Kim Wilson Lyrics
Baby Please Don't Lie to Me Baby please, baby please don't lie to me Baby please, baby…
Blues Leave Me Alone Blues, blues tryin' to drive me away from home Blues, blues…
Boogie All Night (Harmonica Intro) A-boogie-woogie baby, boogie all night …
Don't Bite the Hand That Feeds You When a friend betrays You can hit rock bottom Love and trust…
Don't Touch Me Baby please, baby please don't lie to me Baby please, baby…
Good Time Charlie Mr. Worldwide checkin' in I just wanna say, Charlie Wilson…
I'm Leaving You I don't know what's wrong with me I've been foolish as…
She Moves Me Real early in the morning 'Fore the birds begin to fly She…
Time Is on My Side Time is on my side, yes it is Time oh, is…
