"You Know What They're Writing About"

"You Know What They're Writing About"


You know what they're writing about
Baby you know what they're writing about
It's a thing called love down through the ages
Makes you wanna cry sometimes
Makes you feel like you wanna lay down and die sometimes
Makes you high sometimes
But when you really get in it lifts you right up

Ain't it a wonderful game
Ain't it a marvellous game
And when there's no more words to say about love I go

Meet me down, meet me down,
Meet me down by the river
Meet me down by the water
Meet me down by the water
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me down by the pylons
Meet me down by the pylons

Meet me, meet me, I want you to meet me - are you there
And know, know, know, know
I want you to meet me - are you there
I want you to meet me - are you there
And know, know, know, know, know
I want you to meet me

"You Make Me Feel So Free"

"You Make Me Feel So Free"


Some people spend their time just runnin' round in circles
Always chasing some exotic bird
I prefer to spend some time just listening for that special something
That I've never ever heard
I like a new song to sing, another show or somewhere entirely different to be
But baby you make me feel so free

And so I yearn for mistress calling me
That's the muse, that's the muse
But we only burn up with that passion
When there's absolutely nothing left to lose
I make it to spring and there's no bed of roses
Just more hard work and bad company
But baby you make me feel so free

I heard them say that you can have your cake and eat it
But all I wanted was one free lunch
How can I eat it when the man that's next to me, he grabbed it
Lord, he beat me to the punch

How can I even talk about freedom
When you know it's sweet mystery
But baby I wanna say that you make me feel so free

I'm gonna lay my cards just right down on the table
And spin the wheel and roll the dice
And whatever way it comes out
And whatever way it turns out
Well you know that's the price
Well I'll order again there's no need to explain
I just need somewhere to dump all my negativity

But baby you make me feel so free

What ya say what you say
What you say what you say what you say
Say it say it say it say it again

You make me feel so free.
So doggone free

I like my coffee in the mornin',
crazy 'bout my tea at night.

I can't seem to leave you alone.
Know why?

"You Win Again"

"You Win Again"


The news is out, all over town
That you've been seen, out runnin' 'round
I know that I should leave, but then
I just can't go
You win again

This heart of mine, could never see
What ev'rybody knows, but me
Just trustin' you (ya gotta trust in me, baby)
Was my great sin
What can I do?
You win again

This heart of mine, oh, I could never see
What ev'rybody knows but me
Just trustin' you (just trustin' you)
Was my great sin (that was my great sin)
What can I do?
You win again

"You're My Woman"


You're my woman
And you're my woman
You bore my child, Lord

I want to thank you

And no one else will do

To like a ship out in the night
Returning for a light

I love you

My heart is for you
My heart is for you
I long to feel you

And every time I do
And every time I do

Just like a ship out in the night
Returning for a light, oh yeah

And it's really real
The way I feel
It's really real
Lord have mercy
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
And you realize
And you realize
Is really, really, really real

In Kingston town now
In Kingston town now
Walked up and down now
Looked at the ground now
You went in labor
You went in labor
And all our friends came through
And all our friends came through
And all out friends came through
Baby, it's you, you are my sunshine
I am your guiding light
Just like a ship out in the night
Returning for a light, oo-we

And it's really real
The way I feel
It's really real
Look into my eyes
Look into my eyes
And you realize
And you realize
It's really, really, really real, oh yeah
And you're my woman
And you're my woman
And you're my woman
And you're my woman.....

"Your Cheatin' Heart"

"Your Cheatin' Heart"


Your cheatin' heart
Will make you weep
You'll cry & cry
You'll try to sleep
But sleep won't come
The whole night through
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

When tears come down
Like pourin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
The way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

When tears come down
Like fallin' rain
You'll toss around
And call my name
You'll walk the floor
Just the way I do
Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

Your cheatin' heart
Will tell on you

"Your Mind Is On Vacation"

"Your Mind Is On Vacation"


Sitting there yakkin' right in my face
Coming on like you own the place
If silence was golden
You couldn't raise a dime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You're quoting figures, you're dropping names
You're telling stories, you're playing games
You always laugh when things ain't funny
You try to sound like you don't need money
If talk was criminal, you'd lead a life of crime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

You know that life is short and talk is cheap
Don't make promises that you can't keep
If you don't like the song I'm singing, just grin and bear it
All I can say is if the shoe fits wear it
If you must keep talking please can you make it rhyme
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime
Cause your mind is on vacation and your mouth is working overtime

And a sweet bird of youth

In my soul (repeat)
