Is You Is or Is you Ain't My Baby
Dr. John
look into the fountain
throw a dime to make a wish
cause I've been climbin up the mountain
of this life that you posses
I'm a veteran of this war
I have not begun to fight
I've not even scratched the surface of the things that I just might
chorus:
and if I fall, down, I'll pick myself up
so I don't hit the ground, now
I am still alive I don't know
how I found a way to take another breath of life
when I've been living with so much regret
show me how to rise from nothing
and make something of your life
god gave me this gift for something
so I will not be contrived
look into my eyes they are witness to my soul
and the pain that makes me interesting is a way of letting go
(chorus)
I can fake rising from ashes
Who've burned brighter than before
I don't really want to crash this
Little party you have thrown
I've been pushed into the corner
I have nothing left to lose
There's a darker side inside me
And it's one you can't abuse
(chorus)
