A Lover Was Born Lyrics

When Mom & Papa first laid eyes on me right from the start They knew right away a lover was born, I'd be breakin' lovers' hearts (Breakin' lovers' hearts) Now at an early age, yeah, I began to show sign That a stone-cold lover was born, now I'm gonna let it shine, yeah (I'm gonna let it shine, yeah) Girl if I can't love you A reel can make gumbo, a drunken man don't stumble A seein'-eye dog can learn to lead the blind A bee don't delay honey, the Beatles ain't got no money The water man's gone to pay a fine One day my papa told me son, "Sit down, I gotta talk to you" Said: Don't believe I can't understand; I've been through the same thing too Said you think you're pretty hot stuff & you dig every girl you see But listen, son, settle for one, it'll save a lotta misery In the long run, I don't get a sunnin' There ain't no corpse in the dawn, there ain't no birds in a home & you can get bright from the town if you squeeze & squeeze Tears don't go with the blues, chick can wear high-heeled shoes Old Man Battle's lawn didn't have no trees I'm gonna take my papa's advice, though it's gonna be hard to do I'm gonna stop tryin' to prove a point; I'm gonna give myself to you Girl if I fear you Ain't no leaps in a frog, ain't no bumps on a log & you can get bright from the town if you squeeze & squeeze An old cow don't give milk & eggs don't got no yolk & I'd pull side of pole right out of tree, yeah
