"Skip A Rope"

"Skip A Rope"


Skip a rope, skip a rope

Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope.

Daddy hates momma and momma hates dad
Last night, you should've heard the fight they had
It gave little sister another bad dream
She woke us all up with a terrible scream.

Skip a rope, skip a rope,

Awwwww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope.

Cheat on your taxes, don't be a fool
Now, what was that they said about a Golden Rule?
Well, never mind the rules, just play to win
And hate your neighbor for the shade of their skin.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Awww listen to the children
While they play
Now, ain't it kinda' funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope.

Stab 'em in the back,
That's the name of the game
And momma and daddy
Are who's to blame.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.

Awww listen to the children
While they play
It's really not very funny
What the children say.

Skip a rope, skip a rope.
Skip a rope, skip a rope

"Slow Hand"

"Slow Hand"


As the midnight moon was drifting through
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted to see.

Darling, don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
You're tired of fast moves
You got a slow groove on your mind.

You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.

Moon shadowed ground with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
Hey, we're drifting free like two losties
On the crazy wind of the night.

Darling don't say a word I've already heard
What your body is saying to mine
If you want all night you know it's alright
I've got time.

You've got a man with a slow hand
You've got a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand.

You want a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody
Who will spend some time with you baby
Not come and go in a heated rush
Baby believe me I understand
When it comes to love you want a slow hand...

"Slow Lovemakin'"

"Slow Lovemakin'"


What would you think about wine, and dinner by candlelight
A nice warm glowing fire to lie down beside
And what about a song or two, a walk in the midnight mist
And after all that what would you think about this?

Let's do some slow lovemakin' tonight
'Cause when your slow lovemakin', your makin' it right
And when your tired and weary from the cares of the day
A little slow lovemakin' will take us away.
Hey ey ey take us away.

What about when we awake, between the dark and the dawn
What would you think if our love went on and on
Now that we found a way, we know right where it's at
And after all of this, what would you think about that?

Let's do some slow lovemakin' tonight
'Cause when your slow lovemakin', your makin' it right
And when your tired and weary from the cares of the day
A little slow lovemakin' will take us away.
hey ey ey.

Let's do some slow lovemakin' tonight
'Cause when your slow lovemakin', your makin' it right
And when your tired and weary from the cares of the day
A little slow lovemakin' will take us away. hey ey ey...

"Slowly"

"Slowly"


Slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly you're winning a heart that can be true
For I can't hide my feelings no matter what I do
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you

More and more I need you and want you by my side
More and more I love you as each day passes by
My heart I know you're stealing I hope that you'll be true
For slowly I'm falling more in love with you
Slowly I'm falling more in love with you...

"Snake Boots"

"Snake Boots"


Well, I was working this joint in Dallas
To make the payment on my car
Just a weekend stand with a local band
They had me playin' rhythm guitar.

Well, I was singin' some old cheatin' song
When this blue-eyed blonde came by
She said, I'm a table over in the corner
Why don't you drop around and say hi
So, I did.

Well, she was dressed like a million dollars
But she was way up outta my class
She whispered into my ear, honey I hear
A honky tonk man moves fast.

All of the sudden my body went numb
I had enough sense to see
That everything I ever wanted in life
Was coming to easy for me.

So I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait, just a cotton-pickin' minute."

You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.

You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.

Well, she was quicker that a boys good judgment
So, we were headed for the parkin' lot
When a guy in the band said, "Wait a minute, man
Lord, are you crazy or what?"

"Well, ole big bad Tex is her lover
And, he's terribly skilled with a knife
He's real particular 'bout who rides his horse
And, nobody fools with his wife."

So, I said, "Wait just a minute,
Wait just a dang minute."

You better not get caught in the desert
Without your snake boots on
You don't lay down on the railroad tracks
'Til after the train is gone.

You don't swim out in deep water
With your pockets full of stone
You don't get caught in the desert, nah,
Without your snake boots on.

You don't get caught in the desert, son,
Without your snake boots on.

Hey, watch out for that snake

"Some Kind Of A Woman"

"Some Kind Of A Woman"


He's tempted by the devil to give up
The love he knows he's got at home
And temptation sometimes leads the best of men
To want to stay out all night long.

And the way the world is turnin'
You can find anything you wanna see
But I know you turn it down, turn around
And then come on home to me.

But I've got me some kind of woman
And she loves me like nobody can
Yes, I've got me some kind of a woman
And that's why I go on home to be her man.

He lets me know that I am the only girl
In the world he wants to hold
And I can tell by the way he touches me
That his love will not grow cold.

So why should he go looking for another
When I'm all he'll ever need
I'm satisfied to be with him and his love
Sure does take good care of me.

But I've got me some kind of woman
And she loves me like nobody can
Yes, I've got me some kind of a woman
And that's why I go on home to be her man...

"Somebody Lied"

"Somebody Lied"


Hello, yeah, this is me
Lord, it's been a long, long time
I know this ain't no social call
So, go ahead, get it off your mind

You heard what? Well, it ain't true
I was here most all last night
I got over you the day you left
Could it be somebody lied?

You heard what? That I was cryin'?
I haven't shed a tear in years
That I spoke your name? Well, that's insane
I've hardly noticed you're not here

I showed your picture to some stranger
Don't you think I've got no pride?
They've been here at home, face down on a shelf
Lord, I bet somebody lied

But if it were true, would it matter to you?
Would it change the way you feel?
If the rumors were right, would you be here tonight
To help this old heart heal?

Well, don't worry, it wasn't me
Just someone whose world was torn in two
Someone who looked a lot like me
And loved someone like you

Someone who looked a lot like me
And still loves someone like you

"Somebody's Needin' Somebody"

"Somebody's Needin' Somebody"


Someone somewhere's fallin' asleep
In a chair in front of the tv
'Cross town somebody's
Up and walkin' the floor at a quarter to three.

In some little corner of the world
A forgotten soul is waitin' by the phone
And right down the hall someone's in there feelin'
Like cryin' 'cause they're livin' all alone.

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.

Late at night it's lonely and I wonder how I'll ever get through
There's got to be somebody somewhere who's feelin' it too
Hurtin' inside, goin' through the motions, it's so hard to live
So many feelin' so lonely when they got so much to give.

Somebody's needin' somebody the way I do
Somebody's wantin' somebody they can hold on to
To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody somewhere waitin' for me.

To be loved by somebody that's the way it should be
Oh, there's got to be somebody out there waitin' for me...

"Someday You'll Love Me"

"Someday You'll Love Me"


Might be dreamin', might be crazy
Thinkin' you might love me maybe
Poor hearts pounding, overflowin'
Taking bets, I know where it's goin'

Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you

Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you

There's a glimmer in you eye now
What I'm sure of soon you'll find out
Oh, I want you moonlight dancin'
I won't take no for no answer

Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you

Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you

Someday you'll love me, it's written in the stars
Someday you need me, to hold you in my arms
Someday you'll want me, just as much as I want you

Someday you'll love me, I will be the one
Someday you need me, just call and I will come
Someday you'll love me just as much as I love you
Just as much as I love you

"Something Strange Got Into Her Last Night"

"Something Strange Got Into Her Last Night"


It was just another day
Going 'bout the same old way
As yesterday and all the days before
I got off work and went straight home
But this time I found her gone
Until three A.M. when she walked through the door.

And she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.

As I dress for work I softly walk
Lord we sure do need to talk
But I guess I'll just stop at noon
And maybe call her on the phone
'Cause I suppose it's best
To just let her sleep and rest
But it's killing me wondering
If I've done something wrong.

'Cause she was crying
Like her whole world had died
She kept turning away
She wouldn't look me in the eye
And she wouldn't let me hold her
To try to make everything alright
Something strange got into her last night.

Something strange got into her last night...
