Ry Cooder — Let's Have A Ball lyrics

Lyrics

I wanna ball like I never did ball before
I wanna ball like I never did ball before
I may never get a break like this in life no more
Well, I wanna ball like I never did ball before
I wanna ball like I never did ball before
I may never get a break like this in life no more
Got money in my pocket
I ain’t begging for bread
Cadillac El Dorado
Well, it’s gone to my head
I got a short time living and a long greasy time to pay (play) dead
Ain’t doing no favours, ain’t asking for none
Honey, I got money, I can pay for my fun
That’s the way I want it, that’s the way it must be done
I wanna ball like I never did ball before
I wanna ball like I never did ball before
I may never get a break like this in life no more
A certain little mama
Gonna jump and shout
When the El Dorado rolls up And I’ll come walking out
Gonna tell ya pretty baby
You don’t know what it’s all about
(I've got) No special woman
Want no special friend
Want a good time today
Tomorrow may be down again
Don’t dial my number
I’ll tell you when
I wanna ball like I never did ball before
Really wanna… never did ball before
I may never get a break like this in life no more
