Howlin' For You Lyrics
The Black Keys
Lyrics
Alright
Yeah
Well now
I must admit, I can't explain
Any of these thoughts racing through my brain
It's true but baby, I'm howlin' for you
Alright
There's something wrong
With this plot
The actors here, have not got a clue
Baby, I'm howlin' for you
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Mockingbird
Can't you see?
Little girl's got a hold on me like glue
Baby, I'm howlin' for you
Yeah
Throw the ball to the stick
A swing and miss, in the catcher's mitt
Strike two
Baby, I'm howlin' for you
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
Da da, da da, da
