If You Need Me
(Wilson Pickett/Robert Bateman/Sonny Sanders)
If you need me, call me
If you need me, call me
Don't wait too long if things go wrong
I'll be home
If you want me, send for me
If you want me, send for me
Don't wait too long; just pick up your phone
& I'll be home where I belong
(spoken):
Peoples have always said, darlin', that I didn't mean you no good
& you would leave me someday
But way deep down in my heart, I know I did the best I could
That's why I know that one of these days it won't be long
You'll come walkin' through that same door
& I can imagine in my mind that these are the words you'll be sayin'
I still love you, always think of you
I still love you, always think of you
No matter what the people say, I won't stay away
& if you need me, I'll be home where I belong
It's Too Late
(Wilson Pickett)
(Doo-doo-doo's by backup singers)
It's too late (too late, too late)
Said it's too late, yes it is (too late)
My love is gone away to stay (too late)
Don't you know it's too late now
Listen, children, I wanna tell you this
It's too late to cry (too late to cry)
It's too late to cry now (too late to cry)
My love is gone away, yes she has (too late)
Wo wo (too late) she has (too late)
(spoken):
I just guess that you're wonderin' why I always sing a sad song
But you see, I had a woman who was very good to me
& I can remember the times she used to sit down & tell me these
words:
Said, "Pickett, I want you to know I love you from the bottom of my
heart
& whatever you need, I don't want you to go to your mother, your
father, your sister or your brother
I'll be a leadin' pull when you're fallin' down
When all your money's gone, I want you to know you can count on me"
But I didn't appreciate that woman then
You know what? I had to run & chase after every little girl around
town
So finally one day I got home & I found my little girl gone
& people, you know it hurt me so bad (ha ha) I had to hang my little
head & cry
Then I began to read the letter she left for me layin' there; it read
like this, children
It's too late, she's gone, oh (she's gone)
"It's too late I'm gone away" (she's gone)
Ah yeah (too late) don't you know it, children (too late)
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Say it one more time (too late) listen (too late)
I wanna hear you understand what I'm talkin' about (too late)
