I can't get off my high horse



Timeslip moment again - and it's a corker!

An under-rated diva of our age, Miss Jocelyn Brown had her greatest (and biggest selling solo) hit this week in 1984.

Thirty years ago, queens like us were all doing the arm-movements while miming along to this one (and some of us still do)!


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 realise
Oh I realise
That you are somebody else´s guy

Oh yeah
Why you wanna do this to me boy?

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 realise 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 realise 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 so hooked on you
And then I realise that you´re somebody else´s guy


Phew!

  1. I must admit that I have no recollection of this song... It's obviously not bad though.

    1. Gosh. I always thought of it as a "standard" that everyone was familiar with. But then again, I do tend to "collect" OTT divas... :-)
