Grandma's Hands - Bill Withers

(Hey, hey) She had her eyes on the prize as the girl next door You grow up quick when you grow up poor It's the only way to LA that she knows The Hollywood pose, teeth, tits, and toes Didn't take her long to leave the boulevard So many five-star friends with black credit cards She'd try anything once 'cause anything goes It never comes easy when you're diggin' for gold (Hey, hey) Well, she ain't no Cinderella when she's gettin' undressed 'Cause she rocks it like the naughty, wicked witch of the west Far too pretty to be givin' it cheap That's why she's makin' six figures, workin' three days a week Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promised land She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands She'll shake her moneymaker twice as hard as anyone can She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands (Hey, hey) I doubt she'd even let the devil buy her little black book City Hall would probably fall if anyone got a look Every A-list player is a favorite friend Says they all taste the same in the back of the Benz Her congressman would call her every once in a while Got the schoolgirl skirt on the top of the pile She's done everyone once and everyone knows You gotta get a little dirty when you're diggin' for gold (Hey, hey) Well, she ain't no Cinderella when she's gettin' undressed 'Cause she rocks it like the naughty, wicked witch of the west Far too pretty to be givin' it cheap That's why she's makin' six figures, workin' three days a week Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promised land She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands She'll shake her moneymaker twice as hard as anyone can She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands Someone spilled the beans and now her name's in the press Tough to keep it all a secret when you're one of the best The judge is goin' easy 'cause he paid for her chest Yeah, he loves his little, naughty, wicked witch of the west Far too pretty to be givin' it cheap That's why she's makin' six figures, workin' three days a week Yeah, she'd even break a promise in the promised land She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands She'll shake her moneymaker twice as hard as anyone can She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands She'll shake her moneymaker twice as hard as anyone can She didn't make it this far by just shakin' hands

Never thought that you'd teach me to walk away You said, "I love you so much, baby, won't you stay?" So it goes, goes, goes, so it always goes So it goes, goes, goes, so it always goes I went down to the river to wash away the things I've done All the names I traced into my skin since you've been gone And his hands, they feel just like yours against my arm But his voice, it sounds nothing like yours when you're telling me I'm wrong I sleep in agony, I sleep alone Your hangman hands have got me cold Guess you don't know, no, no, guess you'll never know Now you don't know, no, no, now you'll never know So I went back to the devil and told him everything I know Let him drink my blood and feed me wine in the TV glow And his hands, they feel just like yours around my throat But his voice, it sounds nothing like yours when you're begging me to come home I went down to the river to wash away the things I've done All the names I traced into my skin since you've been gone

فوسط زحمة وناس كتير وطريق أنا ماشي فيه عكس السير وسط الطموح والأمل والتمني فاضلي خطوة توصلني فوسط حاجات ومكيفات بحاول أنسى كل اللي فات في وسط صدري ضلعي مكسور ومن خلاله قلبي شايف نور أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع فوسط الليل وأنا بعيد عن البشر شفت نور يشبه نور القمر بس القمر مسيره يفارق ويسيبني تاني مع الوحدة أحارب فوسط قصة حب يعني وهمية كان لازم أصدق اصل الوحدة قوية مش كل المشاعر حقيقية أنا شفت نور معرفتش اغمض عنيا أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع أنا كنت فاكر اني طاير وأتاريني على وشي بقع أنا كنت فاكر إني هوصل لكني بهرب من الوجع
