"Love Don't Love Nobody"

"Love Don't Love Nobody"


Sometimes a girl, will come and go
You reach for love, but I won’t let you know
That in the end, you’ll still be loving her
But then she’s gone, you’re alone
I’ll never learn to get myself
I’ve been a fool, now I need somebody else
Just like boy blue, I’d blow my own for you
Just lead me on, baby, I should have known

It takes a fool to learn
Now that love don’t love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
That love don’t love no-one

The silent pain, disarmed my face
My heart beats on, but I won’t take the blame
I’d give her all, all the love I had to give
My love was strong, something sure and right

It takes a fool to learn
Now that love don’t love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
That love don’t love no-one

It takes a fool to learn
Now that love don’t love nobody
It takes a fool to learn
That love don’t love no-one

"Love Letters"

"Love Letters"


Love letters straight from your heart
Keep us so near while apart
I'm not alone in the night
When I can have all the love you write

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then
I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

I memorize every line
And I kiss the name that you sign
And darling then
I read again right from the start
Love letters straight from your heart

"Love Me Tomorrow"

"Love Me Tomorrow"


You say that you love me anyway
But I know its not in your eyes
You say you can take it night and day
But I know its an alibi

Dejon where did we go wrong
You said that you'd be mine
Till the end of time
Love me tomorrow
Love me tomorrow
Love me tomorrow
Love me tomorrow

I say its a sad sort of play
When you never get to my lines
You say that I'm better off this way
But I know it's all in your mind

Dejon where did we go wrong
You said that you'd be mine
Till the end of time
Love me tomorrow
Love me tomorrow
Forget all your sorrow
Love me tomorrow

Dejon where did we go wrong
You said that you'd be mine
Till the end of time
Love me tomorrow
Love me tomorrow
Forget all your sorrow
Love me tomorrow

"Love On A Two Way Street"
(originally by Lezli Valentine)

"Love On A Two Way Street"
(originally by Lezli Valentine)



I found love on a two way street,
and lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street,
lost it on a lonely highway

True love will never die,
so I've been told, but now I must cry
And it's finally goodbye, I know

With music softly playing,
her lips were gently saying "I love you"
She held me in desperation,
I thought it was a revelation, then she walked out

How could I be so blind,
to give my love for the very first time
To be fooled is a hurting thing,
to be loved and fooled is a crying shame
While I bear the blame,
as she laughs my name

With music softly playing,
her lips were gently saying "Honey, I love you."
She held me in desperation,
I thought it was a revelation, then she walked out

I found love on a two way street,
and lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street,
lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street,
I lost it on a lonely highway
Love on a two way street...

"Lowdown"

"Lowdown"


Baby's into runnin' round
Hangin' with the crowd
Putting your business in the street
Talkin' out loud
Sayin' you bought her this and that
And how much you done spent

To the sad sad truth

Taught her how to talk like that
(Oooh oooh..

Gave her that big idea

Nothin' you can't handle

Put your money on the table
And drive it off the lot
Turn on that old lovelight
And turn a maybe to a yes
Same old schoolboy game

"Mental Shakedown"

"Mental Shakedown"


Are we locked up to each other
Must we stir through the ashes
Stir through the ashes of the past
For a time it was tough to survive
But it's time to get on with our lives

And now you've gotta do a mental shakedown
What is it gonna take your sanity's at stake
Shakedown

Yeah yeah

There's a cold wind off the border tonight
As we take to the ridges
Burning our bridges to the past
And the cry rises from the west
We are not each others to possess

Now you've gotta do a mental shakedown
What is it gonna take your sanity's at stake
Shakedown

Now you've gotta do a mental shakedown
What is it gonna take your sanity's at stake
Shakedown

You've got you've got
Now you've got to do your mental shakedown

What is it gonna take
You're sanity's at stake
Shakedown

Yeah

Now you've got to do a mental shakedown
What's it gonna take

Shakedown

Yeah you've got to do your mental shakedown
What is it gonna take
You're sanity's at stake

Shakedown

"Middle Man"

"Middle Man"


Yes I quite understand
I just might have your man tonight
He'll be lookin' good Hollywood
Everything right on cue
That's a clue
If you're in town and he's around
Well anything I can do
Maybe
I could get him on the line
Yes I think you'd like him fine
You could spend all his money.. honey

He'll want a little
Just a little
Taste of your love
He'll need a little
Just a little
Bit of your love
He'll take you uptown
Downtown
Up Third Avenue
So if you need a little
I'll be the middle man for you

There's a hot moon tonight
If I feel like jumping I just might
We could grab a pack go back and start
A little thing or two me and you
I can't resist you know there's
Something I've been dying to do
Maybe we could take in all the sights
We could roll some heavy dice
And we could blow all my money.. honey

I want a little
Just a little
Taste of your love
Not just a little
But every little
Trace of your love
I'll take you uptown downtown
Up a lonely avenue
Yes I'm in the middle smack dab middle
Man for you

I want a little
Just a little
Taste of your love
Need a little
Just a little
Taste of your love
I'll take you uptown downtown
Down a lonely avenue
Oh I am the middle
Yes the middle man for you
Yes I need a little
Just a little
Taste of your love

"Might Have To Cry"

"Might Have To Cry"


Taxis lights pull out of sight
Around the lane and into the night
Goodbye this time may be the last

Might have to cry might have to lie
Might have to die a little

Evening song didn't last long
Dreamed I was right sussed I was wrong
So I make my way through an empty day

Might have to cry might have to lie
Might have to die a little... this time

Never believed she would leave
I forgot about last time
When she walked out this morning
I went out of my mind

I'll try to smile
Pretend it never happened
Leave 'em slow but leave 'em laughing
I'll try to fight down to the last

Might have to cry might have to lie
Might have to die a little... this time

Some people live and learn
Never was lucky that way
Wanted so hard to believe her

But other rains will come
And wash it all away
Other loves will come and go
You must believe me when I say
Didn't want it that way

I'll try to smile
Pretend it never happened
Leave 'em slow but leave 'em laughing
Goodbye this time may be the last

Might have to cry
Might have to lie
Might have to die a little

Might have to cry
Did you ever have to lie
Did you ever have to die a little
Whoa whoa did you ever have to cry
You know you have to lie
You know you gotta die just a little... a little
You know you have to die whoa you gotta cry
Whoa you gotta die

"Miss Riddle"

"Miss Riddle"


Hey Miss Riddle I'm stuck in the middle again
I don't know how but you've got me playing both ends
Of a game I should know all about
That you came and turned inside out
Hey Miss Riddle I'm stuck in the middle again

It's a long way home it's late and yet we pretend
It's a long way home when you call last night just friends
So cool so clear so nonchalant
So absolutely what I want
Hey hey Miss Riddle I'm stuck in the middle again

I've heard a lot of talk about how you were sizing me up
A line or two you dropped about but don't let me interrupt
Your game Miss Riddle I'm stuck in the middle again

Mmmmmmm

I found out why those birds go looking for spring
I found out what those dizzy heights can bring
Because I've found your lips so awfully nice
One stop south of paradise
Whatcha say Miss Riddle
What say we do it again.. again.. again

Hey Miss Riddle I'm stuck in the middle again
I don't know how but you've got me playing both ends
Of a game I should know all about
That you came and turned inside out
Hey hey Miss Riddle I'm stuck in the middle.. again.. again

Whatcha say Miss Riddle I say we do it again

It's a long way home
Whatcha we stop it
Whatcha say we drop it
Whatcha say Miss Riddle
What say we do it again.. again.. again.. again
