David Bowie
It’s Gonna Be Me (Live ’74)
[Intro]

[Verse 1]
Hey Jack, I better shake it off
Put her out of my head
The thinking of all, just another young girl last night
Oh brother! I left a woman
In that morning day
Been on that trip so many times
Good God, was really yesterday

[Verse 2]
I've tried so many, many, many, many, many
Many ways
I've lied and taken off into the day
Leaving another girl to
Weep over the breakfast tray
Loved her before I knew her name
Hit me! Jack, 'cause I'm
Gone, love her way

[Chorus]
Come back, my babe
Come back, my babe
Be holy again, I gave her
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Maybe, gotta give her, ooh baby, baby, baby
That kind of love, can only destroy
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Get it down if I'm gonna be her baby, 'cos, baby
Gonna be me, it's gonna be me
[Verse 3]
There was no rein to check me
When all those little things walked on by
Oh! but I couldn't feel this, stammer out a word
When that angel stuck in my mind
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Lookin' for love won't hold me back
No
I'm gonna love her way

[Chorus]
Come back, my babe
Come back, my babe
Be holy again, I gave her
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Maybe, gotta give her, ooh baby, baby, baby
That kind of love, can only destroy
I gave her, maybe, maybe
Get it down if I'm gonna be her baby, 'cos, baby
Gonna be me, it's gonna be me

[Saxophone Solo]

[Verse 4]
Just playing that latest record
Waitin' for the telephone to ring
Wiped out and bitter, with a
Bag clutched in her hand
All the cars sound like they're
Pulling in the drive
No, no, no, no, no
[Bridge]
I see her now
A little tear running down her check
Laugh! Let down
People looking for me
I want to race down her street
And knock hard, hard, hard on the door 'til
Until she breaks down in my arms like a
Treasured toy and I feel her pain
I'll be so strong, again and again

[Chorus]
Come back my baby
I'm hold you again, I'll take you
I'll take you, baby, baby, baby
Baby, we're gonna have, ooh baby, baby, baby
My kind of love, can only bring you joy, I'm gonna
Yeah, baby, baby, yeah, I'll give you baby, baby, baby
'Cos it's gonna be me, it's gonna be me

[Outro]
It's gonna be me
Ooh
