Jimmy McCracklin - My Answer Lyrics
Now I received your letter saying you were sorryAnd you wanted to come on home to me(And this is my answer ooh ooh)So I decided to answer and tell you babyThings ain't what they used to be(Cause' I was hurt, hurt, hurt)You see I found me someone elseThat I believe appreciate my loving good(And this is my answer ooh ooh)And I'm not gonna mistreat them for you becauseThings didn't go the way you thought they would(Cause' I was hurt, hurt, hurt)Now all I can say, hey, hey, hey(Ooh who I'm sorry for you, ooh...)For forty days and nights you made me sufferBefore you called back on the telephone(That really hurt, hurt, hurt)But I know you was just brainwashed babyAnd you couldn't give it up and come on home(And here is my answer)So I finally fell on my knees when I realizedYour love, you didn't want me to have it(Cause' I been hurt, hurt, hurt)And I felt so close to you loveI felt like I could just reach and grab it(And this is my answer, ooh ooh)Now all I can say, hey, hey, hey(Ooh who I'm sorry for you, ooh...)Guitar/Sax Solo (ooh's...)Now you said right here in your letterThat you lied and said I did you wrong(And this is my answer, ooh ooh)You know you didn't care if I lived or died babyOr worried about how I got along(That really hurt, hurt, hurt)So just before I close my letterRemember I said one day you'd be(You would be crying)Broken-hearted and worried babyWithout a love just like me(And this is my answer, ooh ooh)Now all I can say, hey, hey, hey(Ooh who I'm sorry for you, ooh...)Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, oohOoh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
