Lucille Songtext
von Al Kooper

What am I gonna do?
I cannot live my life like this
I just can′t take it no more
(Take it, take it no more)

Baby, you took my everything
My soul, my life
The birdies that sing flew south for sure
(Flying south for sure)

Tied with such a feeling of rejection
I find myself alone with no direction

Lucille, what a dirty deal you dealt your man, yeah
Lucille, what a dirty deal, I don't understand


Gave you everything I had
You were so bad
I cannot speak the hurt I feel inside
(Feel inside)
Wish that you could see
If you were only me
You′d taste the tears I cried
(Taste the tears I cried)

But what's the sense in talking now, you know it
So why must you just stare at me and show it?

Lucille, what a dirty deal you dealt your man, yeah
Lucille, what a dirty deal, I don't understand

If love is just a game you play, then
Day by day, life will waste away for you
Yes it will, Lucille
Can′t you see how much could be
This room a world of you and me forever

What am I gonna do?
I cannot live my life like this
I just can′t take it no more
(Take it, take it no more)

Baby, you took my everything
My soul, my life
The birdies that sing flew south for sure
(Flying south for sure)

Tied with such a feeling of rejection
I find myself alone with no direction


Lucille, what a dirty deal you dealt your man, yeah
Lucille, what a dirty deal, I don't understand
Lucille, what a dirty deal you dealt your man, yeah
Lucille, what a dirty deal, I don′t understand
