Lyrics - Play Something Sweet (brickyard Blues) by Three Dog Night

Well,
I tried to run my game
She said "
Man, that's the same old thing
I've heard before"
And
I'm too tired to go for your show(again and again)
And she started to explain
She said "
Man,
I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it
But
I can't take it anymore"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mellow
Play somethin'
I can sink my teeth in like
Jello
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
Well,
I started to sweat
She said "
Don't get upset, 'cause you just might break a string and that won't do a thingfor your show"
So
I said to myself
I said, "
Self, do you see what is sailin' through my soul?"
And
I gotta have some more, don't ya know
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
Play somethin'
I can sink my teeth in like
Jello
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
It's enough to make it light the dark
It's enough to make a bite just a bark
It's enough to make a body move around
It's enough to make a rabbit hug a dog
Play somethin' sweet
Well,
I tried to run my game
She said, "
Man, that's the same old thing
I've heard before
And
I'm too tired to go for your show"(again and again)
And she started to explain
She said, "
Man,
I ain't sayin' what you're playin' just can't make it, but
I just can't take itany more"
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
Play somethin'
I can sink my teeth in like
Jello
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
Play somethin' sweet, play somethin' mello
Play somethin'
I can sink my teeth in like
Jello
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
Play somethin' sweet and make it funky
Just let me lay back and grin like a monkey
Play something
I can understand
Play me some
Brickyard
Blues
