Bill Withers
The Nuts Off The Screw
[Verse 1]
Stepped into something when I met you
Something that got all over me
Fell in a hole without a bottom
Like some old possum up a tree
Locked in a room without a window
And someone threw away the key
Hanging out in the land of limbo
Thinking 'bout you and him and me

[Chorus]
The nut's off of the screw with us
Said, ain't it, baby? (Uh huh, uh huh)
(Well, well) The nut's off of the screw with us
Said, ain't it, baby? (Uh huh, yes it is)

Hey!

[Verse 2]
Caught up a creek without a paddle
I can't spell 'begin' with a 'B'
Caught on a fence that I can't straddle
Thinking 'bout you and him and me

[Chorus]
The nut's off of the screw with us
I said, please forgive me for sayin' it, that's the way I feel (Uh huh, uh huh)
(Well, well) The nut's off of the screw with us
Hey, hey, ain't it baby (Yes it is, uh huh, uh huh)
The nut's off of the screw with us
I said, ain't it, baby? (Uh huh, uh huh)
You better screw me back on tight
(Don't you know that) The nut's off of the screw with us
Said, ain't it, baby? (Yes it is)
*Alright, now it's time for y'all to give me some breakdown here!*

[Outro]
I said the nut's (The nut's off of the screw with us)(The nut's off of the screw with us)
I said, ain't it, baby? (Uh huh, uh huh, yes it is)
(Well, well, the nut's off of the screw with us)(The nut's off of the screw with us)
Oh, ain't it, baby? (Yes it is, uh huh, uh huh)
Hey, hey, hey
The nut's (The nut's off of the screw with us, uh huh, uh huh)(The nut's off of the screw with us, yes it is)
Oh, baby, ain't that right?
I know (The nut's off of the screw with us, yes it is, uh huh, uh huh)
That's the way I feel
The nut's (The nut's off of the screw with us, uh huh, uh huh)(The nut's off of the screw with us, yes it is)
