"Star Of The Show"

"Star Of The Show"


We sang a love song the day that we met
You thought that we made the perfect duet
You liked my performance so you wanted to know
If I would stay on as the star of the show
And beautiful music we made for a time 'til she changed our tune
And you added new lines
Our duet arrangement became a trio
Now you want a star, but I just think you should know

I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band
And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan
And I'm nobody's co-star
I just play leading rolls
And I don't want the part, don't want a part
Won't play a part unless it's star of the show

Oh, she's stealing the show that's been so dear to my heart
She's changing our song 'til I'm not sure of my part
She sharing the spotlight and there's not room for both
Now one or the other is the star of the show, the other goes

Life is a show and the show will go on
The world is stage, loves an act we perform
There's always some new act somewhere up the road
And I'll always be staring in somebodies' show

I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band
And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan
And I'm nobody's co-star
I just play leading rolls
And I don't want the part, don't want a part
Won't play a part unless it's star of the show

I don't play second fiddle in nobody's band
And I'm no back-up singer and I won't be a fan
And I'm nobody's co-star
I just play leading rolls
And I don't want the part, don't want a part
Won't play a part unless it's star of the show

If I don't star in your show
Well I'm still a star and I can still go
You know I got to be, I got to be the star of the show

"Starting Over Again"

"Starting Over Again"


Momma moved out
Daddy sold the house
They split up the money
And went on their way
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Couldn't put mommy and daddy back together again

Starting over again
Where should they begin
'Cause they've never been out on their own
Starting over again
Where do you begin
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And the whole world cries

Got an apartment
She moved in with her sisters
He's scheming big deals with one of his friends
While she sits at home
Just sorting out pieces
Of left over memories
From thirty odd years

Starting over again
Where do you begin
You've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end

What will the neighbors say?
They're talking talk, its small town news
Facing fifty years old
Making up a happy home
And this far down the road
You find yourself alone
Two fools

Starting over again
Now where do you begin
When you've never been out on your own
Starting over again
Never any end
When your dreams are all shattered
And the kids are all grown
And all the king's horses
And all the king's men
Could never put mommy and daddy back together
Back together, again

"Stay Out Of My Bedroom"
(from "Rhinestone" soundtrack)



Stay out of my bedroom
Don't be messin' up my pillows and sheets
With your powder and perfume
If you don't have some understanding of me
Don't be kncokin' on my door
I don't want you to play in my fantasies
Stay out of my bedroom
Baby, if you can't take the heat

If you want it, come and get it, baby
Satisfaction guaranteed
I'm a pleaser, free and eager
I ain't never had as much fun as I need
Easy lovin', that's down my alley
I may be easy but, at least I'm cheap
Stay out of my bedroom, baby
Baby, if you can't take the heat

Stay out of
Stay out of
You're dealin' with some hot stuff
Baby, can you deal with the heat?

We might burn on forever, we might burn on tonight
Where there's smoke there is fire from the flames that I ignite
The heat is intense when the fire's blazin' high
Slavin' over all those red hot lovers at night

If you come to my bedroom the heart of the heat
I will pleasure your body in sheer ecstasy
I will touch you in places no one else ever reached
Till you won't remember anybody else but me

If you want it come and get it
If it burns you don't come cryin' to me
Don't come knockin' on my door
Baby, if you can't take the heat
Don't be peepin' through my window
If you don't appreciate what you see
Stay out of my bedroom, baby
Baby, if you can't take the heat

Stay out of, stay out of
You're dealin' with some hot stuff
Baby, can you deal with the heat?
Stay out of my bedroom...
If you can't take it, stay out of my bedroom

"Steady As The Rain"

"Steady As The Rain"


Raindrops tumble to the ground
Making puddles all around
Drops of rain that look like tears
Fall on my window pane

Raindrops seem to harmonize
With teardrops falling from my eyes
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

Steady as the rain they fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears that cannot wash away the pain
Sometimes without knowing it
I touch my face and find it wet
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

I can't face the fact that
I am not important in your life
Once you lived for rollin' me
And then your feelings changed
There's just no gettin' over you
I try so hard, but it's no use
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain

Raindrops just keep falling down
Beatin' out their rhythmic sounds
Dancin' as they play their sweet refrain
Memories of you cloud my mind
Cloud my eyes and I start cryin'
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
As steady as the rain

Steady as the rain they fall
Tears that just won't dry at all
Tears that just won't wash away the pain
Memories of you cloud my mind
Cloud my eyes and I start cryin'
And my tears keep falling down
As steady as the rain
As steady as the rain

"Still On Your Mind"

"Still On Your Mind"


Darling you know, you know I love you like I love no other
And you told me, remember when you told me, you'd forget her in time
Time passes by but still you can't forget her, it looks like you can't forget her
Oh and that makes me wonder if you'll ever, ever be mine
There's no way, no way I'm gonna get inside of your heart, inside your heart
While there's another, another still on your mind
There's no way, no way I'm gonna get inside of your heart, inside your heart
Not when there's another, another still on your mind
There's just no way, no way I'm gonna get inside of your heart, inside your heart
Not while there's another, another still on your mind, still on your mind

"Straight Talk"
(from "Straight Talk" soundtrack)

"Straight Talk"
(from "Straight Talk" soundtrack)



Gimme some straight talk, straight talk - and hold the sugar please
Straight talk, straight talk - sounds plenty sweet to me
Don't talk to me in circles in some mumbo-jumbo jive
Gimme just straight talk, straight talk and we're gonna be alright

'Cause I like to know just where I stand, I don't like guessing games
And I hate a bunch of gibberish, so just spit it out real plain
Don't use big educated words from your BS Degree
Straight talk, straight talk - don't try B.S.-ing me

Straight talk, straight talk - turn loose and let it go
You can tell me anything - just like on Oprah's show
Just tell me how you really feel, be on the up and up
With questions I can understand - for answers you can trust

Pick up the 'phone, you're not alone - we've all got something to say
So listen in and listen up - we'll find a better way
With honesty and common sense, it's really hard to miss
Straight talk, straight talk - just tellin' it like it is

Straight talk, straight talk - there's nothing like the truth
Just tell me all your troubles - pretend I'm Donahue
So don't be shy, 'cause we can talk - you know you've got a friend
Call me, call me - for simple straight talkin'

What's cookin', America?

Straight talk, Straight talk
Straight talk, Straight talk

So come on let's talk turkey, just straight and to the point
About passions, about problems, about noses out of joint
Now I want you all to know I care and I do understand
And hey, thanks for lending me an ear out there in radioland

Give me some straight talk, straight talk - don't sugar coat it please
Straight talk, straight talk - sounds sweet enough to me
But don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive
Straight talk, straight talk - and we're gonna be alright
Straight talk, straight talk - makes plenty sense to me
Don't talk to me in circles, in your mumbo-jumbo jive
Gimme just straight talk, straight talk - and we're gonna be alright
Gimme just straight talk, straight talk - and we're gonna be alright

"Sugar Hill"

"Sugar Hill"


Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walkin'
Hand in hand while the south wind blowed
Bob whites callin', black crows cawkin',
Countin' the warts on a toad in the road
Down in the mill pond swimmin' naked
Showin' more than we should have showed
We were just kids explorin' nature
Learnin' more than we should have knowed

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealing sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cake and pie

A yellow dress drapin' off of my shoulder
Seein' myself in the lookin' glass
Older now and a little bit bolder
Thinkin' about our summers past
Up on Sugar Hill we'd go walkin'
Hand in hand up the mountainside
Teenage lovers plannin' and talkin'
Dreamin' of a future for you and I

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountain top
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

Years have past, we're married with children
Our days are happy and our memories fond
We still find it quite appealin'
To go to Sugar Hill and swim naked in the pond

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountaintop
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than ice cream and soda pop

Up on Sugar Hill there's a wealth of treasure
Down it's memory lane I go walking still
What it means to me is more than I can measure
Golden moments up on Sugar Hill

Up on Sugar Hill with the fireflies glowin'
Sound of katydids and the whipperwill
Honeysuckle bloomin' and a mountain stream flowin'
A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

Up On Sugar Hill with the bobwhite's callin'
Black crows cawkin', and the soft wind blows
Up on Sugar Hill there are love birds talkin'
Up on Sugar Hill where the good times roll

Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill memories
Stealin' sugar on the mountainside
Sug, Sug, Sug, Sugar Hill sugar
Sweeter than candy and cakes and pies

A little spot of heaven up on Sugar Hill

"Sure Thing"

"Sure Thing"


It's Saturday night and it's a perfect night for dancin'
I've had my makeup off and on all day
But it's gotta be right for a night of sweet romancing
And I've combed my hair at least a thousand ways
Mirror Mirror don't you tell a soul
Of how I smiled and talked all day to you
And how I practiced every step I know of
But tonight's the night and I'm a dancing fool

(It's a sure thing) when the sun goes down this evenin'
(It's a sure thing) to be out on the dancing floor
(It's a sure thing) I'll be the last one leavin'
(It's a sure thing) gonna dance till I can't no more

I could of had a date but I thought I'd take my chances
I'm gonna dance with a different guy to every song
Then I'm a gonna wait till the right one strikes my fancy
The he's gonna be the one to dance me home

(It's a sure thing) when the sun goes down this evenin'
(It's a sure thing) to be out on the dancing floor
(It's a sure thing) I'll be the last one leavin'
(It's a sure thing) gonna dance till I can't no more

(It's a sure thing) when the sun goes down this evenin'
(It's a sure thing) to be out on the dancing floor
(It's a sure thing) I'll be the last one leavin'
(It's a sure thing) gonna dance till I can't no more

"Sweet Agony"

"Sweet Agony"


Well I heard about it that kind of need that keeps
A person sleepless all that dreaming just the same
And I read about it I've just decide someone leaves
You breathless but I never felt that way now I feel

It would be

[Chorus:]
And it's agony, sweet agony I ain't for you I beg for
You to set me free from this agony, sweet agony oh what
If I take control so easily sweet agony, sweet agony,
Sweet agony

If you had it planned out to give yourself halfway and
Leave me wanting more right here on the brink well your
Time just ran out I've got to hide it all what are you
Waiting for I'm too afraid to think what this thing I'm
Not so sure I like it that expenses just killing me

[Repeat chorus]

I want the real thing tired of daydreams don't you
Tease me anymore you've got the real thing to keep
Me waiting I never felt like this before

[Repeat chorus to fade out]

"Sweet Music Man"

"Sweet Music Man"


Sing a song sweet music man
'Cause I won't be there to hold your hand like I used to
I'm through with you
You're a heck of a singer and powerful man
But you surround yourself with people
Who demand so little of you
You touched my soul with your beautiful song
You even had me singin' along right with you
You said I need you
Then you changed the words and added harmony
Then you sang the song you had written for me to someone new
Oh, but nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along
Nobody else can make me feel things are right
When I know they're wrong
Nobody sings a love song quite like you
Sing your song sweet music man
Travel the world with a six piece band
That does for you what you tell 'em to
And you try to stay young but the songs are sung
To so many people who've all begun came back on you
Sing your song sad music man
Makin' your living doing one-night stands
They're through with you
They don't need you
You're still a heck of a singer but a broken man
But you'll keep on lookin' for one last fan to sing to
Oh, and nobody sings a love song quite like you do
Oh, and nobody else can make me sing along
And nobody else can make me feel things are right
When they're wrong with a song
Nobody sings a love song quite like you
Sing your song sweet music man
I believe in you
