Sharon Jones, Various Artists - 100 Days, 100 Nights Lyrics

100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
And a little more
Before he knows his own

You know a man
Can play the part
Of a saint
Just so long
For a day comes
When his true,
His true self unfolds
Yes it does

He maybe mellow
He maybe kind
Treat you good
All the time

But there's something just beyond what he's told

100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
100 days, 100 nights
To know a man's heart
And a little more
Before he knows his own

Wait a minute
Maybe I need to slow it down just a little
Take my time

I had a man (100 days)
Tell me things (100 nights)
Made me feel (100 days)
Just like a queen (100 nights)
And I thought (100 days)
He was the one (100 nights)
I, I would hold (100 days)
Oh yes I did (100 nights)
But one day (100 days)
I looked around (100 nights)
That old man (100 days)
Was nowhere to be found (100 nights)
100 days (100 days)
For this heart (100 nights)
To unfold (100 days, 100 nights)

100 days (100 days),
100 nights (100 nights)
To know a man's heart (100 days, 100 nights)
100 days (100 days),
100 nights (100 nights)
To know a man's heart (100 days, 100 nights)
And a little more
Before he knows his own
(100 days, 100 nights)
(100 days, 100 nights)
(100 days, 100 nights)
