The Dock of the Bay (Sittin' On) Songtext

von Otis Redding

...
I thought that I've been hurt before
But no one's ever left me quite this sore
Your words cut deeper than a knife

Now I need someone to breathe me back to life
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive
If I quit calling you my lover

Move on
You watch me bleed till I can't breathe
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Achin' begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses

I'll be needing stitches
Just like a moth drawn to a flame
Oh, you lured me in, I couldn't sense the pain
Your bitter heart cold to a touch

Now I'm gonna reap what I sow
I'm left seeing red on my own
Got a feeling that I'm going under
But I know that I'll make it out alive

If I quit calling you my lover
Move on
You watch me bleed till I can't breathe
I'm shaking, falling onto my knees

And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Achin' begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Needle and a thread, gotta get you out of my head
Needle and a thread, gonna wind up dead
Needle and a thread, gotta get you out of my head
Needle and a thread, gonna wind up dead
Needle and a thread, gotta get you out of my head
Needle and a thread, gonna wind up dead
Needle and a thread, gotta get you out of my head, get you out of my head
You watch me bleed until I can't breathe
Shaking, falling onto my knees
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
Tripping over myself
Achin' begging you to come help
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
And now that I'm without your kisses
I'll be needing stitches
