Lyrics Mess of Blues (Live) - Delbert McClinton

I told you I was doin' just fine
Didn't need nothin' in this life of mine
Was havin' a good time just bein' free
But you smiled that smile and just wouldn't listen
Now you're makin' it hard for me to keep resistin'
Oh baby, you're 'bout to get the best of me

Well, my kind of love I don't spread around
I been savin' it up for a long time now
Waitin' on a man that suits me to a T
Well, I tried to hold back in every way I could
But it's hard to fight the feelin' when it feels this good
Oh baby, you're 'bout to get the best of me

You got a power of persuasion
And that's drivin' my imagination
And girl I'm beginnin' to see a world of possibilities
And I know the only way for me to win
Is just to give up, go on, and give in
Oh baby, you're 'bout to get the best of me

You got a power of persuasion
And that's drivin' my imagination
And girl I'm beginnin' to see a world of possibilities
And I know the only way for me to win
Is just to give up, go on, and give in
Oh baby, you're 'bout to get the best of me

Well, ain't no use in me tryin' to save myself
My will power's gone, there ain't nothin' left
Oh baby, you're 'bout to get the best of me
Oh baby, you're 'bout to get the best of me

You got a power of persuasion
That's drivin' my imagination
And girl I'm beginnin' to see a world of possibilities
Ain't no use in me tryin' to save myself
My will power's gone, there ain't nothin' left
Oh baby you're 'bout to get the best of me
