I Seen Lyrics
Mona
Lyrics
Down on your knees, stay close to the river
Praying, dear Lord, would You come and deliver
Something good for these old weary bones?
Screaming out loud, looking for a scam
Holding out my hat in my hand
Hopefully, I could get on a better road
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
Crab can't fair looking for a dime
Standing on $6.75
Saying, I'm in trash all of my days
Watch a woman leave her man
Leave her man just to find him again
Just to leave again
Don't know what, she is insane
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
Ain't from London and we ain't from Dublin
We don't sound like something
But we sound like something
Ain't nothing but something
Ain't nothing much to see
Ain't on the top man, we're close to the bottom
But we're on your heels and I think that I got 'em
I think, maybe, we're just starting to see, yeah
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
She's gonna kick and scream
So hot that you come and deliver
She's so cold in her heart that
Baby, she could start you a shiver
She's gonna act a fool
She's gonna make you cry
She's gonna make you scream
"Oh, my God", tonight
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
I seen everything, oh, everything
I seen everything
