lyrics
leave me out all the time
just read me all of my rights
don’t call on me tonight
just come to me by my side
don’t cause a big fight
just come to me by my side
leave me out all the time
just read me all of my rights
don’t call on me tonight
just come to me by my side
don’t cause a big fight
just come with me by my side
The phrase “leave me out” occurs repeatedly in Ross’s music, most prominently in this song. Whether the plea was meaningful to him or simply his go-to placeholder lyric remains a mystery.
“One four” is a rare instance of him recording multiple versions. He wanted to get it right. The version featured on this album is presented unaltered from the mp3 he attached to this email sent to me on August 16, 2006:
“hey. heres a new version of an older song.
sans reverb. plus new vocals...and more song...
i like it alot. maybe the ‘prettiest’ song i have written.
ROSS”
