Samm Henshaw – East Detriot Lyrics

 

East Detriot Lyrics by Samm Henshaw

 

We said Paris all spring
Made names for the offspring
Colours for the vows
Where are you right now?
We made plans for all things
But our dreams were just dreams
Dreams don’t work sometimes
It stays on my mind

I had dreams of making love from scratch (Love from scratch)
You had tendencies and mine could match (Mine could match)
And I’d do anything to bring that back (Brings us over here)
But time don’t go in rewind, no

Roadways stay paved with good intentions
Lead to bad days
We’ll wait, get the money, we’re the O’Jays
Why can’t we just go back to the old days
Old days, like we used to be

Baby, it’s 4AM in East Detroit
And I’d to anything to hear your voice, your voice
It gets so lonely when your heart is broken
I was hoping we could talk it out
Maybe we could talk it out

4AM I’m fine (I’m fine)
But you’ve been on my mind
I can’t lie
Can’t be the first to call
My pride won’t let me fall
Not this time
Time heals everything but this wound
Baby, I’m so tired of sleeping in the guest room
Wondering what you’re doing in the next room and
Make your next move, yeah
Your best move

Baby, it’s 4AM in East Detroit
And I’d to anything to hear your voice, your voice
It gets so lonely when your heart is broken
I was hoping we could talk it out
Maybe we could talk it out
(Oh, baby we could talk it out, yeah)

Roadways stay paved with good intentions
Lead to bad days
We’ll wait, get the money, we’re the O’Jays
Why can’t we just go back to the old days
Old days, like we used to be

Roadways stay paved with good intentions
Lead to bad days
We’ll wait, get the money, we’re the O’Jays
Why can’t we just go back to the old days
Old days, like we used to be
