Song: GOTTA FIND ME A BETTER DAY

I been gettin' lonely, too much these days.
I been gettin' lonely, I guess I better get away.
But where can I go that's real? Life's a stage on a ferris wheel.
And the actors are all fighting just to see who gets the lead in the play.

Oh, no, no.
I gotta' find me a better day.

Talk about down, I feel so lonely.
Talk about down, I'm startin to worry.
Don't really want to be all alone. I can't get along with the chicks at home.
The world just don't seem right, my head is spinnin', and I hate what's goin' down.

You gotta' find me a better day.

Oh, gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
You gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
You gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find, gotta' find,
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find, gotta' find,
Gotta' find,
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.
Gotta' find me a better day.

Song: HOOKED ON LOVE

Well, did you ever have something, you want the whole wide world to know about?
It's that something I must tell you, that you just can't live without.
Ten times your fingers, and double your toes,
That's how much I love you and how much it shows.

You know that I am ... hooked on love.
I'll tell you what I am ... hooked on love.
Believe me when I say it ... hooked on love.
Hooked on love, ohhhh ...

My brothers and sisters, hear what I say.
I'm gonna' love you, to my dying day.
When I tell you that I love you, well, at least I tried.
I want you to believe me, this ain't no lie.

You know that I am ... hooked on love.
I'll tell you what I am ... hooked on love.
Believe me when I say it ... hooked on love.
Hooked on love, ohhhh ...

Satisfy my need in life, now, let me hear you say.
You'll be lovin' me alright, until your dyin' day.
Just say it a little bit louder now, I'm startin' to get in your groove, yeah.
You've got nothing to worry about, your love is on the move.
I hope some day the light of love shines bright upon your face.
I don't care who you are, I love the human race.

Satisfy my need in life, now, let me hear you say.
You'll be lovin' me alright, until your dyin' day.
Just say it a little bit louder now, I'm startin' to get in your groove, yeah
You've got nothing to worry about, your love is on the move.
I hope some day the light of love shines bright upon your face.
I don't care who you are, I love the human race.

Song: I DON'T HAVE TO SING THE BLUES

I've got this good lookin' woman back home, let me tell ya'
She cooks good and she looks good, and she just can't do no wrong.
She cooks me cornbread in the morning, she's my dinner and my midnight snack.
She sits up and she begs, and she even rolls over on her back.

Please don't tell me that's the way that it goes, 'cause I've tried hard and I know.
I ain't been playin' in your back yard, 'cause I got my baby and she loves me so.

She don't treat me mean, and she loves my machine, yeah.
I digs her 'cause she's funky, and she sure keeps it clean, now.
I'm a loafer, she's my chauffeur, and she sure likes to drive me, uh-huh.
I lay my life on the line, and she steps right up besides me, yeah.

Please don't tell me that's the way that it goes, 'cause I've tried hard and I know.
I ain't been playin' in your back yard, 'cause I got my baby and she loves me so.

I don't have to sing the blues no more.
A girl like mine is hard to find for sure.
She lays it on me each and every night.
She's my pleasure and my world's delight.

I don't have to sing the blues no more.
A girl like mine is hard to find for sure.
She lays it on me each and every night.
She's my pleasure and my world's delight.​

Song: I FELL FOR YOUR LOVE

Hey Baby so now you're goin', is your mind relieved?
Did you get what you wanted and have some fun playin' make believe?
I have never lost so much pleasure, so it's hard to be nice.
Hey Baby feel my hand, ain't it cold as ice?

'Cause I fell for your love, when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love, and now you tell me it's time.
To kiss it away, to stand here and say, good-bye.

Can't you understand the way I live?
Half a love is all that I can give.
Lonely ladies and empty faces for a long long time.
And you might be one baby when we meet again and I'll still try to make you mine.

'Cause I fell for your love, when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love, and now you tell me it's time.
To kiss it away, to stand here and say, good-bye.

I fell for your love when I was out of my mind.
I fell for your love when love was so hard to find.
I gave you my heart and now you tell me it's time,
To give up my love when it's so damn hard to find.

Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
I'm so lonely baby.
Love is so hard to find.
Them empty faces, all I wanted was you.
Love is so hard to find.

I gave you my heart and now you tell me it's time,
Love is so hard to find.
To stand and say good-bye.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
When it's so damn hard to find.
Love is so hard to find.
I fell for your love when I was out of my mind.

Song: I JUST GOTTA KNOW

Hey, people are you ready to get in the streets,
To be your own police?
Are you ready to start tonight,
To stand up and fight for your rights?

Woah ... oh, I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.

Young people would you do the patriotic thing?
Are you ready to stand up and sing,
That you're tired of the war and all that shit?
Oh, tell me, are you ready to do your bit?

Woah ... oh, I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.

You gotta' take a stand,
Give your brother a helping hand.
We got to start today,
So tomorrow our kids can play.
We better do what's right,
So we don't have to fight,
No more.

'Bout the only way I see that we can change the plan,
Is to vote and get our man.
The man whose not afraid,
And one whose not over-paid.

Woah ... oh, I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.
I gotta' know.

You gotta' take a stand,
Give your brother a helping hand.
We got to start today,
So tomorrow our kids can play.
We better do what's right,
So we don't have to fight,
No more.​

Song: JUST COULDN'T WAIT

I miss her face, but the girl left seven years ago.
Guess I never should've let her go.
That's how I feel because I love her so.
But I'm afraid that she will never know.

She just couldn't wait, she said she couldn't wait 'til "some day."
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til "some day," 'til "some day."

Oh, tell me now, where do the broken-hearted go from here.
You missed her love and now you're steering clear.
I ain't afraid of nothin' but my fear.
The fear that she might see this rollin' tear.

She just couldn't wait, she said she couldn't wait 'til Sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.

Oh she couldn't wait 'til Sunday no, 'til Sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til Sunday.
She just couldn't wait, my baby just couldn't wait, no.
She said she just couldn't wait.
You know she just couldn't wait, no.
She said she couldn't wait 'til Sunday, 'til Sunday.
Oh, Oh...​

Song: LITTLE JOHNNY HOOKER

Oh, I'm gonna tell you a story 'bout a little boy.
Oh, a sad little boy.
I'm talkin' 'bout Little Johnny Hooker.

Little Johnny Hooker was a sissy on the street all his life
All his natural born life.
Until his daddy took him aside and said,
'Son, now here's your switchblade knife boy'.

He said 'get out in the street boy,
Cut yourself some meat boy.
Get out on your own side of the road,
And lighten my load'.

Johnny made a mistake and took his knife down to school one day.
Hey, yeah, yeah.
And, when the bell rang for lunch.
Freddie Miller went and got in Johnny's way boy.
He took his knife from his pocket, pushed a button on the side.
When he seen the queen steel,
You ought to seen the light in Freddy's eyes.

Oh, Yeah ...

Little Johnny Hooker learned his lesson from the knife now you see,
(Yes he did.)
Because for what he done to Fred he spent some time in a penitentiary.
It was a day in the courtroom, Exhibit letter 'A'.
When the jury seen the knife they put little Johnny's ass away.

Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Oh, Little Johnny boy.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Oh, Little Johnny boy.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
He was a young boy,
He's thinkin' the rest of his life,
For what he done with the knife.
Talkin' 'bout Jooohhhnnny.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Jooohhhnnny.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Little Johnny Hooker, he ain't a bad looker, he ain't a bad man, he ain't.
Jooohhhnnny.

Song: LOOK AT GRANNY RUN RUN

Look at Granny run, run, and Grandpa runnin' close behind.
Look at Granny run, run, there's something on Grand-daddy's mind.
He went to the doctor, got a brand new pill.
The doctor said, 'Son, you ain't over the hill.'
Now he can't sit still.
Great, gosh, almighty, Won't you ...

Look at Granny go, go, faster than a Greyhound bus.
Look at Granny go, go, now Grandpa gettin' serious.
But he woke up in the middle of the night.
Said, 'Lookie here baby, everything's alright.'
It was such a fright.
Great, gosh, almighty, Won't you ...

Look at Granny run, run ...

Look at Granny run, run, and Grandpa gettin' closer now.
No matter how she run, run, he gonna' catch her anyhow.
He said, 'Mama, quit your caryin' on.
All I want's a little love before I am gone.
Ain't nothin' wrong.'
Great, gosh, almighty, Won't you ...

Look at Granny run, run.
Look at Granny run, run.
Yeah ...
Look at Granny run, run.
Yeah ...
Look at Granny run, run.
Yeah ...
Look at Granny run, run.
Yeah ...
Look at Granny run, run.

Song: LOVE IS DYIN'

You say that this is the end,
And I feel the knife cut off my right hand.
You may not care right now,
But if it's over, it's done and I won't turn around.

Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.

You oughta know me better than that,
I really love you if that's where it's at.
I really love you but I won't be back,
Oh how I love you, I love you but I won't be back.

A dreamer of dreamers I have always been,
And this time there won't be no givin' in.
Chances are we could change our minds,
But I don't think I can make it another time.

Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.

You oughta know me better than that,
I really love you if that's where it's at.
I really love you but I won't be back,
Oh how I love you, I love you but I won't be back.

Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.

I really love you if that's where it's at.
I really love you but I won't be back,

Love is dyin'.
There ain't no use in cryin'.​

I'm sitting here sad and lonely.
Thinkin' 'bout my one and only.

Feelin' sorry for myself 'cause I just don't know what it's all about.
