Millie Jackson - If You're Not Back In Love By Monday

Oh man do I love the wild Millie Jackson but this girl is so talented and she has a phenomenal voice!!!  "If You're Not Back In Love By Monday is my favorite Millie Jackson song.  Here are the lyrics - click on the song below and sing along with her.

You can call Mrs. Johnson to
Keep the kids for a day or two
Take the early flight to Florida
Just the way you used to do

Have room service bring you breakfast
Make love all through the day
If you're not back in love by Monday
Then you go your separate way

If you're not back in love by Monday
You can't say you didn't try
But before you bury your love
Just make sure you let it die

Sleep a few more nights together
Say the things that you used to say
And if you're not back in love by Monday
You just go your separate way

You can find that little cafe
With the funny sounding name
Get the corner by the window
Tell him you love him once again

If the disco DJ's still there
Go on, dance til the break of day
If you're not back in love by Monday
Then you go your separate way

If you're not back in love by MondayYou can't say you didn't tryBut before you bury your loveMake sure you let it dieGo on, sleep a few more nights together
Say the things you used to say
If you're not back in love by Monday
Then you go your separate way
Then you go your separate way

Love, love, love this song!

Nelson Curry -" Same Hotel"

Infidelity!  You've probably heard this situation sung a lot of different ways but I love how Nelson Curry tells it. You know the story, both the husband and wife, who each have a sidepiece, are cheating and they all just so happen to be at the same hotel at the same time. And Nelson says that he thought he heard her in the next room! Who can really say anything?  What a mess.

We were at the same hotel at the same old time
You were with your sidepiece and I was with mine
No one ever sees us and nobody don't know
Girl, we were leaving out of separate doors.

You're a liar and I'm a liar, too!
