Son Seals – Last Four Nickels lyrics
(wooo hooo! awesome electric guitar entrance! Rockin' drum work)
I took my last four nickels
Put them into the telephone
Tryin' to call my baby
But she's not at home
baby
What's you tryin to do me, girl?
I wanna sell you down
ahhh
The best things in life are free
I took my last hundred dollars
And I bought a gold ring
She said it ain't got no diamond
It won't mean a thing
Baby
What's you tryin to do me?
I wanna sell you, girl
ahhh
The best things in life are free
awwhhh
(serious fret work on guitar solo here)
I took my last two hundred dollars
And I bought a cadillac
They says it sho' looks good
But they wanna take it back
Baby
What's you tryin to do me, girl?
I wanna sell you, girl
ahhh
The best things in life are free
I took my last four nickels
Put them into the telephone
Tryin' to call my baby
But she's not at home
Baby
What's you tryin to do me?
I wanna sell you, girl
ahhh
The best things in life are free
ahhhh...
