"Why Why"

"Why Why"


I drank up all the bottle
But my thirst won't go away
Called you on the phone girl
But there ain't much I could say
Do I get some consolation
Seems there's nothing to be had

I wonder why why why
I wonder why why why why
Must a good love go bad

Time wise I'd find someone else
But now it ain't no good
God I can't get over you
But when your here I could
No it just don't stand to reason
And it's about to drive me mad

I wonder why why why
I wonder why why why why
Must a good love go bad

I can't get used to leaving you
It's hard to face the fact
It's over now you're gone for good
Aint no turning back
Can I find some consolation
Seems there's nothing to be had

I wonder why why why
I wonder why why why why
Must a good love go bad

Its cold and dark in here tonight
Its like some kind of curse
I thought things were bad enough
Couldn't get much worse
No it just don't stand to reason
And its about to drive me mad

I wonder why why why
I wonder why why why why
Must a good love go bad

"You Can Have Me Any Time"

"You Can Have Me Any Time"


Here we are
In a room full of strangers
And an open door

Here we are
Away from all dangers
But that open door
Is calling out again
Acting like a friend
Who wants to know
If you might come away
I wonder what you'll say
You wander out again

On wings of the Night
Once again you'll take flight
And I don't hear your voice any more
Tonight's dream will end
But I'll stay long after then
And you can have me any time

Here we are
Alone in the shadows
Of our lonely room

Here we are
We all have those very lonely rooms
Like our faithless child
Frightened of the wild
He runs and hides
To keep from being still
We run around until
We lose ourselves again

On wings of the Night
Once again you'll take flight
And I don't hear your voice any more
Tonight's dream will end
But I'll stay long after then
And you can have me anytime

Tonight's dream will end
But I'll stay long after then
And you can have me anytime

"You Don't Know What Love Is"

"You Don't Know What Love Is"


You don't know what love is
Until you've learned the meaning of the blues
Until you've loved the love you had to lose
You don't know what love is

You don't know how lips hurt
Until you've kissed and had to pay the cost
Until you've flipped your heart and you have lost
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Until you've faced each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is

Do you know how a lost heart feels
The thought of reminiscing
And how lips that taste of tears
Lose their taste for kissing

You don't know how hearts burn
For love that cannot live yet never dies
Till you've face each dawn with sleepless eyes
You don't know what love is
You don't know what love is

You don't know what love is

"You Got Me Cryin'"
(originally by Jimmy Reed)



I've got a little girl
And when she holds me in her arms its out of this world
She helps keep that world
She's gotten me cryin' a valley of tears
You know who they are, because you know how I feel
You got me cryin', oh yeah, you know who you/they are

Now now you know darling, that you thrill me so
I'm telling you honey, you don't have to go
You gotten me cryin' a valley of tears
You know who they, are because you know how I feel
You gotten me cryin', oh yeah, all the way home

And now you know darling, that you thrill me so
I'm telling you honey, you don't have to go
You gotten me cryin', a valley of tears
You know who they are, because you know how I feel
You gotten me cryin', oh yeah, all the way home

"You Got My Letter"

"You Got My Letter"


You got my letter
But you must not read your mail
You got my letter baby
But you must not read your mail
Well I'm a happy man if I can get to you
And I'm a sad man if I fail

Should have known better
Than to leave it to the postal lines
I should have known better baby baby baby
I'm like a man running out of time
mmm hmmm
I laid my heart out in that envelope
Now I'm laying it on the line mmm hmmm

Ooh hoo hoo hoo hoo
Yes I'm laying it on the line mmm hmmm
Ooh hoo hoo hoo
And you could take a big load off of my mind

I hope you're gonna read it now
And give me some kind of sign
Don't take much to read it now
You don't have to read between the lines
And shine a little light on me
And take away this mystery
I need a reason to be here
I need a reason to be
And you're the reason to me
Don't fail me now

Hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo hoo

I laid my heart out in that envelope
Now I'm laying it on the line mmm hmmm

I know you're gonna be here
I know you're gonna be here soon
And make it so much better
By the light of the big old moon
Send me some good news
To chase away these yearning blues
You give me reason to be here
You give me reason to be
And you're the reason for me
Don't fail me now baby

Hoo hoo hoo
Woah oh hoo hoo
Hoo hoo hoo
Woah oh hoo hoo

You give me reason to be
You give me reason to be here
I need a reason to be
Oooh hoo

"You Got Some Imagination"


Yes I caught your flashy hand jive
From the corner of my eye
Talk about a cheap shot honey

Do you think that I can't see
What you gonna do for encores

You got a mind like a tattle tale magazine
So stop your scheming you must be dreaming
To think I'd fall for you
You got some imaginaton

Talk about some mumbo jumbo
Talk about a mixed up mind
You've got all those egos
Working overtime

Long about the stroke of midnight
No doubt where you'll be
Getting off across town
Getting over me

Lean and mean Barbara Jean
You got a mind like a tattle tale magazine
Stop your scheming you must be dreaming
To think I'd fall for you
You got some imaginaton

You don't hang around with sleazos
You don't jump in bed too fast
You just floor me honey
Talk about some class

We're talking low blow dynamo
Any way you can
Wear em down eventually
You play knock down drag em out and get your man
But you don't get to me

Lean and mean Barbara Jean
You got a mind like a tattle tale magazine
So stop your scheming you must be dreaming
To think I'd fall for you
You got some imaginaton

Lean and mean Barbara Jean
Got a mind like a dirty dirty magazine
So stop your screaming riff you must be crazy if
You thought I'd fall for you
You got some imagination

A mind like a dirty dirty magazine

You thought I'd fall for you
You got some imagination

Lean and mean ba ba ba Barbara Jean... [etc]

"You Make It So Hard (To Say No)"

"You Make It So Hard (To Say No)"


I have had my eyes on you
Oh since the day
I learned to laugh at myself
Caught you laughing too

Then you went your way
Oh and I went mine
Its strange that in another place
That joke should hit me in my face

But you oh you make it so hard baby
To say no no no oh
You yes you baby
Make it so hard to say no no no no

All that glitters is not gold
Just like good jokes get old
That spark that makes you think of me
Don't make things like they used to be

You might say that I have changed
Its just that things are rearranged
And as I once looked out for you
Now its your turn to see me through

Cos you oh baby you make it so hard girl
To say hey no no no no
You oh baby you make it sooo hard
To say no no no no

You know I tried to get you out of my mind
But now I'm to the point I find
I just can't leave and not have kissed you
You know I could never resist you

Cos you oh you make it so hard
To say no no no no
You oh you're making it so hard baby
To say no oh to say no no no no
You are making it so hard

"You'll Never Know"

"You'll Never Know"


Sooner or later you're coming thru that door
You've heard it before
Love me or leave me
I'm on your side
But the way you leave me hanging on the line
Is driving me crazy

You'll never know how much I miss you baby
It's hard to show how much I care I really care

Something inside me says that I ought to be blunt
Tell you up front
Darling I need you here by my side
But until I feel its a two way deal
We'll just keep faking

You'll never know how much I miss you baby
It's hard to show how much I care I really care

But the way you leave me hanging on the line
Is driving me crazy
It's about time that you knew baby babe
Girl I am lost without you

You'll never know how much I miss you
Its hard to show how much I care, I really care
You'll never know how much I miss you in my life
Its hard to show how much I care I really care

You'll never know how much I miss you
I miss you I miss you girl
Its hard to show how much I care

"You're Not"

"You're Not"


I can read the papers but I can't read you
Cancel my subscription I'll take pay per view
Is this a lover from another planet made up to look like you
You're out there honey and this is out of hand

Or is it all smoke and mirrors
Some holographic stunt I'm going through
Or is it voodoo
And though your fingers don't leave your hand
They just don't touch me any more... any more

Well I see your face.. its here
And its like your voice.. its here
Your pretty pink mouth.. mmm its hot
Well everybody's here - you're not

Well I know you're in range
The jingle of your change is ringing a bell
A ringa ringa
This knee jerk show of affection
This sticky new confection
Well I can't get it down

And even when you do that thing
The kinky thing you do
Well you're getting too good
You been practicing without me
And I just don't recognise
The space behind your eyes anymore

But you got your little dog.. he's here
Even your...your good intent.. it's here
You say you'll meet me and you're on the dot
Well the gang's all here honey but you're not

I see the writing on the wall
Looks like I'm heading for a fall.. Uh oh
But the supernatural fact
Is this a disappearing act I'm about to debut
Why couldn't you be true

But you're not

But you're not... [etc]
