Cocaine
Eric Clapton
If you want to hang out, you’ve gotta take her out, cocaine
If you want to get down, down on the ground, cocaine
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie
Cocaine
If you got bad news, you want to kick them blues, cocaine
When your day is done, and you want to run on, cocaine
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie
Cocaine
If your day is gone, and you want to ride on, cocaine
Don’t forget this fact, you can’t get it back, cocaine
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie
Cocaine
She don’t lie, she don’t lie, she don’t lie
Cocaine
Songwriters: J. J. Cale
