What do you think?
“ONE LONELY HEART”
VERSE 1
I was looking for just a kind word
Faded memories had my mind blurred
Was she real or was she just a ghost?
Drinkin’ champagne, I raise a toast
To the times we had it better baby
To the times we were together baby
It was cool, we shared a few smiles
Frequent fliers, we shared a few miles too
So what you tryna do, and what you tryna see
See I just found you
And you just found me
You remind me of youth, let me drink from your fountain
Take you to your peak, ma, show you to the mountain-top
Of the world, baby that’s where we’re going
And tilt your head back, I’ma keep the drink pourin’
And keep your love flowing
You’re entitled to truth
Your body is electric all you need is the juice
I’ll give it to you
HOOK
One lonely heart
Is all it takes to break a man
Two lonely hearts together can make both love again
VERSE 2
In the church I got my hand raised
Black suit, a pair of Ban Rays
Women cry, a grown man prays
I drop a tear as the band plays
‘Cause that music will make your heart hurt
Monday morning you gotta start work
Future bright, I wear these dark lenses
Hoppin’ in and out of the dark benzes
So what you tryna do, and what you tryna see
See I just found you
And you just found me
You remind me of youth, let me sip from your fountain
Take you to your peak, girl, show you to the mountain-top
Of the world, baby that’s where we’re going
And tilt your head back, I’ma keep the drink pouring
And get your love flowing
You deserve the truth
Your body is electric all you need is the juice
I’ll give it to you
HOOK
One lonely heart
Is all it takes to break a man
Two lonely hearts together can make both love again
VERSE 3
And I wonder will they remember me
When I’m gone, what is my legacy?
Will they come to see me like young Stevie?
God willin’ the black Bob Dylan?
‘Cause I’m rocking ’em out in Frauenfeld
Said I’m rocking ’em out in Frauenfeld (3x)
So what you tryna do, and what you tryna see
See I just found you
And you just found me
You remind me of youth, let me drink from your fountain
Take you to your peak, ma, show you to the mountain-top
Of the world, baby that’s where we’re going
And tilt your head back, I’ma keep the drink pouring
And keep your love flowing
You deserve the truth
Your body is electric all you need is the juice
I got it for you
HOOK
One lonely heart
Is all it takes sometimes to break a man
Two lonely hearts together can make both love again
I’m feelin it, will he be rapping more on the next record???
