HOW DO I STOP (LOVING YOU) 8/28/2018 G (open G)
HOW DO I STOP HOW DO I STOP
IT’S LIKE A DRIP DRIPPING FAUCET I CANNOT TURN OFF
THE TRUTH’S PLAIN TO SEE, AND IT’S KILLING ME
HOW DO I STOP - LOVING YOU BABY
HOW DO I STOP LOVING YOU BABY, TELL ME
PAY ME NO MIND

TELL ME THE TRUTH IT’S THE LEAST YOU CAN DO
HOW DO I STOP – LOVING YOU BABY
HOW DO I STOP – LOVING YOU BABY , TELL ME
YOU HAD THE MOUTH OF A LOVER
YOU HAD THE EYES OF A FRIEND
BUT NOW YOU SEEM LIKE A STRANGER
IT’S LIKE YOU DON’T KNOW ME, HERE AT THE END
YOU GO YOUR WAY
YOU GO YOUR WAY
YOU ALWAYS DID, DIDN’T YOU BABE
IT’S BETTER TO KNOW BUT BEFORE YOU GO TELL ME
HOW DO I STOP LOVING YOU BABY
HOW DO I STOP LOVING YOU BABY, TELL ME

Ice Cream Man
Why do i run to you
Like you’re the ice cream man
You just ringin' the same bells
Again and again
All day long
You sing the same old song
All the little girls go runnin runnin runnin
To the ice cream man
You’re sweet and creamy
You’re smooth and bold
Boy, you’re dreamy
But you’re a little too cold
When i call you up
You're already gone
And when you deign to stop
You never linger on
Why do i run to you
Like you’re the ice cream man
All the little girls go runnin runnin runnin
To the ice cream man

Razorburn Blues
Got the razorburn blues they cost me 10 dollars
going down gonna get that mother-for-you holler
be strutting my stuff all along the way
oh, I’ll be strutting my stuff I mean along the way
Got the razorburn blues, everybody knows
come to see you Daddy in my Saturday clothes
but you always wearing your Tuesday overalls
and you always wearing your Tuesday overalls \
I've been zipped up tucked in
pulled back drawn thin
painted on sucked in
brushed on squeezed in
covered up touched up
perfumed shined up
ripped off flattened down
lowered down chopped up
channeled through shined up
smacked around shut up
decorated laminated underappreciated
Now your momma don’t mind if you swing it around
you can take it and carry it all the way downtown
I’m dying by the hour
got the razorburn blues
I’m dying by the good lord hour

BIGGER IN TEXAS
SO I WENT DANCING LAST WEEKEND IN TEXAS
AND MET A NICE MAN OVER BEER
SEE, I LEARNED TO TWO STEP IN LOUISIANA
AND IT’S NOT ALL THAT DIFFERENT OUT HERE
“WE LIKE EVERYTHING BIGGER IN TEXAS”
WAS NEAR THE FIRST THING THAT CAME FROM HIS MOUTH
AND BELIEVE IT OR NOT IT WAS CHARMING
CAUSE THEY KNOW HOW TO FLIRT IN THE SOUTH
WELL, ONE THING JUST LED TO ANOTHER
WE LAUGHED, AND WE STEPPED AND WE WHIRLED.
HE SAID ‘TELL ME YOU’RE COMING TO LIVE HERE’
AND ‘I NEED SOME FOOD, DON’T YOU, GIRL?’
HIS PLATE COULD HAVE FED MY WHOLE FAMILY
INCLUDING MY COUSINS AND AUNTS
AFTER DINNER WE KISSED IN HIS PICKUP
AND FUMBLED WITH BUTTONS AND PANTS
THEN HE PULLED A GLOVE OUT OF HIS GLOVE COMPARTMENT
(HIS TRUCK WAS BIGGER THAN MY APARTMENT)
WE CLIMBED IN BACK AND YOU CAN GUESS THE REST
HE HAD GIANT SHOULDERS AND EYES TO GET LOST IN
AND HIS HEART WAS BIGGER THAN AUSTIN HAS GOTTEN
BUT WHEN PUSH CAME TO SHOVE CAME TO MAKING SOME LOVE
WELL, NOT EVERYTHING’S BIGGER IN TEXAS

TAKE MY ADVICE (DON’T FALL FOR ME)
THERE ARE THINGS I HAVE LEARNED
THAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT LOVE IS BOTH A MIRROR AND A DOOR
THERE’S THE FUTURE WE EARN
AND THE ONES WE LET GO
LIKE WAVING A BOAT FROM THE SHORE
SO IF I STAND BY MY WINDOW
DON’T CLIMB UP MY TREE
EVEN IF I BEG YOU PLEASE
YOU ARE AS KIND
AS A MAN OUGHTA BE
TAKE MY ADVICE- DON’T FALL FOR ME
PERHAPS WE KNEW EACH OTHER
IN ANOTHER LIFE AND TIME
MAYBE IN HAVANA, MAYBE HERE
I BET WE MET IN DANCEHALLS
DOWN SQUALID LITTLE STREETS
WHERE WE COULD MAKE THE WORLD DISAPPEAR
AND IN SOME OTHER DIRTY BAR
WE LIT FIRES IN THE DARK
AND YOUR KISS MADE ME WEAK IN THE KNEES
BUT YOU’RE STILL A GYPSY
AND I AM NOT FREE
TAKE MY ADVICE -DON’T FALL FOR ME
I’LL BE RIGHT HERE
IF YOU PASS THROUGH NEXT YEAR
I HOPE YOU FIND A PLACE THAT FEELS LIKE HOME
MAY YOUR FUTURE BE KIND
AND AS LUCKY AS MINE
AND SENDS YOU SOME LOVE TO CALL YOUR OWN
& I’ll REMEMBER THAT BAR & THAT JUKEBOX
& DANCING SO SLOW AND SO SWEET
WHEN I’M IN MY ROCKING CHAIR
I’LL SMILE WISTFULLY
TAKE MY ADVICE- DON’T FALL FOR ME

Dayna Kurtz New Orleans, Louisiana
Dayna Kurtz is the kind of artist who inspires wild-eyed zealotry among her fans, and there are 3 reasons for it: 1, she's an artist's artist, one whose whiskeyed, determined alto often earns her comparisons with Nina Simone; 2 while Europeans adore her, she's obscenely underappreciated in her own country; and 3, her songs straddle a difficult space between jazz, rock, and folk, & are pure poetry. ... more
