Solomon Burke — Sit This One Out

[Verse 1] The night's getting old and your eyes are weary You can't see clearly and your nerves are thinning A half-eaten meal and a tear on the table But don't seem able to hold the anger in [Chorus] Love sometimes takes the form of frustration It's a sad combination of emptiness and doubt But only a human connection is expressed with a shout Well, I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out [Verse 2] There was a time When we could sit and talk about things together No, we didn't shout about things, at all We laughed, we loved, we played We said what we had to say But there's nothing to do now And I don't have a clue how rise above it all [Chorus] Love sometimes takes the form of frustration It's a sad combination of emptiness and doubt But only a human connection is expressed with a shout Well, I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out [Verse 3] Well, I know you understand what I'm talking about Love sometimes takes on the form of frustration A sad combination of emptiness and doubt But only a human connection is expressed with a shout Cut down and run I think I'm gonna have to sit down and sit this one out? Let me say it again: I think I'm gonna have to just sit this one out [Outro] Can I ride above it all? I didn't even have a clue Sometimes I feel like I'm gonna to fall Something said "Hold on, don't let go" Don't give up of everything that you work for, so long Don't destroy your self in a second with anger Hold on, a change will come I just wanna say: I think I'm gonna have to sit and work this one out
