I like to think about the time I met you, living with your people down in New Orleans.
Mad at your mama cause she'd never let you ride in no nasty limousine.
Later on the levee with the moon up above, I lost my heart and confessed my love,
Oh Lucy, now, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that, somehow.
Does me no damn good.

One Summer night in a field of wheat, God's sweet lanterns hanging in the sky.
Moving light on your tiny feet, I knew I had to love you till the day I die.
They talk about Amazing Grace, it meant something when I saw your face.
Oh Lucy, now, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout that.
Oh, Lucy, babe, can't stop thinkin' bout you.

I think of all the little things that I never told you, I think I may get to hold you someday.
It's my brain just like a man possessed, I can't do me no work, I can't get me no rest,
I can't understand it baby.

Don't like to think about the way it ended, I hate remembering the things that I said.
I dream a dream of love so splendid, I wake up hard in an empty bed.
I wonder who'll be loving you next, some fool will be writing bad checks.
Oh, Lucy, God have mercy, I've got to stop thinkin' 'bout you.

Wrong song for the page or wrong page for the song? I'm listing to "Shower The People" and the page shows info for "(I've got to) Stop Thinkin' Bout That". Whoops?

Guess I won't rate, since I'm not sure which song will get rated. :)
The lyrics swim around through an emotion muck of quagmire that evoke an eternal sadness recalling that time when my actions set off a cascade of ruin, lies, deceit masking carnality that belongs no more. Peter and Paul face off their zealot beliefs so I can ride them for awhile. It doesn’t end, ever, never ...

I'm not sure why there isn't much JT on RP. I'm not talking about all the hits, but this one should get a listen. I like his arrangement of horns with his 80's / 90's stuff. Slight jazz influence too.
