  • You've talking about your woman, I wish to God, man, that you could see
    Mine
    You're talking about your woman, I wish to God that you could see mine
    Every time the little girl start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
    Lord, her daddy must been a millionaire, 'cause I can tell by the way she
    Walk
    Her daddy must been a millionaire, because I can tell by the way she walk
    Every time she start to loving, the deaf and dumb begin to talk
    I remember one Friday morning, we was lying down across the bed
    Man in the next room a-dying, stopped dying and lift up his head, and said,

    "Lord, ain't she pretty, and the whole state know she fine!"
    Every time she start to loving, she bring eyesight to the blind
    (Spoken: All right and all right, now. Lay it on me, lay it on me, lay it
    On me
    Oh lordy, what a woman, what a woman! )
    Yes, I declare she's pretty and the whole state knows she's fine
    Man, I declare she's pretty, God knows I declare she's fine
    Every time she starts to loving, whoo, she brings eyesight to the blind
    (I've got to get out of here, now, let's go, let's go, let's go now) Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
