bobby patterson, “she don’t have to see you (to see thru you)”
from: it’s just a matter of time, 1972
“You always thought
In a town this size
That you’d always
Have a place to hide
But you can’t
Can’t treat your woman right
If you’ve got another
One on the side
She don’t have to see you
She don’t have to see you
To see through you
You used to brag
To all your friends
Tell ‘em all about
Your other love
But you never thought
You never thought she’d been giving away
That very thing
That you’ve been getting plenty off
She don’t have to see you
She don’t have to see you
To see through you

Until You Came Along
Golden Smog
She can tell by the look in your eye
That you’ve been telling her lies
She don’t have to see you to see through you
How many times
Have you come home late at night?
Do you remember all the times
You got caught sneaking in?
And your woman
She never said a word
But she knew exactly
Where you’ve been
She don’t have to see you
She don’t have to see you
To see through you”
Do you find the songs or do the songs find you? This one first got a hold of me on a record by Golden Smog. As I was listening to it I thought, “Bet this is a cover of a soul song from the 60’s or 70’s. Bingo. Enter Bobby Patterson, a Texas soul stirrer with this little reminder of the teachings taught by unfaithfulness!
“One of the advantages of being disorganized is the joy of discovery.
