GAVE IT ALL TO YOU
performed on:
Nick harmonizes while Janet sings lead beautifully on this 2000 demo running less than two minutes; a much longer band version was a contender for CHLD with Nick on vocals. That track was on Tina's summer 2003 acetate for the album that became CHILD, but was excised on both of Nick's versions of the LP.
i came home after a meeting
with the devil and his wives
i came home to eat my dinner
i was eating with knives
i ran out of forks
because i gave them all to you
when I got home that night
there were four things in my house
a pillow a bed a box and a horn
five if you count the mouse
the rest isn't here
i gave it all to you
i heard from the other man
you missed the red pillow
he kicked you away
i lent you my bed
you wanted to move
so i gave you the box
yeah i gave it all to you
then you took my horn
you picked it up and you
you played like miles, baby
you played like miles
it was like this
(yeah, then we should have like a really long good solo there)
that's when I knew
i would give it all to you
wherever i was
whatever i had
whoever you are
i'll give it all to you
