Lyrics
On a hot sweaty summer day
Bartholomew's mind was drifting away
Same old fears coming back around
Same old tears that never hit the ground
Said "why are other people always getting in my head?"
Trying to think exactly what it was he said
Ain't got the time to be fighting all these fights
So he called her up, he called her up that night
Chorus:
He said, I'm coming right down
Right down through to your door
Now Bartholomew was a very tough man
But around his woman he was putty in her hand
She said "it's over Bartholomew, please don't try to fight"
"Please give me one more chance," he said, "I've made a wrong and I've got to right it."
When he came upon that door he felt something changing
Way deep down inside his soul, his priorities were rearranging
(chorus)
So he finally knocked on the door
and Lisa said, "come in."
But the look on her face said, "you better not do that again."
Bartholomew knew
In that moment his life would be defined
And he understood
their fates were intertwined
So he leaned right over, and he whispered in her ear
He whispered softly, but he made it very clear
That he wasn't going nowhere, and in fact was there to stay
And Bartholomew and Lisa are together to this day
He said, "I love you, girl, and I ain't afraid to say it no more."
