Fredericks, Sawyer - Short Temper Lyrics






I met a woman and I
Gave her everything
And I thought
She loved me
I met a woman and I
Gave her everything
And I thought
She loved me

It wasn't working out and
She told me to get out
Of her life.
I told her this is
Just a phase
It'll all be
Better in the morning
You wait
You wait
She didn't listen
She didn't listen
She didn't listen
She didn’t listen

She locked the doors and
Told me to get out
Of her life
She locked the doors and
Told me to get out
Of her life

Open the door now I'm
Tired of standing
In the rain
Open the door now I'm
Tired of standing
In the rain

Mama told me
I had a
Short temper
So let me in
Open the door now I'm
Tired of standing
In the rain

She didn't listen
She didn't listen
She didn’t listen
She didn’t listen

I met a woman and I
Gave her everything
And I thought
She loved me
I met a woman and I
Gave her everything
And I thought
She loved me.

  4. R.... R....

    One of my favorites! I would love to see Sawyer perform in Knoxville!

  5. S.... A....

    you are the first one Who made me love folk ,blue music. Your voice and the way you sing a song opened my heart opened my mind! thank you Sawyer!

  6. s.... *....

    Amazing boy 👍

  7. a.... r....

    This blows my mind. Musical prodigy genius gifted kiddo. YOU ROCK Sawyer!!

  8. L.... J....

    Sawyer, I am having a blast looking at your videos. I had two daughters, both gifted (but not musically)- one , an artist and the other, an actress. It brings back such great memories for me when I see you perform because my girls are all grown up now. You are rocking it!

  9. h.... q....

    Sawyer, I don't know if you personally will see this message, but I must tell you how much your music, your presentation just reaches out and touches the soul. When I listen to your music, I just can't stop, even when I have other things to do. I feel your music, not just hear it. Your guitar playing is as much a part of you as your wonderful voice. Please don't let the world change who you are, we need you and your influence on the planet. People like you can change the world. Thanks.

    J.... M....

    Jessica Maples Me too! Sounds better than Elvis Presley. Sawyer is a cutie pie especially all grown up. I love this song so much when he was a lil tatortot. I do wonder how he would sing it today. He causes you to want to hug him, squeeze him, and Pat him on the shoulder for a job well done. We love you Sawyer at my house and other's love you in their house too.

    J.... M....

    Jessica Maples I love how he stomps his foot!

  32. M.... J....

    Seeing talent like this reminds me...there is still beauty in this world. I just stare and listen...there is so much to be said about @***** ...but mainly...he just leaves me speechless. I feel like I am watching a unicorn. :D And that's how I felt when I first heard him singing someone ELSES song. Now I'm watching all of these ORIGINALS!? Now I feel like I am watching a unicorn skate boarding on a rainbow. Talent like this is rare. kid-you will INSPIRE THE WORLD...and I'm just thankful for the internet so I can watch this happen! Good luck to you and your family your future is limitless!!

    M.... J....

    @Mandy Johnson "I feel like I am watching a unicorn skate boarding on a rainbow." Mandy, you've made my day. ( I feel the same way about Sawyer Fredericks.)

    M.... J....

    Love his voice

  33. f.... ....

    Nice Tune!!!

  34. G.... M....

    love you on the voice.  Now I am listening to your stuff on youtube.  WOW

  35. B.... ....

    I'm a Huge Sawyer fan from the voice and love this org. song of his.. I vote every week hope you win. good luck!

  36. B.... N....

    You are the (young) Man!!! Can't wait to hear you on the radio!

  37. M.... B....

    I'm not one for posting on sites like this. You, I don't want to keep quiet about! You are incredible. As a almost singer, I really love seeing someone achieve their goals. When I watch you on "The Voice" I am very moved by the ease with which you sing, your poise on stage, your smile. I really think you are The Voice!

  38. l.... ....

    If Sawyer doesn't win the voice,  it doesn't matter.  There is nobody else on the show that we would want to see in concert.  Hell,  we would fly across the country to see him sing at a family reunion.  Unfortunately ,  now it will be too late .   He's already a star.  If there really was such a thing as reincarnation...........   I dunno..... Stevie Ray Vaughn?   I've met a few prodigies in my life and Sawyer without a doubt is one.    It looks like he's already got enough material to make 20 albums!  Crazy,  just crazy.

    l.... ....

    Well I hope you have been able to see him live by now. I have 28 times 😂😂😂

  39. P.... L....

    I am awed by the music coming from this young-un. Wow! I would love to see/hear this on The Voice if they keep it true to the original, This is an outstanding piece. Has it been recorded since 2012 and available on his web site? Going there now.

  40. s.... C....

    This kid is awesome...love watching him on the Voice...if he doesn't win, it'll be a shame....I'm a big fan.

  41. G.... K....

    Love how into this song he is. One of my favorite videos and songs.

  42. S.... H....

    I think he did more than absorb the qualities, I think they took over his soul! lol! He is way beyond his years with his writing and singing style. A great folk/blues singer in the making! Defiantly one to watch for. Just love this kid. Hopefully he can show his generation what REAL music is!!

    S.... H....

    @Sherri Hill Amen!

    S.... H....

    a direct line to creative source - whatever one calls it. ~ <3 ~
    REAL MUSIC ~ Needed and appreciated NOW <3

  43. L.... C....

    Have to say, my two favorite songs are probably It's You, Not My Girl and Short Temper. I bet Sawyer will change music industry if he plays his parts correctly :D

    L.... C....

  46. u.... ....

    cool song sawyer!

  47. T.... F....

    I love love love this song! This is going to be a BIG hit. Check out his song "Not my girl" this one will also be a big hit. You should download his original music from iTunes. This kid is going places!

  48. R.... V....

    I just can't believe that he writes songs like this at his age. I am completely taken by him!! I'm finding myself commenting on every one of his videos. haha! This is just crazy!! I'm so thankful that he got the chance to show America his talent and share these awesome songs.

  49. c.... m....

    I can't believe you're a kid..the song and lyrics are great and so beyond your age. .someone called you a genetic genius and coupled with your old soul, you're brilliant. .I can't wait until the world hears you

  50. K.... ....

    He should sing this one.  Can you imagine what it would sound like with The Voice Band???

  51. P.... ....

    Amazing....you have a loyal following from PA to Fl...keep going don't stop...its your time to shine...u r our favorite on the voice!,,

  52. D.... B....

    Sawyer - you've got a great sound here with these lyrics and the harmony. Now that your voice is much stronger, as I heard on The Voice, you should definitely get some percussion in there to fill those pauses and you've really got something special. The harmony is great and I really like the way you change the tone around a little here and there to keep it interesting to the ear. This one's a winner and so are you. I look forward to hearing this again soon, when you get your second CD out. I just downloaded "Out My Window" from iTunes. Keep settin' 'em up and knockin' 'em down kid. You're doing great!

  53. D.... M....

    I would love to hear him sing this or something like it on the Voice.

  54. T.... D....

    He can sing this on the voice easily. An old soul should never be held back especially because of carpet.

  55. j.... ....

    I like the way Sawyer sang this somg-but as far as I can see, he hasn't done any blues songs in public. Did he lose interest in R&B?

  56. k.... ....

    I still love this song=)

  57. k.... ....

    YOur welcome=)

  58. k.... ....

    Very cool Sawyer keep playing and nice guitar too
