"(I Love It When You) Call Me Names"

"(I Love It When You) Call Me Names"



I just wanna see you at night
Don't come round my house in the day
I love it when we start up a fight
And I love it when the fight ends your way

I love it when you call me names

I can't wait to see you again
I know you're gonna slap my face
you beat me up then beat me again
and over and over and over and over
And over and over

I love it when you call me names

Big woman
And a short short man
And he loves it
When she beats his brains out
He's pecked to death
But he loves the pain
And he loves it
When she calls him names

She's wearing heavy leather with lace
He dresses up in cowboy taste
They punish then they think up a crime
It's their way of loving not mine

I love it when you call me names

"A Woman In Love"

"A Woman In Love"



When the morning comes
Like shifting sands
In a desert storm
Like a raging fire
Heats up the big sky baby
Your love is pure and strong
Chained to your heart I surrender
Here's where I belong

And If I get emotional and I'm restless
You’re like a soothing ray of light
Bring to me to my senses in a heart beat darling
Hold me tender in the night

Tell me what miracles are made of
Like the sweet soft morning dew
How can I ever show you baby
How can I prove it all to you

That I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love

I get so mixed up and tongue tied
I can hardly say my name
Bring to me to my senses in a heart beat darling
Hold me tender in the night

Cos I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love

Never thought this would
Never thought this would
Never thought this would happen to me

Never thought this would
Never thought this would
Never thought this would happen to me

I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love
I'm a woman in love

"Alice"

"Alice"



Alice is acting very, very strange
Face almost perfect
But her mind's deranged
She's got a blissful smile
Though a sad exchange for life

Alice expecting a perfect day
Luminous daydreams
Homecoming strays

Alice in wonderland
Acting polite
Is it what she knows
Or what she invites

Alice responding to father's will
That refuses the lie
Swears she won't kill

Alice in wonderland
Wondering why
It's harder to live than it is to die
Alice in wonderland
Acting polite
Is it what she knows
Or what she invites

Alice responding to father's will
That refuses the lie
Swears she won't kill

"All A Woman Needs"

"All A Woman Needs"



Brings her flowers every day
And he phones her every night
Because she's his fancy
She's bound to love him too
And he's proved his feelings
He gives her all she needs
This boy can't understand

Though he holds her in his arms
He won't whisper words of love
He thinks it's all right
Love can come later

But woman
Love is all she needs
He will never get his way
With ease
He has to woo her properly
Or he'll never win her heart

Man likes to own
A woman shares
Man has his needs
A woman cares

Never means to make her cry
Oh he want this girl so bad
The boy can't understand
He thinks it's all right
Love can come later

But woman
Love is all she needs
He will never get his way
With ease
He has to woo her properly
Or he'll never win her heart

"All The King's Gardens"

"All The King's Gardens"



You're a highfaluting man
Mixing with dinner party freaks
And you're dating only ladies known as the circle elite
You put me down as part exchange
And left me there with all my dreams
Waiting at the gates of all the king's gardens

It does you good to know
You've got a pretty face
Your manners quite distinguished
As a gentleman's ought to be
You hurt this girl you left behind
You put me down as part exchange
Opened my eyes to all the king's gardens

Feel the pressure rising
Getting higher and higher
Come on home, crazy baby
Light my fire
I'll make you happy
Make you laugh
Think about the future
And not the past

You're a highfaluting man
Mixing with dinner party freaks
And you're dating only ladies known as the circle elite
You put me down as part exchange
And left me there with all my dreams
Waiting at the gates of all the king's gardens

Well you try to break me up
But I'll write it down as experience
Once bitten twice shy
But I'll make my comeback
You broke up but I still will try
I'll keep on trying until I
Open the gates to all the king's gardens

"All The Way From America"

"All The Way From America"



You called all the way from America
And said hang on to love girl
But the weeks and the months and the tears
Passed by
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
Of that promised love

All the way from America

You called all the way from America
And said I'll soon be home girl
But the years and the tears and the fears
Passed by
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Of that promised love

All the way from America
All the way from America

I stayed all alone and I waited 'round
For you to knock at my door
But the knock never came and no ring
At all
And now I sit and wonder why
You made that first call

All the way from America

I don't believe I'll stay here
I don't think I wanna wait here any more
And if you search for me baby
Better bring some more love than you declared

All the way from America

"Always"

"Always"



You never say
I love you
You have to add
Always

And if I cry
You wipe the tears away
You say you'll be here darling
Always

But always is a long long time
And time can change so much
I want to stay with you
Always

Oh the gifts that you bring
Darling you have given me
The joy of living
In every way

After all this time
Things haven't changed so much
I want to stay with you
Always
You still say I love you
Always

"Am I Blue For You"

"Am I Blue For You"



I haven't slept
On over eighteen hours
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Won't rest my head
Till that day
You are back by my side

Oh darling I remember
When we drank the wine
When we talked
When we talked
Made no sense at all

Oh darling
I have found out
Now this haze in gone
That I need your coolness
To keep me alive

Oh baby what am I to do
Get down on my knees
My body aches
And my eyes feel tired
Am I blue for you

Oh darling I remember
When the good feeling was there
How we laughed
How we laughed
Those times are on my mind

Oh darling
I have found out
Now this crazy feeling is gone
That I need your loving
It keeps me alive

I ain't had no love
In all this time
you are there on my mind
Oh baby
What am I to do
I shall soon be crying

Take the girls

Cos you want to survive
It's a hard world
With hard people
And it's nothing but heartache

With the Midas touch
