Take What I Can Get - Dr. John

If finders were keepers,

I’d still be at home

Take it or leave it,

I’ll show you the ropes

When you no longer see me

I’ll be gone

So much for answers,

I don’t have a clue

I can hear ya,

you’re calling from outside my room

You’re still locked inside me,

Holding on

So I take what i can get

So I take what i can get

If you are coming home

I’ll be out on my own

I don’t need you

To give me back the open wounds But if you start to shed your skin Naked heart

— wearing thin

When you call

I’ll be here,

Once again

So I take what I can get
