Lyrics Wilson Pickett – Covering The Same Old Ground

I know I broke your heart, and I made you cry
Made your life so miserable, darlin’
You wanted to die
Now you got your hopes on someone new

You better stop and think about it
‘Fore you make your move, darlin’
Take another look around
You may be headed in a different direction
All you covering is that same old ground

I regret (I regret, I regret, baby)
All the pain I caused you (But you’re headin’ for)
Oh, I wanna make it up to you darlin’
One of these old days (One of these old days)
Oh I can’t stand, oh I can’t stand my darlin’
Watch him woo you the same old way

You better stop and think about it
‘Fore you make your move, darlin’ (Stop)
Take another look around
You may be headed (You may be headed)
In a different direction (In a different direction)
All you covering is that same old ground

Stop, lord, think about it
‘Fore you make your move, ooh darlin’ (Stop)
Take a look around (Think about it)
You may be headed (You may be headed)
In a different direction (In a different direction)
All you covering is that same old ground (The same old ground)

Stop it, baby, stop right there and think about it
Don’t go no further (Stop)
