"Hello My Lover"

"Hello My Lover"


Hello my lover wherever you are
I've been a fool my dear
A fool by far
But I've grown up in my mind
I've played the game of love and lost
And now I'm crying
Aha Aha oh yeah

If you come back my dear
There'll be some changes made
I will alter myself in every way
I'm gonna start a brand new policy
I'm gonna teach you a lesson in loveology
Hmmm hmmm mmm mmm oh yeah

Yes I will
Yes I will
You know I will

I'm gonna try my best do what is right
I'm gonna bewitch you my dear
Day and night
I'm gonna teach a brand new policy
I'm gonna teach you a lesson in loveology
Hmmm Hmmm oh yeah

Yes I will
Yes I will
You know I will

Yes I will
Yes I will
You know I will

Yes I will
Yes I will
You know I will

"Hercules"

"Hercules"


All you fear
Is fear itself
Check out your own back yard
'Fore you check out someone else

Railroad tracks
In my neighborhood
Ain't no trains around
That boy just ain't no good

Wanna know
Whats going down
And the pimp on the corner
Looks like the sharpest cat in town

Jungle rule
Can't be no fool
Might get caught
By the hook or the crook
Hot time for cool

Look out Jake what you say
What you carrying brother
I hope you're clean
Cause the man is mean
Gonna dump on another brother

But we all know the answer
Will come out in time
I might even carry
Some of your load along with mine

Thank you ma'am mister please
But it must be Hercules
Must be Hercules

Like a bird
On the wing
I just wanna be free enough
To do my thing

I can feel the pressure
On every side
If you not gonna help don't hurt
Just pass me by
Ooooh ooooh
Ooooh
Aaaaaah

Hercules

Must be must be Hercules

Alright
Jungle rules
Can't be no fool
The devil is on the loose
No cool.. no cool

Got your feet
In the sand
Got to be down with the cats around
And you still gotta face that man

Oh
Talk about me if you please
Must be Hercules

Must be Hercules

Pitching rocks
Catching stones
Newton how can I survive
Whats going on

Beg steal borrow
Somehow I've gotta make it till tomorrow
Just like Hercules

Thank you ma'am mister please
Must be Hercules

"Here To Stay"

"Here To Stay"


I never put much behind no smiles
Never felt this way for more than a little while

Loving you makes more sense
Than keeping up or paying rent
Anytime.. anytime

You walked by you got my eye
You bring on the blue blue sky
Make my day blow my blues away

I'm gonna let the four winds blow
Aint gonna worry which way they go
I'm here to stay
Na na na na na na na
Oh.. oh I'm here to stay.. alright

Never stayed long with no country dreams
Never take much from no city schemes
No I never did.. no I never did

You came along I forgot about the past
Loves gonna grow I know it's gonna last
All the time.. all the time

Like the moon comes creeping on a summer night
Sometimes things come on just right
Make my day.. blow my blues away

I'm gonna let the four winds blow
Aint gonna worry which way they go
No I'm here to stay.. here to stay

Hmmmmm

Oh I'm here to stay.. alright

Never put much behind no smiles
Never felt this way for more than a little while

Hmmmmm

Loving you makes more sense

Hey hey baby

Baby, when you by my side,

Baby when you're in my arms,

And I start to jump up and down in my ring
Hard start to jump up and down as a spring
Chills run up and down my spine it's true,
My face gets all sweat and it's all because of you.

And, I get a High Blood Pressure
Cause my eyes go mad.

And my heart gets to jump it's a terrible swing
My heart get to pump up and down my pain
Chills run up and down my spine it's true,
My face gets all sweat and it's all because of you.

I get a High Blood Pressure
'Cause I'm your man! Oh, yeah

"Hollywood"

"Hollywood"


The way you read the crowd
The way you make them pay
You stepped in and did the scene a whole new way
No one would resist you now
And even if they could
Hollywood just never had it quite this good

I see your name in lights
I see them standing in line
They send the cards and the wine
Broadway here she comes
You should be a natural

(Camera action do it again)
Ooh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
Yeah I'm gonna make you a star
(Camera action do it again)
Ooh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
To get you this part

No one had to tell you what your smile was for
You sure there's not an uncle name of Barrymore
Now she did this and she did that
You are the latest talk
Now there lining up for you around the block

Throwing roses
And Holy Moses
Even the Times say
Sparks fell from the skies
That gets you immortalized

(Camera action do it again)
Oh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
Yeah I'm gonna make you a star
(Camera action do it again)
Ooh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
To get you this part

They gave you 5 stars
They're sending big cars
And Sunset Boulevard
Will never be the same
You give it a brand new name

(Camera action do it again)
Oh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
Yeah I'm gonna make you a star
(Camera action do it again)
Ooh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
To get you this part

(Camera action do it again)
Oooh anyway I gotta do it
(What a reaction do it again)
To get you this part
(Camera action do it again)
(What a reaction do it again)
Ooooh... do it again
What a reaction do it again

"Hollywood Blues"

"Hollywood Blues"


Rich girl she got her bag
Poor girls got one too
My girls happy just doing her thing
She's doing what she wanna do

You can be
Anyone you wanna be
So why you wanna be
Someone else

Rich girl looks like a movie star queen
Other girls don't have a care
Now my baby looks like a something too
She looks like she's sitting right there

You can be
Anyone you wanna be
So why you wanna be
Oh.. someone else

Ah tell me now

Everybody takes little hints sometimes
But know there's nothing there to lose
Make darn sure it's your own thing baby

You can be
Anyone you wanna be
Oh.. so why you wanna be
Yeah.. someone else

Anyone you wanna be.. yeah
So why you got to be

"How Long"

"How Long"


I know I done you dirty
I know I done you wrong
Tell me how long
Has that evening train been gone
How long... tell me baby... how long

Think I hear a whistle
Think I hear a train
Deep down inside me there's a burning pain
How long... tell me baby... how long

You know I love you baby
I swear I do
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
How long... tell me baby... how long

If I could holler like a lumberjack
I'd climb this mountain lord
And call my baby back
How long... tell me baby... how long

I know I done you dirty
I know I done you wrong
Tell me how long
Has that evening train been gone
How long... tell me baby... how long

"How Long Has This Been Going On"

"How Long Has This Been Going On"


I could cry salty tears
Where have I been all these years
I'm like wow like tell me now
How long has this been going on

There were chills up my spine
And some thrills I can't define
Listen sweet I repeat
How long has this been going on

Oh I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on

Oh I feel that I could melt
Into heaven I'm hurled
I know how Columbus felt
Finding another world

Kiss me once then once more
What a dunce I was before
What a break for heaven's sake
How long has this been going on
How long has this been going on

"I Don't Hear You"

"I Don't Hear You"


The blue light flashes
Billy feels its motion
He says
"Should I go and set it free?"

Black-eyed Suzie
Picks up on the notion
She says
"Put it in the lonely tree"

He says
"Babe we best sharpen our imagination"
He says
"It seems like the rest
Don't comprehend the situation"

I don't hear you
All the words that come and go
Don't say what I'm after

I don't hear you
Scream it through a microphone
Whisper in a deadly tone
Don't hear you
Uh hum not you

Jane's a dancer
In quiet desperation
She says
"What I give I give for free"

Her twin sister
Feels the same sensation
But says
"You must buy it all from me"

She says
"Oh I feel best
When the rest is all uncertain"
She says
"Thoughts in my breast
just hang there like a burning curtain"

I don't hear you
You don't matter you don't care
I don't call that living

I don't hear you
What you say don't reach inside
It is like you're gagged and tied

I don't hear you

He said
"Go with the flow
Though the currents can bring danger"
"You didn't know
you were dancing with a desperate stranger"

I don't hear you
I've been dealing with deaf ears
I don't need no laughter

I don't hear you
It ain't hard to analyze
I know what you're really after

I can't hear you
