Hi, I'm a drummer of blues band. We play some Robben Ford's songs. I'm looking for lyric of "Wild about you (can't hold out much longer)" from TALK TO YOUR DAUGHTER. Thanks everyone who help me.

I'm just wild about you baby, do you ever think of me ?
Crazy about you baby, don't care if there's nothin' in this world for me !
Yeah, wild about you baby.

Can't sleep at night,

Only one thing baby
That drives a man to drink
Tell me you don't love me.

Crazy Bout You
(Christine Perfect)
The Legendary Christine Perfect Album

Can't sleep at night,
I cat nap through the day.
I can't go on much longer baby,
Living this-a-way
Don't you know that I'm crazy 'bout you baby,
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
Don't you know that I'm wild 'bout you baby.
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
(Piano solo)
Don't you know that I'm crazy 'bout you baby,
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
Don't you know that I'm wild 'bout you baby.
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
Sometimes I sit and wonder
What am I gonna do?
I just about try hard enough
That I forget about you.
Don't you know that I'm crazy 'bout you baby,
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
Don't you know that I'm wild 'bout you baby.
But you don't care nothing in the world for me.
Crazy 'bout you baby,
I'm wild 'bout you baby,
Hook, line, and sinker
Don't you know that you're driving me to drink?
Crazy 'bout you baby
Wild 'bout you baby
Crazy 'bout you baby
Wild 'bout you baby

.....of course it could really be written by Sonny Boy Williamson !!!!

Ah yes, Christine Perfect of Chicken Shack. Too bad she didn't do much after that. Wish she'd stuck to the blues.

Wonder whatever happened to her ? Wink

For those who don't know her history... while still with Chicken Shack, Christine Perfect met and married John McVie of Fleetwood Mac.
She eventually left Chicken Shack, then later joined and had a very lucrative career as a member of Fleetwood Mac during the height of their commercial success.

...but isn't Wild About You a Little Walter song? Or at least wasn't that the version that Robben got his inspiration from?

Re Christine Perfect McVie and the various "whatever happened to's" that show up on this Board: Without eye contact, sometimes it's hard to figure out when someone is being serious, and when they're being ironic. (Sometimes it's tough even with eye contact, if the speaker has a sufficient poker face.) I still get mixed responses to my over-used and tired story about the first and only time I saw Big Mama Thornton in person, backed up by a newish SF Bay group then called the Warlocks. I mention that they had a great guitar player "named Jerry something ...," and then end with the usual "I wonder whatever happened to those guys." Half of my listeners laugh that knowing laugh with me, and half come back with one dead serious version or another of "what? ... didn't you know? ... that was Jerry Garcia, you dummy ... and they changed their band name to ..."

It's sort of like that young kid with the floppy hat and wide lapels that played with the original Yellowjackets lineup, "Robin" or Robyn" something. Whatever happened to him?

Nah, that was Robin Hood, and the jacket wasn't yellow - it was Lincoln green. I thought everybody knew that! I don't know, some people just don't keep up ...

(Johnny Littlejohn was in the band too, along with Friar Tuck Andress).
