When the Blues Catch Up to You Songtext
von Bettye LaVette

Moving way too fast
One day, you′ll pay for what you do
You're moving way too fast
One day, you′ll pay for what you do

Tell you, I might not be around
When the blues catch up with you
You're headed for a fall
Unless you find some middle ground, baby!


You're headed for a fall
If you don′t find yourself some middle ground
If you want me to stay here with you, baby
You better slow your motor down
Hey!
Hey-yeah!

Do you have to stoop so low
Just to get another thrill, baby?
Do you have to stoop so low
Just to get yourself another thrill?
Tell you, I ain′t the fool you think I am
Damn, kneel had my fee'

You′re moving way too fast
One day, you're gonna have to pay for what you do
Baby, you′re moving way too fast
One day, you're gonna pay for what you do


Tell you, I might not be around
But the blues sure gon′ catch up with you
Oh-oh, oh-ooh
Oh, whoa
