about

A Memphis soul hit from the ‘60s that someone forgot to write ’till now.

lyrics

SKIPPING STONE

I’m not gonna read your letter, no I don’t care what it said
How can I hear your words when your sleeping in another’s bed?
If you don’t want your woman, and if you play around instead
Ain’t nobody to blame when this woman done kills you dead

I really won’t
I won’t stop
I will not
Give up
I want you

My heart’s got a rhythm and it flutters like a skipping stone
Today’s precious lover is tomorrow’s tasty bourguignon

I gave you all my good deeds, and I followed where ‘er you led
I gave you everything you needed, now you’re kneading someone else’s bread
I let you run off each night cause I didn’t want to be your chain
Now you’re gonna get the bullet and I get the midnight train

I really won’t
I won’t stop
I will not
Give up
I want you

My heart’s got a rhythm and it flutters like a skipping stone
Today’s precious lover is tomorrow’s tasty bourguignon

So if you don’t want your woman, if you play around instead
Ain’t nobody to blame when this woman done kills you dead
Everybody heed my warning, somebody’s hands will be stained
If you’re sneaking out on your woman, while sleeping in the bed she’s made

I really won’t
I won’t stop
I will not
Give up
I want you
