Sweet Music

I formed an instant bond to the powerful voice of Etta James years ago when I was introduced to her by my then roommate, current hetero-life mate Cassie Mae.
Only last week did I finally buy a CD.

And my goodness, if she doesn't speak right to my heart. It's like, a soundtrack for life. Ahhh.

Cheesy, I know. But for real. I feel it. Especially after certain events that recently went down. I feel like she is sending me messages from the past, telling me to just go for it. If you don't put yourself out there, you won't get hurt, but you won't succeed either.

"I don't want nobody
If i can't have you
oh i can't love nobody
unless i'm loving you

The way you hug me
The way you squeeze me
The way you kiss me
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
if i can't have you

i can't talk to nobody
unless i'm talking to you
i don't wanna hold nobody
unless i'm holding you

The way you hug me
The way you squeeze me
The way you kiss me
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
if I can't have you

i can't be kissing nobody
unless i'm kissing you
i just don't i just don't i just don't want to be bothered with nobody
unless i'm bothered with you

The way you hug me
The way you squeeze me
The way you kiss me
ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
if I can't have you"
