Sadie (Live) - The Spinners

This song goes out to my mother - The one I loved and the one I lost - When it Comes down to thinking about what my mother's done for me, the love she's given Me. - It makes it easy to do a song like this - So this ones for you mom I love You Early one Sunday morning / Breakfast was on the table / There was no time to Eat / She said to me boy hurry to Sunday school / Filled with the long of glory We learned the holy story / She'll always have her dreams / Despite the things / This troubled world can bring. CHORUS Oh Sadie don't you know we love you sweet Sadie Place No one above you sweet Sadie Well Well Well Living in the past Sometimes it seems so funny, no money can turn your life around Sweeter than cotton candy / Stronger than papas' old Brandy/ Always that needed Smile / Once in awhile she would break down and cry / Sometimes she'd be so Happy / Being with us and daddy / Standing the worst of times / Breaking the Binds with just a simple song CHORUS Oh Sadie - She's Loving my song in a special way - Sweet Sadie - Living in the Past - Oh she's never sinning in Love she's always winnin - my my my my my - I Love you mama - I just can't forget how you gave me love oh no - If there's a Heaven up above I know she's teaching angels how to love - Its a mean world Without ya - and I surely miss you much mother - and now that your gone I'm Gonna carry on - Cause your cryin lady - ooh sadie - When I think about the Things that you done for me - Hey it brings a joy way down deep inside of me - Oh oh oh oo oh - See I love you mama - Yes I do - I'll never forget you mama no Oh oh oh

When you're young you're made of mistakes You throw your heart and you watch it break And it doesn't take long to lose a little faith in love Or can we take it back to your mom and dad's We were happy kids but the songs were sad And it didn't take long for you to believe in us Oh, we both said stuff we didn't mean to say Woke up pissed off, shouting the pain away I, I, I, I hope that you're listenin' S-S-S-Sadie, I know that you've been hurtin' lately But you know that I got you, girl I'd start a riot for you I'd fall in the fire for you, Sadie Tell your boyfriend I'm your best friеnd I don't care if he's got a problem I ain't goin' nowhеre 'cause I know you better than him Oh, we both said stuff we didn't mean to say Woke up pissed off, shouting the pain away I, I, I, I hope that you're listenin' S-S-S-Sadie, I know that you've been hurtin' lately But you know that I got you, girl I'd start a riot for you I'd fall in the fire for you, Sadie If you need to keep, keep me waiting Just do what you got to, girl I'd start a riot for you I'd fall in the fire for you Sadie, you can wait, you can wait on me Sadie put your faith, put your faith on me You ain't gotta change, gotta change a thing Sadie, you can wait, you can wait on me Sadie, put your faith, put your faith on me You ain't gotta change, gotta change a thing Sadie, I know that you've been hurtin' lately But you know that I got you, girl I'd start a riot for you I'd fall in the fire for you, Sadie If you need to keep keep me waiting Just do what you got to, girl I'd start a riot for you I'd fall in the fire for you, Sadie I know that you've been hurtin' lately But you know that I got you, girl

In a world like today It's a rare occasion to be able To see young mothers like the ones That were around when I grew up But they live on in memory To quite a few of us And this song is dedicated To those who cherish that memory Early one Sunday morning Breakfast was on the table There was no time to eat She said to me, "Boy, hurry to Sunday school" Filled with her load of glory We learned the holy story She'll always have her dreams Despite the things this troubled world can bring Oh, Sadie Don't you know we love you Sweet Sadie Place no one above you Sweet Sadie (well, well, well) Living in the past Some times it seems so funny But no money will turn your life around Sweeter than cotton candy Stronger than papa's old brandy Always that needed smile Once in awhile she would break down and cry Some times she'd be so happy Just being with us and daddy Standing the worst of times Breaking the binds with just a simple song Oh, Sadie (oh, Sadie, baby) Don't you know we love you (she'll love us all in a special way) Sweet Sadie (well, well, well) Place no one above you Sweet Sadie (sweet Sadie livin' in the past) Living in the past Oh, she's never sinnin' In love she's always winnin, yeah Sadie (My, my, my, my, my) Don't you know we love you (I love you, mama) Sweet Sadie Place no one above you (I just can't forget) Sweet Sadie (how you gave me love, oh, Lord) Living in the past If there's a heaven up above I know she's teaching angels how to love Sadie (It's a mean world without you) Don't you know we love you Sweet Sadie (all the love you showed) Place no one above you (oh, I could never, ever doubt her lovely word) Sweet Sadie Living in the past Ain't it funny that in the end it's not money It's just the love you gave us all
