I Can't Get Off My High Horse

If you're not following The Kabs Family (Tay, Chan, Teija, Maliya, and TJ) you should - you can find them on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook.  They're a great bunch, currently living in London.  My favorite in the group is Maliya, the one who's singing here in this video.  The last song she sings is "Somebody Else's Guy" by Jocelyn Brown, a great tune from the eighties.  I love that Tay (the father) is teaching her some great old school tunes.  

After watching Mali sing, and bringing me back to a time when I was jamming out to these tunes myself, it made me Google the song. Here is Jocelyn Brown doing her song.  Sing along with the lyrics below:

     

Somebody Else's Guy

I-I-I-I... can't get off my high horse

And I can't let you go
You are the one who
You are the one who makes me feel
So real
Yeah yeah yeah
Oh! What am I supposed to do
Oh! What am I supposed to do baby
When I'm so hooked up on you
Then I realize
Oh I realize
That you are somebody else's guy
Oh yeah
Why you wanna do this to me boy?
(Ooh ooh ooh
Somebody else's guy)
Can you remember the times we spent together
Sharing our days in the sun
Then I found out that you were somebody else's
Lover
After all the plans we made, now were shattered
Still I can't get off my high horse
I can't let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh what am I supposed to do
When I'm hooked so on you
Then I realize that you're somebody else's guy
That day in September, I'm sure you can remember
That's when all the stuff hit the fan
You told me a lie and you didn't have an alibi
But baby yet I still cared
You know I loved you so baby that I can't let go
No, no
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh what am I supposed to do
When I'm hooked so on you
And realize you're somebody else's guy
You know I loved you so baby that I can't let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh what am I supposed to do
When I'm hooked so on you
And then I realize that you're somebody else's
Guy
(Oh I can't get off my high horse and I can't
Let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so
On you
And realize that you're somebody else's guy)
(Oh I can't get off my high horse and I can't
Let go
You are the one who makes me feel so real
Ooh, what am I supposed to do when I'm hooked so
On you
And realize that you're somebody else's guy)
I, I, I, I can't let you go no
See you are the one who makes me feel so real
What am I supposed to do
When I'm hooked so on you
Then I realize that you're somebody else's guy
(repeat chorus and adlib to fade)
