Eddie Mugavero: music

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I found this line in one of Bob's songs. I thought the line stood alone as a title, and wrote a whole song around it. One of my first songs where the title is the first line of the song.

I ONLY SLIPPED

I ONLY SLIPPED I DIDN’T FALL
HE DIALED MY NUMBER BUT I NEVER TOOK THE CALL
I READ HIS MIND IN TIME AND SAW THE WRITING ON THE WALL
I ONLY SLIPPED I DIDN’T FALL

I MIGHTA BEEN TEMPTED BUT I DIDN’T SIN
I PUT MY FOOT IN THE POOL BUT DIDN’T JUMP IN
I ADMIT I SIPPED THE TONIC, BUT DIDN’T TASTED THE GIN
I MIGHTA BEEN TEMPTED, BUT I DIDN’T SIN

BABE I HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND WHEN HE OFFERED HIS HAND
I TOOK A LOOK BUT SHOOK IT OFF AND HONEY I RAN
I MADE A BEE-LINE HOME TO WHERE I KNOW I BELONG
I LEFT RIGHT BEFORE I DID WRONG

I MIGHTA TRIPPED I MIGHTA STALLED
BUT I BIT MY LIP GOT A GRIP AND CALLED A HALT
I NIPPED IT IN THE BUD AND NOTHING BLOSSOMED AT ALL
I ONLY SLIPPED I DIDN’T FALL
