Lyrics for LaFutura
Does anyone have the lyrics for:
1) I Don't Wanna Lose, Lose You (all the lyric sites have the wrong lyrics)
2) Drive by Lover
3) Threshold Of A Breakdown
I have lyrics for the rest of the LaFutura songs though I think there are plenty of wrong words. I have never understood why ZZ Top has never placed lyrics on ALL of the CDs/Albums as opposed to just a few. It's alot like trying to figure out what a young Johnny Winter is singing.
Any help? Thanks.

Okay, I'll help on "I Don't Wanna Lose, Lose, You.
Everyplace you see a long line, the lyrics are missing. Keep in mind, where you do see lyrics, they may not be correct.
I DON’T WANNA LOSE, LOSE YOU
Shirley and Slim, standing on the corner,
trying to find a way ________________________another quarter
_______________________ just another piece of cake
______________________________________.
CHORUS
I don’t wanna lose, lose you,
I don’t wanna lose, lose you,
I don’t wanna lose, lose you,
I don’t wanna lose you.
___________________________________________ getting kind-a high
Keep it in my pocket ‘til it ____________________ runnin’ shy
Over and over til the day is done, ______________________.
Chorus – above
_________________________, whiskey and wine, you know it’s just a matter of time.
I don’t wanna lose you.
Inst. Break
Yeah just like the dead man laying about,
don’t wanna ______________________ inside out
_____________________________________, you I’m, I’m speaking the truth.
Chorus – above
Gtr. Solo
Lose, lose you – repeat -
RE: Lyrics for LaFutura
Here's my take on I Don't Wanna Lose, Lose You... (Probably screwed something up here and there)
Shorty and Slim just standing on the corner,
trying to find a way I gotta burn another quarter
Half ounce in hand, just another piece of cake
Getting dough is hard to make. (?)
CHORUS
I don’t wanna lose, lose you,
I don’t wanna lose, lose you,
I don’t wanna lose, lose you,
I don’t wanna lose you.
Always on the down-low, getting kinda high
Keep it in my pocket ‘til it starts runnin’ shy
Over and over til the day is done, twenty pounds, cut 'n run.
Chorus – above
Then _____ said, whiskey and wine, you know it’s just a matter of time.
I don’t wanna lose you.
Inst. Break
Yeah just like the dead man laying about,
don’t wanna run short or turn inside out
She don't lie, and that's the bad news,
You know it, I’m speaking the truth.
Chorus – above
Gtr. Solo
Lose, lose you – repeat -
Re: Lyrics for LaFutura
Drive-By Lover (best I can tell)
Well, if I'm seeing what I'm seeing in my neighborhood
If seeing is believing, she sure looks good
She got the kind of look that makes a grown man cry
Believe I'll turn around and drive back by
She's my drive-by lover (x2)
I can't get enough of her lovin' stuff
There's girls that want my money
There's girls that want my time
But my drive-by lover leaves 'em all behind
Believe I'll turn around and drive back by
(chorus)
(guitar solo)
She's my drive-by lover (x3)
I can't get enough, can't get enough -
Re: Lyrics for LaFutura
Threshold of a Breakdown ... harder to get...not sure it's all correct, but it's the best I can get from my copy.
It's not anything that you wanna see
Or anything you wanna feel
But baby, I can tell you like I tell myself
This insanity's entirely real
I'm seeing sticks in the mud
And veins with no blood
And the trouble not far behind
I'm hearing voices in my head
Can't tell you what they're saying
I'm afraid of all the shit I might find
I'm on the threshold, and it's knocking me upside down
I'm on the threshold, threshold of a breakdown
I feel the devil's jaws
Got me in his claws
Standing at the gates of Hell
Let me tell ya, Jack,
I'm about to dip and fall back
I ain't feeling so well
(chorus)
(guitar solo)
(chorus)
Tippin' on the hollow ground
Bitter aggravation
Vicious violation
Wait til it happens to you
Threshold of a breakdown (x4)
(fade out) -
RE: Lyrics for LaFutura
MonkeyBabylon: Great job. It appears you too are a musician by the layout of the lyrics. I have played ZZ Top since I was 19, but, I have never been very good at figuring out what the lyrics are, only the music. I mostly play Gibson's as a Lead and Rhythm Guitarist.
For "I Don't Wanna, Lose, Lose, You" the only thing I changed was where you had an underline instead of a word you couldn't understand. That line is "Mississippi Sam, whiskey and wine, you know it’s just a matter of time.
I don’t wanna lose you.
I think that's correct as there is another song called "Black Jack Fletcher And Mississippi Sam". So , the reference to whiskey and wine is there when using Mississippi Sam.
Thanks buddy, great job.
P.S.: All 500 of the Lyric websites have "Gloria Estefan's ... Don't Wanna Lose You", in place of ZZ Top's "I Don't Wanna Lose, Lose, You" and absolutely none of them will make the correction. As we know it's all about advertising dollars, so wrong lyrics from a wrong song still draws the fly's in hopes of making a few bucks. Thanks again. -
