Big 'Ol Game (Colour Me Free 2009)

Текст песни Joss Stone and Raphael Saadiq - Big 'Ol Game (Colour Me Free 2009)

[Intro: Joss Stone]
Hmm

[Verse 1: Joss Stone]
Summertime (Uh)
And Wendy
I ain't seen for a while
Since she's been workin'
Tryin' to catch her own style
With that, I got her back
My kettle's always boilin'
Snow is fallin', hmm
And it's truly freezy
Danny ain't been callin'
He's got a family
But outside my door still says
"Welcome" on the floor

[Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists, All, Raphael Saadiq]
(Uh-uh)
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me "baby" (Baby)
Make me your baby girl
Baby (Baby)
Uh
'Cause
Baby
One day someone will snatch me for their lady, yeah
Uh-huh-uh, yeah
[Verse 2]
The buds in their blooms now (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
But no letters come from Lucy
She's deep in a book (Ooh)
Trying to bring down the crooks (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
But she's on my mind profusely
My sister Lucy
The birds and the bees, yeah (Ooh-eh-ooh)
Hmm, they do their thing in trees
While we're hustlin' (Ooh)
Bustlin'
Playing the game of life
We're lookin' (Ooh) in a dark cloud (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
For the answer to the questions why (Why)

[Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists, All, Raphael Saadiq]
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me "baby" (Baby)
Make me your baby girl
Baby (Baby)
Baby
Maybe one day someone will snatch me for their lady
Uh-huh-uh, yeah
Watch me now
I could never be your number two, yeah
'Cause when you're not there
When you're not there
I'm sure someone is
Sure someone's loving you
And I can't have it (Have it)
Oh, I won't have it now (I won't have it)
'Cause one day someone will snatch me for their lady, uh, uh
Uh-huh-uh, yeah
[Bridge: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists]
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
You know, sometimes
See, I find myself confused
Ooh, it's always
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
"Why this?" and uh-uh, "why that?"
Mm, uh
See, have you ever heard the saying
(Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
"It's just a game"?
Well, then one more why
(Uh-huh-uh, yeah)
Why can't I stop playing?
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Chorus: Joss Stone, Backing Vocalists, All, Raphael Saadiq]
Life is just a big ol' game to me
I'd like to be number one on your team
Call me "baby" (Baby)
Baby (Baby)
Baby
Ooh-oh-oh
Uh-huh-uh, yeah
'Cause I could never
I could never be you number two, yeah
'Cause when I'm not there
I'm sure someone's loving you
Someone's loving you
And I can't have it have it
And I can't have it, no
(Have it)
I won't have it
And I won't have it, no, no
(I won't have it)
Uh-huh-uh, uh
Oh, oh, no, oh
Uh-huh-uh, yeah
Oh-ho-oh-oh
Life is just a big ol' game to me
It's a big ol' game, yeah, yeah
I'd like to be number one on your team
Uh, the one on your team
Call me "baby" (Baby)
Baby (Baby)
Baby
Uh-huh-uh
Uh-huh-uh-huh-uh
Uh-uh uh, yeah
Uh-huh-uh
Uh
[Outro: Joss Stone]
I could never be your
Your number two
'Cause someone else
Will come and start loving you
Hmm
And I can't have it
I told you I won't have it now
Oh, life is just a big ol' game to me
Mm-hmm-mm
Hmm
