Lust - Willis Earl Beal

I am sitting here on this stool

Talkin' right to you

Whoever that is

I am sitting here and have been since

3:11 this morning

Yes, I have

I had to make myself some tea

'Cause I just could not sleep

Starin' at the cat

You know my soul, He did keep

Lust, it got me again

Lust, it got me again

Oh, it did, yes, it did

Those girls on those movie screens

I imagine how they laugh

Smilin' at me

Tryin' to make me feel

Just like I was a disgrace

Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?

Why don’t you leave me alone?

Leave me alone

Keep me awake at night

Don’t pull me back to sleep

Make me feel like I’m alright

Make me feel like a

It’s been a long, long while

It’s been a very long time, oh, oh

Ever since I was a kid

I could not keep my eyes awake from the boredom

But everything I saw let me know

That I was screwed up and mixed up and confused

I began to feel so violent

And, lurking real strong but silent

I felt just like a fool

Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?

Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?

Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?

Let me go to sleep

Oh, lust, why don’t you leave me alone?

Let me go to sleep
