Who's that woman on your arm
All dressed up to do you harm?
And I'm hip to what she'll do
Give her just about a month or two
Bit off more than I can chew
And I knew, yeah I knew what it was leading
to
Some things, well, I can't refuse
One of them, one of them the bedroom blues
She delivers right on time
I can't resist a corny line
But take the shine right off you shoes - yeah,
right off your shoes
Carrying, carrying the bedroom blues
Oh yeah, in the bar you're getting drunk, oh
yeah
I ain't in love, I ain't in luck, oh no, no,
no
Hide the switch and shut the light - won't
you shut it?
Yeah, let it all come down tonight, let it
all come down (Let it loose, let it
all come down)
Maybe your friends think I'm just a stranger
Your face you'll never see no more
Oh no, no, no
No, let it all come down tonight - won't you
let it?
Yeah, keep your tears hid out of sight
Yeah, let it loose...
Let it loose, let it all come down
TrackTalk
What (Mick) wanted was this funk feeling, this real honest church feel. He had an appreciation for black music, and he said it openly, so that was out of the way. We knew he had this affinity for the blues and where it came from. Wilson Pickett came clearly out of a church, out of a black experience. Mick came out of a respect for black experience, or black music. The greatness comes out of the spirit.
