TILL I’M OFF THE GROUND written by Sheldon Manoo (1994)

(CHORDS-F-G)

I got no money honey, I got no job, I got no place to go

My big brother And the others, they keep saying no

I got no license, Ain’t got much passes, No wealthy person I know

I’m kinda lazy, or maybe crazy and my standard’s low

I got lil talent but I got soul and I got a few friends

I’m real down, please stick around till this trouble ends

I got no worries and I find no peace, it’s like the sky descend

So till I’m ready, till I’m off the ground can you put me up till then?

 

(G-F)

 

Yes till I’m settled, till I’m off the ground, can I call you my best friend?

 

(Drum Solo)

 

Please have some mercy, please loan me some, till I make it on my own

I promise you whatever I do, I won’t leave you all alone

I’m not talking love, I’m talking friend and a temporary home

I miss my father and my mother, wish I’d never grown

This song’s really silly but please don’t laugh cause every word is true

I need someone who would run come, I hope that person is you

Don’t turn me out, please let me in, I’m down and out and blue

Please till I’m back up, till I’m off the ground, say you’ll see me through

 

(G-F)

 

Oh till things lighten, till I’m off the ground, can I stay with you?
