The Whole of You

Written by Bootsauce, from Bull, 1992



(Sample A: I know what you're thinking, punk...)

And I looked in your eyes this time
I said, "You're tired, yes it hasn't been easy"
Rediscovered your smile, then said, I said,
"Your whole world shook me, static, no teasing"
I didn't wanna forget the way I said
Your lips, yes, had pleased me
I dug too deep inside you, I know
I said, the whole world of you was still teasing

The whole of you
You, it's you that's talking
The bitter truth
Baby, it's not you that's walking
The whole of you
You, it's you that's talking
The bitter truth
Baby

The bitter taste of defeat, yeah yeah
I said, "It happens most happens easy"
Just to stand all alone, I know
I said, "A feet-first stab at appeasing"
I only wanted to be with you, I said
A porn star for me, that's right, come on
I only wanted to have you dine
I said, a porn star for tea, yeah

The whole of you
You, it's you that's talking
The bitter truth
Baby, it's not you that's walking
The whole of you
You, it's you that's talking
The bitter truth
Baby, it's the truth

You've disconnected your life this time
I said, you're thinking money can cure it
But what you got to believe, I feel,
I said that in your head is the cure, "it"
I'm as happy as I can be, I said
This situation included
Just like the pea in the pod, yeah yeah
I said, a porn star for me, yeah

The whole of you
The bitter truth
Baby, it's not you that's walking
The whole of you
You, it's you that's talking
The bitter truth
Baby, it's the truth...


Notes:

  • Sample A comes from the 1971 film Dirty Harry. The audio is from a particularly famous scene where Clint Eastwood intimidates a bank robber at gunpoint.
