About Lowdown

"Lowdown" is a song originally recorded in 1976 by Boz Scaggs for his album Silk Degrees. The song was co-written by Scaggs and keyboardist David Paich. Paich, along with fellow "Lowdown" session musicians bassist David Hungate and drummer Jeff Porcaro, would later go on to help form the band Toto. Initially, Silk Degrees received a lukewarm commercial response and, similarly, the first single released from the album, "It's Over" barely cracked the top 40 on the Billboard Pop Singles chart, peaking at #38. .

Lowdown Lyrics

[00:27.26] Baby's into runnin' round
[00:31.22] Hangin' with the crowd
[00:32.85] Putting your business in the street
[00:34.94] Talkin' out loud
[00:36.02] Sayin' you bought her this and that
[00:37.44] And how much you done spent
[00:39.10] I swear she must believe
[00:41.10] It's all heaven sent
[00:43.01] Hey boy
[00:44.82] You better bring the chick around
[00:47.13] To the sad sad truth
[00:49.09] The dirty lowdown
[00:52.48] (Oooh oooh I wonder wonder wonder wonder who)
[00:59.47] Taught her how to talk like that
[01:00.95] (Oooh oooh I wonder wonder wonder wonder who)
[01:06.40] Gave her that big idea
[01:09.39]
[01:16.33] Nothin' you can't handle
[01:18.34] Nothin' you ain't got
[01:20.16] Put your money on the table
[01:22.29] And drive it off the lot
[01:24.18] Turn on that old lovelight
[01:26.30] And turn a maybe to a yes
[01:28.59] Same old schoolboy game
[01:30.86] Got you into this mess
[01:32.94] Hey son
[01:34.59] You better get on back to town
[01:36.89] Face the sad old truth
[01:39.03] The dirty lowdown
[01:40.90] (Oooh oooh I wonder wonder wonder wonder who)
[01:48.46] Put those ideas in your head
