Saadiq, Raphael - Something Keeps Calling Lyrics






Something keeps calling, me
I feel the burdens on me
Something keeps calling, me
This is so heavy, for me

You might say, I can never love again
Well you might be right, at least tonight
My friends say, I can never pull it together
Well they might be right, at least tonight

My kids say, I'll never come home again
And I know they're right, at least tonight
If I fail, my whole life goes to hell
And it don't seem right
I need help tonight

Something keeps calling, me
I feel the burdens on me
Something keeps calling, me
This is so heavy, for me

My wife says, I'll never have money again
And she might be right, I lost tonight
My heart says, I can get it all again
And I hope I'm right, but not tonight

The priest said, you're gonna lose family
And he might be right, at least tonight
My mind says, you should give it up today
Sounds awesome right, but not tonight

Something keeps calling, me
I feel the burdens on me
Something keeps calling, me
This is so heavy, for me

Something keeps calling, me
I feel the burdens on me
Something keeps calling, me
This is so heavy, for me

This is forever
(This is so heavy on me)
I'm never ever turning back
(This is so heavy on me)
I'm never
(This is so heavy on me)
So heavy on me
I'm never

    This is deep. I don't have a Jones but I got an addiction to my art, my craft and this is so relatable. Substitute any vice or desire or dream in there and the lyrics hit home. Damn... Great music transcends man, it just transcends...

  20. r.... ....

    I love that guitar!

  21. C.... L....

    This song has played a million times in the radio, but I didn’t pay it any mind. Riding with my daughter the other day and she was singing the hook. I tuned in for whatever reason. I told her that this was an old R&B artist. She googled it and said Raphael Saadiq. I said I knew it was one of the greats. I love this song now.

    C.... L....

    Kudos to ya daughter for making you discover the song, I was hooked up on it when I heard it on the radio. Great song .
