Merle Haggard - Love Somebody To Death lyrics

rate me

(Red Lane - Glenn Martin)

I ain't never robbed or beat up on nobody

I ain't never failed no lie detector test

But tomorrow I'm gonna be the town's most wanted man

But tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

I'm gonna shave shower shine my shoes and shampoo

Break out my pinstriped suit with the matching vest

Climb in my four hundred horse widetrack rollin' apartment van

Tonight I'm gonna lay some heart to rest.

Tomorrow my face will be all over the post office wall

The town will put a price upon my head

I'm gonna be some happy lady's most wanted man

Cause tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

Gonna grab her, kiss her, squeeze her, please her and show her no mercy

Premeditated lovin' at its best

It'll take seven days to get the smile off the corpus delightee

Yeah, tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

--- Instrumental ---

See that shady character smilin' on the six o'clock news

Front page color Assiciated Press

You'll be looking at some happy lady's most wanted man

Cause tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

I'm gonna grab her, kiss her, squeeze her, please her and show her no mercy

Premeditated lovin' at its best

It'll take seven days to get the smile off the corpus delightee

Yeah, tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

And baby it's gonna be you think about it now...
