"Cafe Sing"
by
Chip Ratliff
(Intro)
(1st Verse)
There's a woman in the corner looking dead at me
Don't know why she lookin'
Hope she like what she see
There's a man at the bar getting drunk as hell
His wife just left
He didn't take it too well
Now the people on the floor just wanna' touch and feel
Been comin' here so long
Don't know when love is real
(Chorus)
All these sad people
Sad and lonely like me
Don't mean no harm
They just wanna' be free
Free from their lovers
All the sorrow they bring
That's why we come here
To the Cafe Sing
(2nd Verse)
Now the bartender knows everybody by name
Knows everybody's story
'Cuz they're always the same
Somebody's lover left them, caused them so much pain
Their 'bout to go crazy
'Bout to go insane
But the people don't know there'll be a brighter day
They only come here
To cry their life away
(Chorus)
All these sad people
Sad and lonely like me
Don't mean no harm
They just wanna' be free
Free from their lovers
All the sorrow they bring
That's why we come here
To the Cafe Sing
(Sax solo by Chris Greene)
(Chorus)
All these sad people
Sad and lonely like me
Don't mean no harm
They just wanna' be free
Free from their lovers
All the sorrow they bring
That's why we come here
To the Cafe Sing
(Guitar solo by Fernando Jones)

but to taking funk & soul to new heights. This talented bassist/writer/producer’s music has all of the great characteristics of old school funk, but it also absorbs the best of contemporary soul, rock, urban blues, jazz, and hip-hop to propel his music forward.
