Eddie Mugavero: music
THE ONLY THING THAT I'LL TAKE LYIN' DOWN
(Written by Eddie Mugavero-Sung by Tim Boone)
Another early Nashville song, pulled from the archives. I like it 'cause it has a dirty innocence to it ;)
THE ONLY THING THAT I’LL TAKE LYIN’ DOWN
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS FACE, I BET YOU’LL FIND A SCAR
SOMEONE GOT TOO CLOSE ONE TIME THEN TOOK A STEP TOO FAR
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE EYES, THEY’RE EMPTY AND THEY’RE COLD
I’VE GOT A REPUTATION TO UPHOLD
TAKE A LOOK AT THESE HANDS, THEY’RE CALLOUSED AND THEY’RE STRONG
NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND EVER DARED TO DO ME WRONG
BUT TAKE A LOOK AT ME NOW I THINK YOU’VE FINALLY FOUND
THE ONLY THING THAT I’LL TAKE LYIN’ DOWN
THE ONLY THING THAT I’LL TAKE LYIN’ DOWN IS YOUR LOVE
IT LIFTS ME UP THEN DROPS ME TO MY KNEES
GIRL YOU GOT THE BEST OF ME THE PART THAT AINT SO TOUGH
THE ONLY THING THAT I’LL TAKE LYIN’ DOWN IS YOUR LOVE
WHAT WOULD THE BOYS SAY IF THEY COULD SEE ME NOW
MR BIGSHOT AINT SO BIG NOW SINCE YOU BEEN AROUND
BUT JUST BETWEEN US, GIRL..I STILL RUN THIS TOWN
THERE’S ONLY ONE THING I’LL TAKE LYIN’ DOWN
IT AIN’T TOUGH BEING TENDER GIRL WITH YOU
NO ONE GETS THEIR WAY THE WAY YOU DO
