"Steal Your Heart Away"

"Steal Your Heart Away"


I know you got a different picture in mind
Some dream a world of a different kind
I know this rhythm we've been moving to is way to slow
Each time our bodies are supposed to meet
I'm still here missing a beat
And when I look at you in your eyes
We're still dancing to a differernt tune

[Chorus:]
Take me to your dreaming place
Open up my eyes
Let me see what it takes to be
Your lover in disguise
Show me how I do those things
That make you want to stay
'Cause I'll go crazy if I don't find
The words I gotta say
To steal your heart away

I'll buy you diamonds, buy you golden rings
All kinds of beautiful things
But that don't matter to a lover with a restless heart
Cause you still want to wake up to a different scene
Some screen gem like the one in the dream
And leave me standing like a fool in the wings
Still waiting for a part to play

[Chorus]

I know you think she's right for you
That she's in tune with what you do
That she can touch you deep inside
Where all your deepest feelings lie
But I got something you should know
Before she starts to hurt you so
You can bet your life she's gonna hurt you

And maybe you think that it's alright
To leave me waiting every night
To put me down in company
In front of everyone we see
To take my loving when it's free
And then to throw it back at me

Well baby, I just can't stand it
Cause I can be the one for you
And I can make your dreams come true
And I can love you like she can
Cause fancy clothes don't make no woman
Believe me baby
I got what it takes to make you feel

And maybe you think a girl should be
As perfect as a girl can be
To love you when your feeling down
And miss you when you're not around
Well I can't be that one for you
I can only be the one that loves you

Hey, what's this on your mind
Hey, what's this change of mind
Hey, what's this on your mind

"Storm Warning"

"Storm Warning"


Storm warning, feels like a heavy rain
Winds on the coast tonight
We may get tossed tonight
Storm warning, he made it pretty plain
He's fallin' for another, found a new lover
(and he won't be back again)
Can't stop a river, when it's burst it's banks
I've seen the look in his eyes
He's in love and hypnotized
Time of mourning
There's already been a flood of my tears
Such a sense of loss tonight
Nought to do but ride it out
Can't stop a river when it's burst it's banks
I wonder how long it's gonna take
To get over this heartbreak
Storm warning, feels like a heavy rain
Winds on the coast tonight
We may get tossed tonight

"Streetlights"

"Streetlights"


I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
I thought that they were fooling
They were fooling me
And then I remember having this dream of mine
When it came down on me

I was told by a friend of mine
That it don’t matter if your dreams, they bother you
Your dreams won’t happen unless you only want them to
So I asked him for a ride
He said, “Hop on board, girl
I been waitin’ here for you”
I thought I had nothin’ left to lose

Where’d you say you’d be tonight
Streetlights are all I see

All I wanted on that ride
Was just a little kindness, a little kindness shown my way
I found myself runnin’ out of ideas on how to say
It just got to be somethin’ more than I could take
But that summer somehow we were havin’ fun
Your magic took me by surprise

Where’d you say you’d be tonight
Streetlights are all I see
And now I know the feelin’s right
Yes I know the feelin’s right
‘Cause just last night you came into my dreams

Yes you did, yes you did

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time
I thought that they were fooling
They were fooling me
And then I remember having this dream of mine
When it came down on me
I said it came down on me—Oh

Where’d you say you’d be tonight
Streetlights are all I see

And now I know the feelin’s right
‘Cause just last night you came into my dreams

I heard a voice come through on my telephone line
Told me that it was your time

"Sugar Mama"

"Sugar Mama"


Sittin here worryin'
While your lookin to find yourself
Somebody else
Me lovin' you and wantin' you baby
And you not knowin' what you want yourself
Why do you treat me so mean
It hurts so bad
All you wanna do is just sit around and jive
You dont' even know this woman's alive
Sittin' here worryin'
Knowin' your liikin' to find yourself

Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more

[Instrumental break]

Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more
You can't have love when your keepin' score
All you pretty boys used to catch my eye
I just want a man I can satisfy
Ain't gonna be no sugar mama no more

"Sweet And Shiny Eyes"

"Sweet And Shiny Eyes"


Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me

In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
Drinking salty marguaritas with fernando

Young and wild
We drove 900 miles of texas highway
To the mexican border
As the day was comin' on

We crossed the rio grande river
And we swore we'd have things our way
When we happened to walk in to nuevo leon

Your sweet and shiny eyes
Are like the stars above laredo
Like meat and potatoes
To me

In my sweet dreams we are
In a bar
And it's my birthday
And we're having our picture taken
With fernando

"Sweet Forgiveness"

"Sweet Forgiveness"


Yeah, well...

When will I learn
To take you on my journey
When will I see, yeah
That you belong to me
When will I learn
To take you on my journey
When will I see, yeah
That you belong with me?

Sweet forgiveness
How could you go, my babe
I never really knew that I needed you
But you were right there
Understand me, yeah
Honey you set my sails
When will I learn to take you with me
Everywhere?
When will I learn...?

(Sweet forgiveness)
Sweeter than honey
Give me that
Sweet forgiveness
Sweeter than wine

Hey...

Did you ever get lost
In a bundle of nerves
Did you ever get lost
In a jungle of your own words
You hurt another, hurt a brother
You hurt a sister or a lover
And then you go 'right'
Then you got to just sit back
And wait for the cure

Sweet forgiveness
How can you go, my babe
I never really knew that I needed you
But you were right there
Understand me, yeah
Honey you set my sails
When will I learn to take you with me
Everywhere?
When will I learn...?

(Sweet forgiveness)
Sweeter than honey
Give me that
Sweet forgiveness
Sweeter than wine
Give me that
Sweet forgiveness
Sweeter than honey
Give me that
Sweet forgiveness
Sweeter than wine...

"Take My Love With You"

"Take My Love With You"


Daylight, I think about you and wonder where you are
At night I'm wishing, looking at the stars,
But I don't worry 'bout you, I know that soon you'll be home.
But while you're gone

Take my love with you.
Let it be the light that sees you through,
Chase away your blues.
Where you go and what you do,
Take my love with you.

I'll be your talisman.
I'll be your lucky charm.
Put it in your pocket.
Put it in your heart.
Then in your weakness, baby, just let it help you along.
And make you strong

Take my love with you.
Let it be the light that sees you through,
Chase away your blues.
Where you go and what you do.
Take my love with you.
Take my love with you.
Take my love with you.

And if the world around you begins to crumble and fall,
It wouldn't matter at all

Take my love with you.
Let it be the light that sees you through,
Chase away your blues.
Where you go and what you do
Take my love with you.
Let it be the light that sees you through,
Chase away your blues.
Where you go and what you do,
Take my love with you.
Take my love with you.
Take my love with you.
Take my love with you.

"Takin' My Time"

"Takin' My Time"


I'm takin' my time
So please don't rush me.
Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed.
I've been here before,
I know where the traps lie.
You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.

Well I'm tired of talk,
So please don't push me.
You know I want the same kinda things that you do.
You're wasting your time,
The way you come to me.
Slow down your rhymes and try to reason

Can't make things move any faster,
By second wishing them to death.
You seem to be living on the level.
It's decent enough,
You got what you wanted.
So why do you tell me, that I'm on the wrong track?
I'm doin' the best I can do.

I try to out guess
The situation
That I know your not even fully aware of.
And I want you to know,
If it keeps on this way,
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.
Can't keep on letting you bring me down.

"Talk To Me"

"Talk To Me"


The time has come
Before our yesterday is here
I said, the time has come now baby
For you and me to get a few things clear

I might be right or I might be wrong
What does it matter if I'm weak or strong
I might be rich I might be poor
Please don't ya ever close that door

Come home and talk to me
Tell me what is on your mind
You better tell me baby
Tell me while there's still enough time

Well I gave you everything that I had
Now you're sayin' you're a little bit mad at me
I taught ya everything I knew
There ain't too much more I can do for you
You feel there's somethin' wrong?
Then you'll have to tell me it's wrong

You know it too
There's somethin' wrong with you
Don't hold it in
Come on baby, I'm still your friend

Why don't you talk to me
Tell me what is on your mind
Now ya better tell me baby
Tell me while there's still enough time

[Guitar break]

I might be right or I might be wrong
What does it matter if I'm weak or strong
I might be rich I might be poor
Please don't ya ever close that door

Come home and talk to me
Tell me what is on your mind
You better tell me baby
Tell me while there's still enough time

"Tangled And Dark"

"Tangled And Dark"


Gonna get into it
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, Baby
Down where your fears are parked.
Gonna tell the truth about it,
Honey that's the hardest part.
When we get through it, Baby
You're gonna give up your heart.

Gonna get into it, Baby
Gonna give them demons a call
Way on into it Baby
Gonna find out once and for all
Gonna get a little risky, Baby
Honey that's my favorite part
When we get through it, Baby
We're gonna give up our hearts.

Well, there's no turnin back,
No turnin back, this time
Well there's no turnin back,
No turnin back

No use in runnin
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look under the rock

[Repeat 1st verse]
