Peaceable Kind
Lawrence S. Pertillar 1947 (Connecticut)
This...
I have been telling you.
This...
And if you listen I've been telling you.
Baby, get to know me.
I-am-the-peaceable kind.
Baby can't you see it in me.
I am the peaceable kind.
All I have in me is love to give you.
No other weapons do I use to fear.
What is 'bout my love that has you threatened.
Or feeling what I show has not been clear.
Baby dontcha know me?
I-am,
The peaceable kind.
Why can't you to me surrender.
And surrender now.
Baby why can't you to me surrender.
All I have is love to give you now!
This...
I have been telling you.
Over and over.
I have been telling you.
And have made it clear.
Why...
Can't you surrender.
To know it's only love.
And my love to give you now.
Right now.
Tell me,
Why can't you surrender.
To know it's only love.
And my love to give you now.
Baby, get to know me.
I am,
The peaceable kind.
I am,
The peaceable kind.
I am,
The peaceable kind!
