In The World We Live
03:10
|
|||
I know was a fool
trying hard to look cool
you gave me precious love
i threw it all away
the plain and honest truth
the folly of my youth
left me broken
and i’m hurting
every day
In the world we live
we take and give
we spend our lives searching for that something
the truth i find
with the passing time
sometimes we get left alone with nothing
i look back on the night
we had that awful fight
we turned a corner from which
theres no getting back
your eyes were dark and cold
i tried to keep a hold
of my composure
yet all of my feelings cracked
In the world we live
we take and give
we spend our lives searching for that something
the truth i find
that with the passing time
sometimes we get left alone with nothing
do you
ever think about me
wonder how life might have been for us
you seem
to be doing great without me and it makes my heart a bit too much
so I guess its time to
settle up the bill
I’ve got it
don’t be a pill
i had a lovely time
seeing you again
You swear you’ll keep in touch
promise we’ll write and such
but we both know deep down that you never will
In the world we live
we take and give
we spend our lives searching for that something
the truth i find
that with the passing time
sometimes we get left alone with nothing

Rain Rain
03:38
|
|||
the first day of spring
used to be my favorite thing
hearing all the bluebirds sing
getting ready for summer
i recall we
being so happy and free
but the day that you left
That's when I heard the thunder
Rain Rain won't go away
all my skies have turned to grey
I wish I knew what I could say
to bring you back home to me
i miss hearing the sound
of honeybees buzzing around
but thats all been drowned by
the sound of the weather
When I go out with my friends
I force a grin and pretend
That my heart is on the mend
and I'm keeping it together
Rain Rain won't go away
all my skies have turned to grey
I wish I knew what I could say
to bring you back home to me
ITs been raining cats and dogs
and fish and frogs
my whole life's sogged
When will these clouds burn off
and bring my sunny day?
I'm told that with enough time
my heart will mend
but it feels like time suspends
stretching out every hour
please forgive me i don't mean to dwell
but I hope that you're happy and well
and that you make the time
to stop and smell the flowers

Insomnia
04:26
|
|||
three a m i'm wide awake
can't fall asleep- I've got the shakes
that cup of coffee was a big mistake
and now my heart is racing
my phone starts buzzing
and i'm perplexed
its awfully late to receive a text
but its from you you're feeling vexed
i ask you whats the matter
you feel you've been thrown around
after hitting heavy seas
don't let it get you down
just repeat after me.
As i lay me down to sleep
there's a promise I must keep
not to look before I leap
and live life in the moment
be thankful for the daily bread
that keeps my family nicely fed
don't let fear inside your head
you only get one life so own it.
you feel your life's been turned upside down
inside out and spun around
like a ship thats run aground
during stormy weather
its not as bad as it appears
those clouds are products of your fears
just let them go and skies will clear
just try and remember
relax for heavens sake
when you’re in your bed
don’t dwell on your mistakes
try saying this instead
As i lay me down to sleep
there's a promise you must keep
not to look before you leap
and live life in the moment
be thankful for the daily bread
that keeps your family nicely fed
don't let fear inside your head
you only get one life so own it.
you must clear your mind when you're trying to sleep
it that doesn't just try counting sheep
forgive the folks who have done you wrong
and just remember that all along
compassion is what makes us strong
theres no such thing as perfect
before too long you’ll recognize
all their silly schemes
thats when you’ll realize
you can’t be hurt in dreams
As i lay me down to sleep
there's a promise you must keep
not to look before you leap
and live life in the moment
be thankful for the daily bread
that keeps your family nicely fed
don't let fear inside your head
you only get one life so own it.

A Matter Of Faith
03:10
|
|||
I've been down so long
i don't know which ways up
from the fount of misfortune
I've filled up my cup
but I stand up tall
face it all
with going gets rough
I don't get discouraged
i know deep down things will be great
Its just a matter of faith
Fides est responsio (Faith has the answers)
no one can tell you
what your faith's about
religion or science
we all scream and shout
about something much bigger
than we all can comprehend
fighting your brother for this
seems like such a waste
when its just a matter of faith
Fides est responsio (Faith has the answers)
Whether a God in the sky
keeps an all seeing eye
on us all down on Earth
Or the boffins reveal
the Higgs boson field
for whatever its worth
they both started with faith
Believe as pagans or in Reagan or the big spaghetti monster
in Vishnu, or the Buddha or whomever's at your altar
in Jesus or in Allah, the Kabbalah or pure science
as long as you have faith it doesn't matter where you find it
Fides est responsio (Faith has the answers)
there's so much around us
we don't understand
we bicker and banter
with our heads in the sand
lets come together and
make some sense of it all
if we want to survive
we must forgo all this hate
and have a wee bit of faith
its just a matter of faith
We all need need some faith
its just a matter of fait

Perfect Day
03:22
|
|||
I used to be so cynical
sarcastic with a dose of ire
i would walk across a bridge and
then promptly set it afire
it was as if someone took my heart
and put it on a shelf
kept it far out of reach
from the world and from myself
i went through all the motions
made believe i gave my heart
chose the right words to be spoken
but it would all fall apart
i would wonder what i did
to make somebody feel that way
one moment promise that they'd love me
the next just throw my heart away
i used to sit around
a little game I'd play
i'd promise to go outside on a perfect day
now i think about the time I wasted that way
either skies are sunny or they're grey
Every day can be a perfect day
I would wake up every morning
watch the T V weatherman
after he would give his forecast
i sit down and start to plan
make a list of all the errands
i should go and run
i'd calculate the quickest routes
and map them out for fun
i used to sit around
a little game I'd play
i'd promise to go outside on a perfect day
now i think about the time I wasted that way
either skies are sunny or they're grey
Every day can be a perfect day
you gave me courage
more than you'll ever know
each morning you'd wave and smile
until one day I came out to say "Hello"
I've have wasted half my life
watching as the world goes by
i never cared for going out
heaven knows the reason why
my house was once my castle
and it always served me well
but what used to be my fortress
has become a prison cell
i used to sit around
a little game I'd play
i'd promise to go outside on a perfect day
now i think about the time I wasted that way
either skies are sunny or they're gray
Every day can be a perfect day

Seethe
04:05
|

I don't know what it is that makes me seethe
that stifles me so i cant breathe
tell me why can't i
find love that lasts
am i doomed to live back in my past
Do you know what can it be
that scares me so - paralyzing me
i need to know
i'm not an awful man
as you can see
yet happiness still eludes me
I don't know what it is that makes me seethe
that stifles me so i cant breathe
tell me why can't i
find love that lasts
am i doomed to live back in my past
Do you know what makes me cry
that tears me up -
and leaves me scarred inside
have i shared enough
has this been planned by destiny
is it all a joke
to get the best of me
I don't know what it is that makes me seethe
that stifles me so i cant breathe
tell me why can't i
find love that lasts
am i doomed to live back in my past
Its not i ascetic
or even apathetic
could it be genetic
that made me so frenetic
I don't know what it is that makes me seethe
that stifles me so i cant breathe
tell me why can't i
find love that lasts
am i doomed to live back in my past

I Never Thought
04:11
|
|||
Here we are again like the first time
buts its over now-
yeah baby you know that this is more like the last time
you keep telling me that we're cool
but loving you or not i ain't nobody's fool
well i never thought that you
would ever do the things you do
you broke my heart girl from the start girl
how can you say that i never cared for you
well how can you explain the fact that I still go insane
when i see you with another man
i hold myself back the best i can
well look here its just history repeating
any hope you've changed is just self defeating
you keep telling me we're fine
but you know deep down that you've crossed that line
well i never thought that you
would ever do the things you do
you broke my heart girl from the start girl
how can you say that i never cared for you
well how can you explain the fact that I still go insane
when i see you with another man i hold myself back the best i can
You've said you're sorry a million times
won't plead guilty to your vanilla crimes
you keep playing games like I cant see
But you keep saying that you cant live without me
Actions speak much louder than words
satisfaction from you would be so absurd
well i never thought that you
would ever do the things you do
you broke my heart girl from the start girl
how can you say that i never cared for you
well how can you explain the fact that I still go insane
when i see you with another man i hold myself back the best i can

Be Nice
04:24
|
|||
it makes little sense to me
our growing urban density
is causing a propensity for
us to be mean
it borders on insanity
lashing out profanity
forgetting our humanity
its almost obscene
i know the world seems faster than it used to be
but that doesn't mean you have to take it out on me
my advice is concise and its so easy to do .
a single simple concept for me and you
BE NICE
don't be a dick
you against the world
will only make you sick
BE NICE
Its really not that tough
smile at total strangers
don't sweat the small stuff
BE NICE
its not a complicated plan
allow me to expand
give a helping hand
and see what ensues
before you rant and rave
or curse a stranger to their grave
just let it go and behave
how you wish that they'd do.
i know the world seems harder than it used to be
but that doesn't mean we have to spew hostility
my advice is concise and and its so easy to do .
a single simple concept for me and you
BE NICE
don't be a jerk
being angry all the time
is too much work
BE NICE
don't be a tool
saying Please and thank you
is really cool
BE NICE
if we don't fret and fuss about who's right
maybe then we'll all see the light
we should take the time to be polite
things would be much better
it makes little sense to me
that raging with intensity
forgetting about empathy
is not the best path
acting so inflexibly
behaving so offensively,
make finding true serenity
as hard as Chinese math
i know the worlds seems colder than it used to be
but that doesn't mean we have to burn down everything we see
my advice is concise and and its so easy to do .
a single simple concept for me and you
BE NICE
don't be a dick
you against the world
will only make you sick
BE NICE
Its really not that tough
smile at total strangers
don't sweat the small stuff
BE NICE

I Really Got Kissed
03:10
|
|||
I thought that love at first sight
was just another advertising invention
created with the intention
of selling some flowers
After spending years alone
I finally felt at home with rejection
Became best friends with depression
My outlook was dour
But then I started to believe
That true love might exist
'cause on Valentine's Eve
I really got kissed
Men much smarter than I can not tell me why
some people find love, fame and fortune
in double large portions
while lonely hearts starve
The question of why
doesn't always need a rhyme or a reason
or particular season
Thats just the way that things are
I think I might believe
That true love may exist
'cause on Valentine's Eve
I really got kissed
It was the kind of kiss that curls your toes
shivers down your spine
Where we're heading only heaven knows
but a kiss like that is a really good sign
As I headed back home
I started thinking 'bout writing this song
Yeah Its been so very long
Since I had been struck
It's so funny how fate
waits 'til you're not expecting
when gloom is all you're projecting
and proves that life doesn't suck
I know that I believe
That true love does exist
'cause on Valentine's Eve
I really got kissed
I really got kissed
I really got kissed
I really got kissed

All My Love
04:00
|

you put your arms around me
my troubles fade away
i feel your love surround me
and i don't feel no more pain
you were sent from above
to show me true l ove
was something that i could feel
it ain't material things
that makes a heart sing
you gotta give something real
Ill give you al l i got
it's something that can't be bought
on paper (it) ain't worth a lot
gonna give you all my love
i used to think that money
was the key to happiness now i think that it is really funny
because money ain't how you measure true success
i was out of my mind
deaf dumb and blind
afraid to go live my life
don't need money and bling
to make a heart sing
its easy once you decide
to give you everything i got
something that can't be bought
on paper it ain't worth a lot
gonna give you all my love
Ain't wasting no more time
gonna put it out there
some say i'm past my prime
but i really don't care
i know the future's within reach
happiness we can share
its your fear time to forget it
the world is ours come on lets go get it
baby you need to know
wherever you go
you're in every beat of my heart
i know its not what you planned
just take my hand
its a good way to start
I'll give you all that i got
something that can't be bought
on paper it ain't worth a lot
gonna give you all my love

No Reason
02:11
|

A got a gal who loves me for
no reason
i guess likes the cut of my jib
sometimes i wonder if
she's just teasin'
why for heaven sake would she fib
we get on like birds and bees
squirrels in trees
fay wray and old king kong
my life was misery
before she came along
she gives me kisses for
no reason
i can feel my heart start to race
i feel kind of faint and my
knees weaken
when she wears her satin and lace
and just like cats and mice
shoes and rice
lyrics and a song
I got a gal who loves me for no reason
with her is where I belong
and just like cats and mice
shoes and rice
lyrics and a song
i love girl who loves me for no good reason
and with her is where i belong

This Time
04:17
|

You, you had to run away.
From all the things we said
Why can't you listen to your heart
Now, you left me standing here
To face the awful fears
That grip me when we part
Time won't heal all the awful things we feel
TIme Won't mend there's no need to pretend this time
You promised me happiness
Blissful life free from stress
But gave me misery instead
you made me feel so unwise
i tried but i couldn't disguise
all the tears I've shed
Time won't heal all the awful things we feel
TIme Won't mend there's no need to pretend this time
my leaving on own feet
is now a fait accompli
i can see clearly now your conceit
You, you say that you've changed your mind
You're sorry that you were blind
You need me by your side
Now, it is far too late
For us to recreate
Time to swallow all that pride!
Time won't heal all the awful things we feel
TIme Won't mend there's no need to pretend this time

We Danced
04:05
|
|||
sometimes i think
when we were young
well all had
songs to be sung
we didn't know much of the world
yet we still got our flag unfurled
we were cast out by our peers
ridiculed for many years
in dark of night far from the sun
we came together and as one
and we danced
whoa whoa
we danced
whoa whoa
we came from every walk of life
every different creed
from eating cake to squalid strife
we had a single need
to love whomever was never wrong
and we still all got along
out of the voices a single sound
from the 12 inch spinning 'round
and we danced
whoa whoa
we danced
whoa whoa
everybody's equal on the dance floor
to express themselves
if you didn't know what is it that you came for
just put it up on the shelf
looking back on so many years
it often makes me smile
we were young facing down our fears
with a sense of style
it makes me sad for the youth day
it seems much harder to find their way
they spend their life staring at a screen
instead of searching for their dream

So Good
03:16
|
|||
you've got the face of an angel
and a body for sin
those baby blue eyes
and that sly little grin
you're a vixen that is fixing
on stealing some hearts
a deadly combination
of beauty and smarts
you enthrall men with such great ease
one look and they're down on their knees
you are just a wicked tease its true
the way you make them act is just plain sad
you're so good when you're bad
ever since the day
I asked your name
you knew that i was not the same
as the other boys who want to tame you
talking trash trying to shame you
you've raised breaking a heart
into the highest form of art
thats why my love's off the chart for you
i love the way you drive those fellas mad
you're so good when you're bad
i bet your dad the preacher would have a heart attack
if he knew how much time you spent lying on your back
We stop by
a big department store
you grab some things then slip out the back door
i wait for you in the parking lot
wondering if this time maybe you've been caught
my heart skips when you come in to view
we race off and bid the mall adieu
its makes me so very hot for you baby
here! slip into this mini skirt of plaid
you're so good when you're bad

Dangerous
04:14
|
|||
The girl who lives right across the way
doesn’t suffer fools man- she just don’t play
we pass each other every single everyday
wave and say good morning
She likes to lie out on her lawn
with hardly any clothing on
she'll cross the line and far beyond
and know she has be squirming
Deep down I know
I should turn and run
I can't say no
when she wants to have some fun
She's dangerous i should be scared
this won't end well i don't care
She's dangerous I know its twisted
But she's my drug and Im addicted
Was it the way she wore that dress
that got me in this a wful mess
id do it again I must confess
does that make me crazy
her body’s hard as tungsten steel
and every part of her is real
her pouty lips have sex appeal
blood red that screams out “warning
Deep down I know
that she's using me
I can't say no
my friends are telling me
She's dangerous i should be scared
this won't end well i don't care
She's dangerous I know its twisted
But she's my drug and Im addicted
DANGEROUS
ill give her all my money
DANGEROUS
ill give her all my bling
DANGEROUS
you may think its funny
DANGEROUS
but i'd giver her anything
its more than just her fine physique
'cause every time she starts to speak
my head starts spinning and my knees go weak
things start looking hazy
she must have put me in a trance
when i came to she'd tied my hands
and i wasn't wearing pants
she said i was amazing
Deep down I know
I should have turned around and run
I can't say no
and now my life's undone
CHORUS
She's dangerous i should be scared
this won't end well i don't care
She's dangerous I know its twisted
But she's my drug and Im addicted

I Finally Found You
03:46
|
|||
Spent most my life on seas of blue
seeing the world searching for you
it was all that i ever dreamed of
finding a pure heart, my one true love
I've been around this great big world
from Rome to Kathmandu
it wasn't till I came back home
i finally found you
there were times i thought my quest was finally done
but the promises of the night would disappear with the sun
I've been around this great big world
from Rome to Kathmandu
it wasn't till I came back home
i finally found you
Spent most my life on seas of blue
seeing the world searching for you
i wanted fireworks and to hear angels sing
i'd kiss a strangers lips and not feel a thing
I've been around this great big world
from Rome to Kathmandu
it wasn't till I came back home
i finally found you

Magic Touch
03:32
|

I don't care where you come from
i don't care how you do
i just know that your loving'
makes me feel brand new
Don't matter how I'm feeling
no matter night or day
the love you give is healing
it drives my blues away
i feel this is the love
that every man on earth dreams of
Baby i need so much
YOUR MAGIC TOUCH
i feel my sadness vanish
my pain just fades away
you undo all the damage
from all the hurtful things folks say
don't believe in superstition
that religion is made of
you're like an apparition
or an angel from above
i think this is the love
that every man on earth dreams of
Baby i need so much
YOUR MAGIC TOUCH
I only believed in things
observed in the material world
now i feel my heart sing
ever since you became my girl
I've always been a skeptic
with a scientific mind
believing in just logic
made my heart go blind
and then you came and saved me
from my cold and sterile place
and i feel redemption
when i look in to your face
i know this is the love
that every man on earth dreams of
Baby i need so much
YOUR MAGIC TOUCH

Happy Hour 2014
02:55
|

The work day's done ol' mister sun
is setting in the west
you've toiled all day and earned your pay
But now's no time to rest
Its happy hour oh boy!
whiskey sour or rob roy.
kick back with a sazerac
or whatever you enjoy
martini, dry champagne
to help you ease your pain
there's no feeling dour
during happy hour
happy hour hurray
je veux cognac s'il vous plaît
forget the pills and cure your ills with
a tonic and Tanqueray
better hurry up don't wait
you can hop, skip, even skate
no ivory towers
we're all pals for happy hour
You stroll down
to your favorite joint
the bar just 'round the block
you can't help grin
as you walk in
and look up at the clock
happy hour is grand
when things don't go as planned
a twist of lime and in no time
you'll have the world at your command
rum with just a splash
of campari for panache
no need to glower
when its always happy hour
You stroll down
to your favorite joint
the bar just 'round the block
you can't help grin
as you walk in
and look up at the clock
happy hour is grand
with a cocktail in your hand
a twist of lime and in no time
you'll have the world at your command
rum with just a splash
of campari for panache
no need to glower
when its always happy hour

Look UP
03:23
|
|||
we're living in an age of miracles
its empirical
just analyze the data set
everyone's so connected
we've all elected
to live our lives out on the net
trading streams of electrons
does not a true connection make
we gotta look up from our screens
for goodness sake
There is a whole world thats out there
beyond foursquare
you needn't check in while you're at the beach
all the beauty around you
it should astound you
and its all well within your reach
a whole mess of texting zombies
is gonna be our fate
unless we look up from our screens
before its too late
the social network nation
has become an abomination,
the fine art of conversation
has been reduced down to abbreviations
a hundred thousand folks follow you
but thats hollow dude
is it really worthy of acclaim
a million friends on Facebook
but a close look shows you don't know
a single one of their names
acronyms and emoji
isn't how grown people communicate
we gotta look up from our screens
Before its too late

Remember
02:37
|

three day weekend
time for fun
ice filled coolers in the sun
food on the grill is almost done
its a big ol' celebration
on this this extra day of rest
this monday off with which we're blessed
i have just one small request
that we all remember
say a small prayer of thanksgiving
for those who fought for our way of living
for Americans like you and me
in the land of liberty
for all our freedoms that were won
by brave daughters and sons
who gave their lives to keep us free
in the land of liberty
a day off work
we party hard
with good friends
in our backyard
why don't we give
more regard
to those who are not with us
the siege of Bastonge and Kae Sahn
Chosin Reservoir to Afghanistan
every woman child and man
should remember those who took a stand

The Man
04:27
|
|||
i used to be impulsive
obsessively compulsive
but now i get convulsive
whenever i am forced make up my mind
its as if I've become deaf dumb and blind
No satisfaction
from the same old pursuits
if there's attraction
the point of its moot
the fear of pleasure has become too acute
its clearly far too dangerous to fall
it is much safer not to chance it at all
will I ever become the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
my evolution has slowly revealed
the convolution of my precious ideals
no absolution or at least so it feels
Its too late there's no turning back
it won't be long until it all fades to black
I think I can be the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
I need you to understand that
if you would give me your hand
I'd have the bravery to stand
and strength enough to turn the tide.
the waters rising now almost past my head
soon i'm gonna drown in all the tears that i have shed
There is a favor that i'd like to ask
I need a savior and I need it fast
can you forgive me and the sins of my past
Its all about as simple as this
without your love i'll be lost in the abyss
I know I can be the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
I need you to understand that
if you would give me your hand
I'd have the bravery to stand
and strength enough to turn the tide.
I know I'll become the man
that everybody thinks that I can
its not that i don't have a plan
it just that things go aft agley.
I need you to understand that
if you would give me your hand
I'd have the bravery to stand
and strength enough to turn the tide.

Bring It On Back To Me
03:08
|

Spent my day packing up what used be
The life with shared but now its only me
Your favorite dress, some faded photographs
The funny things you'ld do to make me laugh
I don't know how I'm gonna get along
I don't know if I can be that strong x
I'd be lying - If I said I was through with cryin'
But cryin' won't bring you back to me
I still love you - baby can't you see?
Just come on back to me.
Every morning as I come down the stairs
I hope and pray that I will find you there
And every morning the heart break starts again
Lord! how long before it starts to mend?
How could you go? After all that we'd been through
Please! let me know, what am I to do?
I'd be lying - If I said I was through with cryin'
But cryin' won't bring you back to me
I still want you. Baby can't you see?
Just come on back to me.
BRIDGE
when I think about that rainy night
Such a foolish quarrel you were right
Then the late night knock upon my door
I was then regretfully informed - you ain't coming back no more
I'd be lying - If I said I was through with cryin'
But cryin' won't bring you back to me
I still need you. Baby can't you see?
Just come on back to me.

Everybody wants to be my buddy
everybody wants to know my name
everybody wants to hear my story

and she gets much hotter when the sun goes down

so How a girl like that, get with a guy like me
Yeah Yeah
Love's A Mystery
Yeah Yeah
a dog gone Mystery
All the guys down at the bowling alley
Then cheer my name when I walk through the door
and every peggy sue and sally have to pick their jaws off the floor
they wonder what the prom queen sees in me
I ain't got no washboard abs or a PH D
I drive a pick up built back in eighty three
How a girl like that, get with a guy like me
Yeah Yeah
Love's A Mystery
Yeah Yeah
a dog gone Mystery
Love is patient love is kind thats what all the people say
if you open up your heart love is gonna find a way hey hey hey

So how a girl like that, get with a guy like me

Detroit Steel 2014

A little love song to the muscle cars of my youth.
lyrics
when i was just a little boy
we had cars that really made some noise
feel them run, in your chest
motor heads on their eternal quest
whose ride was the fastest
racing down the quarter mile
my brother's was the baddest
every win would make me smile
the tire smoke made me choke
every time they'd spin those big mag wheels
i love detroit steel
(mustang, duster, and roadrunner
bel air, tempest , and the rambler
comet, fury, and marauder
fairlaine, biscayne, and impala)
aint no self respecting man
who'd drive a compact from japan
hybrid's good for mother nature
computer brains in their nomenclature
give me a six four "cammer"
with seven hundred horses running wild
when you put down the hammer
its a seven second quarter mile
if you're a man you'll say "hot damn!"
every time you sit behind the wheel
I love detroit steel
(mustang, duster, and roadrunner
bel air, tempest , and the rambler
comet, fury, and marauder
fairlaine, biscayne, and impala)
the final straw the camel's back
can't take no more and thats a fact
tomorrow morning break of dawn
get in my car and then i'm gone
my duster's got a blower
and some nitrous just in case
when i gun the engine
it shakes the windows in the place
those overseas designs
they all look real pretty and run fine
but they lack the feel
of some detroit steel
(mustang, duster, and roadrunner
bel air, tempest , and the rambler
comet, fury, and marauder
fairlaine, biscayne, and impala)

Too Shy

VERSE !
Out with my baby
on the town
She's knows how
to swing it around
I thought I was her only guy
because she is just too shy
CHORUS
She's too shy to resist
any guy who wants to steal a kiss
her dance cards full I don't know why
'cause my baby is just too shy
VERSE 2
my sweet lady is oh so good
she don't do the things
bad girls would
no action til knot we tie
'cause my baby is just too shy
She's too shy to resist
any guy who wants to steal a kiss
her dance cards full I don't know why
'cause my baby is just too shy
BRIDGE
She's too timid to decline a man who wants to dance
but she must hear those wedding bells for us to have romance
VERSE3
we got hitched just this last june
went to France on our honeymoon
became a dad buy mid July
How can that be
well you know why
She's too shy to resist
any guy who wants to steal a kiss
her dance cards full I don't know why
'cause my baby is just too shy

Glorious

every time see your face I'm happy
whenever I hear your voice I'm glad
whenever i know i'm gonna see you
don't matter what kind of day I've had
you're like a perfect christmas morning
or a birthday wish come true
my butterflies are swarming
and its all because of you
i melt away each time I see your smile
and haven't this way for quite a while.
Your love is glorious
Your love is glorious
what's in store for us
a life lived happily ever after
when the whole world was against me
when the tunnel's ha no light
when there was no silver lining
you made everything alright
i float away each time i kiss your lips
i never knew it could be quite like this
Your love is glorious
Your love is glorious
what's in store for us
a life lived happily ever after
I was just a empty shell
had nothing left inside
living in a private hell
eating bitter pride
everything i ever knew
only caused me pain
I cried out for salvation
but it was all in vain
every day was dark and stormy
before you finally came around
now the sun is shining for me
like a king thats just been crowned
i melt away each time I make you smile
the little things you do have me beguiled
Your love is glorious
Your love is glorious
what's in store for us
a life lived happily ever after

Summer Loverman
03:29
|

Well everybody give a cheer
because summer's finally here
i love this time of year
its always sunny
holidays spent at the beach
far away from boyfriends reach
there's something they don't ever teach
the honeys
Summer nights alone
so very far from home
can make a girl so lonely
once we're out beneath the stars
and we hear those soft guitars
i become their one and only
Please understand
they never plan to take my hand
when i become
their summer lover man
the surf and sand
all those days spent getting tanned
temptation's out of hand
i'm their summer lover man
she's far too young to be tied down
two hundred miles from her town
nows not the time to act all mulish
if you let her have some fun
underneath the summer sun
you'll find out when the summer's done
you'll find your fears were foolish
Hot and steamy nights
beneath the boardwalk's and its lights
huggin and kissing
doesn't matter if she roams
her heart is always back at home
and its you she's really missing
Please understand
they never plan to take my hand
when i become
their summer lover man
the surf and sand
all those days spent getting tanned
temptation's out of hand
i'm their summer lover man
there’s something magical
in the moon above
one night underneath its light
and you’re sure to fall in love
well september has returned
the august sun no longer burns
the shorter days they slowly turn
to autumn
and the change of season brings
an end to all those summer flings
when the school bell rings they’re all forgotten
when the leaves start falling down
the locals all start leaving town
and the only sound is the ocean
it won't be long until next year
when the city girls appear
needing help with all their suntan lotion
Please understand
they never plan to take my hand
when i become
their summer lover man
the surf and sand
all those days spent getting tanned
temptation's out of hand
i'm their summer lover man

hail from seattle
suckers addle
when i'm up in 'dey psych
i lay waste and i lay ruin
when I get on the mic
the shit you try to spit
is weak and hollow as hell
i take the lead and they all follow
like i'm ringing a bell
when i'm flowing
y’all be knowing
a criminal mind
you best believe dis
i'm like jesus
i give sight to the blind
to all my pupils
i got scruples
when it comes to the game
I MAKE mad rubles
with some loop holes
that puts the
wall street to shame
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna gonna get mine
Im progressively aggressive
leaving suckers behind
they excessively obsessive
decontructing my rhymes
reliance on some science
is what makes me so good
you'll never beat me
or defeat me
that should be understood
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna gonna get mine
BRIDGE
I'ma take it back to the old school
get you bouncing to an old groove
thats what makes me so smooth
come on everybody and
stand up
hey dee jay come blast this
beat is so sweet
its just like molasses
so throw yo hands up
and shake yo asses
this heres a a track
for moving the masses
your flow's full of holes like detroit getting looted
while im serving prime rhymes that are never diluted
got brioni hanging on me with a franc mueller watch
you be lester polyester shoppin' clearance at Ross
after the club
i got down with your sister
by the end of the night
she was calling me mister
you always saying
she's not playing - she lives her life like a saint
well i had her booty shaken' like it mixing some paint
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna get
i'm gonna gonna get mine
i'm gonna gonna get mine

Mr Adams
03:50
|

I see you standing all alone
looking at your mobile phone
i think that i should bring you home
and take sweet loving care of you
but you say that you're doing fine
right as rain and i'm inclined to
listen to the words you say
and let you go your merry way
but mr adams has another plan
and i must obey all his commands
you don't see the rag inside hand
one whiff and you're unconscious
and thrown inside my lorry
Mr Adams is pretend
but nonetheless my only friend
he lives deep down inside my brain
Only he can ease my pain
he is better than my dad
keeps my safe from doing bad
the work of god is what i do
i rid the world of folks like you
my father said had to go
when i was just five years old
my mother gave me all the blame
and beat me in to utter shame
i used to cry most every night
into my pillow held so tight
deep down i knew these assaults
were not really my own fault
one day mother hit me in the head
the bleeding in my brain became widespread
i saw stars and thought she'd left me dead
but Mr Adams saved the day
by helping me get even.
Mr Adams is pretend
but nonetheless my only friend
he lives deep down inside my brain
Only he can ease my pain
he is better than my dad
keeps my safe from doing bad
the work of god is what i do
i rid the world of folks like you
Mr Adams visits every night
and gives me the courage so i can do whats right
Mr adams has a plan
his Facebook page, well im a fan
humankind will end up dull
unless the wicked ones are culled
So we go out every day
and try to trim some fat away
and the truth if I may say
I've gotten rather good at it
I fear the law is gaining close behind
and under my back porch i fear they'll find
examples of the lovely peace of mind
afforded by the folks i've buried
Mr Adams is pretend
but nonetheless my only friend
he lives deep down inside my brain
Only he can ease my pain
he is better than my dad
keeps my safe from doing bad
the work of god is what i do
i rid the world of folks like you

Liam Neeson
02:53
|

I was drinking like a Kennedy
another round and I would be wasted
knocking back some Sazeracs
a bit too fast the barman lambasted
when in comes a leopard skin
walking definition of trouble
wrapped around a curvy frame
on a dame I wouldn't call subtle
We called her Liam Neeson
for the simple reason
the lady had skills
the lady had skills
the music stopped,
our jaws all dropped
just like an old time cowboy movie
she brought her face
an inch from mine
and gave me a kiss
that went right through me
now i am not
remotely close
to what a person
would call shy
but after
just single kiss
i could not look her
square in the eye
We call her Liam Neeson
for the simple reason
the lady had skills
the lady had skills
I love Liam Neeson
I need Liam Neeson
I call her Liam Neeson
'Cause she has skills
Yeah the lady has skills
A particular set of skills
Yeah the lady has skills
Skills that pay the bills
I love skills

Imagination

|

can't find my imagination
oh where can it be?
its a source of consternation
and worry to me
can't find no inspiration
for my newest song
and my procrastination,
is not moving things along
for one hundred and eighty nine weeks
I've dutifully composed
songs heartfelt some tongue in cheek
some that make you tap your toes
some are catchy
some plain suck
some of them are wry
could it be my wells run dry
were my song in a limited supply
Lord wheres my imagination
I'd down here on my knees
Oh there it is under that cushion
right next to my keys
it fell in to my big ol' sofa
right next to my keys

Martini Extra Dry
03:43
|
|||
Last night I went to a bar
to dig some swinging jazz guitar
when the waitress asked what will I buy
Sunshine, rain, or even hail
for me there's only one cocktail
That's Martini Extra Dry
She put down her cocktail try
and turned to me and said
"Hey Mister! give this drink a try"
I don't mean to be uncouth
but there's far too much vermouth
for Martini Extra Dry
Oh, I've had my quota
of drinking up those scotch and sodas
gin and tonics won't suffice
If you want to make me happy
one more round and make it snappy
and listen to this good advice
The next time you're at a bar
rubbing elbows with the stars
Dressed like a bum or in black tie
If you want to swing sublime
no cocktail's more devine
than Martini Extra Dry
Oh, I've had my quota
of drinking up those scotch and sodas
gin and tonics just don't fly
If you want to make me happy
one more round and make it snappy
hey baby here's mud in your eye
The next time you're at a bar
rubbing elbows with the stars
Dressed like a bum or in black tie
If you want to swing sublime
no cocktail's more devine
than Martini Extra Dry

i don't want to
think about you
but i have to
and its tearing me apart
I'm feeling confused
and nonplussed too
i never thought
you would be the one
to break my heart
i so believed
as thick as thieves
were we
but now i see
When you say we
you don't mean
you and me
please forgive me
im sincerely
quite severely
sorry i'm so mortified
I thought you clearly
loved me dearly
that disappeared
when i tried to kiss your lips
last night
we used to chat until three
you would tell me
you hoped that We'd start a family
i failed to see
When you said "We'
you don't mean me
I was a fool for so long
thought it was love
boy did i read it wrong
when i finally made my move you flew right out my door
i knew right then i wouldn't see you anymore
thats why
i don't want to
think about you
but i have to
and its left me torn apart
my calls you refuse
my pride has been bruised
i've raised being awkward
into the highest form of art
i know
we cant pretend
this fence we can mend
so this is where our story ends
When you say we
you don't mean
you and me

big bunch of bros
they're a big bunch of bros
decked out in ED HARDY
out hunting for some for some ho's
they roll up through the club wearing stupid hipster hats
trying to look edgy with their douchey tribal tats
you see them in the V I P getting bottle service
six bills for a fifth of Goose yelling "they deserve this
they travel in a pack (pack) i q points they lack lack
they like to sneak up on their homies and punch them in the sack sack
see them on the floor dirty dancing and dry humping
doing shots of jaeger and whole lot of fist pumping
big bunch of bros
they're a big bunch of bros
Wasted on Bacardi

decked out in ED HARDY
out hunting for some for some ho'
rolling in a cherokee
lifted off the ground
a bass bumping system
and a sun visor crown
They're on a pussy quest
that's totally quixotic
because their bonding rituals
seem quite homoerotic
their bodies all glisten
like they covered in oil
Bright white teeth, spray on tan
hair bleached out with foil
they try to use expressions
like Turnt up and trill
thinking pooka beads will
make them look chill
big bunch of bros
they're a big bunch of bros
Wasted on Hypnotic
out hunting for some for some ho's
big bunch of bros
they're a big bunch of bros
dense and idiotic
out hunting for some for some ho's
they travel in a pack
to the dance club
in they Polo shirts
with the collars popped up
three hundred for they jeans
they will cough up
on Natty ice and Crys,
They're always hopped up
you see them at the bar
stalking their pray
"hey girl you DTF"
is their repartee
if they cant slip a roofie
in their Chardonnay
they switch up to plan B
axe body spray
big bunch of bros
they're a big bunch of bros
Wasted on Bacardi

I Forgive You
03:43
|
|||
i've heard some whispers
talking out of school
everyones saying
you run around playing
betraying me breaking the golden rule
you're are so clever
you're are so smart
your epic conceit
said your fait acocompli
would be far more discreet
and keep me in the dark
Im not angry
im not upset
when a heart is foolish
that is what it gets
ill be just fine
you can surely bet
BABY I FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET
Love made me crazy
I didn't see the clues
coming in at all hours
the long steamy showers
the ivory towers you built as a ruse
you became distant
you became cold
on every occasion
your wicked liaisons
became much more brazen
and so very bold
Im not angry
im not upset
when a heart is foolish
that is what it gets
ill be just fine
you can surely bet
BABY I FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET
BRIDGE
i gave you all my love and gave you all my trust
now i see what you think of us
let me pour a farewell champagne toast
here's to you and me and what we both want the most.
now as you leave me
never to darken my door
i have a confession
about an obsession
that i never mentioned to you before
i keep a garden
of deadly delights
forgive my stalling
but now you're befallen
the priest i'll be giving
you your last rites
Im not angry
im not upset
when a heart is foolish
that is what it gets
ill be just fine
you can surely bet
BABY I FORGIVE YOU
BUT I CAN'T FORGET

Dangerous
03:47
|

The man who lives right across the way
don't suffer fools girl- he just don’t play
he's so fine in every way
i find it alarming
He is friendly with my husband John
They go running at the break of dawn
he checks up on me when my man is gone
and knows he has me squirming
Deep down I know
I should turn and run
I can't say no
when he wants to have some fun
he's dangerous i should be scared
this won't end well but i don't care
he's dangerous I know its twisted
But he's my drug and Im addicted
i got myself in to this mess
should have never acquiesced
but i want more I must confess
gotta feed this craving
his body’s hard as tungsten steel
the definition of sex appeal
and the way he makes me feel
its more than just amazing
Deep down I know
that he's using me
I can't say no
and that confuses me
he's dangerous i should be scared
this won't end well i don't care
he's dangerous I know its twisted
But he's my drug and Im addicted
DANGEROUS
ill give him all my money
DANGEROUS
ill give him all my bling
DANGEROUS
ill give him all my honey
DANGEROUS
i'll give him anything
its more than just his fine physique
'cause every time he starts to speak
my head starts spinning and my knees go weak
things start looking hazy
all my life i knew right from wrong
tried to be good my whole life long
but this temptation is just too strong
Am i going crazy
Deep down I know
I should have turned around and run
I can't say no
and my life's commune undone
CHORUS
he's dangerous i should be scared
this won't end well i don't care
he's dangerous I know its twisted
But he's my drug and Im addicted

Empty

IVe been hurting for a long long time
and i guess you're the last to know
you keep saying everything is fine
but I ain't cool with the status quo
PRECHORUS
you've been lying and spending my money
then expect me to give you all my honey
I'm Empty
I got nothing left inside
all the tears i've cried
been washed away by pride
i gave you plenty
but you're always wanting more
so get on out that door
I can't take it anymore
'cause i'm empty
I made this house into a home
a cozy place for me and you
I know a mans eye is gonna roam
i ain't gonna lie I do some looking too
you thought that we would stay together
But its over now no use being clever
'cause I'm Empty
I got nothing left inside
all the tears i've cried
been washed away by pride
i gave you plenty
but you kept on wanting more
so get on out that door
I can't take it anymore
'cause i'm empty
i'm not a fool
but i was fooled by you
you were so smooth
you said our love was true
but now i've been schooled
and I know we're really through
i got nothing left
i can give to you
<instrumental refrain>
PRECHORUS
stop crying saying you regret it
no use trying you won't ever get it
I'm Empty
I got nothing left inside
all the tears i've cried
been washed away by pride
i gave you plenty
but you kept on wanting more
so get on out that door
I can't take it anymore
'cause i'm empty
'cause i'm empty
'cause i'm empty

Friday Night
03:02
|
|||
early monday
hop out of bed
thinking 'bout
the long week ahead
got lots to do
so i make up a list
gotta be sure that
nothing is missed
five long days from now
when my final shift is done
the minute i punch out
you know I'm gonna run
to the arms of the one i'm missing
with those soft lips i'll be kissing
friday's night is my favorite night of the week
after two days of pure heaven
back to work at half past seven
some days pass by so slow
by tuesday morning
i don't want to go
wednesdays don't seem so bad
Thursdays just crawl
When friday rolls around
Im climbing up the walls
need to get to the arms I'm missing
and those soft lips i'll be kissing
friday's night is my favorite night of the week
The happiest moments are the ones
i spend where i belong
i wish that friday night
could last the whole week long
monday morning
all over again
cursing that i couldn't sleep in
a cup of joe
and i'm on my way
a working stiff
off to earn my pay
it seems some days last forever
they don't want to end
just a few days till we're together
'til then ill just pretend
that i'm in the arms I'm missing
and those soft lips i'll be kissing
friday's night is my favorite night of the week
need to get to the arms I'm missing
and those soft lips i'll be kissing
friday's night is my favorite night of the week

now I'm nothing special just a normal dude
I was at the supermarket just shopping for food
when i saw her standing in the produce aisle
with the set oh nicest melons i'd seen in a while
get your mind out the gutter
i meant cantaloupe
so on a wing and prayer
by the laundry soap
I asked if she'd like to go out sometime.
she said "give me your digits, and ill give you mine"
headed home happy as a guy can be
with with that little scrap of paper
Hurray for me.
drove to my pad gonna get right to it
unlocked my door and walked through it
turned on some tunes - i dig Freddie Hubbard
emptied the bags and filled up the cupboard
pulled out that paper and what did I see
an eight, six, seven five three nine
jenny jenny was just a front
turns out that girl was a skanky
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
About a week later i was out with my boy
Quiet as a riot just feeling the noise
we rolled up on a girl
i knew from back in the day
she asked for a ride
and I nodded okay
my buddy hopped on over to the back seat
then we continued on our way down to the swap meet
so we chitted and chatted about the neighborhood
how she needs to find a man who treat her good
makes fat stacks, without any drama
she's knows he'll stick around
when she's his baby's mama
rolled into the lot found a shady spot
i put the shark into park locked up the land yacht
she said thanks for the lift
i said "ain't no thing"
she reached down and
grabbed my ding-a-ling
step off! you think that im crazy
you gonna trap a man by having his baby
I said "no thanks, let me be blunt,
you ain't nothing but a scheming
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
we agreed that we needed
to get us some grub
sandwich shop was our stop
where we ordered a sub
foot long sammie cut right down the middle
Cheese and Hammy would be plenty of viddles
the new girl working was finer than fine
she would rate a solid L A nine
a tight baby tee
a short little skirt
she smiled at me
a started to flirt
her curves were slammin'
her booty the bomb
the kind of girl you bring home to meet your mom
she slipped behind counter got to work with ease
she was putting on the mayo when she had to sneeze
ah ah choo - like people do - she covered my lunch with a mist of her goo
we asked if we could have a sneeze free meal
she no dice, no way, no deal
that put an and to my girlie hunt
We're gonna get a burger you stupid
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING
CANT UNDERSTAND NORMAL THINKING

Monument
03:28
|
|||
Our time on Earth is fleeting
do our lives have deeper meaning
hereafter some still believe in
heaven or someplace hot
call it ego
or call it pride
nobody wants to be lost to time
we try to carve our names into stone
so future generations know
July comes after June
Night time comes after noon
the Love that I give is true
my monument to you
lives spent precisely planing
lack peace and understanding
the cycle that we're repeating
until our hearts stop their beating
some men think that self respect
come from towers that they erect
hoping some lasting fame
from buildings that bear their name
July comes after June
Night time comes after noon
the Love that I give is true
my monument to you
CN Tower or Empire State
The giant cities that man creates
the need to have the things we've done
be remembered by those to come
a perfect provincial palace
or a jewel encrusted challis
a clever idea or invention
that guarantees historic mention
try to keep life full of love
always give more than enough
you needn't worry about the how
if you live in the here and now
July comes after June
Night time comes after noon
the Love that I give is true
my monument to you

Hypocrisy
03:12
|
|||
our hands have been bound
We've been thrown on to the ground
deafened by the sound
of the hypocrisy
hypocrisy
we're fighting with ourselves
hypocrisy
arguing with such precision
no democracy
burning up our wealth
hypocrisy
every time we change positions
please let me restate
the world we create
has sealed all our fates
in the hypocrisy
hypocrisy
open up your eyes
hypocrisy
this problem is of great dimension
no democracy
truth living with lies
hypocrisy
confusion caused by mixed intentions
there are no ablutions to cleanse us of this sin
there's no revolution to save us or our kin
there's no absolution from this mess we're in
is the sole solution to throw it in the bin
we've trod the slippery slope
arrived where there is no hope
grasping to the rope
that is hypocrisy
hypocrisy
we're fighting with ourselves
hypocrisy
arguing with such precision
no democracy
burning up our wealth
hypocrisy
every time we change positions
hypocrisy
open up your eyes
hypocrisy
this problem is of great dimension
no democracy
truth living with lies
hypocrisy
confusion caused by mixed intentions

If I Believed
03:41
|
|||
every day i think to myself
i'd like to be somebody else
someone who has it all together
somebody who's smarter and a bit more clever
when we finished school we were off to the races
such grand ideas and bright shining faces
the verve of youth has long since faded
no lasting sign of what we've created
If I believed in God I would pray for assistance
I'm a heretic or is it indifference
wasted most my life being ruled by my sickness
i really need just a little forgiveness
yeah a little forgiveness
as years go passing by
i've become more existential
i've even stopped asking why
i never reached my true potential
A burden to my family - pariah to my friends
The crushing weight of gravity does not seem to end
The wrong choices again and again
hoping this will be better
that kind of thinking's not sane
If I believed in God I would pray for salvation
I'm heretic or is it desperation
i lived my life for someone else
I wish I had the strength to forgive myself
yeah to forgive myself
precious months and years
thrown away by fear
washed out with the tide
weighted down by my pride
every day i think to myself
i should pack my dream up on the shelf
no more time for this foolish endeavor
leave it to those who are younger and clever
put away these childish things
let it go- pronounce it dead
try to mend my self esteem
stop the voices in my head
If I believed in God I would pray for assistance
I'm a heretic or is it indifference
wasted most my life being ruled by my sickness
i really need just a little forgiveness
yeah a little forgiveness
If I believed in God I would pray for salvation
I'm heretic or is it desperation
i lived my life for someone else
I wish I had the strength to forgive myself
yeah to forgive myself
If I believed in God I would pray for assistance
I'm a heretic or is it indifference
wasted most my life being ruled by my sickness
i really need just a little forgiveness
yeah a little forgiveness

Just A Boy
02:57
|
|||
I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay
she works down at the corner coffee shop
a skip. and a jump and a little hop from my nine to five
every morning she bids me hello and says
here you go
and hands me a perfectly constructed cappuccino with an extra sweet and low
she makes me feel alive
I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay
i'm just a boy who's suffering discreetly
because the one i love so truly and completely
is with my oldest friend so I smile and pretend that every thing is okay
every day in the mirror i'd say aloud
"today's the day I ask her out"
every morning i'd chicken out
then a awful twist of fate
had my buddy go out for a cup of joe
their eyes met and she said hello
i waited much too late
I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay
i'm just a boy who's suffering discreetly
because the one i love truly and completely
is with my oldest friend so I smile and pretend that every thing is okay
why did i keep it to myself
now she's off with someone else
i'm a thinker not a talker
why must i live with this damn curse
but i think its even worse
I might turn into a stalker
I'm just a boy who's crazy 'bout a girl
who's crazy about the only friend I have in this world
and I don't what to do- i don't know what to say
to make this whole thing okay
i'm just a boy who's suffering discreetly
because the one i love truly and completely
is with my oldest friend so I smile and pretend that everything is okay

You Threw It Away
03:25
|
|||
you'll never find
a love like mine
my heart and mind
you threw it away
i lived for you
I was your fool
you were so cruel
you threw it away
You promised when we got together
you swore by the light of the moon
you said you would be mine forever
i guess you spoke a bit too soon
then your heart became so distant
you kept your love far from me
now you're saying that you didn't
ever tell a lie to me
you'll never find
a love like mine
my heart and mind
you threw it away
i lived for you
I was your fool
you were so cruel
you threw it away
I'm careful to keep my distance
and you have the nerve to ask me why
you won't wear down my resistance
once bitten I've become quite shy
time has mended my poor heart but
time has also made it hard
save your breath I'll never want you
now i know the way you are
you'll never find
a love like mine
my heart and mind
you threw it away
i lived for you
I was your fool
you were so cruel
you threw it away
That page has been turned
that lesson's been learned
i'm not concerned
that that bridge has burned
-
now your crying that you miss me
that you made a huge mistake
first time 'round you caught me sleeping
now you see i'm wide awake
you'll never find
a love like mine
my heart and mind
you threw it away
i lived for you
I was your fool
you were so cruel
you threw it away

Oh! Here’s the tale of a little boy
his daddy’s pride and his mama’s joy
a full fledged swinger right out the gate
but destined for a tragic fate
OH Hep Cat Johnny
So Debonair
Hep Cat Johnny
This cat’s no square
Hep Cat Johnny
Ain’t got Romance
‘cause Hep Cat Johnny
don’t know how to dance
His face is known all around the town
his drinks are free when he makes the rounds
But on the dance floor he’s a flop
Hell! the poor boy can’t even Lindy Hop
OH Hep Cat Johnny
So Debonair
Hep Cat Johnny
This cat’s no square
Hep Cat Johnny
Ain’t got Romance
‘cause Hep Cat Johnny
don’t know how to dance
Oh listen here’s the story’s end
King of the world but no girlfriend
If you wan’t to find yourself romance
don’t be like Johnny better learn how to dance.
OH Hep Cat Johnny
So Debonair
Hep Cat Johnny
This cat’s no square
Hep Cat Johnny
Ain’t got Romance
‘cause Hep Cat Johnny
don’t know how to dance
