He starts askin questions, this ain t no life for them to lead, not recallin what had happened the night before
When he comes home he always beats her to the floor, now s my time to go too late
this ain t no life for them to lead
now s my time to go too late
bye-bye i just got to let you know
he starts shoutin again
In her mind she knows she has to let him go in the children s eyes she sees the fear inside, all the kids they go and snuggle up to mom
Not recallin what had happened the night before, now s my time to go too late Too, he can t take it all
All the kids they go and snuggle up to mom, he can t take it all
This ain t no life for them to lead, now s my time to go in the morning when he wakes up from the couch
About them leavin, now s my time to go i don t want to be around you
He performed this song and "Mama Used To Say" on Soul Train in 1982. I saw the two performances. Deniece Williams performed "It's Gonna Take a Miracle" and Waiting by the Hotline" on that episode which aired on Saturday, June 12, 1982.
Junior does not get the credit he deserves,,,
I remember listening to his music growing up in Orlando, Florida and then
really appreciating his vocals as an adult..
Too Late..
Baby, bye, bye
When I concentrate on Junior's vocals, it saddens me. When I concentrate on that heavenly bass line, I feel better. Thanks to you, Junior for giving me a mental workout!
This song made me cry then and it makes me cry now. It's like reliving my childhood all over again. Watching men beat down women that they claim to love.
