Esther Phillips - Some Things You Never Get Used To

 
0
Copied!
Some things you never get used to
It's the same routine of getting up every morning
And putting on a smile
But underneath there’s another person
Who can't find a reason to make living worthwhile
Oh, another day to get through
Without the love that once was mine
Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to

I’ve gotten used to not listenin' for familiar sounds
You use to make
Now I'm trying to get out of the habit
Of calling your name first thing when I awake
Look a-here
It's like a child's first steps
I had to learn to walk all, all over again
Cause you were always there
If I should fall
And now there's nobody else that I can call
It's like wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to
Lost in a crowd
I think I caught a glimpse of you
Blindly I rushed
To touch your head
To discover
It’s my mind playing tricks on me again
(Tricks on me again)

Some things you never get used to
Sometimes I think my heartaches come to an end
And then something brings them all back again
Like wanting you
And not having you
I’ll never get used to
Baby, baby it's
Wanting you
And not having you
I’ll never get used to
Look a-here
I'm wanting you
And not having you
I'll never get used to

Biography

Esther Phillips (born Esther Mae Jones, December 23, 1935, Texas – died August 7, 1984, California) was an American soul and blues singer who was an influence on many other artists including Aretha Franklin.
At age fourteen, she won an amateur talent contest in 1949 at the Barrelhouse Club owned by Johnny Otis. Otis was so impressed he added her to his traveling revue, the California Rhythm and Blues Caravan, billed as ‘Little Esther Phillips’.
Her first hit record was “Double Crossing Blues” (#1 R&B), recorded in 1950 for Savoy Records. She had another two #1 plus four top 10 hits in 1950. Few artists, R&B or otherwise, have ever enjoyed such success in their debut year.
By the mid-50ies she was ill due to drug abuse. In 1962 Phillips got well enough to launch a comeback. She recorded a country tune, “Release Me,” with producer Bob Gans. This went to number 1 on R&B listings. Her cover of The Beatles' song “And I Love Him” nearly made the R&B Top Ten in 1965 and The Beatles flew her to the UK for her first overseas performances.
During the 1970’s she scored an international hit with “What A Difference A Day Made”. Phillips died in 1984, at the age of 48 from liver and kidney failure.
