"Slow Dancing"

"Slow Dancing"


It's late at night and we're all alone
With just the music of the radio
No one's comin', no one's gonna telephone
Just me and him and the lights down low

And we're slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

And we just float together when the lights are low
And the shadows dancing across the wall
The music's playing so soft and slow
And the rest of the world's so far away and small

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

Hold me, please hold me
Don't ever let me go

And as we dance together in the dark
There's so much love in this heart of mine
He whispers to me and I hold him tight
He's the one I thought I'd never find

Slow dancing, swaying to the music
Slow dancing, just me and my guy
Slow dancing, swaying to the music
No one else in the whole wide world
In the whole wide world

"Slow Down Jackson"

"Slow Down Jackson"


Hmmm...I love to see you when you aren't on the run
Looking long and lean and lazy lying in the sun
So, slow down Jackson, you don't have to fly anymore
Slow down Jackson, love must have left you at my door

Hmmm...You're a runner and you always will be
Maybe you can change your pacin' when you are runnin' with me
So, slow down Jackson, you don't have to fly anymore
Slow down Jackson, love must have left you at my door

Hmmm...You're like a rainbow stretched across the sun
Hmmm...My friend Jackson, warming everyone
So, slow down Jackson, you don't have to fly anymore
Slow down Jackson, love must have left you at my door

So, slow down Jackson, you were flying solo before
Slow down Jackson, love must have left you at my door

"Small Talk And Pride"

"Small Talk And Pride"


We never really had the chance to let each other know
We never really had the time to let our feelings show
Small talk kept us going
When the only words to say
Were how I long to hold you
Pride locked the words away

I never had the confidence to think that you could care
I never looked into your eyes to see if love was there
I talked it over with myself and silently agreed
Your heart was in a high place unreachable to me

I waited too long for a sign from you
Reached for a line that you never threw
Small talk and pride kept us from getting together
Now there's never a day you're not on my mind
Saying the words we could never find
Small talk and pride took you from my life forever

I'll never hold the cards again
To win a love so real
I know I'd gamble everything
But Mistress Fate won't deal
I just have to be content to learn by my mistakes
Our hearts were just a breath away
Now they're far enough to break

I waited too long for a sign from you
Reached for a line that you never threw
Small talk and pride kept us from getting together
Now there's never a day you're not on my mind
Saying the words we could never find
Small talk and pride took you from my life forever

"Smile For Me"

"Smile For Me"


Smile for me
Let me know that I will always be
The one and only one you'll always need
Baby, smile for me

Smile for me
Chase away the cloud that constantly
Is like a shadow hanging over me
Baby, smile for me

Smile your smile of total tenderness
Smile the smile that takes away the rain
Smile away my total emptiness
For I never wanna have to cry again

Smile for me
And I'll become the girl you want to see
No, there's nothing that I can't be
If you'll just smile for me

Smile your smile of total tenderness
Oh smile your smile
Smile the smile that takes away the rain
Smile away my total emptiness
No, I never, never wanna have to cry again

Smile for me
And I'll become the girl you want to see
No, there's nothing that I can't be
If you'll just smile for me
No, there's nothing, nothing that I can't be
If you'll just smile for me
Smile for me

"So Easy To Begin"

"So Easy To Begin"


Well I've been so far away from you
Though standin' by your side
And there were nights we were so in love
That lovin' made me blind
But that time is so far below us now
the memory so thin

It's so easy to begin
But it's so hard to stop this love
It's just so hard to stop
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in
It's so easy to begin

And I've at least saved some lessons from
A time I fell apart
And I know you've been wondering why
I look at you so hard
But I never want to wake up someday
And wonder where we've been

It's so easy to begin
But it's so hard to stop this love
It's just so hard to stop
When a heart that's lookin' for lovin' leads you in
It's so easy to begin

"Someday"

"Someday"


There's only one way to go when you're up too high
You've gotta come down; you've gotta come down
And there's only one way of saying the word goodbye
You've gotta come down; you've gotta come down

You've gotta be sure you're not throwing your life away
You know I can say you'll regret it someday

But someday, many tears and far away
There's gonna be something that's gonna make you want to stay
And if someday you should wake and want me near
I'll still be here

There's only one thing to do when you reach the end
You've gotta let go; you've gotta let go
And there's only one scene when it's all pretend
You've gotta let go; you've gotta let go

You've gotta be sure you're not throwing your life away
You know I can say you'll regret it someday

And you know that someday, when there's no one sleeping on your mind
You're gonna wake up and see tomorrow isn't hard to find
And if years don't heal the memories you feel
I'll still be here
Someday
And if someday you should wake and want me near
I'll still be here
Someday

"Something Better To Do"

"Something Better To Do"


I try to be patient - I try not to moan
But it's driving me crazy trying to live here alone
My conversation gets nowhere when I talk to myself
I've lost my sense of humor somewhere here on the shelf

The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until I'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do

A shoulder to cry on would make me feel fine
But it's not much comfort when I'm crying on mine
Friends and relations are running out of patience with me
I keep myself to myself but I'm no company

The moon is wasting its shine shining on me
Until I see you again
I won't be out in the moonlight
And I'll be sleeping by ten
The birds are wasting their song singing to me
Until I'm waking with you
Until you're back in my arms dear
The birds will have to find something better to do
Baby, till you're back in my arms
The birds will have to find something better to do

"Sordid Lives"

"Sordid Lives"


Now who's to judge who's a saint and who's a sinner
Lord, it's tough enough to trudge from brunch to dinner
We seek the light of truth between our white lies
We sleep away our youth under tattletale skies

Now who's to say who's a sinner and who's a saint
Who's to say who you can love and who you can't
Now it's easy for the pot to call the kettle black
They're just jealous of the hot and lusty sordid lives they led

Ain't it a bitch sortin' out our sordid lives
It's a bitch when you come to realize
got yourself a box of Cracker Jacks
then you get a really shitty prize
It's a bitch sortin' out our sordid lives

Now we struggled comin' down the chute to take our first breath
and we struggle for acceptance from birth to death
But the Lord's too busy tryin' to keep the world on it's feet
He ain't got time to give a damn about what goes on between the sheets

Ain't it a bitch sortin' out our sordid lives
It's a bitch when you come to realize
got yourself a box of Cracker Jacks
then you get a really shitty prize
It's a bitch sortin' out our sorry little sordid lives

"Sordid Lives (Reprise)"

"Sordid Lives (Reprise)"


When the Lord dips us in the gene pool
We get more than Granny's green eyes
We get our Mama's warmth
Our Daddy's cool
And that thang between our thighs
And that's the start of all these troubles
In our sordid lives

Ain't it a bitch sortin' out our sordid lives?
It's a bitch when you come to realize
Crack yourself a box of Cracker Jack
You could get a really shitty prize
It's a bitch sortin' out our sorry little sordid lives

"Soul Kiss"

"Soul Kiss"


Soul kiss
You left me dreaming
Now I wonder are things just what they seem
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Soul kiss
Some nights you get me wondering
Is this the way
This is a hunger
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Somewhere there is a fire burning
Somewhere inside
Somewhere there is a heart that's waiting
To take a ride
To take the ride to your soul kiss

So this is what it has to lead to
Take my hand and make me need tp
I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Soul kiss
You left me hoping
Now I wonder is the door still open
Well, I get down on my knees (and beg you, baby)
Get down on my knees

Somewhere there is a fire burning
Somewhere inside
Somewhere there is a heart that's waiting
To take a ride
To take the ride to your soul kiss
