oldjembo I get a ton of recommendations to listen to. This track really leapt out at me. Great retro feel. A collision of R&B and Rock & Roll. Terrific stuff.

lyrics

Every day I’m getting higher
Getting higher every day
Hard to satisfy me
The taste of you still lingers
And I can’t stop calling your name
Each week is the same ole thing
Either in my head or in my bed
Always
In my head and in my bed

I thought you wanted him
I thought you wanted him
Even when I was yours

You always seemed to chase something new
I thought you wanted him hey
I thought you wanted him
But you always end up
All tangled up
I thought you wanted him
but you’re always
here with me

At work
I’m on the wire

Walking that line just doing my time
And my friends come around me
I only find myself wanting you
And I can’t stop calling your name
Every week is the same damn thing
Oh your in my head, your in my bed
Always
In my head or in my bed

I can’t stop calling your name
