Aloe Blacc - I Need A Dollar

I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Said I need dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me

Bad times are comin and I reap what I don't sow
Well let me tell you somthin all that glitters ain't gold
It's been a long old trouble long old troublesome road
And I'm looking for somebody come and help me carry this load

I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need

Well I don't know if I'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is falling down
And all I want - is for someone - to help me

I had a job but the boss man let me go
I'm sorry but I won't be needing your help no more
Please mister boss man I need this job more than you know
But he gave me my last paycheck and he sent me on out the door

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Said I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story, would you share your dollar with me

Well i don't know if i'm walking on solid ground
Cause everything around me is crumbling down
And all I want - is for someone - to help me

What in the world am I gonna to do tomorrow
is there someone whose dollar that I can borrow
Who can help me take away my sorrow
Maybe its inside the bottle
Maybe its inside the bottle

I had some good old buddy his names is whiskey and wine
And for my good old buddy i spent my last dime
My wine is good to me it helps me pass the time
and my good old buddy whiskey keeps me warmer than the sunshine
Your mom of mayhem just a child has got his own
if god has plans for me i hope it aint - written in stone
because i've been working working myself down to the bone
and i swear on grandpa's grave I'll be paid when i come home

Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Said I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
Well I need a dollar dollar, a dollar is what I need
And if I share with you my story would you share your dollar with me

come on share your dollar with me
go ahead share your dollar with me
come on share your dollar give me your dollar
share your dollar with me
come on share your dollar with me
