Song Description
I wanted this song to remind the listener of the old R&B bands of the 60s and 70s. There's nothing like a good, tight bar band blowin' killer dance tunes late into the night. This version has a bit more of the "live" feel I was going for.

Lyrics
I was always the one standin all alone
Now I'm waitin all night for you to answer the phone
The day I saw you changed everything
If there's a country called lonely, baby, I'm the king
If it cost to be a fool I'd pay a double fee
Feelin like a big ol bag of mixed up me
I was sure of myself and ready to fall
So you took me out back and pinned my ears to the wall
When I caught my breath you were miles away
I don't want you tomorrow I need you today
Burnin like a fire in a hollow tree
Feelin like a big ol bag of mixed up me
BRIDGE:
If I'd known it would be like this
I'd never stray too far from your kiss
It's true
Yes it's true
If I'd known how low down can get
I'd never have left your lovin' yet
I'd stay right here and be the one
You're lookin for to get your hard work done
If I ever find a way to get back to you
I'll do all the little things I never used to do
Like rub your back when you're feelin bad
And makin you happy when you're feelin sad
I'm as much in love as a man can be
Feelin' like a big 'ol bag of mixed up me
