Delilah (2015)












Only You lyrics - Anderson East

Baby, I'm burning, yearning inside
I can't get you off my mind
I got a fever, 110
You're my only, only medicine

Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Baby, I want you
Only you will do

I'm dying without you near
I can't live without you, dear
I'm going crazy, baby, it's true
I want you; only you will do

Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Baby, I want you
Only you will do

(Sha la la la)
I've been waiting for so long, whoa whoa whoa whoa
I've grown tired of feeling like I'm in this world all alone

Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Baby, I want you
Only you will do

Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Only you (shoobie-doo bah doo)
Baby, I want you
Only you will do
Baby, I want you
Only you will do

Satisfy Me lyrics - Anderson East

I sipped the finest brandy, is not as sweet as perfume
I kissed the softest lips, but even they wouldn't do
I drove the Autoban, in a Coupe Deville
Climbed Kilimanjaro, it was just a hill

Now it's gonna take more, more, more
To satisfy me
Satisfy me

Now, listen here baby, just as fine as the comb
But you're a selfish little pervent, a cold hit and run
Oh got PHD and TLC, and theres so many fish in the sea

And it's gonna take more, more, more
To satisfy me
Oh, to satisfy me
Satisfy me

It's gonna take more, more, more
More, more, more
It's gonna take more
Goin' take more
Goin' take more
To satisfy me
Oh, to satisfy me
Satisfy me
Oh, to satisfy me
Oh, satisfy

Find 'Em, Fool 'Em And Forget 'Em lyrics - Anderson East

People, let me tell you 'bout my father
He was known as the meanest, baddest lovemaker in town
He had a reputation of getting 'round all the women
For breaking their hearts, and leaving 'em all crying

And he told me "son, let me give you some advice
Gotta remember this for the rest of your life"

He told me to find 'em, fool 'em, and forget 'em
Remember the fullest
Find 'em, fool 'em, and forget 'em, yeah

I didn't listen to what my father told me
Already gave, gave my heart to you, girl
You walked on it and misused it
Finally broke my heart in two

The way you treated me, wouldn't even treat a dog
Didn't even show, show me no mercy at all

I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you
Like my father said
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you, yeah
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you, yeah yeah
I wish I had found you, fooled you, and forgot you, yeah

Devil In Me lyrics - Anderson East

There's a girl in Shelbyville
Gave her life to Jesus
First Antioch Baptist Church, where her dad preaches
She's pretty as her mama; she's only 23
And she could be an angel, Lord, cause she's bringing out the devil in me

Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
Cause it's Saturday night and I'm high and I've been drinking
But come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I look over and see her smile
Bow my head and the choir sings
Lord, forgive me; she's bringing out the devil in me

Sundress on a willow tree
Smooth on the water
I know the Lord's been good to me when I look at the preacher's daughter
But she's my Delilah; she brings me to my knees
And she could be an angel, cause she's bringing out the devil in me

Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
Saturday night and I'm high and I've been drinking
But come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I look over and see her smile
Bow my head and the choir sings
Lord, forgive me; she's bringing out the devil in me

Lord, forgive me for what I'm thinking
Saturday night and I'm high and I've been drinking
But come tomorrow morning across the aisle
I look over and see her smile
Bow my head and the choir sings
Lord, forgive me; she's bringing out the devil in me
Lord, forgive me; she's bringing out the devil in me

All I'll Ever Need lyrics - Anderson East

You can't catch it in a picture
Oh, this beauty could never see
Cause your love, your love, sweet darling
It's all I'll ever need
You can't buy it with all your money
Oh, a rich man I'll always be
Oh, cause your love, your love, sweet darling
It's all I'll ever need

Couldn't go on without your love to guide me
Couldn't go on without whispering your name
I'd give up all I ever had just to let you know
That your love keeps me coming home

You could hold me as your captive
Oh, lock me up, throw away the keys
Oh, cause your love, your love, darling
It's all I'll ever need

Couldn't go on without your love to guide me
Couldn't go on without whispering your name
I'd give up all I ever had just to let you know
That your love keeps me coming home

You could steal the stars from heaven
And all the water from the deep blue seas
Oh, cause your love, your love, darling
It's all I'll ever need
Your love, darling, your sweet love, darling
It's all I'll ever need

Quit You lyrics - Anderson East

I can't quit you
Lord knows I've tried to
And I can't forget you
But I'm dying inside to
And my heart can't say goodbye
Like the blue can't eat the sky
Honey, I can't quit you

I, I knew that I was good as done
There was something in your eye
that told me I should turn and run


But I can't quit you
Lord knows I tried to
I can't forget you
But I'm dying inside to
Cause it might sound insane
Can't get off your train
Honey, I can't quit you

I can't eat, I can't sleep
I walk around, honey, dead on my feet
So if you're wondering, here's my prediction
There ain't no remedy for my affliction

I can't quit you
Lord knows I've tried to
I can't forget you
But I'm dying inside to
But you're my favorite high
Til the day I die
I can't quit you
No, I can't quit you
I can't quit you
I can't quit you

What A Woman Wants To Hear lyrics - Anderson East

Calico quilt and muscadine wine
Silver moon, candle lights
Pretty little girl, come here
I want to tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

From hello you had my heart
And it was over from the start
Gonna lay you down, make it clear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

You really turn my head in that cotton-red sundress
Sitting cross-legged, bitching 'bout your ex
You turned me on, when they called last call
You said, "Let's get out of here."
Little girl, I'll make it clear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

Wanna talk about tomorrow like it's a real thing
See you when I come to town next spring
Whisper nothings in your ear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

You really turn my head in that cotton-red sundress
Sitting cross-legged, bitching 'bout your ex
You turned me on when they called last call
You said, "Let's get out of here."
Pretty little girl, I'll make it clear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

You really turn my head in that cotton-red sundress
Sitting cross-legged, bitching 'bout your ex
You turned me on, when they called last call
You said, "Let's get out of here."
Pretty little girl, I'll make it clear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear
I'll tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman—tell you what a woman wants to hear

Lonely lyrics - Anderson East

I called just to hear your voice
Didn't say I was sorry for leaving
Wasn't ready for what you had to say
But you still love me, and you're dying every day

Wouldn't be lonely if I crawled on back
Wouldn't be lonely if I fixed the flaws I had
Wouldn't be lonely if time would take us back
Wouldn't be lonely, wouldn't be lonely cause of me

And I can feel the tension through the lines
Your sighing says enough
And I don't know why these words I chose between two roads
Would even matter; Lord, I still can't let her go

Wouldn't be lonely if I crawled on back
Wouldn't be lonely if I fixed the flaws I had
Wouldn't be lonely if time would take us back
Wouldn't be lonely, wouldn't be lonely, oh, because of me

So am I crazy for leaving?
Am I crazy for stealing your heart away?

And no, I wouldn't be lonely if I would crawl on back
Wouldn't be lonely if I fixed the flaws I had
No, I wouldn't be lonely if time would take us back
No, I wouldn't be lonely, I wouldn't be lonely cause of me
Oh, because of me

Keep The Fire Burning lyrics - Anderson East

I used to wake up, watch you while you were sleeping
You'd open up your eyes like you knew what I was thinking
You thought my arms were strong, right where you belonged
How could so right, baby, end up so wrong?

Cause it's hard to keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the flame alive
It's hard to heal the hurting
Just can't keep the fire burning

Do you remember the weekend by the ocean?
We were invisible in midnight locomotion
The tide is rolling in, it's time to sink or swim
Do you think we could ever strike another match again

Cause it's hard to keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the flame alive
It's hard to heal the hurting
Just can't keep that fire burning
Oh, and it's hard to heal the hurt
Just can't keep the fire burning

It's hard to keep the fire burning
It's hard to keep the flame alive
Oh, and it's hard to heal the hurting
When you can't keep the fire burning
Oh, it's hard to heal the hurting
Just can't keep the fire burning
And it's hard to heal the hurting
When you just can't keep the fire burning

Lying In Her Arms lyrics - Anderson East

The clouds hung lower than they should be
Scraping the tops of the trees
The sun pierced through and the flowers are in bloom
It makes no difference to me
Meal's cold and I was waiting for you to warm up
Thought I saw fire everywhere
She came along, not mistaking what I saw
Now we're smoke in the air

'Cause you were the only one I was holding
And I was holding her close
You were the only one I was thinking of
Lying in her arms
Throwing away our love

She was young, she was new, and that's what I wanted
New eyes that shine back at me
But the warmth wore off, and Lord I was left with the thoughts
What I did, I couldn't change

'Cause you were the only one I was holding
And I was holding her close
You were the only one I was thinking of
Lying in her arms
Throwing away our love
Our love

You were the only one I was holding
And I was holding her close
You were the only one I was thinking of
Lying in her arms
Throwing away our love
Our love
Our love

Hello lyrics - Anderson East

Curb side seats
with my shadow to my feet.
Hello.

Paths seem to meet
where people greet and speak.
Hello

Why do I fight
when our eyes don’t meet quite right.
Hello

Why do I hide
behind some smile I left behind.
Hello

Why
do my colors fade?
Why
is it when the seasons change?
Why
am I just a shadow in the shade?
Why
can’t we stay to say…

So where were you going
in some kind of hurry?
Don’t you know if ran
you might get there a little faster.

Was time on your side
or were you letting it slip right by.
Hello
Your patterns are on display
behind the hand shake that you fake.
Hello

Why
do my colors fade?
Why
is it when the seasons change?
Why
am I just a shadow in the shade?
Why
can’t we stay to say hello.

Early October lyrics - Anderson East

Late night
early friday morning
the sun’s gonna be here soon.

Cold september
seasons are changing
and dawn is running straight through.

Counting down the hours,
glory days fading and
maybe now change could do her good.

Cause now my words seem to be falling a little deeper
than the way I use to keep them
and October is right outside my door.

She stands outside
with a suitcase under her arm
says she’s going up to Boston for the fall

Says she gonna be famous
while she stands beside a lamp post
just waiting for her bus to run.

She stands under her umbrella
just hiding from the weather
that could tear her world into.

Cause now my words seem to be falling a little deeper
than the way I use to keep them
and October is right outside my door

Reach You lyrics - Anderson East

Words too late,
won’t make you stay
or give us tomorrow or today.
our love has faded
away, it seems so strange
to have to let go too soon
and it’s true
that I still miss you.

You ain’t coming back.
No matter how hard I try.
And I can’t reach you.
Once you’ve made up your mind.

Time don’t change
days last for weeks
here alone.
The telephone
sends blurry signals of home
but you’re gone
and I can’t get over you.

You ain’t coming back.
No matter how hard I try.
And I can’t reach you.
Once you’ve made up your mind.
& I refuse to die here.
My friend its time to just move on.
& don’t let her see you crying.
there’s no use
when she’s made up her mind

Fire Song lyrics - Anderson East

Swiftly opened eyes discover sound
Fog rolls under the door, she needs to get out.

But her screams have no sound,
The alarm yells to loud.
She opens the blinds.

She be waiting for the fire to set her free.
She’s been calling, God rescue me.
Leaving hell come at such high degrees
She’s been waiting for the fire to set her free.

Well, she jumps out of her window and lands on both feet.
And the ringing of bells don’t seem to cease.

She looks back to see.
Smoke higher than trees,
and she smiles.

She be waiting for the fire to set her free.
She’s been calling, God rescue me.
Leaving hell come at such high degrees
She’s been waiting for the fire to set her free.

I'm Still Waiting lyrics - Anderson East

Lacking something,
too much nothing,
a house with walls
and nothing in it.

Queasy stomach,
cigarette butts,
burnt up post cards
and I’m sill waiting.

For you to come to my rescue
and save me from myself.
To shake the dust off my windows
so I can see something else

Wounds untended,
hate still pending,
don’t test me
cause I’m liable to break out.

Overwhelmed by
reckless action
but no one’s perfect
but I’m still waiting.

For you to come to my rescue
and save me from myself.
To shake the dust off my windows
so I can see something else

Cause I’m trying my hardest
but theres only so much a man can take
they say time can mend anything
but how long do I have to wait?

For you to come to my rescue
and save me from myself.
To shake the dust off my windows
so I can see something else

Bone Dry lyrics - Anderson East

Lonely as I sit
broke down off the highway.
Cars they sweep beside me,
on damp asphalt.
and I’m not sure where to go
I sit with the radio on.
& light a smoke.

Cause’ helplessness overwhelms us.
It’s out of my hands
I’m enclosed in a tin can
that ran bone dry.

Well, I suppose today ain’t my day.
Between the sheets I should have stayed
back in Alabama.
Oh, how the winter chill greets
the warmth beneath
my rain coat.

Cause’ helplessness overwhelms us.
It’s out of my hands
I’m enclosed in a tin can
that ran bone dry.

Always Be My Baby lyrics - Anderson East

We were as one, babe, for a moment in time
And it seemed everlasting that you would always be mine
Now you want to be free, so I'll let you fly
'Cause I know in my heart, babe, our love will never die

You'll always be a part of me, and I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me?
Oh, darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on, and time can't erase a feeling this strong
Oh, you'll never shake me
'Cause you'll always be my baby

I'm not going to cry now, and I won't beg you to stay
If you're determined to leave, girl, I will not stand in your way, hey
But inevitably, you'll be back again
Because you know in my heart, babe, our love will never end

You'll always be a part of me, and I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me?
Oh, darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on, and time can't erase a feeling this strong
Oh, you'll never shake me
'Cause you'll always be my..

I know that you'll be back, girl
When your days and your nights get a little bit colder
And I know that you'll, you'll be right back
Baby, believe me it's only a matter of time, time

You'll always be a part of me, and I'm part of you indefinitely
Girl, don't you know you can't escape me?
Oh, darling 'cause you'll always be my baby
And we'll linger on, and time can't erase a feeling this strong
Oh, you'll never shake me 'cause you'll always be my baby
Oh, darling, 'cause you'll always be my baby
Oh, you'll never shake me 'cause you'll always be my baby

I Ain't No Zebra I'm A Bumblebee lyrics - Anderson East

I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see
I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see

(Zoom) when I zoom from room to room
(Zoom, zoom) I zoom, zoom all around
(Zoom) I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee
(Zoom, zoom) my legs ain't stuck to the ground

I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see

Well, I'm a bumblebee (I'm a bumblebee)
I'm a bumblebee (I'm a bumblebee)
I'm a bumblebee (I'm a bumblebee)
Bee-bee, bee-bee-bee-bee-bee-bee-bee-bee

I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee (he's a bee)
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see (he's a bumble, bumblebee)
I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee (he's a bee)
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see (a bumble, bumble, bumblebee)

I stay home with my honey
But she's so sweet (she's so sweet)
I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee
I don't eat the grass at my feet (nope)

I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee (he's a bumble, bumblebee)
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see

Well I'm a bumblebee (I'm a bumblebee)
I'm a bumblebee (I'm a bumblebee)
I'm a bumble-bumble-bumble... (I'm a bumblebee) bee

I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee (a bumblebee) (he's a bee)
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see
I ain't no zebra, I'm a bumblebee (a bumble, bumble, bumblebee)
My stripes are yellow, not white, you see (he's a bumblebee)

Ain't no zebra
Ain't no zebra
I'm a bumblebee
Ain't no zebra
I'm a bumblebee
I'm a bumblebee

Learning lyrics - Anderson East

I remember growing up
Riding shotgun in my daddy's truck
He let me take the wheel every now and then
And I was learning - to be a man

We drive down to the Wilsons pond
With rods and reels and little George Jones
And he made a cast and let me pull them in
And I was learning - learning to be a man

It takes a man, to teach a man
I thank the boy for his guiding hand
And I'm learning - Learning to be a man

And I left home when I was 17
Headed up north to Tennessee
He said boy, your nothing if I drink
Now I understand
I was learning to be a man

It takes a man, to teach a man
I thank the lord for his guiding hand
And I'm learning - Learning to be a man

With every passing day I find a way but I'm still getting old
Got to fix it when its broken or when its time to fold but
Loving aint ever wrong

And it takes a man, to teach a man
I thank the lord for his guiding hand
And I'm learning - Learning to be a man

Him and mum started falling apart
She left him with a hole in his heart
He said son, someday you'll understand
You'll be learning like I'm learning
Yes I'm learning like he's learning
To be a man

Other Side Of Love lyrics - Anderson East

(from "Second Act" soundtrack)

I was drowning in the water
Holding on against the tide
And every day kept getting longer
Never had the time to cry
But I'm on a new horizon
You're the answer that I found
And for once I don't feel frightened
You turned my world around

I'm on the other side of love
I'm never looking back
I'm on the other side of love
And this time it's gonna last

There's always pain inside the glory
There's always lies beneath the truth
But it's a happy ending story
And I'm, I'm the living proof

I'm on the other side of love
I'm never looking back
I'm on the other side of love
And this time it's gonna last

I'm on the other side, the other side of love
I'm on the other side, other side of love
Other side of love

I'm on the other side of love
I'm never looking back
And I'm on the other side of love
This time it's gonna last

I'm on the other side of love
I'm never looking back
I'm on the other side of love
This time it's gonna last

I'm on the other side of love
I'm never looking back
And I'm on the other side of love
And this time it's gonna last

What Would It Take lyrics - Anderson East

(from "Fifty Shades Darker" soundtrack)

What would it take
To make you love me?
What would it take
To make you love me?

Would it take flowers
Red roses from vines
Would it take diamonds
To let you know you're mine
Well, I'll take you dancing
Sweep you off your feet
What do you need
To know you're the only one, one for me

And what would it take
To make you love me?
What would it take
To make you love me?

What words can I say?
Tell me, what can I do?
Know that I am
And I'll give it to you
I could make you smile
Give you all your dreams
And I'd give everything
To make you love me
Oh, and

What would it take
To make you love me?
And what would it take
To make you love me?
Oh, what would it take?
What would it take?
It take
To make you love me?
Oh, and
What would it take
To make you love me?
And what would it take
To make you love me?
