Standing on Shaky Ground Songtext
von Bobby Rush

Oh darling, I′m on shaky grounds
See I know any day, you gonna put me down
Last night, when you went to bed
You turned your back and covered your head
That's what makes me know, I′m on shaky ground
Oh yeah, I'm on shaky ground

Oh darling, I know it won't be long
When I look around baby, I know you′ll be gone
I can tell when we′re by ourself
Your body with me, girl, but your mind is somewhere else
That's what make me know, I′m on shaky ground
Oh yeah, standing on shaky ground

Oh darling, I know you're making plans
I can feel the presence of some other man
Last night, you were talking in your sleep
My name is Bobby Rush but you were calling me Pete
That′s what make me know, I'm on shaky ground
Oh yeah, I′m on shaky ground


Oh darling, I see it all over your face
I can feel the presence
Someone has taken my place
Girl, I can see it all over you
Somebody else got control of you
That's what make me know, I'm on shaky ground
Oh yeah, I′m on shaky ground
Shaky ground, uh-uh
I′m on shaky ground

I'm standing, oh, yeah, on shaky ground
I feel the presence of another man
Every time, girl, I hold your hand
Your body′s here with me, oh, no
But your mind is somewhere else, oh, yeah
That's why I′m standing on shaky ground

I'm living on borrowed time, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh-uh
(Living on borrowed time) any day now, you′ll gone and leave me all alone, all alone
That why I said (living), I'm living (on borrowed time)
My ground is shaking, hey oh, shaking (living on borrowed time)
My ground is shaking, shaking, shaking (living on borrowed time)
Any day now, you'll gone (living on borrowed time)
You will be gone in the morning
Bye-bye baby
