I’m Gonna Follow You, `till I wear you down
I’m Gonna Follow You, `cause this here’s my town
You don’t know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)
You can’t turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)
Ooo, Ooo…
I’m Gonna Follow You, `till I know your timing
You’ll turn some corner soon, and find you can’t get by me
You don’t know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)
You can’t turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)
You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can’t dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I’m gonna dance for you!
Ooo, Ooo…
I’m Gonna Follow You, `till I wear you down
I’m Gonna Follow You, `cause this here’s my town
You don’t know these streets the way that I do (I do, I do)
You can’t turn it on and off the way that I do (I do, I do)
You see yourself as some kind of lily of the valley
You come around here in your ballet slippers padding on my alley
And you know that you can’t dance
Cause you know you never had the chance
I’m gonna dance for you!
Ooo, Ooo…
- Neil: My buddy Billy Steinberg wrote that. We met him at Chrysalis. He had a band they were thinking of signing called Billy Thermal. I thought he had great songs, and they it would be a good idea if I got together with him. So we started writing together. Then we found out he owns a grape vineyard. Maybe not a vineyard, because I think they just grow table grapes. So this was a song we used to do in his set.
