If you wanna hang out, you've gotta take her out: Cocaine
If you wanna get down, get down on the ground: Cocaine

If you got that lose, you wanna kick them blues: Cocaine
When your day is done, and you wanna ride on Cocaine

If your day is gone, and you wanna ride on: Cocaine
Don't forget this fact: You can't get it back: Cocaine

And what's the other line? "She don't lie, she do't lie, she don't lie"?

Purely an academic interest, of course,

I believe the lyric is

"When your day is done, and you want to ride on, cocaine."

COCAINE by J. J. Cale

If you wanna hang out you've got to take her out, cocaine.
If you wanna 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 wanna kick them blues, cocaine.
When your day is done and you wanna run, cocaine.
She don't lie, she don't lie, she don't lie, cocaine.

If your thing is gone and you wanna 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.

Hmm...the lyrics I grabbed off the 'net say "She don't lie." But my ears
have always heard it as "She's alright."

She don't lie cocaine?
Did you ever LIE cocaine? Or have you ever been alright AFTER cocaine?

Most logical answer would be 'She don't like....'

Hi Morgan,
to the mail:Re: Eric Clapton. Cocaine. Just one word missing:
to throw my two cents worth in here:


m> > "She don't like..."
m> >

m> Hmm...the lyrics I grabbed off the 'net say "She don't lie." But
m> my ears have always heard it as "She's alright."

It's "She don't lie........Cokain." [Cokain (she) don't lie to you] :)

At least I hope I'm right, otherwise I've been singing and playing the
song wrong for the last fifteen years! (How embarrassing):)


See u l8er,
.dave.
