Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yeah
You know, I still remember
When you used to be just nine years old
Did well in school for you, baby
Cool it on out and let you know
Now, you've grown up
How I wanna let you know
I want you to know
I want you to know
[Verse 2]
You know, you want to make me wanna shout
Come on, baby (Shout)
Come on, now (Shout)
Come on, baby (Shout)
Come on, now (Shout)
That you want me (Shout)
That you need him (Shout)
That you love me (Shout)
And a little bit of (Shout)
Say it again (Shout)
Say it again (Shout)
Say it again (Shout)
[Verse 3]
Yeah, you plain good to me, baby
Even better than I've been to myself
And if you love me
And I don't want no one else
And I want you to know
I want you to know
I want you to know, right now
I want you to know
[Verse 4]
You know, you want to make me wanna shout
Come on, baby (Shout)
Come on, now (Shout)
Come on, baby (Shout)
Come on, now (Shout)
Don't forget to say you will (Shout)
(Shout) You ain't got no say
Yeah-yeah (Shout), yeah-yeah, come on (Shout)
Say it again (Shout)
A little bit louder (Shout)
A little bit louder (Shout)
[Verse 5]
Hey!
Oh!
[Verse 6]
(I kinda like that, I wanna do that one more time, listen)
Hey!
Oh!
[Verse 7]
(Listen, y'all know what?)
(I say, y'all know what?)
Sometimes
Ah, sometime
You might feel a little lonely
Might feel downhearted
Am I ever worried, now?
And I might feel lonely too, babe
I might feel worried too, babe
I might even not get to bed at all, babe
No, I might not sleep, babe
I might not sleep, babe
I might have somethin' to hold my mind
And I might not sleep
I might not, Mary, one, two, three, four
Change the time
[Verse 8]
Isn't that right?
Isn't that right?
'Cause these are hard and troubled times, baby
Well sometimes, when a man's down real low
And everything seem just right
Everything sounds so nice
All we need's a little electric guitar
Feel a little better
You know, it eases my mind
I just broke out of town, yeah
Baby, I want a guitar to play
Just like that
All night long
[Verse 9]
Oh
[Verse 10]
Yeah, I feel a whole lot better now, baby
Yeah, it knocks me out
'Fore I leave this old buildin' tonight
'Fore I go, I just wanna hear all the people shout
[Verse 11]
Now, I wanna hear ya
Give a shout
I wanna hear ya
Give a shout
Give a shout
Give a shout
[Verse 12]
There's a smell in the oven
Used to be just nine years old
Money's cool for you, babe
But I wanna let you know
That I am grown up
Now, I wanna let you know
I gotta go
I want you to know
[Verse 13]
You make, you make me wanna shout
Come on, baby (Shout)
Come on, now (Shout)
Come on, baby (Shout)
Come on, now (Shout)
Just a little bit louder now (Shout)
Little bit louder now (Shout)
A little bit louder now (Shout)
Little bit louder (Shout)
