So Glad You're Mine
Big Boy Crudup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She's like a cannonball.
Say, everytime she loves me,
Lordly, you can hear me squall.
She cried, Ooo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".
My baby knows just how
To treat me right.
Gives me plenty loving
Morning, noon, and night.
She cried, Ooo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".
When my baby does what she does to me,
I climb the highest mountain,
Dive in the deepest sea.
She cried, Ooo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".
My baby's lips are red
And sweet like wine,
And when she kisses me,
I get high every time.
She cried, Oo-wee.
I believe I'll change my mind.
She said, "I'm so glad I'm living".
I cried, "I'm so glad you're mine".

AI MUSIC BY DERICK DANTAS
The version singed by Raul Seixas (RIP 1989 Brazil) is awesome! - A versão do Raul Seixas (Falecido em 1989 no Brasil) ficou muito da hora!
IcanFartLOUD
this is blues, Elvis heated this up and made it hot rock and roll
Freddy Snip
@IcanFartLOUD Sorry to disagree on your opinion, Elvis treated it as a blues too, did it a tad faster maybe, but I wouldn't wanna call it rock and roll. Hound Dog was a blues too, Elvs defo heated that one up, and sped it up to a rock and roll tempo.
Johnny Rocker
@Freddy Snip Elvis's version is definitely Rock n Roll. No question about it.
