"Over My Head" lyrics - ROOMFUL OF BLUES

Well, it happens every mornin'
Way into the night
Somethin' kinda' funky
You know, somethin' ain't right
I'm flaggin' down the driver
'Cause the time is gettin' late
But the driver won't stop here
So I guess I'll have to wait

And all I really want
Is a little bit more
Than I'm ever gonna get
Lord I can't swim
But you know I jumped in
Now I'm over my head

I buzzed your elevator
Gonna catch you where you hide
Oh, but somewhere in the middle
You know the motor went and died
I call you on the weekend
To see if we can make the scene
But there's no one here to talk to
So I talk to your machine

And, ooh what's it gonna be
And why, you got this hoodoo on me
And all I really want
Is a little bit more
Than I'm ever gonna get
Lord I can't swim
But you know I jumped in
Now I'm over my head

Say, all I really want
Is a little bit more
Than I'm ever gonna get
Lord I can't swim
But you know I jumped in
Now I'm over my head
Yes I'm over my head
Yes I'm over my head

Hey boss, I'm the hoodoo man
I put the monkey paw in your hand
Bad luck is what it's gonna be
Bad luck is good business for me

And, ooh what's it gonna be
And why, you got this hoodoo on me
And all I really want
Is a little bit more
Than I'm ever gonna get
Lord I can't swim
But you know I jumped in
Now I'm over my head

Say, all I really want
Is a little bit more
Than I'm ever gonna get
Lord I can't swim
But you know I jumped in
Now I'm over my head
Yes I'm over my head
Yes I'm over my head
