"No Gettin' Over You"

"No Gettin' Over You"


Well I went and gave away my TV
Told the man "cut off the phone"
I put an ad in the paper, baby,
Gonna sell everything I own
Done everything in the world I know
To try to make it through
There's just no getting over you

Well I went and bought myself a new straw hat
One eye pokin' under the brim
Bought myself a little seaside shack
In case I might just want to swim
Done everything I know in the world I know
To try to shake these blues but
There's just no getting over you

Well I try and try
But honey it ain't no use
Cry and cry
I just can't turn you loose
Why oh why
Can't I get you off my mind
You got that hook so far in
I gotta get you off my line

Well I got some transcendental meditation
And I'm taking up Japanese
I signed up at the cooking school
I'm going to pick up on some hard cuisine
Done everything in the world
Just to try to make it through
There's just no getting over you

Well I try and try
But honey it ain't no use
Cry and cry
Just can't turn you loose
Why oh why
Can't I get you off my mind
You got that hook so far in
I just got to get you off my line

Now listen to this one time
You know the way you do, honey

Well I just can't make it over
Can't seem to make it baby
No matter what I say or do baby
I can't make it over
Oooh
Well there's just no getting over you

"No Way To Treat A Lady"

"No Way To Treat A Lady"


You can tease me
You can sweet-talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catchin' on

Now you left me here with nothin'
And you put my love on hold
Well there must be somethin' behind those eyes
Cuz I believed every lie you told

That ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't no way to treat a lady
I coulda sworn that you'd had enough

So you'd leave me
When I'm lonely and in despair
It intrigues me
How you don't really seem to care

Well I ain't here for nothin'
And my love doesn't come that cheap
I would hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep

That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love

You can tease me
You can sweet-talk and lead me on
But believe me
Won't be long till I'm catchin' on

Cuz I ain't here for nothin'
And my love doesn't come that cheap
And I would hold you to all your promises
If I could find one you meant to keep

That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love
That ain't ain't no way to treat a lady
That ain't no way to treat a woman in love

"Nobody's Girl"

"Nobody's Girl"


She don't need anybody to tell her she's pretty.
She's heard it every single day of her life.
He's got to wonder what she sees in him
When there's so many others standing in line.

She gives herself to him, but he's still on the other side.
She's alone in this world, She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.

She shows up at this doorstep in the middle of the night,
Then she disappears for weeks at a time.
Just enough to keep him wanting more
But never is he satisfied.

And he's left to pick up the pieces, wondering what does he do this for.
She's off in her own little world, She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.

He said "Before I met her, I didn't love nothin.'
I could take it or leave it, that was okay, but
She brings out a want in me
For things I didn't even know that I need."

She does anything she wants, anytime she wants to,
With anyone. You know, she wants it all.
Still she gets all upset over the least little thing,
When you hurt her, it makes you feel so small.

And she's a walking contradiction,
But I ache for her inside.
She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.

She's fragile like a string of pearls.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.
She's nobody's girl.

"Not Cause I Wanted To"

"Not Cause I Wanted To"


Well I'm calling you
'Cause you deserve to know
You were not the reason that I had to go,
Late at night in these hotel rooms
I think of all I've lost,
And what I put you through

And if I knew the reason
I would tell you why somehow
The feeling slipped away
I only did what I had to do
Not cause I wanted to.

I've got a guilty heart
And a troubled mind
No matter where I go
They're never far behind
I'd like to think
That you've forgiven me
But forgiveness ain't enough
To wash my conscience clean

Oh and if I knew the reason
I would tell you why somehow
The feeling slipped away
I only did what I had to do
Not cause I wanted to.
I only did what I had to do
Not cause I wanted to.

"Not The Only One"

"Not The Only One"


[Chorus:]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feelin that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one.

One chance intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
And we'd have passed each other by
When I heard your sweet voice callin
Saw your light come shinin throught
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin out my love for you, my love to you.

[Chorus]

True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin up on you
When I thought that I was dreamin
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time.

[Chorus]
I was in a daze, movin in the wrong direction
Feeling that I'd always be the lonely one
When I saw your face through the web of my confusion
Whisperin that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one

"Nothing Seems To Matter"

"Nothing Seems To Matter"


Seems like such a long time since I held you my arms,
And felt you close and warm beside me,
Another night is getting late and I'm alone with just the ache
And the memory of you beside me.

Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
There's nothing I can do.
I won't make it on my own,
So won't you please hurry home,
'cause nothing seems to matter without you.

Last time I saw you,
There was nothing we could say,
We knew it was a time for a change,
A time to think you said that night,
And I lied and said all right,
I left you in the morning,
I watched you in the window,
And Mexico will never be the same.

It was time to be apart,
But somehow it seems this heart of mine,
Will never find a way to live without you.
And now I'm out here on the road
And I'm feeling bought and sold,
And tonight I just can't but think about you.

Darling, I've never been so blue,
I've tried to see it through,
There's nothing I can do,
I won't make it on my own
So darling won't you hurry home,
Because nothing seems to matter without you.
No, nothing seems to matter without you.

"One Belief Away"

"One Belief Away"


Last night I thought I found you
I saw it in a dream
I was tangled in the rushes, baby
You were caught up in the stream
And the more I tried to reach you
The more you slipped away
And when I woke up in the darkness
I was callin' out your name

[Chorus:]
You and I we dance around it
Why is the truth so hard to say
We long for true love, well
We've found it, it's just
One belief away

There's a shadow in the garden
And it's coiled around our hearts
Won't you help me to believe you, baby
Won't you show me where to start

The more I try to reach you
The more you slip away
I want to wake up in the darkness
And hear you callin' out my name

[Chorus]

"One Part Be My Lover"

"One Part Be My Lover"


When he looks in her eyes
He sees only the truth
Tellin' him he's been living a lie
Over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass him by
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find what she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered it really don't matter
Her hearts like a wave and he's the tide

[Chorus:]
They're not forever just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away

He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
All of the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land
Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is colored, one is gray

[Chorus]

If you know how why don't you say em' a prayer
They're gonna need all they help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget
Forget themselves in each other
And leave what belongs in the past
Carry thier hearts like a new born child
Cause it's only the moment that lasts.

[Chorus]

One part go away

"Papa Come Quick (Jody And Chino)"

"Papa Come Quick (Jody And Chino)"


Papa come quick, Jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone
She left a note on the TV and Papa it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone.

Mama's been cryin in the kitchen since mornin
She cried right through As The World Turns
I seen it myself and Papa it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned.

Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gunrack
Jody's with Chico down in East LA.

It must've been that wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like Jody don't think for herself.
Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena
Smokin that stuff'll make you hurt yourself.

Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come quick
Papa come on.

[Repeat 1st verse]

Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about a half a day
Stop at the Mobil, pump up the flat wheel
Jody & Chico and his ding dang deal.

"Pleasin' Each Other"

"Pleasin' Each Other"


You remind me, you remind me
That it's a trick to know you.
I don't even know
How, I fel in love with you.
Was it your eyes, or was it your clothes,
Was the way you greeted me when the sun rolls, the sun rolls.
I was lonely when I first called you.
We were kids just foolin' with lovin'
You took me in, and you didn't even know me or my games.

I was out on the road, acting a lady
I was with him for one night for some love and a song
Then you came along, you don't care about money
You don't care about time,
And ourlove just keeps rolling, rolling along
Say hey don't you worry,
Cause we can get along
If were pleasin' each other
Pleasin'each other, pleasin' each other,
Can't be wrong.
[Repeat twice]
