Lyrics:
A man we passed just tried to stare me down
And when I looked at you
You looked at the ground
I don't know who he is but I think that you do
Dad-gum-it! Who is he, and what is he to you?
Something in my heart and in your eye
Tells me he's not someone just passing by
And when you cleared your throat
Was that your cue?
Dad-gum-it!
Who is he, and what is he to you?
When I add the sum of you and me
I get confused and keep coming up with three
You're too much for one man but not enough for two
Dad-gum-it! Who is he, and what is he to you?
You tell me men don’t have much intuition
Is that what you really think or are you wishin’?
Before you wreck your old home be certain of the new
#BillWithers #WhoIsHe #AndWhatIsHeToYou #Blues #Soul - Hudba
One of the smooooooothest cats to ever touch a microphone. Rest well, Elder - you are with the Ancestors now.
Like you said !
Well said
He's in Grandma's hands now
Right
On
Never a Truer Comment made...You expressed so Well...Sleep Well ..Sleep Well...
"You're too much for one man but not enough for two?" That line is so smartly written, it's astonishing.

The SONG is smartly written..."something that in my heart is in your eyes....tell me hes not someone just passing by..."
This song is sooooo clutch!!! (wisdom)
My thoughts as well. I didn't expect she'll not be enough for two though, because she's been painted as quite a handful ;)
Bill Withers could write his ass off
One of the coolest songs ever written, perfectly executed. Dadgum it!
Dognab it 😂 Americans crack me up
Ever ever
@Kieran Mullen we usually say both 😊
Dadgum it this is awesome 😊
A lot of women turned this song around on their men.
Rest in Grandma's hands!
Amen brother Gregory kiddo.
Sleep in Peace brother. We lost one of THE greatest😔. You will be missed.
But part of his soul wil always be heard :)
Hi edagdwg God blessed this special man with the gift to pay attention don't play with me I'm the best you are blessed to have me. A forever loving fan Linda j.peace
Dude just slid "Dadgummit" into a song. Mr. Withers ain't nothing to be fuckin'with
I am not sure he is saying dagummit. I think he is saying "that guy I met there"=dagamettha. I am not sure, but that's what I hear
@@snit22 it's written in the lyrics as "Dadgummit". Hear it however you wanna hear it, it's an exceptional song 👍👍👍
@@pipp_988 it's easy enough to look up
@@gmfw9777ah didn't realise it was a real word
Lmfao.
Listen to the strings come in when he says, "And when I looked at you, you looked at the ground." That's storytelling!
Yes the the way it conveys the tension of that moment is a touch of genius.
You can tell by the lyrics that Brother Bill was a very wise man!!
I also love how neither the music nor the question is ever resolved
As a little girl hearing this, I could feel the anger in Bill's voice. He was feeling this one, Who dat?? LOL
He smoked this joint OG style
RIP to an awesome storyteller.
Don't be sad he's gone but happy, he was here
His smooth and soulful voice brought positive message of upliftment .Rest in peace maestro Bill Withers
I agree that his soulful voice often brought a positive message, but in this song it sounds like somebody's about to catch that smoke.
...And the smoke's not gonna clear 'til Bill says so!
@@leonardcharles59 same here.
Bill would love that people are still listening and talking about the music . I was at his house a couple of months ago , he was still talking about coming out of retirement and going back to Carnegie Hall , he still had that commanding voice even as he was slowing down and still talking a lot of stuff . I been reading a lot of beautiful comments about Bill and the music and voice he left behind and I want to give thank to you loyal fans of the groove from James Gadson , Melvin Dunlap and Ray Jackson who passed and I pray Bill and Ray are Groovin in eternity myself Benorce Blackmon , thank you for letting this music into your life .
Well written Mr. Blackmon.
I was born in 98, so Im still fairly young but I give thanks for guys like u letting people experience music like this in its realest sense...As some1 aspiring to be artist themselves I appreciate yall contribution to the craft...Thank You.
God bless you Mr. Blackmon.
Good to read your comment here brother, I know you've done some great stuff with bill and other bands aswell.
Respect for keeping the soul alive ♥️
Still listening in England. Thankyou for your contribution to this wonderful music.
such a masterpiece...its one of those songs that sticks to you...that bass line...tamborine....damn
He may be gone in flesh but he left his soul for the world to hear
🔥❤️🔥
R.I.P Bill. Outstanding singer/songwriter. We will miss you.
We sure will with out a doubt.
One of THE greats has just passed 😞😞😢 RIP Bill
It don't get any funkier than this! Too much for one man but enough for two...............
it is.." but" NOT" enough for two.!
Lol
.lol
It was The Hammer😮
He don’t strike me as the type that would lie while the song is about him he said nothing was going on between him and Denise
"Before u wreck ur old home..be certain of the new"!!..Daggummit this man had life lessons in his songs!! ...God Bless & God Speed! "Bill Withers" a True Soul music Legend!!👑🙏🏽💯💯
This right here.....One of the BEST song writers & tell it like it is vocalists of my lifetime. #Salute 🕯🌏
His voice sends a chill down my spine ,,,wonderful
That tambourine makes you shiver
This!
The world just got a little darker now that this wonderful legend is gone. RIP.
I lived through many instances of this from the same woman. I was the last to know and the whole town was laughing at me. I can laugh about it now. God pulled me through...
Damn, I'm sorry u went thru that. I almost left u a long comment bit then I relies u may not read this. But I am sorry. Love u and I reply hope u have someone special in Ur life now.
@@brodyszone157 You can still leave as long a comment as you please. I will read and respond. Much love to you too. And yes!! I divorced and have my soulmate. Sometimes we don't get it right the first time!!! 👍🏽❤
@@gl6996 how did you know it was your soulmate?
@@stephanniesenegal That inner something inside confirms when it's right. That inner something is the Holy Spirit that was within me that gave her to me even when I was too damaged to ask for her. But Almighty God gave me just enough sense to know in the midst of my storm. Trust in God.
The LEGENDARY Iconic musical Genius Mr Bill Withers
Bill Withers always created a powerful mood from the moment the song starts. I have to also give credit to whoever the musicians were and whoever arranged these masterpieces. They work together flawlessly - funky, danceable, profoundly felt, original (best and only use of dadgumit in the musical world!), and you wouldn't want to change a syllable or a breath in any of them. Thank you, Bill Withers, Master of your craft!
Love this man’s music. Happy Veterans Day Mr. Withers
Took days to get over the fact Bill Withers is gone. Appreciate him more than most artist. Shedding a tear tonight listening to him. He lived a long life. He played a big part in my short life by chance. Glad I continued on listening to Bill Withers after hearing one of his hits one day. Part of history and a great humble man. Love you Bill Withers
we are losing too many giants.. thank you bill..
I'm 63 and my music is dying.
We all got to leave hear.
He never sang a bad note, nor wrote a bad songs. His songs always touch the soul and make you think. I will never forget you Bill Withers and thank you for all the music you left behind.
That bass guitar keyboard riff is out of sight
Every once in a while I come to this record and listen to his voice. That part where he explained that he felt something wasn’t right in his heart, I could hear the paranoia and sadness in his voice. It reminds me of what I felt being in and out of chaotic relationships I was caught up in, betrayal,and some painful hardships that I have not healed from. However, with that being said listening to this song makes me feel like I’m not all alone and it gives me a sense of clarity..at 31 yrs old I realize music back then was created to touch your spirit and your soul.
It's a lot better than " bitch this and hoe that"
When real Black men make good music
R.I.P. Bill Withers. Deep n Funky.
Anthony Hamilton definitely got his inspiration from Mr. Withers.
One of the greatest songwriters, artists that has ever done it and STILL with us. Notice that the commercials on tv are using his songs to promote their products! So far, I counted 4 . I grew up with his music. As an adult, it's part of the soundtrack of my life. He earned that Hall of Fame induction. God bless him. 🙏🏽🙌🏽
Yes indeed. :)
Comment aged well.
Just saw an Uber eats commercial in the cinema with this song.
Me too.
He who feels it knows it.
Great soulful music...R.I.HEAVENLY PEACE!!!
RIP Sir, thank you for the music.
Bill Withers was not only a immensely talented man and musician, he was a incredible story teller so when he sung his songs you could feel the heart 💖 and soul of the words in the song 🌷🌷🌷✴
A * MILESTONE * in Black - Music - History ! A GREAT soul has gone to the spiritual world, his legacy stays with us
Bill was an important part of the American culture compared with the great ° Nina Simone °
Their strong Spirit, as well as many of these Visionaries, is still around and will be helpful to us to do this
< GIGANTIC MINDSHIFT > that happens NOW! We all get the chance to learn what it means to be a real human !
Music history, period.
Not black music history bro...music history. Period. End of story
The latest Uber Eats advert brought me here. Great backing bass line.
Bill is one of the most unknown artists for several of the greatest iconic songs. I have won more drinks off people on that point than I can count. He has a half dozen songs that everyone has heard and most even all the words but no clue who created it. Hell, just ask someone if they have ever heard of Bill Withers. More hits that still roll today, 50 years later, than 100 other artists they will know if you say their name.
Such a big loss. I am so thankful I was able to see him in concert, twice, in the 1970s. What a voice.
These songs are echoing through the ages. In awe of what he wrote and what he did.
Thank you for great soul music! R.I.P
Have a nice trip Bill Withers. Many times I wonder how "poor" musicians would become without this scale performers! 1938-2020
this is a masterclass about how to write a masterpiece with just one chord.
I wish today's music would sound like this.
Aloe Blacc is the closest to sounding like this.
Look up Nathaniel Rateliff and the Night Sweats...Andrew Bird..Cage the Elephant..Aloe Blacc even. Theres alot of bands out there that sound like they are from the 60s-80s..most just arent too mainstream so their music isnt promoted like all the other crap these days.
specifically Andrew Bird, he sounds alot like Bill Withers actually.
Sampha and Alabama shakes
I'm a young person and I do agree with you a 100%, majority of the songs made now are loaded with crap
The Great Brilliant Bill Withers nuff said.
He's definitely a phenomenon
Here he goes again , keeping me up past midnight and grinning about it! Oh well, I'm getting used to it!
Bill Withers was bad-ass. Brilliant tune
I just heard the news. DAAAYYYYYYUUMMMMM !!! R.I.P. to a very Soulful & Lyrical man.
R.I.P Bill Whiters april 3, 2020
WELCOME!! Much ❤️
The defiition of smooth
My oh my.... 💛
Rest easy, Bill Withers. #Legend.
Uber eats brought me here..
Doesn't matter what brought you there, just so long as you get there.
RIP Bill. You are a legend.
It's amazing how these songs tell stories of something that happened to you in real life one the best stories ever told.
OMG!! So Classic!!👏🏽👏🏽 R.I.P LEGEND 🙏🏾🙏🏾
LETS GET IT - " Too much for one man BUT not enough for two" - Damn
Sho Nuff - DA TRUTH, Tell it like it TIS !!!!!!!, Mr. Withers, you are an immortal treasure, God don't make em no better. Thanks for your psalms & songs. Amen
One of best jams and storytellers of all times! Peace!
Man this song is pure silk...😍
That was the baddest jam when first heard it.. And its still poppin now.. Yes. Rest in Peace .. My Brotha.
I had a slight crush on Bill because his songs were so something else. He told such attention grabbing stories when he sang. Loved him.
C’est vraiment une musique incroyable
Rest in Peace Brother Bill. Thank u sir
You could let go of everything and fall back into this track and you wouldn’t fall, it so thick with soul and talent
Maaan the first line just sends me everytime !! Smooth af
This just might be the coolest song ever written and performed 😎
A masterpiece...
This is for YOU Lil Dude.

R.I.P. Your smooth classy soulful sounds will always keep me paying homage to your legacy!
Thanks Brotha Bill!!
Uber eats have good taste
It's completely brilliant. Nuff said.
R.I.P brother Bill Withers❣️
I've only found this song because of am advert,I'm confused why is lovely day the song he's famous for?? He's a legend 🙌
There is much more ro Bill Withers than Lovely Day, that's for sure
This is the sound to the new Uber Eats advert. You're right Neil, he is an absolute legend.
RIP Bill Withers
❤ dadgum it!!
I've had this album since it came out-excellent.
Such a brilliant song writer....he left us such beautiful and soul touching music
My fave song of his. To me, this is not just about an unfaithful lover, but the hell of paranoia - when you can't quite trust your mind anymore.
You must be a paranoid Liberal
@@jbbrown5847 hahahaha ok brother. Good luck out there.
"Dadgumit'a..." 👍🏽😎
July 4th: Happy birthday Singer-Songwriter-producer Bill Withers; Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee; song "Lean On Me" inducted into Grammy Hall of Fame, Grammy Award: Best R&B Song: "Ain't No Sunshine." Thank you and God bless. Thanks for the upload, BillWithersVEVO. Blessings
The best
Wow
Why have I only heard this for the first time today?
I think I have a new favourite
Repeat
Repeat
Repeat
Uber eats advert brought me here. What a track 🔥🔥🔥🔥
This gives me James brown "boss" vibes. Man's got to do what he has to do sometimes no matter how weak or strong.
RIP Mr. Withers.
Thank you for your music.
You will be missed.
Ain't no sunshine right now RIP Bill
Damn this sounds good!! Wow Bill knew how to deliver a song! The vocals mixed with the lyrics and those real instruments in the background pared down so that you hear every instrument separately. Man. Rip bill. I add you and me and keep coming up with three?? Come on y’all?? Broke cheating all the way down. Loved this man.
R.I.P Bill, I love your music so much. What a great singer and songwriter! You will definitely live on a long time through your music.
Old School R&b!!!
Rest in Peace Mr Bill Withers. We thank God for the gift of your music. You enriched our lives, the world over.
