Lyrics The Mavericks

The Mavericks

Nitty Gritty

Well, if you didn't love me

Wish you'd have told me

Then I wouldn't even let it throw me

When we got down to New York City

We got down to the nitty gritty

Well, I didn't mean to bring you down now

Well, I guess I got to be myself now

'Cause I sure can't be nobody else now

Yeah, they say that I'm a millionaire now

Well, ya told me just outside of Austin

That you'd stick with me 'til Boston

When a movie star from the city

He took away my nitty gritty

Well, if you didn't love me

Wish you'd have told me

Then I wouldn't even let it throw me

When we got down to New York City

We got down to the nitty gritty

Well, I didn't mean to bring you down now

Well, I guess I got to be myself now

'Cause I sure can't be nobody else now

Yeah, they say that I'm a millionaire now
