Side Dish Lyrics

Robert Cray Band Side Dish

Don't light the fire and forget what you're doing
Make your baby mad and start her to stewing
When she starts to boil, lettin' off some steam,
you'll become a side dish, if you know what I mean?

Appetize a main course
Don't you understand?
Yeah
If don't do your prep you'll get canned
I'll let you in on something, won't be hard to do
You could become a side dish
It could happen to you, yeah
(cold radish, turnip, don't cry french fry, escarole, parsnips, scallions, cabbage)

You got to tend to your cooking every day and every night, yeah
You got to stir it, season it and simmer just right
It's a simple recipe
It ain't hard to do
You'll become a side dish
You'll be off her menu
Yes you will, yeah
(broccoli, mashed potatoes, celery, onion, carrot, boiled carrot for that, you'll
be cryin' )
