Bulldogs & Angels

from Blind Spot by The Lucky Losers

/

about

A romantic, smooth, saxed up, vintage R&B song about love, hope, and ... taking it to the streets.

lyrics

Don’t abuse this feeling
Bring it out into the street
I can hear that bulldog barkin’
And he’s nippin’ at my feet…bring it on out

Don’t know where I’m goin’
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
Think I’ll hold onto this feelin’
‘Til I find someone like you…to bring it on out

Such a mean ol’ world, baby
When you’re livin’ life all alone
Sometimes you think you’ve seen it all
Until it chills you to the bone
There’s way too many people
Livin’ & Dyin’ on their feet
I’m gonna take this balled-up feeling
Bring it out into the street

It doesn’t really matter
Where you been or what you’ve done
Don’t you know you got to taste the rain
Before you can see the sun…bring it on out
No need for you to think about it
It’s the price you’ve got to pay
Sometimes you need a little angel
To help you find a way…to bring it on out

It’s a restless hungry feeling
That you just don’t want to know
When a bulldog starts to clampin’ (down)
He ain’t never gonna let go
Don’tcha show no fear…don’t hesitate
He’s just tellin’ you to keep movin’ on
The darkest hour of the night
Is always right before the dawn

So bring it on out

Last verse
