One Breath At A Time

Lyrics: Fred Tackett
Music: Fred Tackett

One of the new songs on Little Feat's album Rooster Rag.

Yesterday�s done gone away
I never knew that girl to stay
Tomorrow�s boy never does show
He�s only rumor now don�t you know

I don�t keep no cares about that
I don�t have to be aware about that
Don�t even give a little thought about that
�Cause my baby girl says it ain�t about that

She�s got a smile, ain�t no teasing
Time in this world is spent on pleasing me

My baby loves me
One breath at a time
Ain�t no rhyme ain�t no reason
Ain�t no style ain�t no season
My baby loves me
One breath at a time

All my friends say to me
They want to see some guarantee
Nobody wants to wait and see
Nobody�s diggin� on a mystery

I don�t keep no cares about that
I don�t have to be aware about that
Don�t even give a little thought about that
�Cause my baby girl says it ain�t about that

She�s got a way to keep me swinging
Time in this world is spent on pleasing me

My baby loves me
One breath at a time
Ain�t no rhyme ain�t no reason
Ain�t no style ain�t no season
My baby loves me
One breath at a time

I�m less of a stallion more like a mule
Tired of carrying round all of these rules
More of a monk than a libertine
A bad American but I�m never mean

I don�t keep no cares about that
I don�t have to be aware about that
Don�t even give a little thought about that
�Cause my baby girl says it ain�t about that

She�s got a love that�s all old school
She�s got a love with no time for a fool

My baby loves me
One breath at a time
Ain�t no rhyme ain�t no reason
Ain�t no style ain�t no season
My baby loves me
One breath at a time
