Lyrics

little eddie (words and music by roth d?lux)
little eddie was born in a motel room in a broken down part of town * and his mother lay down beside him by the light of the moon and told him things will surely turn around * i give my promise to you that our life will be good * cause I met this guy who says he?s from hollywood * no more scraping by * ooh she hasn?t seen that yet * ooh you take what you can get * little eddie grew up living on top of a butcher shop down 7th street * and his mother was fed up with dead-end jobs and jerks whose promises they?d never keep * i know i told you baby that our life would be good * i?d give you everything if only i could * but i?m scraping by * ooh she hasn?t seen that yet * ooh you take what you can get * as eddie rode on that subway like he did everyday * you know his heart?s filled with dreams of a million things * so many walks through the park * so many stories after dark * he never wanted for anything * anything that money could not buy * that night he told his lover things would be all right * cause his mama taught him how to give without scraping by * ooh she hasn?t seen that yet * ooh you gotta take what you get
