if i didn't know better
-
the civil wars efsanelerinden sadece biri. sözleri de şu şekil;
if i didn't know better i'd hang my hat right there
if i didn't know better i'd follow you up the stairs
stop saying those sweet things you know i like to hear
the horns are blowing louder and they're destroying me
why do i keep drinking
wasting my time on you
if i didn't know better
well damnit
i do
there's a hole in what you're saying
i can plainly see
you have a lover that's waiting but baby you're right here with me
ooh
you might as well be the devil
oh
keeping me out past three
oh
you're the one with that apple so baby you can't blame me
why don't you keep drinking
get me one night with you
if i didn't know better
well damnit
i do
you know that i do
oh
baby you're right here with me
oh
baby you know -
luther vandross'un ölmeden önce yayımlanan son stüdyo albümü dance with my father'ın nefis açılış şarkısı. rahatlıkla "r&b nedir?" diye meraklanan birilerine "ahan da budur." diye dinletilebilir. sevilen kişi tarafından kardeş gibi görülme duygusunun bünyedeki etkisini anlatır. en sevdiğim kısmı "my idea of a friend is when you..." biçiminde başlayan, son nakarattan önceki kısımdır. gece gece "tabii ya! ben neden bunu böyle söze dökemiyorum?!!" dedirtmiştir.
sözleri de şöyle ki:
i think sometimes i can read your mind
when you make things up i can tell you lie
i see the things that your man can’t see
and i wonder what kind of man is he
the one who you say is your lover
who you insist takes care of you under the covers
and who is there for you and loves you like no other
then you kiss and tell me that you love me like a brother
if i didn’t know better
i’d think that you were mine, you’re with me all the time
if i didn’t know better
i’d swear we’re more than friends, you’re touching me again
if i didn’t know better
i’d think we were in love
girl, do you wanna tell me something?
oh, oh, oh
i could be wrong about the things you say
but i don’t rub up on my friends that way
you tell me that you’ve always been a flirt
but if it goes wrong, i could get hurt
but no, you insist it’s harmless playin’
it’s just a part of who you are, that it’s just your nature
and that it’s fine
you know i’m a friend, it’s really nothing
you say that i’m just like a…
that i’m just like a brother
if i didn’t know better
i’d think that you were mine, you’re with me all the time
if i didn’t know better
i’d swear we’re more than friends, you’re touching me again
if i didn’t know better
i’d think we were in love
girl, do you wanna tell me something?
oh, oh, oh
my idea of a friend is when you
do a lotta things together and have a lotta fun
but my definition of love is different
you touch and hold each other
and you only want to be alone clinging to each other
like you and he should be, but like you and i are
well, i know it sounds crazy but…
if i didn’t know better
i’d think that you were mine, you’re with me all the time
if i didn’t know better
i’d swear we’re more than friends, you’re touching me again
if i didn’t know better
i’d think we were in love
girl, do you wanna tell me something?
oh, oh, oh -
nashville'deki versiyonuna bayıldığım, şu ara rüyamda bile çalan şarkı. kulaklarıımı takıp güneşin battığı yöne doğru yürümek istiyorum bu şarkıyla.
daha iyisini bilmeseydim..
