Little Milton - "Room 244"

I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to see Little Milton in concert the year before he passed.  I am so thankful that I got to see him perform and what a show!  He was a crowd pleaser and sang many of his greatest hits.  Here's one of his songs from back in the day. In "Room 244," he leaves his wife at home and meets his girlfriend at the same hotel that they always go to; they always stay in the same hotel room.  He admits that they never meant for their love to grow so strong but they're in so deep and they just can't leave each other alone.  Sounds like someone in this love triangle is going to get hurt!

I’m sorry darling that I’m a little bit late

But you see it wasn’t easy for me this time

For me to just slip away

She wanted a little of my time

And that’s why I had to stay

When you’re out here stealing love like we are

That’s the price you sometimes pay

So here’s the key, you know the floor

It’s the same old room we’ve used many times before

Put the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the door

We’re gonna make sweet, sweet love baby

In room 244, room 244

Now we never really meant for our love to grow strong, oh no

But we’re in so deep now baby

Oh we just can’t leave each other alone

So make yourself comfortable baby

While I let the desk clerk know

No, we don’t want to be disturbed

And we sure don’t want to hear no telephone

So let me hold you in my arms

Like I never held you before

We’re gonna make love slow and easy honey

Oh baby, in room 244, oh baby, room 244

I wish we had more time

Cause your love really blows my mind

And oh I wish that I was free

To plan a future for you and me

Now I know this might be wrong

But girl I just can’t leave your love alone

As sure as there are stars above

You know we can’t deny our love

So let me hold you in my arms

Like I never, never held you before

We’re gonna make love slow and easy honey

Oh baby, in room 244, oh girl, room 244

Here we are baby, in room 244, it’s the same, same old place

That we’ve been so many times before…

Enjoy!
