Pre-Creedence lyrics

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

I'm hope tell to you that you better stay out of my way
There ain't a man alive to beat me
And that's why I'm here to stay
You may be something but you got nothing on me

You know just for fun I wrassled with a grizzly bear
I even fought with an alligator
I didn't even mess my hair
Well You may be something but you got nothing on me

You got nothin' on me

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

I'm gonna leave you baby
In the morning I'll be gone
Like a song at the end
cause you begin to irritate
I just can't wait
I pack my bags what a drag
Gonna leave this place you're ugly face
You're midnight creepin' and the door keeps squeekin'
Cause you can't be true

I'm gonna leave you baby
There's nothin' to it you can say
just to feel this way

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

When you came walking down the street
I felt my poor hart skip a beat
Why did you say that we were through
Why do you treat me like you do

You said you found another guy
You never even told me why
I thought you'd never be untrue

Why do you treat me like you do
You said you found another guy
You never even told me why

Why do you treat me like you do

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

You better be careful girl you're all alone
You better be careful girl you're on your own
I see the tears begin there in your eyes
You better be carefull girl I'm telling you
girl a thing or two
Maybe I'll find the time some other day

You're gonna find out yes you will
That I don't need no one
Now You better be careful

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

Where you been, Where you been little girl
don't be afraid I won't tell
I wanna know but I worry so
Where you been, Where you been, Where you been

What'd you do, what'd you do little girl
If it was bad I don't care
Just let me know cause I love you so
Where you been, Where you been, Where you been
No matter what you do baby

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

Late last night
I went for a walk
Down by the river, near my home
Couldn't believe
with my own eyes
And I swear I'll never leave my home again
I saw a man walking on the water
Calling out my name, do not be afraid
Feet began to run, pounding in my brain
I don't want to go, I don't want to go
No, no no no, a no I don't want to go,

But you won't catch me goin' back down there alone
Things they said when I was young
Are quite enough to get me hung
I don't care! I don't care!

They came and took my dad away to serve some time
But it was me that paid the debt he left behind
Folks said I was full of sin, because I was the next of kin.
I don't care! I don't care!

Folks were out one night to put me up a fence

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

Little Girl does your mama know you're out tonight
and if she did would she die of fright
just to know you're out with me

Little girl do you think that I'm a fool
And if you do does it change your mind
or will you love me all the time

I'm so much older than you
you don't know what I'm going through
I only know that this feeling inside

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

I knew a pretty little girl
with no love to give
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that
So I followed her home
just to see where she lives
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that
I walked right up
and I knocked on her door
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that
So I asked her for a date
could I see you some more
I wouldn't do that, I wouldn't do that

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

Oh fight fire Oh fight fire
When you tell me a lie girl
It don't make me cry girl
I gotta fight fire with fire

Oh fight fire Oh fight fire
You know that I need you girl
I tried to believe you girl
But I gotta fight fire with fire

Oh fight fire Oh fight fire
Well go on and try girl
But don't ask me why girl
cause I gotta fight fire with fire

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

No No No No No No Don't tell me no lies
No No No No No No Don't tell me no lies
Cause I don't want to hear them
I don't want to hear them
No No No No No No Don't tell me no lies
No No No No No No Don't make me feel bad
No No No No No No Don't make me feel bad
Cause I don't really love you
I don't really love you
No No No No No No Don't tell me no lies

What would you have me do
Just turn and walk out on you
And leave you standing there
Pretending I don't care
When you know as well as I
that would be nowhere
shouldn't I be with you

What would you have me say
After I walk away
would it be the end
or just a second wind
for the good old song that we use to call pretending
shouldn't I be with you

(John Fogerty/Tom Fogerty)

Let me tell you people about something I have found
I got me a brand new baby because her eyes are brown
Don't get yourself a blue eyed girl because she just won't do
Green eyes be the same thing
they be the death of you

I got me trouble she only bring you down
So if you want some true lovin'
Make sure her eyes are brown
I got me a brown eyed girl
