Lyrics

Bob Dylan and Suze

All Lines

I got knocked down and my head was swimmin'

I got love for you and it's all in vain

I got me a secret membership card

I got me one good friend

I got mixed up confusion

I got my back to the sun 'cause the light is too intense

I got my black dog barkin'

I got my dark sunglasses

I got my dark sunglasses

I got my hammer ringin', pretty baby, but the nails ain't goin' down

I got my mind made up

I got my walkin' shoes

I got no choice

I got no idea what I want

I got no place left to turn

I got no reason to be there, but I

I got nothin' to say, 'specially about whatever was

I got nothing left to burn

I got nothing to go back to now

I got nothing, Ma, to live up to

I got shoved down 'n' pushed around

I got sidetracked in El Paso, stopped to get myself a map

I got some friends down the way''

I got the heart and you got the blood

I got the porkchops, she got the pie

I got this graveyard woman, you know she keeps my kid

I got to be careful, I don't want to be forced

I got to get to her somehow

I got to know, babe, will I be touching you

I got to know, Lord, when to pull back on the reins

I got to laugh halfways off my heels

I got to see you baby, I don't care

I got to the river and I threw my clothes away

I got too much to get done

I got troubles so hard, I can't stand the strain

I got troubles, I think maybe you got troubles

I got up in the mornin' 'n' looked under my bed

I got up this mornin', saw the rising sun return

I gotta confess

I gotta get a message to my baby

I gotta woman, she's so mean

I grabbed back hold of m' picnic basket

I grabbed my hat and I began to run

I grabbed my hat and I began to run

I guess he had to say one last goodbye to the son that he could not save

I guess he knew I wouldn't lie

I guess I can't see you no more

I guess I should have known

I guess I was too off the handle, not sentimental enough

I guess I'll be leaving tomorrow

I guess I'll never know for sure

I guess it must be up to me

I guess it was up to me

I guess that I never will

I guess there's just us two.''

I guess you'll feel much better when

I had a dream about you, baby

I had a job in the great north woods

I had a pony, her name was Lucifer

I had a woman down in Alabama

I had 'em once though, I suppose, to go along

I had fourteen-karat gold in my mouth

I had gone a long, long way

I had my white shorts rolled up past my waist

I had no better friend than he

I had no idea what a woman in love would do!

I had no one for to go my bail

I had no one to go my bail

I had so little time to fail

I had so much left to do

I had something to protect

I had to leave there in a hurry

I had to rearrange their faces

I had to say something

I hate myself for lovin' you and I'm glad the curtain fell

I hate myself for lovin' you and the weakness that it showed

I hate myself for lovin' you, but I should get over that

I hate that foolish game we played and the need that was expressed

I have come from so far away

I have dined with kings, I've been offered wings

I have fallen far beneath

I have gold chains, and the finest I have

I have gone from rags to riches in the sorrow of the night

I have heard rumors all over town

I have no one to meet

I have read all their statements and I've not said a word

I have seen you standing in the smoky haze

I have tried my hand at bribery

I have yuh understand

I haven't known peace and quiet for so long I can't remember what it's like

I hear a voice crying, ''Daddy,'' I always think it's for me

I hear that sometimes Satan comes as a man of peace

I hear the ancient footsteps like the motion of the sea

I hear the hot-blooded singer

I hear this poor call is on the house

I hear your name

I heard her say over my shoulder

I heard his best friend Frankie say, ''He ain't dead, he's just asleep.''

I heard it in a dream

I heard my ancestors calling from the land far beyond

I heard the deafening noise, I felt transient joys

I heard the drifter say

I heard the sound of a thunder, it roared out a warnin'

I helped her out of a jam, I guess

I hired out to Diamond Joe, boys

I hitched up my pony to a post on the right

I hope my tongue don't slip

I hope that you can hear

I hope you treat me kind

I hope you're satisfied.''

I hot-footed it . . . bare-naked . .

I hummed a little tune

I hung my head and stole away

I hurt easy, I just don't show it

I immediately tried to cool it

I investigated all the people that I knowed

I jumped a bean stalk

I jumped a fallout shelter

I jumped a ferris wheel

I jumped right into line

I just can't be happy, love

I just can't beg you any more

I just can't do what I done before

I just can't face up to tell 'em

I just can't fit

I just can't keep from crying

I just could not be what she wanted me to be

I just don't feel much like a

I just don't know what I'm gonna do

I just don't see why I should even care

I just don't think that I could handle it

I just go pump on it some

I just got to thank you

I just gotta pick myself up off the floor.

I just keep a-turnin' too

I just kept lookin' at the side of her face

I just make it down to Rose Marie's

I just might have to come see you

I just might tell you the truth

I just might tell you the truth

I just said, ''Good luck.''

I just say no thanks

I just walk along and stroll and sing

I just want to thank You, Lord

I just want you to know

I just wouldn't have a clue

I keep asking myself how long it can go on like this

I keep her posted in diamonds and lace

I keep listenin' for footsteps

I keep recycling the same old thoughts

I keep seeing visions of you, a lily among thorns

I keep thinking about you baby

I killed a man back there

I kissed goodbye the howling beast on the borderline which separated you from me

I knew he'd lost control

I knew I had to split

I knew it was up to me

I knew right away he was not ordinary

I knew that very instant

I knew the night had gone

I know a place where there's still somethin' going on

I know all about poison, I know all about fiery darts

I know every scene by heart, they all went by so fast

I know everything about this place, or so it seems

I know exactly where I went

I know for a fact he hates Commies cus he picketed the movie Exodus

I know I can trust you to stay where you are

I know I can't escape

I know I can't win

I know I look funny

I know I will sustain

I know I'm 'round you but I don't know where

I know it looks like I'm moving, but I'm standing still

I know it was all a big joke

I know plenty of people who would put me up for a day or two

I know someone will be there to care

I know somethin' has changed

I know that fortune is waitin' to be kind

I know the kinds of things you like

I know the men that shot him down will get what they deserve

I know the mercy of God must be near

I know the reason

I know there is no help I can bring

I know they did . . . them hard-core ones

I know they're not what they seem

I know this dream, it might be crazy

I know we're not perfect

I know what it is that has drawn me to your door

I know what you come here for

I know where I would go

I know who I can depend on, I know who to trust

I know you always say that you agree

I know you haven't made your mind up yet

I know your story is too painful to share

I know you're gonna think this song is a cliff

I know you're long gone

I know you're sorry, I'm sorry too

I know you're with some other man

I know you've seen it all

I know you've suffered much

I laid down the guitar

I laid on a dune, I looked at the sky

I landed in the old Northwest

I landed up on the downtown side

I laugh and I cry and I'm haunted by

I left all my dreams and hopes

I left by the moon

I left my home in Kansas

I left my life with you somewhere back there along the line

I left my mind behind

I left my woman with a twenty-dollar bill

I left Rome and landed in Brussels

I left town at dawn, with Marcel and St. John, strong men belittled by doubt

I let it slip gladly past the hands of my friends

I like the cool way you look at me

I like the way you love me strong and slow

I like to do just like the rest, I like my sugar sweet

I like to spend some time in Mozambique

I lit a cigarette on a parking meter

I live in another world where life and death are memorized

I lived by the window

I lived with them on Montague Street

I long to reach for you in the night

I long to see you in the morning light

I look in your eyes, I see nobody other than me

I looked at my wrist

I looked down low, I looked above

I looked for a cow and I saw me a few

I looked high and low for that big ol' tree

I looked way up my chimney hole

I lost the only pal I had

I love far better than thee.''

I love to see you dress before the mirror

I love you more than ever and I haven't yet begun

I love you more than ever, more than time and more than love

I love you more than money and more than the stars above

I loved you then, and ever shall

I made a god run but I ran too slow;

I made a god run but I ran too slow;

I make a few lines, and I show it for her to see

I make love to Elizabeth Taylor . .

I march in the parade of liberty

I married Isis on the fifth day of May

I may be right or wrong

I met a white man who walked a black dog

I met a young child beside a dead pony

I met a young girl, she gave me a rainbow

I met a young woman whose body was burning

I met another man who was wounded with hatred

I met little Sadie and I blowed her down

I met my little Sadie and I brought her down

I met my little Sadie and I brought her down

I met one man who was wounded in love

I met the sons of darkness and the sons of light

I might as well pass right on by

I might be in Colorado or Georgia by the sea

I might be in the swamp

I might go insane if it couldn't be sprung

I might have been a doctor or

I might need a good lawyer, could be your funeral, my trial

I miss my baby and I can't keep from cryin'

I moved in closer, got up on my toes

I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

I murdered little Sadie in the first degree

I must admit I felt a little uneasy

I must be guilty of something

I must follow the sound

I must go where it's quiet

I must have been mad

I must have made a few bad turns

I must have thought that there was nothing more

I musta run a mile

I muttered somethin' underneath my breath

I need a dump truck mama to unload my head

I need a shot of love, I need a shot of love

I need every bit of it for the places that I go

I need somethin' strong to distract my mind

I need something to support me

I need your love so bad, turn your lamp down low

I needed somebody to talk to

I never asked for your crutch

I never can remember anything that you said

I never could guess your weight, baby

I never did see no fire that could put out a flame

I never felt so good

I never got straight

I never knew what I had

I never know what the poor girl's gonna do to me next

I never made a friend

I never saw the man again

I never slept with her even once

I never wanted to go back there - I'd rather have died

I noticed at the ceremony, your corrupt ways had finally made you blind

I offer'd her my hand

I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn

I once held her in my arms

I once loved a fair young maid

I once loved a girl, her skin it was bronze

I once loved a woman, a child I'm told

I only mean it for the best

I only saw what they let me see

I ordered some suzette, I said

I owe my heart to you, and that's sayin' it true

I paid fifteen million dollars, twelve hundred and seventy-two cents

I paid my time and now I'm as good as new

I paid my time and now I'm good as new

I paid one thousand two hundred twenty-seven dollars and fifty-five cents

I picked up his body and I dragged him inside

I picked you up from the gutter and this is the thanks I get

I pity the poor immigrant

I plan it all and I take my place

I pounded on a farmhouse

I practice a faith that's been long abandoned

I promise to go under it

I pulled out for San Anton'

I push him back and I stand in line

I put all my confidence in Him, my sole protection

I put down my robe, picked up my diploma

I put my fingers against the glass

I rambled out of New York town

I ran into the fortune-teller, who said beware of lightning that might strike

I ran right home and I went to bed

I ran right home and I went to bed

I ran right outside

I ran right through the front door

I reached up, touched my shirt

I remember children's faces best

I remember her whispering yet

I remember quite freely

I remember travelin' on

I remember when I's ramblin'

I repeated that my friends

I rode all day and I'll ride all night

I rode past destruction in the ditches

I rode with him in a taxi once, only for a mile and a half

I rolled and I tumbled, I cried the whole night long

I said a quick prayer and I felt satisfied

I said as we hit land

I said ''Fee, fie, fo, fum, Cassius Clay, here I come

I said for the Pope of Eruke

I said goodbye unnoticed

I said I'd send for you and I did

I said it back to him

I said like I should

I said step it up and go-Yeah, man

I said without fear

I said, ''Could you help me out

I said, ''Don't ya tell Henry

I said, ''Hey, hey, in there

I said, ''Hold it, Doc, a World War passed through my brain.''

I said, ''I got no money.'' He said, ''That ain't necessary.''

I said, ''I like Fidel Castro

I said, ''I was born

I said, ''My friend, John, Brigitte Bardot

I said, ''No! No! No!

I said, ''Oh, kind miss, it most certainly does''

I said, ''Oh, no! no!

I said, ''Some of 'em, not all of 'em.''

I said, ''Sometime, not all the time.''

I said, ''That's all right mama.... you..... you do what you gotta do''

I said, ''That's the best news that I've ever heard.''

I said, ''Where are we goin'?'' He said we'd be back by the fourth

I said, ''Yes, ten thousand miles

I said, ''You know they refused Jesus, too''

I said, ''Your words aren't clear

I said, ''you're way wrong.''

I sang the song slowly

I sat down and wrote

I sat with my high-heeled sneakers on

I saw a black branch with blood that kept drippin'

I saw a highway of diamonds with nobody on it

I saw a house in the country being torn from within

I saw a newborn baby with wild wolves all around it

I saw a room full of men with their hammers a-bleedin'

I saw a white ladder all covered with water

I saw Albert an hour ago

I saw guns and sharp swords in the hands of young children

I saw it advertised one day

I saw screws break loose, saw the devil pound tin

I saw ten thousand talkers whose tongues were all broken

I saw that silver linin'

I saw the morning papers but I could not bear to see

I saw them leavin','' he says, and he stops

I saw thousands who could have overcome the darkness

I saw three ships a-sailin'

I saw what I wanted to be

I saw you in the wilderness among the men

I say it so it must be so

I say,'' all right, I know, but I don't have my drawing book!''

I say, ''How much you want for that?'' I go into the store

I say, ''I don't know, you got any soft boiled eggs?''

I say, ''I would if I could, but,

I say, ''Lord, have mercy, mama

I say, ''Why you say that for

I say, ''yes I could but,

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds

I see all that I am and all I hope to be

I see better days and I do better things

I see my light come shining

I see nothing to be gained by any explanation

I see people in the park forgetting their troubles and woes

I see people who are supposed to know better standin' around like furniture

I see pieces of men marching; trying to take heaven by force

I see that stationmaster, too

I see the burning of the cage

I see the burning of the page, Curtain risin' on a new age

I see the burning of the stage, Curtain risin' on a new age

I see the burning of the stage

I see the hungry clouds up above your face

I see the morning light

I see the sailin' boats across the bay go by

I see the shadow of a man, baby, makin' you blue

I see the trembling lion with the lotus flower tail

I see you in the streets, I begin to swoon

I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech

I see you there

I see your lover-man comin' - comin' 'cross the barren field

I see, I see lovers in the meadow

I see, I see silhouettes in the window

I seen a lot of women

I seen a man, I said, ''Howdy friend

I seen her on the stairs and I couldn't help but follow

I seen pretty people disappear like smoke

I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's makin' me feel afraid

I send you all my money

I shall be released

I shook his hand and said goodbye

I shot my Albert dead

I should have known better than to get mixed up with her

I should have known better, baby, I should have called your bluff

I should have left this town this morning

I skipped the ground and hopped a train

I sleep in the kitchen with my feet in the hall

I soon get some rest

I spied an old hobo, in a doorway he lay

I spied my little bundle of joy

I spied my true love comin' my way

I spied the fairest damsel

I spoke like a child; you destroyed me with a smile

I spotted a horse and a donkey, too

I stand before you all

I started out on burgundy

I step outside back to the busy street, but nobody's going anywhere

I stepped forth from the shadows, to the marketplace

I still believe she was my twin, but I lost the ring

I still can remember the way that you smiled

I still can't believe that you have set aside your love for me

I still can't remember all the best things she said

I still might strike it lucky on a highway goin' west

I still wish to kiss

I stole away and cried

I stood alone upon the ridge and all I did was watch

I stood a-wondering which way to go

I stood in the dirt where ev'ryone walked

I stood there and hummed

I stood unwound beneath the skies

I stumbled to my feet

I swear I ain't gonna kill nobody's kids

I swear I'm not too young

I swear it hurt me more than it could ever have hurted her

I swear it's bound to get me killed

I swear she's the screaming end

I swung on to my old guitar

I take good care

I take what I get until I even the score

I tapped on her drum and asked her how come

I tell myself I could be happy forever with her

I tell myself something's comin'

I tell them, ''Mother took a trip''

I tell you something, tell you the facts

I think Abraham Lincoln said that

I think it will fit me like a glove

I think maybe we'd better leave each other alone

I think of her often and hope whoever she's met

I think that it's best

I think the rain has stopped

I think this time we shall escape

I think to myself I might not take it any more

I think we better talk this over

I think we did this once before

I think we oughta take some o' these people

I think what I need might be a full length leather coat

I think you heard me right,''

I think you will find

I think you'd better heed her warning

I thought I heard a stranger say

I thought it might be up to me

I thought it would rain but the clouds passed by

I thought some of 'm were friends of mine; I was wrong about 'm all

I thought somehow that I would be spared this fate

I thought that he was righteous but he's vain

I thought that it was well understood

I threw it all away

I told her I didn't really care

I told her with my voice

I told them I was the editor

I told you, baby, right to your head

I took a chance, got caught in the trance

I took a deep breath

I took her by the hand and my heart it was thumpin'

I took my potatoes

I took too much for granted, got my signals crossed

I traveled through East Texas

I treated her like a fool

I tried my best to smile

I tried to be friendly, I tried to be kind

I tried to be loving and treat you kind

I tried to find a job o'work

I tried to flag a ride

I tried to get you to love me, but I won't repeat that mistake

I tried to help her but she knows I'm not blind

I tried to love and protect you because I cared

I tried to reach you honey

I trusted you, baby, you can trust me now

I try to tell it like it is

I turned around the corner

I turned my head up high

I used to be among the crowd

I used to care, but things have changed

I waited for you on the running boards, near the cypress trees, while the springtime turned

I waited in the hallway, she went to get it

I waited years sometimes for what I wanted

I walk across the bridge in the dismal light

I walked and talked all by myself

I walked by a Guernsey cow

I walked down by the river

I walked down the courthouse stairs

I walked down the hallway

I walked down there and ended up

I walked on a log

I wanna be with you in paradise

I wanna be your lover, baby, I wanna be your man

I wanna be your lover, baby

I want ev'rybody to be free

I want him to feel what it's like to every moment face his death

I want some real good woman to do just what I say

I want to be with you any way I can

I want to be with you, gal

I want to thank You, Lord

I want you so bad,

I want you so bad

I want you, I want you

I was all right 'til I fell in love with you

I was a-scared to knock

I was a-scared to move

I was blinded by the devil

I was bold, I was looking good

I was born here and I'll die here against my will

I was burned out from exhaustion, buried in the hail

I was condemned to sail

I was crossin' the street when shots rang out

I was down in the sewer with some little lover

I was dreaming I was sleeping in Rosie's bed

I was feelin' kinda lonesome and blue

I was feelin' kinda low down

I was goin' to confiscate your lace

I was going down for the last time

I was hungry and it was your world

I was in a whirlwind, now I'm in some better place

I was in for a picnic surprise

I was in your presence for an hour or so

I was judged by you a murderer

I was just about ready

I was just a-runnin'

I was just too stubborn to ever be governed by enforced insanity

I was knocked out and loaded in the naked night

I was layin' in bed

I was lyin' down in the reeds without any oxygen

I was mighty, mighty tired

I was on the battleground, you were home . . . acting proud

I was only following instructions when the judge sent me down the road

I was passing by yon cool crystal fountain

I was playing a show in Miami in the theater of divine comedy

I was raised in the country, I been workin' in the town

I was ready to leave, I was already walkin'

I was riding in a buggy with Miss Mary-Jane

I was riding on the Mayflower

I was ripping it to shreds

I was shadow-boxing earlier in the day

I was sittin' home alone one night in L.A.

I was sittin' on a stump

I was sleepin' like a rat

I was so mistaken when I thought that she'd be true

I was standin' at the side road

I was standin' on the steps

I was their only son

I was thinkin' about diamonds and the world's biggest necklace

I was thinkin' about Isis, how she thought I was so reckless

I was thinkin' about the things that Rosie said

I was thinkin' about turquoise, I was thinkin' about gold

I was thinkin' 'bout Alicia Keys, couldn't keep from crying

I was thinking of a series of dreams

I was walking down the track

I wasn't born to lose you

I watch them 'til they're gone and they leave me hanging on

I watch upon your scorpion

I watched them from the distance

I went back and knocked

I went back home, put on my tie

I went back in the house and Mama met me

I went back to see the gypsy

I went down in my praying ground, fell on my bended knees

I went down to scrub and rub

I went down to the corner at a-half past ten

I went down to the lobby

I went down to the river on a Saturday morn

I went down where the vultures feed

I went into a restaurant

I went into the city, went into the town

I went into the red, went into the black

I went out on Lower Broadway and I felt that place within

I went out the other door

I went to church on Sunday and she passed by

I went to get some help

I went to tell everybody

I went to the church house, every day I go an extra mile

I went to the doctor the very next day

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou

I went up and yelled to him

I went, but she had a friend

I will die upon the gallows pole

I will follow your casket

I will forever be

I will never deny it

I will not go down under the ground

I will only let you down

I will send what I learn back home to you

I will sing it loud and sing it strong

I will tell you of the laughter and of troubles

I will travel unnoticed and unknown

I will turn my head up high

I will wear new boots and an earring of gold

I will write you a letter from time to time

I wish I had a dollar for everyone that died within that year

I wish I knew what it was keeps me loving you so

I wish I was a magician

I wish I'd have been a doctor

I wish my mother was still alive

I wish she'd tell me what it is, I'll run an' hide

I wish she'd unlock

I wish someone would come

I wish that for just one time

I wish the night were here

I wish to God that it were night

I wish, I wish, I wish in vain

I woke in the mornin', wand'rin'

I woke up on the roadside, daydreamin' 'bout the way things sometimes are

I woke up this mornin'

I woke up this morning, butter and eggs in my bed

I woke up this morning, I think I must be traveling on

I wonder if my good gal

I wonder if she knows I'm here

I wonder if she said a prayer

I wonder who they're ringing for

I won't be back 'til fall

I won't come here no more if it bothers you

I won't have my nature this way

I won't let you down

I won't throw it up in anybody's face

I won't underestimate you

I won't, but then again, maybe I might

I worked on the levee, Mama, both night and day

I would be crazy if I took you back

I would have gone on after you but I didn't feel like letting my head get blown off

I would set him in chains at the top of the hill

I would want again tomorrow

I would wave a wand and tie back the bond

I wouldn't be ashamed to be seen with you anywhere

I wouldn't betray your love or any other thing

I wouldn't change it if I could

I wouldn't know her if I saw her

I wouldn't let him do it for all the farms in Cuba

I wouldn't marry the president, Uh-huh

I wouldn't pay it any mind, it's just a shadow you're

I wouldn't worry 'bout it none, though

I would've followed you in the door but I didn't have a ticket stub

I would've got deeper, but there wasn't any need

I wound up with the Dean of Women

I wrote this letter before leaving the hotel

I wus lookin' high an' low for them Reds everywhere

I wus lookin' in the sink an' underneath the chair

I yelled for Captain Arab

Icicles hanging down

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your mouth

Idiot wind, blowing every time you move your teeth

Idiot wind, blowing like a circle around my skull

Idiot wind, blowing through the buttons of our coats

Idiot wind, blowing through the dust upon our shelves

Idiot wind, blowing through the flowers on your tomb

If a call comes from Louisiana

If another war starts

If anything is goin' to sell

If dogs run free, then what must be

If dogs run free, then why not we

If dogs run free, why not me

If dogs run free

If everything is as hollow as it seems

If fire them we're forced to

If God's on our side

If he don't expect to be

If he expects to live off

If he needs a third eye he just grows it

If he wanted to dance, he had a face like a mask

If her hair was still red

If I can come up at all

If I can't come in here, baby, then just let me sit down in your door

If I can't find my baby, I'm gonna run away and hide

If I can't have you

If I can't help somebody

If I can't show somebody

If I carry it out it'll bring a good price.''

If I catch my opponents ever sleeping

If I clean up, sweet momma, can I stay all night with you?

If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born

If I didn't have t' guess

If I didn't leave you I would have to kill you dead

If I don't do anybody any harm, I might make it back home alive

If I don't get out the door

if I don't see you again, that the thing is, that the sign

If I don't take the chance to try

If I ever became what you wanted me to be

If I ever lose her I will go insane

If I ever saw you coming I don't know what I would do

If I fall along the way

If I got anything you need, babe

If I had a conscience, well I just might blow my top

If I had rubies and riches and crowns

If I had some education

If I had wings and I could fly

If I hang around with you

If I have to beg, steal or borrow

If I just didn't feel so all alone

If I just didn't have to try so hard

If I just turned away, when I see how you're dressed

If I kept you from anything

If I knew for sure that it was yours . .

If I only could hang on and just be her friend

If I registered to vote

If I ride back again

If I say I'm not loving you for what you are

If I see and don't say, if I look right through you

If I shut myself off so I can't hear you cry

If I turn a deaf ear to the thunderin' sky

If I walk too much farther

If I was a master thief

If I was still the same

If I was with 'er too long

If I wasn't put away

If I'd lived my life by what others were thinkin', the heart inside me would've died

If I'd thought about it I never would've done it, I guess I would've let it slide

If I'm a fool you can have the night, you can have the morning too

If I'm not too far off

If I'm still among the living, I'll be Dixie bound

If I'm there in the morning, baby, you'll know I've survived

If it begins to worry you

If it bothers you so much.''

If it doesn't feel right

If it keep on rainin', the levee gonna break

If it rolls and flows all down her breast

If it's information you want you can go get it from the police

If it's really that expensive kind

If it's you my lifelines trace

If I've had every chance and yet still fail to see

If my hands tied must I not wonder within

If none but Jack the sailor would ever suit your mind

If she ain't feelin' well

If she broke my heart a single time

If she knows I'm here, Lawd

If she was ever with me

If she's passin' back this way, I'm not that hard to find

If that was you in the dream that was screaming

If the bible is right, the world will explode

If the clouds don't drop and the train don't stop

If the Russians happen to get up there first

If the wind's got you sideways with with one hand holdin' on

If the wine don't come to the top of yer cup

If there's a poor boy on the street

If there's anyone that knows

If this is love then gimme more

If today was not an endless highway

If tomorrow wasn't such a long time

If tonight was not a crooked trail

If we can't deal with this by ourselves

If we want to compete abroad

If you can read my mind, why must I speak?

If you can't do the time, don't do the crime

If you can't lend your hand

If you can't speak out against this kind of thing, a crime that's so unjust

If you didn't want to be with me, just to leave?

If you do, you'll be flogged in the morning

If you don't believe there's a price for this sweet paradise, remind me to show you the scars

If you don't know by now

If you don't like it you can leave me alone
