"Pleasure"

"Pleasure"



Love me, love me tender
My being surrenders to you
'Cause you know what to do
So make me, make me tremble
That will be a symbol of
The L-O-V-E's there when
We make love
We make love

Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game

So baby, be gentle
And cuddle a little with me
Then tell me tenderly
You want me, want me forever
And say there's no better love
Than what you get
When we make love
We make love

Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game

Your love is such a pleasure
And I'm so glad you found me
I'm yours measure for measure
Just wrap your arms around me

Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game

The L-O-V-E's there
When we make love
We make love

Ya bring me pleasure
When I'm feelin' pain
I go to meet ya
In the fallin' rain
It's such a pleasure
When ya call my name
Stay tonight and
Play the pleasure game

"Pleasure Over Pain"

"Pleasure Over Pain"


Three after two
The autumn moments of a night without you
Endless seconds
Watching one window pain fight back the rain
While I'm trapped here inside your love

[Chorus]
Once upon a time
You And I had an everlasting love that ended way before it's time
Scattered like the stars in the sky
Are the feelings that I have for you that never got to shine
And it cuts me to the core
But I keep coming back for more
As long as love remains, then it's pleasure over pain

Saying every line I should have said,
Knowing every little move that I should have made instead
Tortured by a mind that won't forget
And my heart is like a butterfly trapped inside your net
And it's breaking me into
But for you it is the least I'd do
As long as love remains, then it's pleasure over pain

Hear the seconds ticking by
Praying that you'll change your mind
Breaking every rule I know
Ready to give up my pride
Waiting for a second chance
Have I waited way too long
If I had you here again
You would never leave I know
Here I am again tonight
Chanting out this little rhyme
Am I gettin' through to you or am I wasting time

[Chorus]

"Puddit (Put It Where You Want It)"

"Puddit (Put It Where You Want It)"



Puddit it in your pocket
Puddit it in your shoe
Puddit it in your locket
In your kidney stew

Corner of your office
Floor boards of your car
BB King sure keeps 'em
In that blues guitar

No matter where you go
Whatever game you playin'
Never leave home without some
Put some in everyday

To keep it in your laughter
Twinkle in your eye
Up in all your rafters
Underneath your tie

Puddit in your chapel
Underneath the pew
All your kids in chapter
Skipin' back to school

No matter where you go
Whatever game you playin'
Don't you leave home without some
Puddit in everyday

When the people start to roar
We, come back for more

Puddit it in your pocket
Puddit it in your shoe
Puddit it in your locket
In your kidney stew

One more last suggestion
Teach 'em every move
When they pop the question
Tell 'em it's the groove

"Raggedy Ann"

"Raggedy Ann"



Do you know that it was
by design
How you told me, told me,
told me
That you were free and
it was by design
How you wiggle, wiggle,
start to wiggle
When you're just walking by me
And it was by design
How you offered me just to walk
on down the road
I think that love,
love was by design

Raggedy Ann
And it was by design
Sunny fields and mansions just
behind your eyes
Lady lace and velvet passion
burning just behind your eyes
It was by design how you
conquered me
And on a fiery star we rose
I think that love, was your love,
by design
Little Miss Raggedy Ann

Would you, could you take me?
Let me fall by the wayside
Take me in your arms

Girl, you got the way to
make me love you
You got the way to make
me care
Like I never cared before,
got the way
Take me, Ann, let me fall
Little Miss Raggedy Ann
I'll be your man, if I can
Oh, baby, I'm going to be
your man

"Raging Waters"

"Raging Waters"


[CHORUS:]
Lovers cross the raging waters
Lovers walk the burnin' sand
Lovers stop the time in order
To take the moment in their hands
Lovers toss away a kingdom
Lovers abdicate the crown
Lovers fight for love and freedom
Breakin' the chains that hold'em down

You gotta keep on...
Lovin' lovers
You gotta keep on...
Didn't I say

Everyone is frantic the antics
become bizarre
Every last romantic's been
banished to some cold star
Never again expire, be tired
and given in
I'm gonna take my lover discover
the promised land
I'll say that

[CHORUS:]

You gotta keep on...
Lovin' lovers
You gotta keep on...
Touchin' others
You gotta keep on...
Lovin' lovers
You gotta keep on...
Didn't I say

[CHORUS:]

"Rainbow In Your Eyes"

"Rainbow In Your Eyes"



Well, love's got a hold on me, won't let go;
'cause it's the real thing ba-by,
I just want you to know
That I love you all the way,
More and more each day.

I love to hear you say, 'Well, loves got a hold of me too,
I know it's true; I get that funny feeling just from being close to you.
When I listen to your heart-beat
Not another sound so sweet,
Please hold my hand.'

And we climbed the highest mountain
And we sailed the seven seas,
And nobody was with us
At the top of the world in love
And runnin' free.

'Baby, I'm on fire,
And it feels so good
To have this warm desire
Like a woman should who's really got
Someone to make love to.
I'll stay right here forever with you.'

Well, I'll be right here beside you till the end,
And kiss your eyes and cast away your troubles to the wind,
And love you for all my life,
And take you for my wife,
Please hold my hand.

And we climbed the highest mountain
And we sailed the seven seas,
And nobody was with us
At the top of the world in love
And runnin' free.

I can see the love light shinin'
Like a rainbow in your eyes.
Listen to your heartbeat.
Ain't nobody here with us,
Listen to your heartbeat,
Ain't nobody here with us.
Listen to your heartbeat,
Ain't nobody here with us.

"Random Act Of Love"

"Random Act Of Love"


Really touch somebody.
Really, really touch somebody.
With a random act of love.

Everything we do with good intent
Won't ever disappear, it only ripples into habit
Ever deep, cause it's no accident
That you and I are here
And you and I were meant to happen

There's one thing, that I know
That's like a gift unto the giver
And that's a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love

An open heart can change the world we know
Into a loving place
Reviving everything that's givin' in it
Every spark, another chance to grow
Let love illuminate
The place where light is dimming

There's one thing, that I know
That's like a gift unto the giver
And that's a random act of love
Everyday find a cause
And let it flow just like a river
Into a random act of love

One simple thing,
can really touch somebody
Make somebody smile inside
What joy it brings,
to really touch somebody
Love's a win-win heart reliever,
As good for the giver as it is the receiver.
Really touch somebody with a random act of love
Really touch somebody with a random act of love

[X2]
Just one thing I know,
That's a gift to the giver
Just one thing I know,
Just, let it flow like a river
Just one thing I know,
Making life even better
One thing that I know,
Flip your script

One thing that I know of love
Everyday...

"Roof Garden"

"Roof Garden"



Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?
Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?

On the town, sequins evening gown
Climb those stairs to that ballroom in the air
Get to poppin'

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?

If you dare, dream of yesteryear
In the air, do a step with Fred Astaire
Get your top hat

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof

You can be what you want to be
Come waltz with me or a hot steppin' boogie
Funk in the pocket

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof

No one stays in downtown these days
Country calls, got us one and all

Before we end, let me recommend
What to do, when your heart is light or blue
Get to steppin'

Does anyone wanna go waltzing in the garden?
Does anyone wanna go dance up on the roof?

"Save Me"

"Save Me"


Someone wrote just yesterday
"Love's in need of love today"
Will there be none tomorrow

Faded feelings, jaded news
Where's the tender hearts
that love romance, they
seem so few

So, I write these words to say
Take heart have faith
in love's tomorrow
Where our precious dreams
will all come true

Heaven knows what I've
been through
searching for a heart that's true
Is there one in a million?

Though I've often failed the test
Everyone must journey till
that questioning is through

Shine a star for me to see what
children see on Christmas morning
Every hope and dream
to be renewed

Heaven only knows how I hope
that chance of love is higher
than one in a million

I'm a dreamer I confess
but my dreams are only of
the best that we can do

So, I'll keep on counting sheep
and will not sleep until the dawning

Help me break the news, eternal
love just beat the blues

[CHORUS:]
Save me from no love
(you oughta save me)
Save me from no love
Say sweet love has come
and is not gone,
there is all, that I want,
this morning

Save me from no love
(you oughta save me)
Save me from no love
Say sweet love has come
and will live on,
Never gone, ever on,
(strong), eternally (forever)

Now I've done the best I can, girl
I need a helping hand
Are you one in a million?

People leave without good-byes
Stay with me, for through your
eyes I see another truth

You're the star and now I see what
children see on Christmas morning

Stay and see it through the gift
of love returned to you

[CHORUS:]

I'm searchin' for love, baby,
been lookin' today
somewhere there's a love, baby,
do you know the way?

[CHORUS:]

Save me, save me
You've got to save me
Save me, save me
Baby, you can save me
Save me, save me
You've got to save me
from no love
