Artist: Random Album: Heroes Volume One Song: Pain in My Heart (Inspired By Otis Redding) Typed by: jostmatt at bluewin dot ch (A little pain in my heart just won't let me be) (Wake up at restless nights, Lord, and I can't even sleep) --> Otis Redding [ VERSE 1: Random ] Hey yo, we met when I was 11, new girl on the block Foreign exchange student that didn't really talk She came from Japan and barely knew the language But within a week I learned that she was cool to hang with And she was cute, knew how to have fun And so my biggest crush had officially begun Adrenaline junkies, so we stayed in somethin Runnin and jumpin, even duck huntin Met with her after school every day faithfully She was never too busy, always played with me And yeah, we built up trust over time Told me her biggest secrets and I told her mine And mom started worryin 'bout the time we spent I told her I was in love, she juggled a bit And said, "Please, next weekend it'll be someone else" But she just didn't understand the love we felt Oh (And night and day has began to get tough Said I won't you to come back, come back, come back, baby I've had enough) --> Otis Redding [ VERSE 2: Random ] Needed to concentrate to get my degree And so we broke up, I knew I had to set her free And if it was meant to be, then I would be sure She wanted to be a model but she was still immature I dated others but they never compared She was ( ? ) but I couldn't tell her I was missin her Went to the block and heard some real bad news They said she was on the pipe and started doin shrooms Called her old news since the new girls came Tried to talk to her, it just wasn't the same Cause she was unresponsive, they called her trash And said, "You can get her for cheap if you out on the ave" I was devastated, so when I came back home I tried to find her, mama said that she was long gone I feel like it's my fault for not playin my part Now I'm sittin in my dorm with this pain in my heart I can't take it (And night and day has began to get tough Said I won't you to come back, come back, come back, baby I've had enough) [ VERSE 3: Random ] One day about six years later I was in a Starbucks and saw her face in the paper And though I couldn't date her I would try to emulate her But it wasn't the same flavor I used to savor I thought of all the long nights, thought of all the memories Figured I would call her, see if she remembered me And she did, suggest that we should meet up I was with somebody else, but I wanted to see her And she was still pretty after all she went through Life was better, so she asked what I was into Full-time teacher, full-time musician Gave her a CD so she could take a listen She did, told me she loved what she heard But asked why I never made a song about her And that night I took her home and hit reset Pain in my heart left, we together till the death Yes (A little pain in my heart just won't let me be) That's what I told her 'bout, all the pain I was feelin (Wake up at restless nights, Lord, and I can't even sleep) We back, better than ever, baby Yeah There's nothin like a cliché metaphorical rap song to get you thinkin a little bit Now hit rewind
