I’ll Let You Know (song lyrics)

By Roger Owens

The following lyrics should be read or spoken like a slow blues song, with pauses after each line.

I’ll get ’round to it
When I get time
But I never let nobody make up my mind.
But I will,
Yes I will,
Leave myself a reminder. Uh huh.
Until then...
I’ll let you know when.

When I get done with
What I’m doin’ now
I’ll think on how to make you happy somehow.
But you ain’t goin’,
You ain’t goin’,
To push me around. No no no.
Until then...
I’ll let you know when.

Just cool your jets boy
You ain’t makin’ sense
I sure don’t need your mule a’kickin’ at my fence.
Now you better,
Yes you better,
Just calm yo’ ass down. Uh-huh.
Until then...
I’’ll let you know when.

A bigger man than you
He messed with me
Gave me a big problem, just so he could see
What it’d do to me
But I caught him,
Yes I caught him, right under the chin.
Oh yes I did.
So until then...
I’ll let you know when.
