Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were lucky?
We were livin' the life almost every night
I would wrap you in my thin white arms
Sit and watch the stars glide
Yeah, do you remember when we were the losers?
Do you remember when we were the lame?
Do you remember when we were the lepers?
Do you remember? Do you remember?
Do you remember when we were strung out?
Eatin' top ramen, macaroni and cheese
We would get so lost in that basement room
Let the Otis Redding sing us to sleep
I wish I had one more life
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I dont wanna be blind
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
I wish I could be like all my heroes
I wish I could be like all yours too
I wish I could sing like Otis Redding
I wish I could play this guitar in tune
Do you remember when we were hungry?
Do you remember when we were cold?
Do you remember when we were happy in a way
No one outside could ever know?
I wish I had one more life
How I wish I had one more life to live
I don't wanna be wasted
I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I don't wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be (blind)
I don't wanna be wasted
No, I don't wanna live inside of this daydream anymore
I just wanna be happy again
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be
I dont wanna be wasted, I don't wanna be blind
No, I don't want to be blind

The sun is gone away
It is dark in the day
No kids are laughing
And none are playing
No flowers have grown
Since the month of May
That's how it's been
Since you've gone again
One you left without a reason
Two without a pleasing
Three with a terrible pain
Four you're gone again
Picture a winter
Without any snow
Look up at the sky
There's no star that glow
Picture a river
With nowhere to flow
That's how it's been, honey
Since you've gone again
One without a reason
Two without a pleasing
Three with a terrible pain
Four you're gone again
I walked in the forest
Didn't see no trees
Go to sleep at night
With a cold wind of breeze
I ain't got no friends
I got cold enemies
That's how it's been
Honey, since you've gone again
Gone, gone again, gone, gone again
Gone mama, gone again, yes, you are
Where can I find you? I need you, darling
Where can I get to you? I want you, mama baby
I love you, darling, I need you, oh gone again

Tramp!
What you call me?
Tramp.
You didn't!
You don't wear continental clothes, or Stetson hats.
Well I tell you one dog-gone thing. It makes me feel good to know one thing. I know I'm a lover.
Matter of opinion.
That's all right, Mama was. Papa too. And I'm the only child. Lovin' is all I know to do.
You know what, Otis?
What?
You're country.
That's all right.
You straight from the Georgia woods.
That's good.
You know what? You wear overalls, and big old brogan shoes, and you need a haircut, Tramp.
Haircut? Woman, you foolin'...ooh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Grandmama, Papa too. Boogaloo. All that stuff. And I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun. Tramp!
You know what, Otis? I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What?
That's right. You haven't even got a fat bankroll in your pocket. You probably haven't even got twenty-five cents.
I got six Cadillacs, five Lincolns, four Fords, six Mercuries, three T-Birds, Mustang, ooooooohhh...I'm a lover. Mama was. Papa too. I tell you one thing.
Well tell me.
I'm the only son-of-a-gun this side of the Sun.
You're a tramp, Otis.
No I'm not.
I don't care what you say, you're still a tramp.
What's wrong with that?
Look here. You ain't got no money.
I got everything.
You can't buy me all those minks and sables and all that stuff I want.
I can buy you minks, rats, frogs, squirrels, rabbits, ...anything you want, Woman.
Look, you can go out in the Georgia woods and find them, Baby.
Oh, you foolin'.
You're still a tramp.
That's all right.
You a tramp, Otis. You just a tramp.
That's all right.
You wear overalls. You need a haircut, Baby. Cut off some of that hair off your head. You think you a lover, huh?
Wait!
Before you walk out that door
Hang your clothes in the closet
You're forgetting one thing
I'm the one who saved you
From a long lonely life
I'm the one who gave you
You're first taste to paradise
Look how you payin' me back
Look how you pack in your bag
Please don't do me like this, honey
All this good love you're gonna miss
Think about it, honey
You really ought to think about it
'fore you leave me
Dig this

How to live when you wanted to die
I'm the one who taught you
How to laugh when you wanted to cry
But look what you're doing to me
Look how you're hurting me
Please don't do me like this
All of this good lovin' your gonna miss
Think about it, baby, listen

You really ought to think about it
Deep down think about it

Don't try to kick out love aside

Hi, this is the big O, Otis Redding
I was just standing here thinking about you
Thought I'd write a song about you
And dedicate it to you
Take a listen
If you didn't go back to school this year
your really not groovy
Maybe you feel that school is a drag
it's just don't moving
But did you ever think about how square you look standing
in an employment line because school didn't empty you
You really ought to think about it
Without an education you could only be a tramp
Grow ?grain? shoes, no haircut, just plain ole country
Don't worry 'bout the fellows gonna calling you green
Because your heading no future condition
You really ought to think about it
And further motto than that Otis Redding saved you very wise
Because you'll be at the top
When they get that and if they make it
When they get that and if they make it
When they get that and if they make it
You really ought to think about it
Think about it
Really ought to think about it
When the night has come
And the land is dark
And the moon is the only
Only light we see
No, I won't be afraid
No no no no no no
No, I won't be afraid
Just as long, just as long
Just as long as you stand by me
Now darling, darling
Whenever I'm in trouble
Darling, won't you stand
I need just a little helping hand
Now now now
And darling, darling
Won't you stand by me
It the sky we look upon now now
Should tumble and fall
All of the mountains may crumble
May crumble to the sea
I won't cry, I won't cry
No no no no no, I won't shed no tears
Just as long, just as long
Just as long as you stand by me
Now darling, darling
I said I need somebody right now
I need just a little helping hand
I need someone to come pick me up
And stand by me
Come on, come on, baby, yeah

Taking my friends out
For a mighty good time
Oh we'd drink that good gin
Champagne and wine

And I had no place to go
And if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again

Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Lord have mercy
Yeah, yeah, now listen
Now in your pocket
There's not one penny
And all of them good friends
You found out you haven't got any
Nobody come around
But the landlord and the taxman
Your ex-wife who says
She wants more alimony
Then there's a knock on the door
And it's a woman you don't know
Says she's having your baby
She'll walk on in
But oh just as soon
as the money roll in
Here they all come sayings
That they're you're long lost friends
But if I ever get my hands
On a dollar again

Till the eagle wins
Cause I found out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out
Nobody wants you
When you're down and out

Hi, this is the big O, Otis Redding
I was just standing here thinking about you
Thought I'd write a song about you
And dedicate it to you, take a listen
If you didn't go back to school this year, your really not groovy
Maybe you feel that school is a drag it just don't move you
But did you ever think about how square you look standing
In an employment line because school didn't empty you?
You really ought to think about it
Without an education you could only be a tramp
Grow your iron shoes, no haircut, just plain ole country
Don't worry 'bout the fellows oh, they're gonna calling you green
Because you're heading no future condition
You really ought to think about it
And further motto tell them that
Otis Redding saved you very wise
Because you'll be at the top
When they get that and if they make it
When they get that, if they make it
When they get that, if they make it
You really ought to think about it

artist: Temptations
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
When it's cold outside I've got the month of May.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got so much honey the bees envy me.
I've got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey
Ooooh.
I don't need no money, fortune, or fame.
I've got all the riches baby one man can claim.
I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way?
My girl (my girl, my girl)
Talkin' 'bout my girl (my girl).
I've got sunshine on a cloudy day
with my girl.
I've even got the month of May

I think I better knock, knock, knock
on wood
I think I better knock, knock, knock on wood
Like a snowball rolling down that side
Of that snow covered hill, man it's growing
Like that size of the fish that man claimed
He broke his reel, man it's growing
Like the rosebud, that's bloomin' man
In the warning of the sun, it's growin'
Like a tale by the time it's been told, man
By more then one, it's growing
When every day it grows a little more
Than it was the day before
My love for you, it grows and grows
Hey, hey, hey, how it grows and grows
But when it's going to stop
I feel that nobody knows, man
I said, it grows and grows, man
A little bit stronger
It grows and grows
A little bit more, every day
It keeps on growing
Like the need of a guy to see his girl
When she's gone away, man it's growing
Like the sadness in his heart
When he knows that she's gone to stay, man it's growing
I said, every day it grows and grows
A little bit more
Than it was before
My love for you, it grows and grows, man
Hey, hey, hey, how it grows and grows
My heart is gonna stop, I feel, man
My heart is gonna stop, I feel
That nobody know man
Hey, hey, hey, man
Nobody know how it grows and grows
Nobody knows it grows and grows
Everyday it gets little bit stronger
And every time it gets little bit stronger
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
I've got dreams Dreams to remember
Honey I saw you there last night
Another mans arms holding you tight
Nobody knows what I feeled inside
All I know, I walked away and cried
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
[Listen to me] I've got dreams, rough dreams Dreams to remember
I know you said he was just a friend
But I saw him kiss you again and again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did he hold you so tenderly?
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember
[Listen honey] I've got dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
Dreams to remember

I still don't want you to ever leave

But I saw you kiss him again and again
These eyes of mine, they don't fool me
Why did he hold you so tenderly?
I've got dreams
Dreams to remember

Dreams, bad dreams
Dreams, rough dreams
To remember
Don't make me suffer
