Dave Matthews Band – Cornbread lyrics
Dancing with the devil round the fire
Messed your mamma's bed for a little more magic
Make you wanna run around naked
Cause you know it looks go on you

But you ain't ever had my cornbread
A little bit of heaven, and a little bit of aw yeah
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

Oh God, said I give you love
And I wanna jump off but the dark is enough
Yes, I messed one up and I got shoot up
But the joy is steeped in sin

The old man he come runnin' 'round here
Looking for the sinner who took his baby
I'm gonna tell you that it was me
And the joy was steeped in sin

The soul's inside my soul before you
All the innocence that running fire
All inside my darkness, lover lie
All the innocence that makes you wise

Dancing with the devil round the fire
Messed your mamma's bed for a little more magic
Make you wanna run around naked
Cause you know it looks go on you

But you ain't ever had my cornbread
A little bit of heaven, and a little bit of uh uh
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

Oh no more we're taking a chance
And when I get caught
Oh my baby, running out of town
Cause it makes me mad
The joy is steeped in sin

Preacher man said to watch your fall
But behind that curtain
See us getting it on
Oh give him what he wants
Children calls drop
Steeped in sin

The song's inside my soul because of you
All the innocence that makes me wild
Oh the fire that's burning, a little more, let's jump on the bed
It's all inside our heads
Golden love again
The love that we would make, too bitter
What case you tell me friend?
Is love that do pretend
That one is better than the other

Dancing with the devil

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Oh oh

Dancing with the devil round the fire
Messed your mamma's bed for a little more magic
Make you wanna run around naked
Cause you know it looks go on you

But you ain't ever had my cornbread
A little bit of heaven, and a little bit of uh uh
Cut it down the middle
Open wide and jump right in

It's all inside dark falls on me
All the minutes that will make you right
Oh man we play the dance has done enough
Oh I will lay on my baby
It's all inside
It's all inside you
It's all inside make you happy, baby
It's all inside you
It's all inside you
What you need to make you happy
It's all inside you
It's all inside you
It's all inside
What you need to make you happy
It's all inside your head
It's all inside your head
What you need, babe, to make you happy

Oh oh
