sam cooke

so i've been in this sam cooke phase for about two years now, and sometimes i really believe what he's singing. i really get what he's trying to say because he put so much emotion in his voice. the lyrics are great, but without his voice, i doubt they came across the same way. perhaps i'll do a study of various sam cooke covers someday. either way, the man was fucking brilliant! thank you, sam.

Cupid

Yeah, come on and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

One more time, come on & let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

Gotta tell you, evenin' sun is sinkin' low
The clock on the wall say it's time to go
I got my plans I don't know about you
I'll tell you exactly what I'm gonna do

Get in the groove and let the good times roll
I'm gonna stay here till I soothe my soul
If it take all night long
Yeah everybody let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

Yeah, it might be one o'clock and it might be three
Time don't mean that much to me
I've felt this good since I don't know when
And I might not feel this good again

So come on and let the good times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long

And all night (all night) and all night (all night)
And all night (all night) and all night long (all night)
Somebody said it might take all night long
And all night (all night) and all night (all night), so
Come on and let the goot times roll
We're gonna stay here till we soothe our souls
If it take all night long
