Song title: Soothe me
(Cooke) by Sam and Dave (Stax 218), 1966
Soothe me
soothe me baby, soothe me
soothe me with your kindness
for you know your powerful love is
soothin' to me
oh how i used to ramble
& how i used to roam
oh but since i met that baby of mine
all i do is stay at home, & i tell her
Chorus:
oh i used to have a lot of girls
have them big & small
oh but since i met that baby of mine
i know no other girls at all; i just tell her
(Chorus)
it's so soothin' to me
your love, babe, is soothin' to me
