it's Eastertime too
And your gravity fails
And negativity don't pull you through
Don't put on any airs
When you're down on Rue Morgue Avenue
They got some hungry women there
And they really make a mess outa you
Now if you see Saint Annie
Please tell her thanks a lot
I cannot move My fingers are all in a knot
I don't have the strength
To get up and take another shot
And my best friend, my doctor
Won't even say what it is I've got
Sweet Melinda
The peasants call her the goddess of gloom
She speaks good English
And she invites you up into her room
And you're so kind
And careful not to go to her too soon
And she takes your voice
And leaves you howling at the moon
Up on Housing Project Hill
It's either fortune or fame
You must pick up one or the other
Though neither of them are to be what they claim
If you're lookin' to get silly
You better go back to from where you came
Because the cops don't need you
And man they expect the same
Now all the authorities
They just stand around and boast
How they blackmailed the sergeant-at-arms
Into leaving his post
And picking up Angel who
Just arrived here from the coast
Who looked so fine at first
But left looking just like a ghost
I started out on burgundy
But soon hit the harder stuff
Everybody said they'd stand behind me
When the game got rough
But the joke was on me
There was nobody even there to call my bluff
I'm going back to New York City
I do believe I've had enough
