IN THE MEANTIME
(Burch)
Georgie Fame & The Blue Flames - 1966


Someday Baby, gonna hitch on you
And together we will live life through

But in the meantime
It's such a lean time groovin'
You'll have a hard time
Because I wanna live it up this way
That's why I goota change my style you say
Give up my gals and wine
So you can see
I'm gonna need some lovin' in the meantime
I'm gonna needsome catchin' in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man

Oh pretty baby
I'll always feel like this now
No one can change me
But if you love me like I think you do
You're gonna understand I'll change for you
Give up my gals and wine
So you can see
I'm gonna need some lovin' in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catchin' in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man

So now I know, yeah, you're gonna save my soul
Just change my style, but you better know me while

I really love you
Although I never show it
Don't tell me we're through
I tell you sacrifice in love is grand
It won't be long before we're hand-in-hand
And I'll give up my gals and wine
So you can see
I'm gonna need some lovin' in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catchin' in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man

(Instrumental Break)

I really love you
Although I never show it
Don't tell me we're through
I tell you sacrifice in love is grand
It won't be long before we're hand-in-hand
And I'll give up my gals and wine
So you can see
I'm gonna need some lovin' in the meantime
I'm gonna need some catchin' in the meantime
I'm gonna be a meantime man
I see you in the meantime
You'll have a hard time
'Cause you'll be broodin'
While I'm groovin'.......FADE
