6. Gimme Little Somethin' Take Her Off My Mind

Gimme Little Something Take Her Off My Mind - Tim O’Brien and Gary Nicholson / No Bad Ham Music / Gary Nicholson Music admin by Sony / ATV Music Publishing / ASCAP

Went to the doctor down on my knees
Cryin mercy doctor can you help me please
I got bad heart trouble and I’m sinkin fast
My breath’s so short it might be my last
Never been the kind to whine and complain
Just never knew a woman that could cause such pain
Put a limp in my walk, a hole in my soul
She left me spinnin all out of control

Just gimme little something take her off my mind
Something much stronger than whiskey or wine
Gotta be some drug I haven’t heard of yet
That can help a poor loser find a way to forget
I may never leave her memory behind
But I gotta have something take her off my mind
Yeah gimme little something take her off my mind

Threw out all the pictures up and down the hall
But I still see her face when I stare at the wall
Alone in the room where we used to sit
Her empty seat fills me with regret
I saw her walkin the streets with her new man
Smiling and laughin and holdin hands
Just like a knife it twists inside
The kind of hurt no man can hide

Chorus & solo on verse

Last chorus and repeat:
Just gimme little something take her off my mind
Something much stronger than whiskey or wine
Gotta be some drug I haven’t heard of yet
That can make a poor loser find a way to forget
I may never leave her memory behind (– to repeat chorus)
But I gotta have something take her off my mind
Yeah gimme little something take her off my mind
Gotta be some drug I haven’t heard of yet
That can make a poor loser find a way to forget
I may never leave her memory behind
But I gotta have something take her off my mind,
Yeah gimme little something take her off my mind
But I gotta have something take her off my mind,
Yeah gimme little something take her off my mind
