Lyrics

One of the Living by dk black

Darlin’ don’t you know a pretty little girl like you can get herself in some kind of trouble
Honey don’t you know what this big bad world can do to you so get yourself inside on the double
Like it yes or no this world keeps turning round and round
Honey don’t let go they’ll take you down without a sound

Well I’m not asking for much so I’m gonna take what I need
In a world that ain’t too fond of giving
No I’m not asking for much I just want to walk down the street
And pretend that I’m one of the living

Take her down a notch that girl is getting out of hand, just look at the way that she teases
Out there on the streets and walking through the promised land, doing anyone that she pleases
Baby hold on tight you know they’re coming after you
Put up a good fight or God knows what they’ll do to you

Well I’m not asking for much so I’m gonna take what I need
In a world that ain’t too fond of giving
No I’m not asking for much I just want to walk down the street
And pretend that I’m one of the living

Take her down a notch-did that woman do you wrong
Take her down a notch-brother did she lead you on
Take her down a notch-turned around and she was gone
Take her down a notch – hey…
Take her down a notch-for everything she put you through
Take her down a notch-that girl has got it out for you
Take her down a notch-whatever is a boy to do
Take her down

Well I’m not asking for much so I’m gonna take what I need
In a world that ain’t too fond of giving
No I’m not asking for much I just want to walk down the street
And pretend that I’m one – saints forfend I become – just pretend that I’m one, one of the living
