OTIS REDDING
01-SITTING ON THE DOCK OF BAY – Sol M
Otis Redding
Sittin' in the mornin' sun
i'll be sittin' when the evenin' come
watching the ships roll in
and then i watch 'em roll away again, yeah
i'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
watching the tide roll away
ooo, i'm just sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
I left my home in Georgia
headed for the 'Frisco bay
'cause i've had nothing to live for
and look like nothin's gonna come my way
so i'm just gonna sit on the dock of the bay
watching the tide
roll away
ooo, i'm sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
Look like nothing's gonna change
everything still remains the same
i can't do what ten people tell me to do
so i guess i'll remain the same, yes
Sittin' here resting my bones
and this loneliness won't leave me alone
it's two thousand miles i roamed
just to make this dock my home
now, i'm just gonna sit at the dock of the bay
watching the tide
roll away
oooo-wee, sittin' on the dock of the bay
wastin' time
(whistle)
02-KNOCK ON WOOD – La M
Otis Redding
I don't want to lose
this good thing
that i've got.
if i do,
i would surely,
surely lose a lot,
'cause your love
is better
than any love i know.
it's like thunder,
lightning,
the way you love me is frightening.
think i'd better knock
on wood, baby.
i'm not superstitious
about you,
i can't take no chance.
you got me spinning,
baby.
baby, i'm in a trance,
'cause your love
is better
than any love i know.
it's like thunder,
lightning,
the way you love me is frightening.
think i'd better knock
on wood, baby.
Ain't no secret,
that woman
is my loving cup.
she sees
to it
that i get it up.
just one touch from her,
you know can do so much.
Chorus
Think i better knock, knock, knock on wood.
think i better knock, knock, knock on wood.
03-I'VE LOVING YOU TOO LONG - La M
Otis Redding
I've been loving you
too long to stop now
There were time
and you want to be free
My love is growing stronger,
as you become a habit to me
Oh I've been loving you
a little too long
I dont wanna stop now, oh
With you my life,
Has been so wonderful
I can't stop now
There were times
and your love is growing cold
My love is growing stronger
as our affair [affair] grows old
I've been loving you
a little too long, long,
I don't want to stop now
oh, oh, oh
(+ 1 tone)
I've been loving you
a little bit too long
I don't wanna stop now
No, no, no
Don't make me stop now
No baby I'm down on my knees
Please, don't make me stop now
I love you, I love you,
I love you with all of my heart
And I can't stop now
Don't make me stop now
Please, please don't make me stop now
Good god almighty I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you
I love you in so many different ways...
I love you in so many different ways....
