Matt Simons – With you Lyrics
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1:]
Honest where I start from
I try and impart my wisdom
A combination of truth and fear
That’s the way it’s always been
My father and his before him
At times we hurt the …
[Verse 1]
Oh, pity me
I’m so alone and so blue
My friends have all gone away
Their friendliness too
[Pre-Chorus]
It was I on my own
With no need to belong
And I wanted to die
That’s when …
[Verse 1]
Got some money, got some cash
I’m rich and now I’m sad
And I wonder if I’m sad about the money that I have
Got some boats on my plane
At the hotel …
[Intro]
Yeah
Polishin’ a goddamn sword, you know what I’m sayin’?
Polishin’ a sword (Uh, uh, uh, uh)
Concrete Family, Concrete Industries, Concrete Boys up, always, never down
(And this beat from Cash, not from …
When the only sound in the empty street
Is the heavy tread of the heavy feet
That belong to a lonesome cop
I open shop
When the moon so long has been gazing down
On …
Nah nah honey, I’m good1
I could have another2 but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody3 at home
It’s been a long night here, and a long night there
And these long long legs and damn they’re everywhere4
(hold up now)
You look good, I will not lie
But if you ask where I’m staying tonight
I gotta be like oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby5
My baby’s already got all of my love6
So nah nah Honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu7
To another8 I will stay true
(oo oo I will stay true)
(who who I will stay true)
Now better men than me have failed9
Drinking from that unholy grail10
(Now check it out)
I’ve got her, and she got me
And you’ve got that ass, but I kindly gotta be like
Oh baby, no baby, you got me all wrong baby11
My baby’s already got all of my love
So nah nah Honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home, and if I stay I might not leave alone
No, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
(oo oo I will stay true)
(who who I will stay true)
Oh, I’m sure ya, sure ya will make somebody’s night12
But oh, I assure ya assure ya, it sure as hell’s not mine13
Oh No, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home
And if I stay I might now leave alone
No honey I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
No, no, honey, I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got somebody at home
And if I stay I might now leave alone
No honey I’m good
I could have another but I probably should not
I’ve got to bid you adieu
To another I will stay true
True ooo, ooo
(I will stay true) [x4]
Sing it now Oh whoa oh14

This is a song from the perspective of a drunk chauvinist who has mistaken his waitress’ request for a final drink order as a romantic overture. As he hiccups “AWW baby, NRAWWW baby.” and chomps out “NAWW, NAWW! honey I’m good” you can practically hear the pretzel crumbs spraying across the table.
The tired waitress stands by as our hero fumbles under the table, blindly groping for his dropped truck keys, all the while slurring out leering praise for the blur of female bodies he perceives surrounding him: “These long long legs are damn near everywhere!”
As he stumbles to his feet, dropping his keys again, the waitress expresses concern that he get home safely, which he again misreads as a pass (“if you ask where I’m staying tonight”). Our protagonist coyly hints that there is a lucky woman waiting for him at home. But even as he totters toward the door he can’t resist showing off his keen eye, pointing out “You got that ass”, then classing it up by dropping a little French (for he is a man of the world): “Adieu” he belches toward the forest of long long legs, then shuffles out into the night.
