"Marry You"

"Marry You"


It's the sugar so sweet
The kind I like to eat
You and me
Tell no one else about it

I'm gonna make you mine
'Cause I know we've got the time
Now and then baby
Hey I want you to know

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

Come on in the back of my '57
Let me show you the way
Way to heaven
You're looking so sweet, yes you are
I'll make sure that you got some heat

I've got you on my mind
You know you've got my time
Now and then baby
I want you to know

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

I'm falling in love with you
I'm in love with you
You make all my dreams come true
Make all my dreams come true
Falling in love with you
I wanna marry you

I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too
I wanna marry you
Isn't that what you want too

"Mean And Evil"

"Mean And Evil"


You're throwing it all away
Everything we've been living for
All the promises that were made
They all have gone and flown away

You locked me out
And let your new love come in
Now you are making it
With my closest friend
Fussing and fighting, baby
Where have you been
Yeah, I get the message
That you clearly send

You're so mean and evil
You're so mean
You're so mean and evil
You're so mean

I saw you at the place
Where we used to go
Showing it off
With the lights down low
Telling your lover about eternity
How soon you forget
That's what you once told me

Your sweet talking
Made me go for it
Now you've got someone else
At the top of your list
Like the wind
That's blowing free
Suddenly you've changed
Turned your back on me

You're so mean and evil
You're so mean
You're so mean and evil
You're so mean

Your sweet talking
Made me go for it
Now you've got someone else
At the top of your list
Like the wind
That's blowing free
Suddenly you've changed
Turned your back on me

You're so mean and evil
You're so mean
You're so mean and evil
You're so mean

"Mean Old Frisco"

"Mean Old Frisco"


That mean ole, mean ole Frisco
And that long train, the Santa Fe
That mean ole, mean ole Frisco
And that long train, the Santa Fe
Yes, they've taken my baby away
And they blew back after me

I ain't got no, I ain't got nobody here
I ain't got no, I ain't got nobody here
Well, if I don't hear from her soon
I think I'll leave myself

Oh, I wonder
Do she ever think of me?
Yes, I wonder
Do my baby think of me?
Well, she should be worried
And should hurry back home to me

Well, if you see my baby
Tell her I need her bad
Oh, if you see my baby
Tell her I need her bad
Well, since she left me
Seems I've lost every friend I have

I've been tryin' not to worry
And tryin' to do the best I can
I've been tryin' not to worry
And tryin' to do the best I can
But now since she's gone
I'm a lonely lonely man

"Meet My Happiness"

"Meet My Happiness"


Oh, come on, come over here and meet my happiness
Oh, out she is, meet my happiness
Yeah, she's gonna take care of me an' make me happy
Yeah, from now 'til the lonely years
Yeah, she loves me with her heart and steel of a mind
Yeah, she loves me with her heart, people
With her heart and steel of a mind
I know my love is gonna last, it's just gotta last
Oh no, until the end of time, alright

Oh, there I was just a standin' there
Oh, I say, there I was, people, I was just standin' there
I had no one to love me, I had no one to care

Oh, but she offered, she offered her love to me
Somethin' no one has ever done
Oh, my baby offered her love to me
Somethin' no one has ever done
Yet, I have no regrets now, this is one thing I know

And now I'm living in paradise

"Midnight Believer"

"Midnight Believer"


You're about to believe in love again
I'll take you there and bring you back again
The night is short
Tomorrows are long
Come go with me
While the feeling is strong
Midnight believer
The night believes in you
Midnight believer
The night believes in you
I believe that the night tells us everything
The moves to make with the feel that we bring
You've got the love locked up inside
I've got the touch so there's nothing to hide
Midnight believer
The night believes in you
Midnight believer
The night believes in you

"Midnight Blues"

"Midnight Blues"


Well, the clock is strikin' twelve
Baby, somebody's gotta go
I said the clock is strikin' twelve
Baby, somebody's gotta go
Gee, but I know I'm gonna miss you, honey
That's one thing I know

When it's twelve o'clock in Memphis
It's one o'clock in San Antone
Twelve o'clock in Memphis, baby
One o'clock in San Antone
When it's midnight in California
Oh, I'll be so all alone

If midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
Midnight is an awful hour
Baby, why does it come so soon?
It never brings me happiness
Always leave me filled with gloom

Don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
Hey, don't ever gamble, buddy
Unless you're sure that you can't lose
You better take my advice
Unless you want those midnight blues

"Mini Bar Blues"

"Mini Bar Blues"


Now everyone is goin' out, but I'm stayin' in
You see I gotta nurse my lonely heart, with the mini bar gin
It's not that my baby is mad at me, no, for doin' something wrong
It's just that I'm so far, far away from her, and I've been here for so long
So won't you please try and understand that we ain't that kind of band
You choose and you choose, baby and sometimes end up with the mini bar blues
Now love thy neighbour and the children they flock
The suckers that shwag me baby are suckers that I Glock
See I'm the fire hose, and everybody knows, that I'll knock you down and kick that ass
So when I go out on the town, straight out of the ground
I ain't lookin' to get on down, it's just one of them things, ask Steve,
me and the fellas, sipping on some Heinekens,
if you know what I'm trying to express through my music
So won't you please try and understand that we ain't that kind of band
You choose and you choose, baby and sometimes end up with the mini bar blues
So won't you please try and understand that we ain't that kind of band
You choose and you choose, baby and sometimes end up with the mini bar blues

"Miss Martha King"

"Miss Martha King"


Yes, I'm sittin' here thinkin'
Thinkin' about Miss Martha King
Well, I'm sitin' here thinkin'
Thinkin' about Miss Martha King

I'm in love with that woman
I ain't afraid to call her name

Lord, I did everythin' for you
Done everything I could
Everything that I did, you know
It didn't do me no good

Miss Martha King
Do you think you're doin' me right?
Know you go out everyday, darlin'
And you don't come home tonight

Done everything, babe
Everything I could
Everything I did, you know
It didn't do me now good

Miss Martha King
Do you think you're doin' me right?
Know you go out everyday, baby
And still you want to fight

"Mistreated Woman"

"Mistreated Woman"


I sit right here baby, baby, and sit down on my knee
Yes, right here darlin', baby, and sit down on my knee
I want to tell you babe
Abut the way you're treatin' me
You're the mean mistreater darlin'
And you don't mean no man no good
Yes, a mean mistreater
And you don't mean no man no good
Yes, I'm going to quit you darlin'
And live like a wise man should
Yes, I'm going away to leave you darlin', babe
And your cryin' won't make me stay
Well, I'm going away to leave you, baby
And your cryin' won't make me stay
Yes, I'm gonna leave you darlin'
Some day you will change your way
