From the recording Be Good To Yourself - The Music
This ear-worm was plucked from "Dust Parade," the latest album by Temperance League, a veteran band from Charlotte. The DeFactos inadvertently extended the backing track - DeFactos are bad at math - and composer Bruce Hazel was asked to write another verse. He mentioned he would love to hear the song belted by a female. Enter Danielle Howle, who drove from S.C. with five pounds of fresh shrimp, knocked out a terrific vocal, and was gone. Hazel got his wish. The DeFactos got shrimp. The world got an evocative performance by a one-of-a-kind singer.

Lyrics
Something’s gotta come my way
Baby believe me
It’s the same old song
That I’ve been singing so long
Sooner or later now
Maybe on some sunny day
Baby believe it
If it goes all wrong
Don’t leave me alone
Sooner or later now
I don’t care what people say
I’m not worried I’m not afraid
Hope I ain’t standing your way
Oh I don’t owe nobody nothing
I ain’t trying to explain
Maybe you’ll see it my way
Sooner or later now
Baby things keep falling apart
Please believe me
Cross my heart
You crossed my mind
Sooner or later now
Just waiting on some kind of change
Baby believe it
If you’re willing to hold on
Just don’t lead me on
Sooner or later now
I don’t care what people say
I’m not worried I’m not afraid
I’m not standing your way
Oh I don’t owe nobody nothing
I ain’t trying to explain
Maybe you’ll see it my way
But sooner or later now
Took advantage of your patience and trust
Baby believe me
I know it’s been hard
But we’ve made it this far
Sooner or later now
Things have gotta work out for us
Baby believe it
It’s the same old song
That I’ve been singing so long
Sooner or later now
