Watermelon Song

It’s too long baby since things been the way they was

But after all these years it’s still you I love

Since that day you left me I’ve got one thing on my mind

And honey it’s you

 

Without your love baby my heart’s done turned to stone

Rambled all around this world ‘til I’ve got no place left to roam

If you’d come back to me I know you’d plainly see

That we could find home

 

(chorus)

I’ve got you on my mind

I’ve got you on my mind

And if you don’t get off soon

You’re gonna split my head in two

Like a watermelon rind

 

The daytime’s alright but each night I cry myself to sleep

I miss lying in your arms and even your old cold feet

But the way you’d make me warm with the taste of your love so sweet

Would drive any man wild

 

Well I’ve tried other women but you know it just ain’t the same

Sometimes I see their faces but I didn’t ever take no names

It’s always the same old story—little lies and silly games

‘Til I’m going insane

 

 

Thomas Hubbard (1989)
