One Thing Left Lyrics


She walked in, I tipped my hat
She said, "Boy don't you look at me like that"And I said, "No, you know I got no game"
"Oh, but you can love me just the same"She said "Boy, my mama told me all about boys like you"
"You talk so sweet then you leave me blue"
"Is that what you think you're about to do"I said, "No, I'm just sittin' here singing a song"
"Don't want to do nobody wrong"
"You'll find out before long"Tonight's just all about having fun
Maybe I'll see you when it's done
We'll talk about things that are making you blue
Till there's one thing left to doShe sat down right in front of the stage
And everybody was so amazedPut a cigarette right between her lips
Before she could light it, the sax man shot right from the hipShe said, "No, my mama told me all about boys like him"
"Walking around with that sly grin"
"All he wants is a night of sin"Tonight's just all about having fun
Maybe I'll see you when it's done
We'll talk about things that are making you blue
Till there's one thing left to doAnd I just need some conversation
And I won't tell too many liesI know it's a sticky situation

But I think I saw that twinkle in your eyesTonight's just all about having fun
Maybe I'll see you when it's done
We'll talk about things that are making you blue
Till there's one thing left to doWell we played till the police closed us down
Drank our drinks till the morning came aroundShe said, "Boy, everything you told me was true"
"I forgot about my blues, what are you going to do"I said, "My mama told me all about girls like you"
"Talk a big game and then you leave me blue"
"Is that what you think you're about to do"She said, "No, I never met a man that's quite like you"
"I think I'm gonna let my mama do the worrying too"
"What you gonna do"You know tonight was so much fun
And I hate to see it's done
I forgot all my blues
Now there's one thing left to do

Enjoy the lyrics !!!
Edwin McCain (born January 20, 1970 in Greenville, South Carolina) is an alternative and indie rock guitar player. While his albums are released under his name, he does have a permanent band, referred to as the Edwin McCain Band. Members of the band as of 2007 include Larry Chaney, lead guitar; Pete Riley, rhythm guitar and background vocals; Craig Shields, saxophone and keyboards; Manny Yames, bass guitar; and Peter Alexander, drums.

After signing a contract with the Atlantic Records label Lava Records in 1994, his first major-label album, Honor Among Thieves, was issued in 1995. His second album, Misguided Roses, spawned I'll Be, a major single in 1998. Two more albums (Messenger and Far From Over) followed, but at the end of 2001, he split from Lava. In 2003 he released a collection of acoustic versions of songs both old and new called The Austin Sessions via ATC Records, a Nashville-based independent record label (at which McCain was the first artist signed following its creation in 2001). Mid-2004 saw the arrival of his first studio album in three years, entitled Scream & Whisper, which was released on another indie label, DRT Entertainment.

He has released two DVDs to date. The first was through ATC records in late 2002, called Mile Marker: Songs and Stories from the Acoustic Highway, and it consisted of interviews, live performances, and other material. The other was in late 2004, Tinsel & Tap Shoes. It was his first live concert DVD, recorded at The House of Blues in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina.

A new CD was released in April, 2006 titled, Lost In America. Edwin recently signed a contract with Vanguard Records. This album (#8) is said to be a true "rock 'n roll" collection.
