Bridges, Leon - Twistin' And Groovin' Lyrics






I got a call from my baby, said she fed up with me
Said she's found another lover in another city
Said she's doing fine in New Orleans

Now she got me pacing, huh, wondering where'd I go wrong
Got me going in circles like the merry-go-round
Gonna take the west train to Louisiana in the morning

Sweet little girl from the ninth ward of New Orleans
The way she dancing, you could see her from Tennessee
Up under that red dress are legs long as the bayou trees
She got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in the room

She's a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
Baby, would you be my queen?
All right now

Her name was Eartha was her name, I could never forget
Just like the way she dipped on the bronze-tiled floor
Honey was movin' with ease, each and every step
So good that baby had my eyes at her glow
No shiny jewelry, still the brightest thing illuminatin' the room

That girl is twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
Baby, would you be my queen?

Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in that room

That girl is a-twistin' and a-groovin', shakin' and a-movin'
She don't know what she doin' to me, I
Love the way that you dance, and honey, I've got a question:
Baby, would you be my queen?

Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Ooh, ooh, baby
Mmm, that baby got a golden smile, I know she's the one for me in that room

    I wish for nothing more than Leon to be the person to make 50’s and 60’s music a fad again. (No I’m not an old boomer, just a young 30-something-year-old who grew up in the ghetto but appreciates all genres of music).

    Mr. Bridges, I just happened to catch Your show, late on PBS, about a week ago. Absolutely blown away as I watched it with My Brother. You talked at the end about How You, couldn't believe how far,You had come in a year's Time. Congratulation's on pushing the envelope and making Your Dream's Happen. It gave Me motivation, to seek out and Finish the screenplay, I've started and have on the backburner. Give My appreciation to The Band, and Hope to See You All in Phoenix,September 04. If You have any Backstage passes, I am planning on taking My other Brother, as well. The individual 8 Years my senior, who introduced Me to the Finest music, that I pretty much have in My archives. I would like to Return that, by introducing Him, to Your Music. Keep playing with "The Passion," in Your soul, and Please, stay away from the downfall's of life. Thank You, Sir.

  85. P.... R....

    Ok so this guy's INCREDIBLE! If I ever get married I'd love to have this guy there. Even if he didn't sing I bet he'd make the mood!

  86. M.... B....

    Chuck Willis

  87. A.... H....

    You don't 'just' perform on Austin City Limits. It's a life achievement to do so. For him to be there at his age and rock the stage is uncanny.

  96. 1.... ....

    I never tire of this. Love Leon's voice. Love his look. Love the slide guitar. Others have mentioned Sam Cooke/Robert Cray: maybe its the throw-back sound that gets me.
