DESPERATE WAYS
WORDS: HANK “HOLY ROLLER” RAY
EDITION JUMAR MUSIC, 1986
There’s something in your mind…there’s something in your heart
There’s something in your ways…that tore my world apart
The day you gone and left me without a word of bye-bye
You knew you’d leave a broken heart with lots of tears to cry
Your desperate ways have dragged me down…down…down
Your desperate ways have dragged me down…down…down
So way down low…
Well, I’ve drowned my tears and sorrows in rivers of whisky and gin
I got to stay down on bended knee ‘til I’ll start all over again
Well, that’ll be the day when I’ll get over you
When I’ll find myself a brand new love to burn away my blue
Your desperate ways have dragged me down…down…down
Your desperate ways have dragged me down…down…down
So way down low…
Maybe I got to keep on crying until the final day
But once my tears run dry I might erase your memory
And one sweet day when you’ll want me to come back to you
Then I’m the one to say these words, ‘baby, we are through’
No desperate ways for me no more…no more
No desperate ways for me no more…no more…no more, honey, no more
Now that I keep recalling the things you’ve done to me
I was a fool but now I’m happy because at last I’m free
So go and find another man to listen to your lies
Can’t help the smile upon my face because you waved bye-bye
No desperate ways for me no more…no more
No desperate ways for me no more…no more…
no more, no more,no more, no more, never , baby…
Because you stole away my heart…you stole away my soul
You stole away everything I got and left a big black hole
The day you gone and left me without a word of bye-bye
You knew you’d leave a broken heart with lots of tears to cry
No desperate ways for me no more…
No desperate ways for me no more…no more…no more, no more, never, baby, never more…….
