Music Monday with My Black Beauty!

Grammy Award winning producer, Jim Gaines, and I recorded several albums together before joining the legendary John Mayall.  Tearin' Me Up is one of my favorite tracks from that collaboration and is available now on The Essential Rocky Athas - Volume I.  Please enjoy & "share" with your friends!  

For all you guitar geeks, on this track I played my 1968 Gibson Custom Black Beauty and 1957 Les Paul Junior.  All guitars played on this album are listed on the exclusive alternate album art card included FREE with the purchase of the album HERE.

TEARIN' ME UP - Lyrics

Tearin' Me Up,

Why you do me like you do?

Tearin' Me Up,

When I'd do anything for you?

No matter what I do,

It just don't seem enough.

You're Tearin' Me Up.

 

Using me up,

Think I'm headed for a fall.

Using me up,

You'll be gone when you got it all,

Got it all.

Throwing my love away,

Like an old paper cup.

Using me up.

 

It's eating me up.

I don't see how this can last.

It's eating me up,

And I feel I'm fading fast.

It's like I'm addicted to you,

And I can't get enough

And it's eating me up.

No matter what I do,

It just don't seem enough.

You're Tearin' Me Up.
