Dock of the Bay/The Soul Album

I want to tell you a story
Every man ought to know
If you want a little loving
You got to start real slow
She's going to love you tonight now
If you just treat her right now

Squeeze her real gentle
Got to make her feel good
Tell her that you love her
Like you know you should
So if you don't treat her right
She won't love you tonight

If you practice my method
Just as hard as you can
You're going to get a reputation
As a loving man
And you'll be glad every night
That you treated her right

It's early in the morning
About a quarter till three
I'm sittin' here talkin' with my baby
Over cigarettes and coffee, now
And to tell you that
Darling I've been so satisfied
Honey since I met you
Baby since I met you, ooh

All the places that I've been around
And all the good looking girls I've met
They just don't seem to fit in
Knowing this particularly sad, yeah

But it seemed so natural, darling
That you and I are here
Just talking over cigarettes and drinking coffee, ooh now

And whole my heart cries out
Love at last I've found you, ooh now
And honey won't you let me
Just be my whole life around you
And while I complete, I complete my whole life would be, yeah
If you would take things under consideration
And walk down this hour with me
And I would love it, yeah

People I say it's so early in the morning
Oh, it's a quarter till three
We're sittin' here talkin'
Over cigarettes and drinking coffee, now, lord
And I'll like to show you, well
I've known nothing but good old joy
Since I met you, darling
Honey since I've met you, baby yeah

I would love to have another drink of coffee, now
And please, darling, help me smoke this one more cigarette, now
I don't want no cream and sugar
Cause I've got you, now darling
But just let me enjoy
Help me to enjoy
This good time that we'll have, baby
It's so early, so early in the morning
So early, so early in the morning
And I've got you
And you've got me
And we'll have each other
And we don't, we don't want nothing but joy, y'all
Nothing but joy

I've been missing you for so many days
I keep wanting you (lord} in so many ways
I can't get you off of my mind
But true love is so hard to find

I want yet another day
Ooh I need another day
Darling, let me have another more day
And I can be anything that you want me to be, now

The sweet things you used to do to me
Sometimes you used to say them to me
I can't forget those lovely days
But this is the price I am about to pay

Ooh I want another day
You can let me have just one more day
Ooh I need one more day
And I will do anything that you want me to to

I will do anything that you want me to do, now
Say anything that you want me to say
Buy you anything you want me to buy
And I can cherish you till the day I die

If you let me have another day
Please let me have one more day
Ooh I want just one more day (lord}
And it can be anything that you want it to be

Ooh no,
Ooh
Just one more day now
You can let me have just another day, now
Please I want to stay And the day after and after
And I want all the days
And I want all the days
And I want you here by my side
And I don't want you do leave me
And You can let me have one more day
And I can love you long for the rest of my life I can cry, cry, cry

Please,Let me have just one more day
Just another day
Let me have all my days
Let me have Let me have all the days I gotta,
I Gotta I gotta have just all the days

Please, let me sit down beside you.
I've got something to tell you, you should know.
I just couldn't wait for not another day.
I love you, for more than words can ever say.
Honey living without you is so painful.
I was tempted to call it a day.
You've got me in your hand, why can't you understand.
I love you baby, for more than words can say.
I just can't sleep, when I lay down in my bed.
The thoughts of you babe, just linger in my head.
Living without you is so painful. I was tempted to call it a day.
You've got me in your hand, why can't you understand.
I love you honey, for more than words can say.
I love you honey, for more than words can say.
Yes, I do.

I don't do the things that you do
And I don't go the places that you go
And I don't say the bad things that you say

But I love you any ole way, darling
I love you any ole way, now
I love you any ole way
But I want you to say that it's true

Wherever you go darling I will go
When you get there honey I will be there
Just to hear the sweet words that you say
It's I love you every way, now
I love you any ole way, now, now
I love you every way
And I want you to say that it's true

Sitting on my hutch
Waiting for her to come
So I can hold her
Here in my arms
Watching my watch
As the time pass
Wandering how long my love is going to last, now

Baby one more time
You're making me feel all right, oh, oh now

Wherever you go darling I will go
Whenever you get there I bet I will be there
Just to hear the sweet words that you'll say

Is I love you every way, now, now
I love you any ole way, now
I love you every way, now, now
And I love you any ole way, now
And I love you any ole way, now

I'm just wanting you just more every day, now
I'm just wanting you more and more every day
And I'm just needing you and needing and needing you, ooh
And I'm just wanting and wanting and wanting you more

You've got to give a little, take a little,
And let your poor heart break a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little,
Until the clouds roll by a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.

As long as there's the two of us,
We've got the world and all it's charms.
And when the world is through with us,
We've got each other's arms.

You've got to win a little, lose a little,
Yes, and always have the blues a little.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
That's the story of, that's the glory of love.
