Lyrics Something Strange Is Going On - Koko Taylor

Something Strange Is Going On by Koko Taylor
From From The Heart Of A Woman (AL 4724)

Hey ya'all, something strange going on
My man ain't givin' me no lovin' when I come home
After a hard day's work, when I get to him something's always wrong
My dog starts barkin' at me
Kids always full of popcorn and candy
I guess I ain't in the right spot
Someone stole everything I got

Something strange going on in my house
Oh, yes it is
Something strange going on in my house
Oh, yes it is

(Solo)

Early one morning I reached out of bed for my shoes
Would you believe I picked up a strange pair nobody knows whose
Late last night layin' in bed, I heard a scratch
He said, "Now honey child, it's only the cat"
But people, let me tell you, I still have doubts
I ain't never heard a whispering cat
Early tomorrow morning
I'm gonna lay a heavy trap
I'm gonna play big bad bulldog
And catch that con two-legged cat

Something strange going on in my house
Oh, yes it is
Something strange going on in my house
Oh, yes it is

Every, every time I come home
I find cigarette butts in my ashtray
Brand I don't smoke
Dirty glasses in my sink
With lipstick stains all around
I looked in my bedroom
Found blonde hairs all over my pillow

Oh! Oh! Something strange going on in my home
Every time I come home
I got a different lock on my door

Every time I come home I got a different lock on my door
Oh! Oh!
