Brook Benton - A Little Bit of Soap (Studio Version With Lyrics) video free download

A little bit of soap will wash away your lipstick from my face

Benjamin Franklin Peay was born on September 19, 1931 in Lugoff, South Carolina. When Peay was young he enjoyed gospel music and wrote songs. So in 1948 he went to New York to pursue his music career. He went in and out of gospel groups such as The Langfordaires, The Jerusalem Stars, and The Golden Gate Quartet. Returning to his home state, he joined a R&B singing group, The Sandmen, and went back to New York to get a big break with his group. The Sandmen had limited success, and their label, Okeh Records, decided to push Peay as a solo artist, changing his name to Brook Benton, apparently at the suggestion of label executive Marv Halsman.

Brook earned a good living writing songs and co-producing albums. He wrote songs for artists such as Nat King Cole, Clyde McPhatter (for whom he wrote the hit "A Lover's Question"), and Roy Hamilton. Soon he released his first minor hit, "A Million Miles. This song is itself not rare, but the publishers have made it unreasonably unavailable, for what good reason, I personally don't know. I uploaded this song, not to get back at them, but to make the song available on the internet, with correct lyrics, and I dedicate it to the memory of "the truck driver", Brook Benton. I hope this video will be available long enough to be enjoyed by you, the Brook Benton fan. Thanks!

Correct Lyrcs To: "A little bit of soap"

A little bit of soap will wash away

your lipstick on my face

But a little bit of soap

will never never never never ever erase

The pain in my heart

As I go through the lonely years

A little bit of soap oh! will never never wash away my tears

A little bit of soap

will wash away your powder from my chin

A little bit of soap

will never never never never ever begin

To take away the hurt that I feel

As I go through the lonely years

A little bit of soap will never never wash away my tears

Have you heard when love begins to die

You leave someone to cry every night and every day

Like a bird you left your robin's nest

Just like all the rest who flew away

Now a little bit of soap will take away your perfume eventually

But a little bit of soap will never wash away the memory

Of your name, in the night that I call through the lonely years

A little bit of soap

will never never never never never wash away my tears

And I never lose the memory of your name

as I call on you baby

As I live through these lonely years

Now A little bit of soap

will never never never never wash away my tears

Never wash away my tears

I said a little bit of soap

will never never never never wash away my tears

Mmmh, now a little bit of soap

Will never never never never never never never never

wash away my tears
