Little Walter (B.B. Mix)

[Intro: Tony! Toni! Toné!]

Hey little Walter

Hey little Walter, listen

Hey little Walter

Something's gonna get you little Walter

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 1: Raphael Saadiq]

I had myself a roommate, and Walter was his name

He liked to play strange games

He had a certain hobby, he always loved to do

He thought it was so cool

He started making money, but couldn't pay the rent

It didn't make much sense

So I tried to ask him nicely, when he planned to pay

He said, "I doubt it'll be today"

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]

Hey little Walter

Hey little Walter, listen

Hey little Walter

Something's gonna get you little Walter

[Interlude]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 2: Raphael Saadiq]

Started coming up with clothes I could not buy

And some I could not find

Taking girls to dinner, two at a time

I didn't pay no mind

When I saw him driving a brand new fancy car

I knew he'd gone too far

So when I tried again to ask him could he pay today

Walter said, "Today? No way"

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]

Hey little Walter

Hey little Walter, listen

Hey little Walter

Something's gonna get you little Walter

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3: Raphael Saadiq]

Things were getting serious, I had to set him straight

My landlord could not wait

So I sat him down and told him, "Don't play me for a fool

'Cause I know the things you do"

Things start getting nasty, it broke into fight

I thought it would be short, but it lasted half the night

By the time we were finished, there was a knock at the door

When Walter went to open it, he was blown to the floor

I said now hey

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]

Hey little Walter

Hey little Walter, listen

Hey little Walter

Something's gonna get you little Walter

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

Hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

[Chorus: Tony! Toni! Toné!]

Hey little Walter

Hey little Walter, listen

Hey little Walter

Something's gonna get you little Walter

Hey little Walter

Hey little Walter, listen

Hey little Walter

Something's gonna get you little Walter

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Raphael Saadiq]

Hey little Walter

Hey, hey, hey, hey little Walter

Little, little, little, little, little Walter, hoo, hoo

Something's gonna get you little Walter

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Hey, hey, hey
