Lyrics

You’re the Violin

Some beat me like a drum

Some stroke me like a guitar

Some shake me like a tambourine

Some beat me into the wall

In the song of my life

Baby, you're the violin

Some blow me like a horn

Some slide me like a trombone

Some smoke me like a tuba dude

Some cut me like a saxophone

In the song of my life

Baby, you're the violin

When you touch me like you touch me

Don't it feel like a summer breeze

When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya

It brings me to my knees

Think I'm makin' love to you

Sweet Baby, Ya

When you touch me like you touch me

Well, don't it feel like a summer breeze

When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya

It brings me to my knees

Think I'm makin' love to you

Sweet Baby, Ya

Some beat me like a drum

Some stroke me like a guitar

Sh-sh-sh-shake me like a tambourine

Some beat me into the wall

In the song of my life

Baby, you're the violin

In the song of my life

Baby, you're the violin
