The first release on the Prescription Label founded by deep house legend Ron Trent. This is the most well-known rendition of Romanthony’s The Wanderer, oozing with a sense of mysteriousness and mourning, rendering this one of one of most sombre records to be found in deep house’s history.
Makes it...
[Intro]
Oh-
As the world's asleep
We lie awake and dream
We move through time
Looking in between the scenes
If there's a fear
Control it
If there's a tear
You don't have to hold it, no
It's designed to undress you
To strip you bare
To make a prison of your mind
But you can be free
You're almost there
[Chorus x4]
See it's the system
That makes you
A wanderer
O-
[Verse]
Through the streets we roam
Not looking for altercation
You see, this place should be a home
Not a place of restriction
[Chorus]
See it's the systеm
That makes you
A wanderer
It's thе system
That makes you
A wanderer
See it's the system
That makes you
A wanderer
See it's the system
It's the system
There's nothing left for me
No matter where I go
So I'll just keep on wandering
Until I lose control
Oh control of a feel
Of deep inside of me
I know it's so so clear
But here I'm soon to be
Cuz' I'm the wander
[Chorus x4]
It's the system
That makes you
A wanderer [the wanderer...]
[Verse]
I'll tell you how it started [ay]
In a room way down south baby
Jezebel came to me
And like a mother, o- she turned me on
She touched all the places, that made Adam turn to Eve
Made me leave my wife, my home, my job and family
Now I′m the wanderer
[Chorus x4]
It's the system
That makes you
A wanderer [the wanderer...]
[Verse]
She never loved me
Like her so called friends
Even if I had to kill her
And put a life, put a life to an end
I′ll never let a lust, take control of me
So I did, did it, did it
Set her soul, and her spirit free
Now I'm the wanderer
[Chorus x4]
It's the system
That makes you
A wanderer [Now I'm the wanderer...]
[Verse]
If you look closely
You can see it in my eyes
We are one in the same
So you better realize
You got to listen real close
And then you just might hear it
Crying like a baby, the sound of a wanderer's spirit
[Chorus x4]
It's the system
That makes you [Wanderer!]
A wanderer [Wanderer! Wanderer!]
Yeah! Yeah
[Verse]
Lots of towns, lots of places [yeah!]
And pretty women [o-!], seeing so many faces [uh!]
[Yeah!] So you better, believe! [mm!] Yeah, you better believe [mm!]
Yahoo! [x4]
Ohh!
[Outro]
You better believe! Yeah!
I said you better believe!
You better believe
I'll be wandering
I'll be wandering
I'll be wandering
I'll be wandering
