The first of these, Delbert & Glen is, despite their California transplantation, very much a Texas record, blending blues, country, soul, gospel, and rock & roll. The feel of the album is very much that of a seasoned bar band, albeit a bar band with mostly original material. It wasn't the kind of thing that was going to set the charts afire in 1972, though surprisingly enough the pensive ballad "I Received a Letter" sneaked into the bottom of the Top 100. There's an amiable young-veteran air to the record, though it's weighed down some by a few routine straight blues workouts. Several of the songs might be more familiar to some listeners in different versions: the Blues Brothers did "'B' Movie Box Car Blues," Rita Coolidge had already done "I Feel the Burden (Being Lifted Off My Shoulders)," Bonnie Raitt (with whom Clark would play keyboards) did "Sugar Daddy" (as "Sugar Mama"), and McClinton himself would remake "Ain't What You Eat but the Way How You Chew It," "'B' Movie Box Car Blues," and "I Received a Letter" on his solo albums.

Sugar Daddy
Delbert & Glen Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

All of me belongs to you all the time
You're the only one that's ever on my mind
There's not one way that I would ever be untrue
There's not one single part of me
That don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you

Eyes are worthless cause you're not here to see

Lips are so forgotten since you forgotten me
My arms ached from reaching out to you the way they do
There's not one single part of me
That don't miss you through and through
All of me belongs to you

Fingers claw the darkness in my dreams
Searching for a love I lost but can't redeem
I'm yours and I can't give my heart to someone new

Not one single part of me that my heart don't include
All of me belongs to you, all of me belongs to you
