Love Somebody to Death Songtext

von Merle Haggard

(Red Lane - Glenn Martin)

I ain't never robbed or beat up on nobody
I ain't never failed no lie detector test
But tomorrow I'm gonna be the town's most wanted man
But tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

I'm gonna shave shower shine my shoes and shampoo
Break out my pinstriped suit with the matching vest
Climb in my four hundred horse widetrack rollin' apartment van
Tonight I'm gonna lay some heart to rest.

Tomorrow my face will be all over the post office wall
The town will put a price upon my head
I'm gonna be some happy lady's most wanted man
Cause tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

Gonna grab her, kiss her, squeeze her, please her and show her no mercy
Premeditated lovin' at its best
It'll take seven days to get the smile off the corpus delightee
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

--- Instrumental ---

See that shady character smilin' on the six o'clock news
Front page color Assiciated Press
You'll be looking at some happy lady's most wanted man
Cause tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

I'm gonna grab her, kiss her, squeeze her, please her and show her no mercy
Premeditated lovin' at its best
It'll take seven days to get the smile off the corpus delightee
Yeah, tonight I'm gonna love somebody to death.

And baby it's gonna be you think about it now...
