Jerry Garcia Band Lyrics

"When The Hunter Gets Captured By The Game"
(originally by Smokey Robinson)

Everyday brings change
And the world puts on a new face
Sudden things rearrange
And this whole world seems like a new place
Secretly I been tailing you
Like a fox that prays on a rabbit
I had to get you and so I knew
I had to learn your ways and habits

Ooh, you were the catch that I was after
I looked up and I was in your arms and I knew that I was captured

What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game

I had to lay such a tender trap
Hoping you might fall into it
Love hit me with a sudden slap
One kiss and then I knew it

Ooh, my plans didn't work out like I thought
'Cause I had laid my trap for you but it seems that I got caught

What's this whole world comin' to
Things just ain't the same
Any time the hunter gets captured by the game
