"Lion's Den"

"Lion's Den"


[Copeland on vocals throughout]

Well I like what I like and what I like I found it all in this girl
Well I like what I like and what I like I found it all in this girl
She have the quickness of a tractor y'all
She's my little devil girl

Well, I'm only happy when I'm sleepin' in that lion's den
Well, I'm only happy when I'm sleepin' in that lion's den
But she put that good thing on me
Keep me comin' back to get some more again

[Copeland solo]

Well she put that good thing on me
And I always want some mo'
Where this thing gonna end up
I don't know

Cause I'm only happy when I'm sleepin' in that lion's den
But she put that good thing on me
Keep me goin' back to get some more again

[Collins solo]

Yeahhhhhhhh, she got some good ole' lovin'

Man that ain't no lie
She don't let me in
I'm gonna cry

Cause I'm only happy when I'm sleepin' in that lion's den
But she put that good thing on me
Keep me goin' back to get some more again

"Little Birds"

"Little Birds"


I see a tear in your eye
You look troubled
There's a burning down inside that won't stop
She's says what she wants is her freedom
It's hard to let love just fly away

It's so hard to understand
You're seeing double
It didn't turn out like you planned
It just went on

You can't change the way the wind blows
It just goes where it wants to

Little birds do, too

Little birds do, too

She's got wings
She's gone away

She's got wings
And all you got is shoes

She used to beat your sweet little angel

All she wants is her freedom

You can't change the way the wind blows

Noooo

Noooo

Hey!

Mmmmmm

She wants space
What you gonna do?

Ohhhh

"Little Boy Big"

"Little Boy Big"


So it's all said and done
And you promised you wouldn't do it again

Now where are you going?
You've knocked on someone else's door
And you, jived and told some great big lies about it
Don't you think they know you?

Why, when something goes wrong
Do you walk away from love
Just like it was nothing?

You hide, and then you move on
You don't walk away from a good love
Nooo, little boy big

Now she begged and pleaded with 'ya
Tried and she tried and she tried everything that she could

Could you feel it?
You got one more go round this time, little fella
You better take hold to it if you can
You know you've got to

Can you feel it?

You hide, when something goes wrong
Even if it's just a little thing
That throws you off

Why can't you be strong?
You don't walk away from a good love
Noooo

Why, when something goes wrong
You turn your back on love
Just like it was nothing

You hide, and then you move on
You can't walk away from a good love
Noo, little boy big

No, no
La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Little boy big

With your hands in your pocket
You walk down the street singin'

La, la, la, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la
Oh, little boy
Little boy big

"Living Proof"

"Living Proof"


She has everything
And every one loves her
A warm smile and a friendly hug
Good looks
Good looks [?]

Everyone says it's a mistake
That she's made a goof
Any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof

I could be a cowboy
Sit out under western stars
I could be a guru
Go to India and seek the truth

Everyone says it's a mistake
That she's made a goof
But any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof

Any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof

Someday she'll leave me
That's what they say
But I just shake my head
Cause I know she's gonna stay

A room with a view and fresh-cut flowers
Something nice to eat
These things are important
Now when you find a girl you want to meet

It may be a mistake
Maybe I'm a goof
But any thing can happen cause she's here with me
For that I'm living proof

Any thing can happen, look she's here with me
For that I'm living proof

"Lotta Lovin'"

"Lotta Lovin'"


Won't you sit down
Talk to me
And tell me
What's on your mind
I'll lend a listening ear
Some sympathy
And a word or two
Of kindness

Won't you sit down
Talk to me
You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here

You need to know
That everything
That everything
Will be just fine
Come share your dreams with me
And I'll tell you all of mine

Won't you spend some time with me
And I'll pore you a glass of wine
You can feel secure
Here in my company
You'll find a whole lotta lovin' right here

[Moaning, some more get it on moaning]

Won't you spend
Some time with me
And I'll pore you a glass of wine
You can feel secure
Here in my company

Sit down
Oh, won't you sit down!

"Love 2009"

"Love 2009"


Wasting away my life, going through emotions
Everyday is the same, go out and play the game
All my life I've been searching for someone new
Not sure what to do, then I found you

Love comes and goes
Don't you agree?
This time it stays with you and me
Well, that's how it's gonna be, love

[?] before, can always walk out
Always ends the same, all my love's in vain
So I keep my head up and look the other way, yes
Never really knowing, no, no, if it can happen someday

You know that love comes and goes
Don't you agree?
This time it stays with you and me
Well, that's how it's gonna be

If you let me love you, baby
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah

Love comes and goes
Don't you agree?
But this time it stays with you and me
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, love

Don't you know that love comes and goes?
Don't you agree?
This time it stays with you and me
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, baby

If you let me love you, baby
Oh, oh, yes, yeah
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, love
Oh, that's how it's gonna be, be, yeah

I keep my head up, look the other way
Till I find, yes, till I find myself somebody to love
To love, to love, yeah, yeah, yeah
Till I find, I just gotta keep looking, man

Till I find, oh yeah
Till I find love, love, love 2009

"Love Gone To Waste"

"Love Gone To Waste"


One day we love
Next day we fight
You change your mind, girl
Like day and night

Like Jekyl and Hyde
You come and you go
Why you so mean, girl
I just don't know

You do it all the time
Keep a frown on your face
Like a fool left out all night, oh baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste

Don't make no sense
The way you do
Thought all the things, girl ??
I'd do for you

Why can't you be
Like you used to?
Do the same things, girl
You used to do

You throw the love away
And we don't get a taste
If you don't use, you lose, baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste

I'm gonna leave
If things don't change
Can't take no more, girl
You acting strange

Life's just too short
Love is hard to find
Don't be no fool, girl
Don't waste my time

There's too much at stake
To walk out in haste
Has love grown cold?
Oh, baby
Love gone to waste
Gone to waste

Has love gone to waste, baby?
Has it gone to waste?

Gone to waste

Gone to waste
Yeah
There's too much at stake, baby
Has it gone to waste?

Heeeeyyyyyyyyyyy, hey!
Gone to waste, yes

Too much at stake, baby!

"Love Sickness"

"Love Sickness"


Went to my doctor, my doctor said
It's a wonder you ain't dead
The sickness you got I can't cure
Getting over, it is up to you

You've been living in the twilight zone
Since your woman left you all alone

You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood

Listen, son, everybody knows
Since she left you ain't the same no more
Pull yourself together before it's too late
'Cause you headed for the judgment day

Walking around, it's a crying shame
You don't even know your mother's name

You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood

Let me give you some good advice
From a man who had eleven wives
When a woman don't want you no more
Best thing to do is let her go

Go and find yourself someone new
'Fore this thing gets a hold of you

You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood

You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood
You've got the love sickness in your blood

You've got the love sickness in your blood

And there's nothing that you can do

March on

Yeah you do

When your love one turns a back on you
You've spent years being the fool
Tried so hard, but you're tired and your wasted
You need a new love, you can almost taste it

You march on

Yeah, you, yeah, yeah
Find yourself a love, of your own
