Cray, Robert - Nothin' But a Woman Lyrics






You can give me an hour alone in a bank
Pay all my tickets, wipe the slate blank
You could buy me a car, fill up the tank
Tell me a boat full of lawyers just sank
But it ain't nothin' but a woman
Nothin' but a woman, no, no
Don't need nothin' but a woman
Any time I'm feelin' low

Well, you could fly us to Dallas on a jumbo-jet plane
If we run late and miss it, we can take the night train
When the pressure is on, things getting insane
Only one cure for that kind of strain

It ain't nothin' but a woman
Nothin' but a woman, no, no
Don't need nothin' but a woman, yeah, yeah
To get me through the show

Yeah, you can make me a bet, give me a ten-point spread
Give me french brandy that will clear my head
When it's all over, feeling half-dead
Only one thing, just like I said

It ain't nothin' but a woman
Nothin' but a woman, yeah, yeah
Any time I got a woman
Things can't be too bad

You can buy me a house, turn over the deed
Bring six pounds of California weed
But my weakness ain't drugs, whiskey, or greed
Only one thing that YOUNG BOB needs

It ain't nothin' but a woman
Nothin' but a woman
Yeah, you right
Ain't nothin' but a woman to get me through the night

Mmmmm

It's like I said, man
Ain't nothin' but a woman

[various inaudible gauking]

Yeah, look at her

And that one over there

  1. C.... ....

    Funny"Ain't nothing but the woman" that he got into ugly fights with a band mate over a woman. Woman force of nature ❤️.

  2. F.... R....

    Side note: On his album with Phone Booth, if I remember correctly, there's no reverb on the entire album, just a nice, dry Fender Strat sound blasting from the speakers.

  3. P.... T....

    He's totally Unadulterated,Pure Fax
    Say No More Robbie.

  4. D.... k....

    That's one H-O-T BABE!!!!! ( or atleast was. I realize this video was produced over 25 years ago. )

    And that one over there

  14. M.... ....

    Saw Robert Cray open for Huey Lewis and the News, was hooked instantly! Love his style of blues and his voice. Blues PERFECTION!! This man is Fantastic Live.

    M.... ....

    Madman unfortunately I can say I saw Huey and the “news” they should’ve been opening for RC himself- would’ve loved to have seen him play back in the day- this music holds up, nothing knocking pop but the news were not talent in any measurable way. Bet you paid like 12 bucks for that seat too man! Aah those days didn’t have the cringe factor we do today. But good music is definitely always good, will be our favorites for lifetimes

  15. D.... H....

    Ugh. In town in two weeks and I can't get the day off. Sucks not to be rich.

    D.... H....

    Sure does....did you miss him?
