Last year me and my mates tried to figure out the lyrics of Jerry Butler´s "Stop Stepping On My Dreams". We all feel that they are outstanding poetry, but we don´t know whether we got them right. If you have any ideas for approvements, please let me know...
Thanks,
Reinhard
"Save the babies, that’s what I say
Save the babies
I see a whole lot of folks shooting down the babies
And I got a couple of little guys that are just growing up
And I really get kind of shook up when I look around
See folks puttin’ down what they’re puttin’ down
It seems like I could hear ’em saying
Everybody keeps talkin’ ’bout the world
And what it’s coming to
You know, they say we can’t get it together
And it’s the end for me and you
But hey, I just really started living
A few days ago
And I dream of things I’ve never seen
And places I ain’t been before
So I’ve got a few helpful phrases
of people who singing those praises
Stop thinking with your behind
and take up the signs that are reasons for rhymes
And stop stepping on my dreams
Give me a chance, give me a chance,
Please give me a chance
You know most folks are scared of dying
So the fear brings it near
And I see ’em buying books to get to heaven
But they fight real hard to stay right here
Now the prophets gave us the solution
They said, “love your fellow man”
Y’all mistook it for pollution
And tried to wash your dirty hands
But dig it
Everything is temporary
And I think it’s kind of necessary to
Stop thinking with your behind and my changes are signs
They are reasons for lives and
Hey y’all, why don’t you get out of my dreams
Hey you, I want you to stop stepping on my dreams"
