Southern Manners Songtext
von The Watson Twins

Well, I can′t tell you why I left you
And I don't quite know why I am here
But nothing has moved my spirit
Since I saw you late last year

Every lover knows a reason
And every woman has felt the same
Although our minds record each heartache
A little lovin′ can take away the pain


Hold me, hold me, hold me close
Caress my shoulders and my toes
Make me forget what I can't
Be my lover and my friend

A man who gives you all you need (ooh)
Some money to spend and a kiss when you please (ooh)
When you broke down on the road (ooh)
He'll come on by and lighten your load

Well, I guess I owe you something too (ooh)
Well, it seems you′ve finally come on through (ooh)
And my southern manners do oblige (ooh)
Won′t you come on over for a slice of pie?


Hold me, hold me, hold me close
Caress my shoulders and my toes
Make me forget what I can't
Be my lover and my friend
