MOVE OVER


You say that it?s over baby, Lord,
You say that it?s over now,
But still you hang around me, come on,
Won?t you move over.

You know that I need a man, honey Lord,
You know that I need a man,
But when I ask you to you just tell me
That maybe you can.

Please dontcha do it to me babe, no!
Please dontcha do it to me baby,
Either take this love I offer
Or honey let me be.

I ain?t quite a ready for walking, no no no no,
I ain?t quite a ready for walking,
And whatcha gonna do with your life,
Life all just dangling ?

Oh yeah, make up your mind, honey,
You?re playing with me, hey hey hey,
Make up your mind, darling,
You?re playing with me, come on now!
Now either be my loving man,
I said-a let me honey, let me be, yeah!

You say that it?s over, baby, no,
You say that it?s over now,
But still you hang around me, come on
Won?t you move over.

You know that I need a man, honey, I told you so.
You know that I need a man,
But when I ask you to you just tell me
That maybe you can.

Hey! Please dontcha do it to me, babe, no!
Please dontcha do it to me baby,
Either take this love I offer,
Honey let me be.

I said won?t you, won?t you let me be ?
Honey, you?re teasing me.
Yeah, you?re playing with my heart, dear,
I believe you?re toying with my affections, honey.

I can?t take it no more baby,
And furthermore, I don?t intend to.
I?m just tired of hanging from the end of a string, honey,
You expect me to fight like a goddamned mule.
Wah, wah, wah, wah, honey...

MR. NATURAL

MR. NATURAL


I wake up in the morning
And I look out at the sun
Then I think I'll get up, go out a while
And I get out on the run.
Then I say, "My boy, you got to slow down
And have yourself some fun."
So I lay around and I smoke a while
And I never get nothing done.

I don't care, my needs are few,
What in the world am I gonna do
With a million dollars from I don't know who
When in the world, will I get through
With living in such great expectations
With loving, some call it infatuation.

I go outside and I walk a while
Singing in the street.
I blow a kiss, I give a smile
To every one I meet.
I buy myself a beer or two
Just to leave my stone behind.
Sometimes I get so drunk
I can sing just like a child, yeah.
Ooh, ooh.

I get drunk and I laugh a lot,
There's something that I hear.
My brain gets loose, my soul gets hot,
The music hits my ears.
I hear the music...
Lord, it sounds so sweet!

Music's hot and I don't mind
If I dance a step or two.
I do a twitch, unwind my spine
I set my eyes on you.
I watch you move, you move so fine,
So fine I never knew
Making love while dancing
Is an easy thing to do.

Yes, it's easy It ain't hard!
Yes, yes it's easy It ain't hard!
Oh, oh, it's easy Oh no, no, no!

MY BABY

MY BABY


And when I work hard all day long
I tell you what, it don?t bother me nohow,
?Cause how could anything ever go wrong
When I got my baby, Lord, yes,
When I got my baby, oh Lord!

And when they tell me love is pain
I said it might be true for you, honey,
But not for Janis no more, no no no no.
All I?ve ever got to do is call my daddy?s name
Yeah and I got m-my baby, Lord, yeah,
Yes I got my baby, good good God,
Honey, I wanna tell you something that I do.

Deep down, h-honey, in the dark of the night,
When I lay my head down, I wanna go to sleep,
And I know everything is gonna be alright,
Yeah I got my baby, Lord yeah,
?Cause I got m-my baby, oh yeah.

And when I wanna call the names
Or the things to be that wanna be to you.
And when I wanna reach out my hand
It always seems you hold me, dear,
Love, don?t you know how long I looked for you
Daddy, daddy, daddy.
Love, don?t you know how hard I tried,
But now I got my baby, Lord, yeah,
Now I got my baby, yeah.

NO REASON FOR LIVIN'

NO REASON FOR LIVIN'


I ain't got no reason to livin', I can't find no cause to die
Lord, I ain't got no reason for livin', you give me no cause to die
Lord, I ain't got no reasons for stay here, give me no cause to try
I got these blues, I gotta find me that middle road

Well, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got mother to love me, ain't got no father to care
Lord, I ain't got no reasons to go on, give me no cause to stay here
I got these blues, I gotta finally know why

Well, I ain't got no reason for walkin', I guess I'm gonna fall or standstill
Lord, I ain't got no reason for walkin', guess I'm gonna fall or standstill
Lord I ain't got no reason for goin', give me no cause to stay here
I got these blues, Lord I gotta finally know why

NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT

NOBODY KNOWS YOU WHEN YOU'RE DOWN AND OUT


Well, once I lived the life of a millionaire, spending my money, no, I didn't care
Takin' my friend John out for a mighty good time
Buyin' high-priced liquor, champagne and wine

Then I began to fall so low, didn't have a friend, nor no place to go
If I get my hands on a dollar again
I'm goin' to hold on to it until the eagle grins

Soon as I get back up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's might strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out

Lord, soon as I get up on my feet again, everybody wants to be my long-lost friend
It's mighty strange, without a doubt
Nobody wants you when you're down and out
That's what I mean, when you're down and out

Baby baby baby love your daddy all night long
Baby, baby, love you all night long
Love you, I'm gonna kiss you, oh, my soul!

Now baby baby, well you drive me crazy

OH, SWEET MARY

OH, SWEET MARY


Yeah!

Oh, sweet Mary, child of confusion, she runs the hills to cry
Past the willows or an illusion, Lord, tell me the reason why.
Tell me why, why is it all so hard ?
Breathing in the air Breathe in the air
Anyone to care.
Oh!

(Alright, yeah!)

Oh, sweet Mary, in our story, have we nothing left to give ?
But don?t we all know, babe, if we?re pressed to, that that?s the way we live.
Tell me why, why is it all so hard ?
Breathing in the air Breathing in the air
Anyone to care, oh, yeah!

Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now,
Hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, hop now, whoa, yeah!

ONE GOOD MAN

ONE GOOD MAN


Honey, I love to go to parties
And I like to have a good time,
But if it gets too pale after a while
Honey and I start looking to find
One good man.
Hmm, don?t you know I?ve been searching,
Oh yes I have!
One good man,
Oh ain?t much, honey ain?t much,
It?s only everything, whoa.

An? I don?t want much outa life,
I never wanted a mansion in the South.
I just-a want to find someone sincere
Who?d treat me like he talks,
One good man.
Oh honey don?t you know that I?ve been looking.
Oh, one good man
Ain?t much, honey it ain?t much,
Oh, it?s only everything.
All right.

Some girls they want to collect their men,
They wear ?em like notches on a gun.
Oh honey, but I know better than that,
I know that a woman only needs one.
One good man, oh,
Oh baby don?t you know I?ve been looking, hmm.
One good man,

PIECE OF MY HEART

PIECE OF MY HEART


Oh, come on, come on, come on, come on!

Didn?t I make you feel like you were the only man ?yeah!
Didn?t I give you nearly everything that a woman possibly can ?
Honey, you know I did!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I think I?ve had enough,
But I?m gonna show you, baby, that a woman can be tough.

I want you to come on, come on, come on, come on and take it,
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it if it makes you feel good,
Oh, yes indeed.

You?re out on the streets looking good,
And baby deep down in your heart I guess you know that it ain?t right,
Never, never, never, never, never, never hear me when I cry at night,
Babe, I cry all the time!
And each time I tell myself that I, well I can?t stand the pain,
But when you hold me in your arms, I?ll sing it once again.

I?ll say come on, come on, come on, come on and take it!
Take it!
Take another little piece of my heart now, baby.
Oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling, yeah,
Oh, oh, have a!
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,
You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!
oh, oh, break it!
Break another little bit of my heart, now darling, yeah, c?mon now.

Have another little piece of my heart now, baby.

Oh, oh, have a

You know you got it, child, if it makes you feel good.
