Just an idea I had .. never got around to doing much more with it.
Lyrics
I Just Don't Work Without You
Mike Prather
*** Edited Lyric***
Well I've been thinking about you baby
wondering just what happend to us
There's a Stand on the corner selling magazines
pretty as a picture ... tell you how to get richer
raise your hopes for the better
If a heart is needed to keep you breathing
I'm gasping for air this dark evening
There's a weight on my shoulder
a day that's getting colder
oh the worlds still turning but it's slower
I'm a heart without a beat
a lost penny on the street
a simple situation turned into
a complicated complication
this much I know is true
I just don't work without you
So come on come on give me a chance
remember how we used to dance
we had the world on a platter
now you say we don't matter
how can this be true
If a heart is needed to keep you breathing
I'm gasping for air this dark evening
There's a weight on my shoulder
a day that's getting colder
oh the worlds still turning but it's slower
I'm a heart without a beat
a lost penny on the street
a simple situation turned into
a complicated complication
this much I know is true
I just don't work without you
I just don't work without you
I just don't work without you
This is a great song Mike. Stripped and bare and simple and ingenious. Vocals are great. Great song. With how many strums?
