Fatalistic pacifist
Have left me off the guest list
And the show is on
I guess it's time to leave the scene
Apparently they just can't see
A spiraling situation
No hint of hesitation here
You an whose armys gonna drag me down
Me down today
You an whose armys gonna drag me down
Me down today
No one, no one, no one
Burning tires and gasoline
Have clouded up my disappearing memory
What we once knew is almost gone
Im falling out of touch
It never meant this much before
You an whose armys gonna drag me down
Me down today
You an whose armys gonna drag me down
Me down today
No one, no one, no one
(Yeah)
You and whose armys gonna
Drag me down, today
Nothing can harm me
You can say what you want to say
You and whose armys gonna
The songs done by me, are right out of the cd cover.
Why did you mention it?
You just want attention it's something you can't help but
Instead of you helping me you're looking for sympathy
So hold that thought and keep it under lock
Ill be happy to talk when you know what you want to do
Start moving around
Don't stand in the way
Stop bringing it down on a perfect day
Without thinking at all
You play the perfect game
Stop bringing it down on a perfect day
Im on a tear and you're stuck to the chair
And you aint coming out of your room
You don't see right when you turn on the light
Cause now you see more easily the things that might come
back on you
Start moving around
Don't stand in the way
Stop bringing it down on a perfect day
Without thinking at all
You play the perfect game
The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close to
And now you're almost full grown
I really should've known
If I left you on your own
You wouldn't do like you're supposed to
Why'd you lie?
Don't want to hear no alibis
Don't want to know the reasons why
You left me here to cry
While you were out there loving him
And now you're acting real nice
You're all sugar and spice
You've already thrown the dice
Your chances are real slim
Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?
You'd better make a correction
To all this deception and start treating me right
'Cause we had discussed it 'til I was disgusted
There's one thing that I have to say
All about sleeping in another man's bed
Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?
The very first rule
That you learned in school
Was that you shouldn't try to fool
The people you're close to
And now you're almost full grown
I really should've known
If I left you on your own
You wouldn't do like you're supposed to
Why'd you lie?
Why'd you lie?
Way down south, where the mangroves grow
Deep in the swamp down in the Bayou
There's a little story that's never been told
About a pretty widow who never grows old
And how she buried her soul with her wedding ring
Traded it off for that voodoo thing
She moves like the wind got a fire in her eyes
Well, she can bring down rain from the clear blue skies
Make the sun go down with a wave of her hand
Well, she can make a king of an ordinary man
She's gonna make you dance, she's gonna make you sing
When she gives you some of that voodoo thing
Ooh my voodoo thing
Like a heart held close to the edge of a knife
One kiss from her lips turn my blood turn to ice
I tried to run by the light of the moon
I said I'll never be back, but I spoke too soon
Well, she made me dance and she made me scream
Did she give me some of that voodoo thing?
The voodoo thing, ooh, my voodoo thing
Aboard a train, I met a dame
She was a hipster
Man a real gone dame
She wasn't pretty
For New York City
As we strut down on that Ol' Fairlane
With a heave and a ho
Well, I just couldn't let her go
Get along
Sweet little woman, get along
On your way, get along
Sweet little woman, get along on your way
With a heave and a ho
Well, I just couldn't let her go
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave and a ho
I just couldn't let her go
I made a stop 'round Albuquerque
She must'a thought, I was real gone jerk
Got off the train at El Paso
A' looking so good I couldn't let her go
Get along
Sweet little woman, get along
Well, the train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
The train kept a rollin' all night long
With a heave and a ho
They tell me Tin Pan Alley
The roughest place in town
They start cuttin' and shootin'
As soon as the sun goes down
Oh, tell me
What kind of place can the alley be?
Oh, every woman I guess
Lord, the alley takes away from me
When I need my baby
She can't be found
She got up early in the mornin'
She was ten pound alley bound
Oh, tell me
What kind of place can the Alley be?
Every woman I guess
Lord, the alley takes away from me
I heard a pistol shoot
Somebody groan
Some woman shot my baby
Left on that jokers arms
Oh, tell me
What kind of place can the alley be?
Every woman I guess
Lord, the alley takes away from me
I'll really miss my baby
Because I need my baby
I'll really miss my baby
These arms of mine, they are lonely
Lonely and feelin' blue
These arms of mine, they are yearning
Yeah, yearning from wanting you
And if you would let them hold you
How grateful, grateful I would be
These arms of mine, they are burning
Burning, from wanting you
These arms of mine, they are wanting
Wanting, want to hold you
And if you, you would let them
Let them hold you, let them hold you
Grateful, grateful I would be
Yeah, come on, come on, baby
Yeah, just me and my woman
Me and my friend
Yeah, come on, come on
Come back to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, and I'm grateful
Eyes turned away I know
And music soft and slow
With someone you love so
That's where it's at
Yeah, your world turned upside down
You're making not a sound
No one else around
That's where it's at
Yeah, let me tell you
Your heart beatin' fast
You're knowin' that time won't last
But a hopin' that it lasts
That's where it's at, oh yeah
That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at, oh yes, it is
That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at, oh yeah and oh yeah
Let me tell you just one thing
To say it's time to go
And she says, "Yes, I know"
But just stay one minute more
That's where it's at
Oh, let me say it one more time
That's where it's at, pretty baby
That's where it's at, I know that's where it's at
That's where it's at, pretty baby
Late last night I was dreamin'
I was dreamin' of your charms
And I was standin' on the edge of love baby
With you in my arms
Well, you whispered sweet things and you told me
You told me that you'd love me and you'd always be true
And that you'd stand on the edge of love with me
And I'll stand with you
That's why I'm standin' on the edge of love
And I'm just about to slip and fall
That's why I'm standin' on the edge of love baby
Waitin' on your call
Well, a young man's mind will wonder
And wander off to distant shores
And if you'd just come here and stand with me
I won't wander no more
Well, I promise that I'll stop all of my gamblin'
Stop stayin' out late all night
Might even settle down, baby
Treat ourselves right
Yeah, don't you know that's why I'm standin' on the edge of love
And I'm just about to slip and fall
That's why I'm standin' on the edge of love baby
Waitin' on your call
One more time, yeah
Standin' on the edge of love
Yeah, that's why I'm standin' on the edge of love
And I'm just about to slip and fall
That's why I'm standin' on the edge of love baby
Waitin' on your call
Yeah, that's why I'm standin' on the edge of love
And I'm just about to lose my mind
That's why I'm standin' on the edge of love baby
She's roaring like her 20's,
like there ain't no tomorrow.
living in the past,
makes yeaterday seem modern.
Fascinating culture,
creeping up like ivy.
Throw away the structure,
your enemy's need sympathy.
(chorus)
I just want to live in luxury,
with all those diamonds danglin over me.
Take me from this poverty,
Sell my soul, keep us all in the money.
Smokin' like a sinner,
she isn't a begginer.
She gets into a pintowm,
and drives back to vancouver.
She lives with her mother,
try's to be a sister.
It really doesn't matter,
cause a dream is everything.
(chorus)
I just want to live in luxury,
with all those diamonds danglin over me.
Take me from this poverty,
Sell my soul, keep us all in the money.
Step into this speakeasy,
where you can be who you want to be.
There's no trouble here just speak to me,
and i closed my eyes and dreamed we were all in the money.

Take me from this poverty,
When I closed my eyes I dreamed that we were all in the money.

Something's Goin' on in my room,

Here's the reason
I try to make you feel better
I'm the reason
That you ever feel bad at all
At least I'm good at something
I just wish it was something good
Something good
Something good has got to happen
And if I wait it'll be too late
For something good
Take a picture
From when we didn't know better
Take a look
At how we looked so good together
What you don't know won't hurt you
You're hurting now you know, you know
Something good
Something good has got to happen
And if I wait it'll be too late
For something good, something good
At least I'm good at something
Now I just wish it was something good
Something good, something good
Something good has got to happen
And if I wait, it'll be too late
For something good, something good
Feel like flyin?, baby, gonna take a rocket to the moon
Feel like flyin?, baby, gonna take a rocket to the moon

When I come down, honey, landed in the middle of the sea
When I come down, honey, land me in the middle of the sea

You're sittin' there yackin',
Right in my face,
I guess I'm goin to have to put you in your place
If silence was golden,
You couldn't raise a dime,
Because your mind is on vacation
And you mouth is workin' overtime
You're quotin' figures,
And dropin' names,
You're tellin' stories,
About the days,
You're over laughin',
When things 'aint funny,
You're tryin' to sound like the big, big money
If talk was criminal,
You'd lead a life of crime,
Beacause you mind is on vacation,
And your mouth is workin' overtime
Your life is short,
And talk is cheap,
Don't be makin' promises,
That you can't keep,
Don't like my song,
Just grin and bear,
All I can say is, if the shoe fits, won't you wear it,
And if you must keep talkin',
Please try to make it a ryhm
Becasue your mind is on vacation,
And your mouth is workin' overtime
Your mind is on vacation,
Yeah, your mind is on vacation,
I said your mind is on vacation,
Well, your mind is on vacation
Becasue your mind is on vacation,
When I got home
I knocked on the door
I heard a strange voice
That I never heard before
Somethin's goin' on in my room
Somethin's goin' on in my room
Yeah, the way the house is shakin'
I better find out soon
Well, I looked in the window
I couldn't see a thing
The only thing I heard
Was a telephone ring
Somethin's goin' on in my room
Somethin's goin' on in my room
Well, the way the house is rockin'
I better find out soon
Well, you can rock it like a robot, shake it like a ragin' sea
Yeah, rock it like a robot, shake it like a ragin' sea
Well when I get in, you better have somethin' for me
Yeah, come on
Yeah, come on
Well I hollered, oh baby
I'm gonna break in
I heard somebody scream
Once more before it ends
Somethin's goin' on in my room
Somethin's goin' on in my room
Well, the way the house is shakin'
I better find out soon
When I broke down the door
I stepped in the room
I saw my old lady drunk
And dancing with the broom
That's what's goin' on in my room
That's goin' on in my room
Well, my baby got high
And rocked like a big cyclone
Well, rock it like a robot, shake it like a ragin' sea
Well, rock it like a robot, shake it like a ragin' sea
I'm gonna send my baby a brand new 20 dollar bill
I'm gonna send my baby a brand new 20 dollar bill
If that don't bring her I know something that will
Lake Michigan ain't no river Chicago ain't no Hillie town
Lake Michigan ain't no river Chicago ain't no Hillie town
She won't do nothin' to tear my reputation down, well
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
I know my baby she just shook
And jumped and shout
My baby left town you know she left me a mule to ride
My baby left town you know she left me a mule to ride
Train left the station my mule let down and died, well
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
Shout baby shout
I know my baby she just shook
And jumped and shout
I know my baby she just shook
Too many miles to understand
How I let you slip through my hands
Tell me what can I do?
I crashed my hope and learned to lose
I watched the darkness make it's move
Yeah, there's no life without you
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
Kicking holes into the long night
I tried so hard to get it right, yeah, yeah
Now I'm standing in the shadow of love
You're still all that I'm thinking of
I'm standing in the shadow of love without you
The world I know, it disappears
The words I speak are hard
To hear and nobody cares
I cross the line and trip the wires
Fell into a dirty fire, I've been burning
There's no life without you
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
Kicking holes into the night
I tried so hard to get it right, get it right
I'm standing in the shadow of love
You're still all that I'm thinking of
I'm standing in the shadow of love without you
Time to kill the pain you gave me
Time to lose the shame that shamed me
Shadow of you made me lonely
Just because [unverified]
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
Kicking holes into the long night
I tried so hard to get it right, get it right
Now I'm standing in the shadow of love
You're still all that I'm thinking of
I'm standing in the shadow of love without you

Where, where, beware
Where is that saviour?

She's as free as a blue horizon
Im a slave to this gravity
And every night i hope and pray that she'll come back down to me
I keep my eyes on the stars
I track the heavens above my lonely world
im tracking her trajectory
shes my baby, shes my little satellite
we met at the lunar hilton
on a sea of tranquility
and maybe i was dreamin
but we was shacked up at the honeymoon suite
she was a wonderful girl
it was a heavenly night
but the stars were wrong
i woke up she was gone
like a memory just out of site
Now looka' here Safronia

I want a little girl to be all mine
in the winter time
Now when the rain starts rainin'
the snow starts snowin'
Reach out to turn on your radio

cause the chicks are rarin' to go
Well you reach under your bed

The train is ready to break into sunlight
Heading full speed downtown
But here inside it in the last compartment
Feels like the suns never comin around
But I know my lucks gonna change
Cause were together
Your luck will be the same
You know I hate it when I see you cry
I hate it when I see you cry
Used to be so easy
When were lost in each other
We just whiled away the days
And other peoples troubles
In the morning paper
They seemed a million miles away
Before we knew it
Their luck was ours
And it meant bad news
When I bought you flowers
You know I hate it when I see you cry
I hate it when I see you cry
Hope is rare
So when I feel it I try
To share it with you
And I'll tell you why
Ill never get used to it
And you know I can't lie
Its a fact of life
You know I can't deny
You know I hate it when I see you cry
Well, look there, look there, look there, look there, ooh, wee
Look there, look there, look there, ooh wee
Ooh, ahh, ooh, ahh, ooh, wee
Well, she's so fine, fine, fine, she's so fine, fine
She's so fine, she's so fine, fine, fine
She's really sweet, the finest girl you ever wanna meet
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Reet petite, the finest girl
You ever wanna meet
Well, have you ever seen a girl for whom your soul you'd give
For who you'd fight for, die for, pray to God to live?
'Cause she's so fine, she's so fine
She's really sweet, the finest girl you ever wanna meet
Well, she really fills her clothes from head to toe
I want the world to know I love her, love her so
She's all right, she's all right
She's all right, she loves me day and night
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Reet petite, the finest girl
You ever wanna meet, ohh
Well, she's like honey from a bee, like peaches from a tree
I love her, need her, she means so much to me
She's all right, she's got what it takes
She's got what it takes and with me she really rates
Well, ohh, now, she's my cutie, my tutti frutti
My heart, my love, my bathing beauty
She's all right, she's got just what it takes
She's got what it takes and with me she really rates
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Reet petite, the finest girl
You ever wanna meet
Reet petite, the finest girl
You ever wanna meet
Reet petite, the finest girl
Bells will be ringing this sad sad New Years
Oh, what a Christmas to have the blues
My baby's gone, I have no friends
To wish me greetings once again
Cries will be singing Silent Night
Christmas carols by candlelight
Please come home for Christmas
Please come home for Christmas
If not for Christmas, by New Years night
Friends and relations send salutations
Sure as the stars shine above
But this is Christmas, yes, Christmas, my dear
The time of year to be with the ones you love
So won't you tell me you'll never more roam?
Christmas and New Years will find you home
There'll be no more sorrow no grief and pain
And I'll be happy, happy once again
Oh, there'll be no more sorrow, no grief and pain
Another day passes and you don't call
Getting to know every crack in the wall
If there's a good reason for this
It's a secret you're keeping
Can't make a move and I don't know why
As if I don't have the reason to try
But the sun keeps coming around
Without me sleeping
You're going away now baby
With nothing to say
And nothing makes sense to me lately
Of all the things to throw away
It's like cleaning up the streets after the fireworks
All of this beauty's turned to dust and to dirt
No relief from the light of dawn
When it takes over
I'm hoping you feel something missing
That you had yesterday
I'm wondering what you were thinking
And I'm wondering now
Of all the things to throw away
Of all the things to throw away
You're gone away from me
All I've got to say
I'm hoping you come to your senses
All the things to throw away
All the things to throw away
Don't you think it's fair to say
Lot of things to throw away
Throw it away
I'm throwing away
I'm drivin' crazy
Honey, no more foolin', foolin' 'round with you
Honey, no more foolin', foolin' 'round with you
I'm gonna let you go, baby, that's what I've got to do
Well, I thought that you loved me how, I thought it was true
You taken my money and you play me for fool
No more foolin', foolin' 'round with you
I got to let you go, baby, that's what I've got to do
Well, I take you out the streets and I made you fine
You spend my money on whiskey, beer and wine
No more foolin', foolin' 'round with you
I got to let you go, baby, that's what I've got to do, oh
Well, you said that you love me and you told me a lie
Well, yes, I'll love you until the day I die
No more foolin', foolin' 'round with you
I got to let you go, baby, that's what I've got to do
Mythical Wonders,
Sunny day.
Slowly passing,
the days away.
Waiting for you,
you to come.
You to come to see what I've become.
(chorus)
This one's for you,
This one's for you.
This one's for you,
This one's for you.
Its time we recognized it
Its time we tried to see it for what it is
There's nothing underlying it baby
There aint another picture as clear as this
What you gets what you see
There aint no mystery to me
No evidence to doubt talking
No slight of hand or working behind the scenes
The way you tell the story baby
So complicated, don't even know what it means
What you gets what you see
There aint no mystery to me
What you gets what you see
There aint no mystery to me
No doubt talking
No sleight of hand
No behind the scenes
That's the way I am
No double talking
No behind the back
No behind the scenes
No behind the scenes
What you gets what you see
What you don't like to think about
Is what you probably should forget
You can't take it with you where you go
Get out while you can
Try to clear your head
Go where the goings good
You been where the goings been
If it don't feel like it should
Go where the goings good
Hold those tickets in your hand
There's keys in the car for you when you land
If I don't hear from you again
Ill know you grabbed the reins
And listened to what I said
Go where the going is good
You been where the goings been
If it don't feel like it should
Go where the going is good
You could waste all of your life
Waiting for your time to come around
But you know it don't seem right
To sit around and lose the happiness youve found
Go where the going is good
You been where the goings been
If it don't feel like it should
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Merry Christmas, baby
Sure did treat me nice
Bought me diamond rings for Christmas
I feel like I'm in paradise
Be at my side, I got music on my radio
Feel my vibe, I got music on my radio
I feel like I'm going to kiss you underneath the Mistletoe
Santa's coming down the chimney half past three

Oh how could this be
this jealousy
I'm starting now to understand
but everything you do
and every single move
is under my skin again
And I take it harder than I should
'cause' when you play around with something this good.
Anyone can make a mistake
But only you can cause my heart to break
You should know by now
that I've never known how
to let it go easily
So I'm asking you
to really think it through
You ask so much of me
As simple as it should be
'cause' when it comes to you
you're all I can see
Anyone can make a mistake
Well, my room has got two windows
But the sun don't ever shine through
And I've been so sad and lonely
Since I broke off, baby, with you
I live on a lonely avenue
Since you said that we were through
I feel so sad and lonely
And it's all because of you
I could cry or I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Yes I do, lonely avenue
Well, my pillow is made of lead
And my cover is made of stone
And I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to being alone
I live on a lonely avenue
Since you said that we were through
And I feel so sad and lonely
And it's all because of you, baby
I could cry, yeah, I could die
I live on a lonely avenue
Don't you know children it's a lonely avenue
Play your guitar
Oh children, this is a lonely avenue
Well, my pillow is made of lead
And my cover is made of stone
But I toss and turn every night
I'm not used to being alone
I live on a lonely avenue
Since you said that we were through
And I feel so sad and lonely
And it's all because of you
I could cry or I could die
Oh, I live on a lonely avenue
Lord, ain't this a lonely avenue
Well, well, it's a lonely avenue, tell him now
Come out here on the floor.
Let's rock some more.
Come out here on the floor,
Honey, let's rock some more, yeah!
Now when you get out here
Don't you have no fear.
Put your hands on your hips
And let your backbone slip
And work out.
Momma, move up
Honey move back
Shuffle to the left
Wobble to the right
Now it's plain to see
You put a hurtin' on me
It's a natural fact
I like it like that,
So work out!
Yeah, baby let's shout
Chop, shout and turn it out
Baby let's shout
Shout and work it out. Yeah
Let's shout!
Let's shout!
Shout all night long!
Guitar 2 Turnarounds
Round and round we go,
Where we stop, nobody knows.
Round and round we go,
Don't you know, don't you know
Yeah.
The band is swinging on the stand,
We're moving in, we're moving out.
If we'll step back now end this dance with a shout,
So let's shout!

Chop and shout and work it out
Baby, let's shout!
Chop and shout and work it out
Yeah,

Oh, the weather outside is frightful
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow
Let it snow
Let it snow
It doesn't show signs of pause ping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
Let it snow
Let it snow
Let it snow
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still good-bying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow
Let it snow
i know you don't love me no more
you're not the kind that would tell me so
so, be a woman and talk to me
if that the way that you'd rather be
feel sorry for me in one way
you've got to hurt me by telling me someday
so, get it over baby
please stop leadin' me on
you're feeling miserable and i'm the cause
and feeling sorri won't help me long
i really hate to see you living this way
but i'll go on and i'll make it someday
i know you don't love me no more
you're not the kind that would tell me so

sometimes it takes a little more than luck
sometimes it takes a piece right a you
and when you think that youve seen enough
you realize that your breaking all through
sometimes the deeper you go
brings you closer to the lighter day

Well I got stones in my pathway
And my road seems dark at night
I got stones in my pathway
And my road seems dark at night
I got pains in my heart
And they've taken my appetite
When I first saw you I heard the angels sing
I thought of Adam and Eve and that love thing
Oh, I was blinded by the light and I just couldn't see
Papa hidin' up in your apple tree
I really hope you're satisfied
I just came back to say goodbye.
Girl I found your little black book
You know I opened it up to get a second look
(I had to get a second, second look)
I saw my best friend's name there on the page
Five gold stars beside his name
I really hope you're satisfied
I just came back to say goodbye
(CHORUS)
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I felt real bad thought I'd give you a call
I didn't look up your number I just looked on the wall
You know your best friend said you'd gone for the night
Goin' downtown with your jeans on tight
I really hope you're satisfied
I just came back to say goodbye
(CHORUS)
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I just came back to say goodbye
(I just came back) Goodbye baby
I just came back to say goodbye
It seems the clock is always
Stuck at 10 to 2
Cause that's the time
That you walked out
And I lost you
I decided I would stay
And wait it out
Hoping I could still be
All you cared about
It aint over yet
No it aint over
You never gave me
Half a chance to prove myself
It did me in when you took up
With someone else
Now I can tell you
I am made of stronger stuff
Ill convince you
If I hold on long enough
It aint over yet
No it aint over yet
I know you packer your bags
And left
And it's as bad as it can get
But it aint over yet
Some say that when I lost you
I lost my mind
But really
Im seeing clearer all the time
If you need me
Why don't you call me?
Said if you need me
Why don't you call me?
Don't wait too long
When things go wrong
I'll be there, yeah
Where I belong
Said if you want me
Why don't you send for me?
Said if you want, want, want
All you gotta do is send for me
Don't wait too long
Justa pick up your phone
I'll be there, right there
Where I belong
People always told me, darling
That you didn't mean me no good
But I know deep down in my heart
I've done the best I could
And one of these days, darling, it won't be long
You're gonna come walking through that door
And I know in my mind these are the very words
You're gonna say to me
I still love you
Always thinking of you
I still love, love, love
Always thinking of you
Don't wait too long
When things go wrong
I'll be there, right there
They say it gets so hot that you could almost scream
this world can be so cold that sometimes
you just don't know how your gonna survive
listen baby
Chorus:
I'll always be there for you
pick you up when you fall
You never needed anyone
you couldn't swallow your pride
now your back's to the wall
If you lean on me I will lean on you
put your hand in mine we can make it through
I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm
When it's cold outside I can keep you warm
If you lean on me
thie skies get so grey
you think there's no way the sun will ever shine
trouble resting on your mind with nowhere to find
Listen baby
Chorus
You think you're the only one to get kicked around
There's been a lot of hearts broken in this dirty old town
If you lean on me
lean on me
(x4)
I'll always be there for you
pick you up when you fall
everybody needs a helping hand
you've gotta swallow your pride
yeah and kick down the wall
If you lean on me I will lean on you
put your hand in mine we can make it through
I'll be your backbone girl shelter from the storm
When it's cold outside I can keep you warm
You've been gone so long
So I wrote this song
Oh so you can hear me
Cause it's been so long
Since you were near me
What' you want me to do
I've been lost without you
What did I do wrong
Oh to cause you to leave me
Since you've been gone
Done nothing but grieve me
What' you want me to do
I've been love without you
I don't care what' you been doing
Just come back home
Darlin' your leaven my life to ruin
I'm so all alone
Well I cried all night
Oh just thinkin' about you
Well you know it ain't right
I can't live without you
What did I do wrong
I've been lost without you
I don't care what' you been doing
Just come back home
Darlin' your leaven my life to ruin
I'm so all alone
Well I cried all night
Oh just thinkin' about you
Well you know it ain't right
I can't live without you
What did I do wrong
I've been lost without you
I've been lost without you
I've been lost without you

If only in my dreams
I'll be home for Christmas
You can plan on me
Please have snow and mistletoe
And presents on the tree
Christmas Eve will find me
Where the love light gleams
I'll be home for Christmas
Whenever the sunshine comes through
Whenever my thoughts turn to you
Whatever you want me to do, I will be there
Whether I crawl uphill, try to not being through the mill
Just as long as I fit the bill, I will be there
If it's on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And you're drinking champagne and wine
Anytime I don't mind and even if I've got the blues
After I pay all my dues you decide to go for a cruise
I will be there
And if it's on a lazy afternoon in summertime
And you're drinking champagne and wine
Anytime I don't mind and even if I've got the blues
I've been tired of paying oh so many dues
And you decide to go for a cruise, yeah
Going to grab my razor and my suitcase
And my toothbrush and my overcoat

Sitting on the front step
Watching the world go by
And looking up
To the buildings to the sky
I can see a jet stream
Someone else is moving on
So I walk
And let the world
Just pull me along
Im starting to roll
On the greatest hits
When I get on a roll
Ive got to go with it
Moving out into space
Going by in a blur
This is how it feels getting higher
Its stormy but the suns out
Everything is up in the air
Cant slow me down
Cause half the fun is getting there
Im giving into something
I really know nothing about
But it feels good
To let go and let it out
Im starting to roll
On the greatest hits
When I get on a roll
Ive got to go with it
Moving out into space
Going by in a blur
This is how it feels getting higher
Nothing is certain
Everything is moving around me
Nothing is hurting
Everythings good that surrounds me
Im starting to roll
On the greatest hits
When I get on a roll
Ive got to go with it
Moving out into space
Going by in a blur
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better take back the glance that you shot across the
room at me back before the lights were low
Cause that got me thinking bout not going home and that
you might even have a better place to go
That smile and the curve of the lip under eyes that
must have sank about a thousand ships
That shift of the hips to the side that does me in no
matter how had I try
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
You move better then water over rocks or a breeze
through the trees on the hottest of days
Everybody wants to feel what you deal and then wait for
the chance. I guess some even pray
But I pray that the voice inside that says hey what's
the harm in taking that for a ride?
Don't win out over rhyme and reason and I lose what I
have for having something on the side
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
I realize that I gotta take a breath and start thinking
about something thatll cool me down
When you get up from the chair and start dancing and I
break out into a sweat as you shake it around
I aint moving a muscle but ive run about a mile just
fighting with myself and putting on this smile
Im leainin on the wall just to hold me up trying to get
my mind to move to less dangerous stuff
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
Better watch what we do tonight
Or were gonna get carried away
So I pray that the voice inside that says what's the
harm in taking that for a ride
Don't win out over rhyme and reason and I lose what I
have for having something on the side
Better watch what we do tonight
Night, is the time for the hunger
Through these rooms, you and I, we wander
Too much, too long, holding back the tears
I wait, do hard labor and I count the years
Hey, soon the angels will unlock the sun
Break away these chains, yeah, and turn away the gun
Nothing is better than the freedom
Yeah, nothing is better, yeah, than the freedom
Let the law take a man from his family
See the evil on the fences down the highway
Too bad, so sad to be on the lam
(Too bad, so sad)
From my home I must crawl on my knees and hands
Hey hey, and soon the angels will unlock the sun
(Soon the angels will unlock the sun, hey hey)
Break away these chains, yeah, and turn away the gun
Yeah, nothing is better than the freedom
(Nothing is better, nothing's better than the freedom, oh yeah)
Yeah, nothing is better than the freedom
(Oh, nothing, nothing's better)
Yeah, nothing is better than the freedom
(Nothing, nothing's better, nothing's better than the freedom, oh yeah)
Yeah, nothing is better than the freedom
(Nothing, nothing's better)
Nothing is better than the freedom
(Nothing's better than the freedom)
Nothing is better than the freedom
Yeah, nothing is better than the freedom
(Nothing, nothing's better, nothing's better than the freedom)
Nothing is better, yeah, than the freedom, yeah
(Nothing, nothing's better, freedom)
(Is better, is better than the freedom)
Ooh baby, nothing, nothing is better
(Nothing, nothing is better)
(Ain't nothing, ain't nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing, nothing)
Nothing's better, yeah hey
Well, I see ya
Holdin' hands with your lover
And you're makin' plans with each other
It fits real good on you
Well, don't worry
I didn't come to make things strange
'Cause there's a reason that things change
There's nothin' we can do
And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
Your girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
When you see me
Do you remember the times when we traveled
South of the borderline?
When love was young, time was on our side
We danced in the Rio Grande
And we listened to all the Mexican bands
Singin' songs of love
When our hearts were young, yeah
And it's been five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
The girls have grown
She sees right through my thin disguise
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
Oh, yeah
Five long years
Five long years
Five long years
Since I've seen your lovely eyes
Things have changed
You see right through my thin disguise
She sees right through me, yeah
You know I still love you
You knew I'd never change
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
And it's been five long years and I love you
Just the same
Yes baby, oh yeah
Five long years
Well, I feel so good

About something she heard
Now look a here momma
Don't you believe a word
We're gonna boogie

Till the break of day
You know, the old folks boogie
Young folks too

Till the break of day
Well, I feel so good
We're gonna boogie
We're gonna boogie
All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash, static and snow
Far away like a radio
I was ridin' shotgun with the driver
The lovers and the rounders
Come along with me to L.A.
Me and my bride
On a Greyhound back
She took a piece outta me
That I'll never get back
All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash, static and snow
Far away like a radio
Ghost in a shot glass
And lonely all around
Can't help but catch a buzz
When you come into this town
Darkness in a box
Man, you better send a scout
There's doors to keep you in
But none to let you out
All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash, static and snow
Far away like a radio
Head on my shoulder
And mouth just catchin' flies
Stranger outta stories
Has just talked himself dry
Half of him will make it to LA
By tomorrow
The rest of him will have to make
A beg, steal or borrow
One end of town
Laughin' at the other
They got ragin' home records
Makin' welfare mothers
Street hosed down
When the dawn breaks slow
Shinin' like a mirror
So all the shadows won't show
All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash, static and snow
Far away like a radio
All the happy endin's
That I've heard about
Stories left unwritten
We'll have to figure it out
All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash, static and snow
Far away like a radio
All broke down, comin' in low
Far away like a radio
Red lights flash, static and snow
Lately I just don't sleep at night
Can't seem to get no rest
Always the same old story
And the same old test
Honey please believe me
Believe when I say
There can never be a greater love for me
There can be no other way
But now it's time to rest these weary eyes
I'm tired of all the stories and the lies
Cause there ain't nothing that I would not do
Cause I've gone crazy babe
I've gone crazy over you
Crazy
Over you
Over you
Crazy
Just keep it nice and simple
We'll make it easy as it can
Cause I want you to see I need you with me
You just got to understand
Baby please believe
Believe when I say
There can never be a greater love for me
There can be no other way
But now it's time to rest these weary eyes
I'm tired of all the stories, all the lies
Cause there ain't nothing, nothing that I, nothing that I would not doâ⬦ oh
Cause I've gone crazy babe
I've gone crazy over you
Crazy
Over you
Over you
I've gone crazy over you
Crazy
From Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Yeah, from Coney Island to The Sunset Strip
Somebody's gonna make a happy trip
Tonight, while the moon is bright
He's gonna have a bag of crazy toys
To give the groanies of the boys and girls
So dig, Santa comes on big
He'll come a callin' when the snows the most
When all you cats are sleepin' warm as toast
And you gonna flip when the Old Saint Nick
Takes a lick on the peppermint stick
He'll come a flyin' from a higher place
And fill the stocking by the fire place
So you'll, have a yule that's cool
Have a yule that's cool
How'd ya like to stay up late, like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true
How'd ya like to stay up late like the islanders do?
Wait for Santa to sail in with your presents in a canoe
If you ever spend Christmas on Christmas Island
You will never stray, for everyday
Your Christmas dreams come true

Well get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town
I said get out of my way, I'm a leaving this town

But nothing in the sack
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes to town every Christmas day
Well, he lives up in a mountain
Like a hermit in the cave
He never had a haircut
He never took a shave
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa
Comes this time every Christmas day
Well, it's rock, rock, rock, Mr. Santa
Jump, jump, jump, Mr. Santa
Well, the boogie woogie Santa
Will boogie all your blues away
Got no presents for your tree
No candy for your socks
When he starts to boogie
The whole town rocks
Mama, get your hat
Put your best dress on
We're gonna jump for joy
On the Christmas morn
The boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Claus
Boogie woogie Santa Boogie, all your blues away
Well, it's rock, rock, rock, Mr. Santa
Jump, jump, jump, Mr. Santa Claus
Well, the boogie woogie Santa
I'll have a blue Christmas without you
I'll be so blue just thinking about you
Decorations of red, on a green Christmas tree
Won't be the same, dear, if you're not here with me
And when those blue snowflakes start falling
That's when those blue memories start calling
You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white
But I'll have a blue, blue, blue, blue Christmas
You'll be doing all right, with your Christmas of white
A black eyed dog he called at my door
The black eyed dog he called for more
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog he knew my name
A black eyed dog, a black eyed dog
I'm growing old and I wanna go home
I'm growing old and I don't wanna know
I'm growing old and I wanna go home
A black eyed dog he called at my door
Turned on and wide awake
Dust it off as a lonely day
We're gonna go where the bed's
(Band's [unverified])
Got soul
(C'mon)
Just sing away all my pain
Sweet honey 'thin my veins
We're gonna twist and shout
And forget our names
Swing low and turn the lights down
I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
I can feel you shine around me
And I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
I'm gonna make a name, I'll make you my famous claim
And I'll take you downtown every night
Think you can lock me up, show me what it's all about
There's no star I could follow like I follow you
Swing low and turn the lights down
I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
I can feel you shine around me
And I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
I wanna know what it's all about
I just know when it all works out
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I heard the gospel truth and I got it all from you
You got your message through on time
You must be a savior's daughter, feel like I can walk on water
When I feel your sweet lips touchin' mine
So swing low and turn the lights down
I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
I can feel you shine around me
I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
Swing low and turn the lights down
I don't wanna know a better way to heaven
I can feel you shine around me
What's good about a good thing
That turns it's back and walks away.
What's the point in a good love.
That never has the time to stay.
Well it has to be a cruel mind
To have the time to make up this game
Oh I'll put on a brave face
But inside I'm really not the same
So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing
You're rubbing salt into my wound
But if you really want to know the truth
I've had better days
But nobody's gonna better you
Well I might have had a better love
But I really don't remember who
It's not unusual to hope for things you ain't gonna get
It's not a crime to keep on wishin' it ain't over yet
I've been waiting for the sweet words from lips
Ah, you know the sound of your voice is something that I can't resist.
So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing
You're rubbin' salt into my wounds
But if you really wanna know the truth
It ain't easy getting over you
I've had better, but nobody's gotta better you
Well I might have had a better love
But I really don't remember who.
So if you're callin' to see how I'm doing
You're rubbin' salt into my wounds
But if you really wanna know the truth
I've had better days, but nobody's gonna better you
Well I might have had a better love
I'm in trouble
And there's no denying
I've been seeing double
And I'm no good at lying.
I knew I should've left you alone
You knew I had a lover back home
You knew it.
You got me running
Sneakin' down the backstreets
Hey you got me hiding
And I see you got a mean streak
Now the news is out all over town
And my world is turnin' over turnin' upside down
You got what you wanted
I'm still bein' haunted
I should've known
CHORUSE:
You're such a bad girl...
She might treat you bad, but your love is so good
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone
You got me locked up to a ball and chain
Like tryin' to run away from a hurricane..yeah
(Instrumental Break)
You're such a bad girl...
She might treat you bad, but you know she loves you good
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone
You're such a bad girl...
The worst is better than your best now baby
You're such a bad, bad girl
Why don't you leave me alone
You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
You're such a bad, bad girl
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
Why don't you leave me alone
You're such a bad girl...
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
You're such a bad, bad girl
You know you treat me so, you treat me so bad
Why don't you leave me alone
You're such a bad girl...
I really can't stay
Baby, it's cold outside
I've got to go away
Baby, it's cold outside
This evening has been
Been hoping that you'd drop in
So very nice, I'll hold your hands
They're just like ice
My mother will start to worry
Beautiful, what's your hurry
My father will be pacing the floor
Listen to the fireplace roar
So really I'd better scurry
Beautiful, please don't hurry
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Put some music on while I pour
The neighbors might think
Baby, it's bad out there
Say what's in this drink
No cabs to be had out there
I wish I knew how
Your eyes are like starlight now
To break this spell
I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell
I ought to say no, no, no, sir
Mind if I move a little closer
At least I'm gonna say that I tried
What's the sense in hurting my pride
I really can't stay, baby, don't hold out
Ah, but it's cold outside
C'mon baby
I simply must go
Baby, it's cold outside
The answer is no
Ooh baby, it's cold outside
This welcome has been
I'm lucky that you dropped in
So nice and warm
Look out the window at that storm
My sister will be suspicious
Man, your lips look so delicious
My brother will be there at the door
Waves upon a tropical shore
My maiden aunt's mind is vicious
Gosh your lips look delicious
Well maybe just a half a drink more
Never such a blizzard before
I've got to go home
Oh baby, you'll freeze out there
Say, lend me your comb
It's up to your knees out there
You've really been grand
Your eyes are like starlight now
But don't you see
How can you do this thing to me?
There's bound to be talk tomorrow
Making my life long sorrow
At least there will be plenty implied
If you caught pneumonia and died
I really can't stay, get over that old out
Ah, but it's cold outside
Baby, it's cold outside
Brr it's cold, it's cold out there
Can't you stay awhile longer, baby
Well, I really shouldn't alright
Make it worth your while, baby

Nobody knows Atlanta like I do, nobody knows Atlanta like I do!
The reason I know's 'cause I traveled it through and through.
They've taken my woman, and they've cut her to the bone.
They've taken my woman, and cut her to the bone.
That's the reason you don't hear me cry any more.
