CRACK SMOKIN' WOMAN (T. Turner)

The woman I love, she's slowly drivin' me insane
The woman I love, she's slowly drivin' me insane
She's on her way to the grave, cause she smokes that crack cocaine

She gets up early every mornin', man that little girl she's dope-house bound - oh yeah
She gets up early every mornin', man that little girl she's dope-house bound
And when I need my baby, that little girl she can't be found

(oh play the blues... oh yeah...)

She took all of my money, and she pawned my watch and diamond ring
She took all of my money y'all, and she pawned my watch and ring
She would sell her soul for a dollar, like a dog mean a doggone thing

I love my baby, but she just don't let that crack cocaine alone
Crazy about my woman, she won't leave crack cocaine alone
She's on her way to the grave, she's breakin' up my happy home

Son of a gun!

Sweet Tooth

This is from the same session as "Crack Smokin' Woman", with the same data. The song was also written by Twist Turner ( http://members.tripod.com/~Twist_Turner/index.html). .

SWEET TOOTH (T. Turner)

Sweet as the honey is to a bee
Sweet as the apple is to a tree
Sweet as a ship to a drownin' man
Sweet is my baby when I hold her hand
I've got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth for your love
I can't help myself, I'm a sucker for your love

Sweet as the icing is on a cake
Sweet as a fat rat to a snake
Sweet as a brand-new one hundred dollar bill
Sweet as a Cadillac Coupe de Ville
I've got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth for your love
I can't help myself, I'm a sucker for your love

Sweet as mama's apple pie
Sweet as my baby is to my eye
Sweet as a bulldog to a hound
Sweet is my baby when she come around
I've got a sweet tooth, a sweet tooth for your love
I can't help myself, I'm a sucker for your love

I've got a sweet tooth, sweet tooth for your love
I've got a sweet tooth, sweet tooth for your love
I can't help myself, I'm a sucker for your love
