"Moan"

"Moan"


I Gotta moan
I don't feel so good this morning
Ohhh
My baby's been gone a long time

Why did you have to go?
Why did you have to leave?
Ewww
Can't stand being alone

I All I do is cry
And moan

I remember when you used to love me in the morning
Ohh, you used to
Bring my coffee to my bed

I remember when you used to squeeze me
And rub my little achin' head
Squeeze me tight [?]

All I do
Is cry
And moan

I remember the good ole days
I never dreamed that there was a price to pay
Tried, tried, ohhh [?]

If I had just one more day
Maybe there's a chance that I could have made her stay
But now you're gone, and ohhhh

I remember the good ole days
I never dreamed that there was a price to pay
Tried, tried, sooo [?]

If I had just one more day
Maybe there's a chance that I could have made her stay
But, oh, now you're gone, and ohhhh

All I do is weep and moan
Hey!

I don't feel so good this morning
Why did you have to go away?
Why did you have to leave?
Ewww, can't stand being alone

I All I do is cry
And moan

Hey, I
All I do is cry
And moan

Hey, I
All I do is cry
And moan

I remember when
Oh

I remember when
Hey
I don't feel so good this morning

Ewwwwwwww!!

"More Than I Can Stand"

"More Than I Can Stand"


Hey baby, wait a minute
Don't start leaving tracks now
I know there's really nothing left in it, woman
And before you go, gimme my love back
Cause that's more than I can stand
Much more than I can stand
It's so plain, but hard to admit
That it's over

I want a lover, you're a teaser
You're so unpredictable baby, and

You turn cold whenever I squeeze ya'
Do I have to let you go, baby?

That's more than I can stand
Much more than I can stand
It's so plain, but hard to admit
That it's over
Ohhh, I lost one I thought was wonderful
But the strange thing about it:
Is I can't believe that this is happening to me

It don't make no sense to try to plead with ya'
I know what your answer's gonna be, babe
I just thought maybe you'd reconsider
Before you head on out that door, baby

That's more than I can stand
Much more than I can stand

So plain, but hard to admit
That it's over

Please baby, wait one minute
If you walk out, I'll know it's true

But it would only set my mind at ease
Cause I 'm doing time worrying about you

That's more than I can stand
Much more than I can stand
Please don't tell me that it's over
Please don't leave YOUNG BOB alone
I can't believe it's happening to me
I'm doing time worrying about you, baby

That's more than I can stand, yeah
That's more than I can stand, baby

"Move A Mountain"

"Move A Mountain"


Oh, beautiful love
You don't bother me
I don't need your time, your company

And now that it's over
And I'm strong enough to see
You used to move the mountains, baby
But now you just don't move me

People say when you're lonely
You're after the first one you see
I remember a long time ago
That used to be me

I'm glad that it's over
And I'm strong enough to see
You used to move the mountains, baby
But now you just don't move me

You know that love
Can be such a sweet thing
That we all get messed up with sometime

People lose a lot of sleep over a simple way to solve their problem
But I'm not worried
Cause I've solved mine

Oh, beautiful love
Now that I'm finally free
I won't be around for you to hurt me

I'm so glad that it's all over
And I'm strong enough to see
You used to move the mountains, baby
But now you just don't move me

No you won't hurt me
No

"My Last Regret"

"My Last Regret"


One last time,
And I'll be free
One last time
You'll have your hooks in me

Cause I'm about to lose it
My force of habit

I want to see you burn
All the way down
I want to see your ashes
All over the ground

Then I will know
That I can't forget about
My last regret

The price is too high
For what your giving,
So I'll stop being the fool
And go on living

One is not enough,
Two is too much,
Too much for me

I want to see you burn
All the way down
I want to see your ashes
All over the ground

Then I will know
That I can't forget about
My last regret

No more suffering,
No more sorrow.
Live for today,
I'll be here tomorrow

I want to see you burn
All the way down
I want to see your ashes
All over the ground

Then I will know
That I can't forget about
My last regret,
My regret,
My regret.

No more suffering,
No more sorrow.
Live for today,
I'll be here tomorrow

My regret,
My regret!

My regret...

"My Problem"

"My Problem"


It's my own problem
That I have to face
Right here all by myself

It's my fault, yes it is
I'm so ashamed
Can't blame it on no one else

She was once my
Everything
I sit here alone
Wondering

Just where did I go wrong?
I've got a problem
She used to love me
But, oh, I really, really misused that girl
I did

I took all the love that I wanted
All I thought I needed
To satisfy my selfish world, yes I did

And she never asked for
Anything
And all the time
She was suffering

And right now
I've got a problem

What was I doing?
I never noticed all the tears
The signs and the warnings
How could I have been so blind all those years

I missed all the signals
That she tried real hard to show
I got so hung up on myself, man
I didn't even want to know

Oh, yeah, and that's my problem

A no good-bye
Am I even worth one more chance?
I don't think so

And there's no use
No use to even try
I'll just have to make some other plans
Yes I will

Cause I just lost my
Everything
I sit all alone
Wondering
Just where did I go wrong?
Oh, yeah
That's my problem

"Never Mattered Much"

"Never Mattered Much"


Like a stone
You can't hurt me

Like that old oaktree
I'm as strong as I could be

Like a clock that moves
But goes nowhere

I know just when it's time for me to leave

So this love affair is all over
And it's all right with me

It's hard to make
Nothing go anywhere

It's never really mattered much to me
Meeeeee
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeeee, meeeeeee

So this love affair is all over
And it's all right with me

You just can't make
Nothing go anywhere

I've made up my mind
It's time for me to leave

It's never really mattered much to me
Meeee
It's never really mattered much to me
Meeee, meeeeee

"New Blood"

"New Blood"


Got a real bad case of restless
As I pace around my room
The old urge has started stirring
Must be the power of the moon

Been feeling, oh, so nervous
Since my loving's turned to mud
And I hear that night wind howlin'
It's time to find new blood
New blood

It's been a year, three days ago
Not a letter or a call
This room has been my prison cell
I know every crack, on every wall

My locked-up desires boiling
Tensions rising to a flood
Now the streets are calling me, people

I've got to find new blood
New blood

There's a woman out there somewhere
A woman starved for love
A member, just like I am
Of the "Lost your lover's club"

And now she can't control it
And the fever starts to burn
I know we're bound to come together
Cause she's lookin' for new blood
New blood

Ohhhhhhh!
People
Don't you hear me howl?
Cryin
I'm lookin' for new blood
New blood
Ohhhhhhh!
Ohhhhhh!

"Nice As A Fool Can Be"

"Nice As A Fool Can Be"


You take my money and leave
Trying to leave me all alone
That don't bother me so much
But you left your poor baby child alone
But I'm nice

Nice as a fool can be
But if I ever get my hands on you, baby
They'll have the judge do something nice for me

You come home in the morning
After running the streets all night long
Now how in the world can you expect me to be nice
When all the time you're gone?

But still I'm nice
I'm nice as a fool can be
But if I ever get my hands on you, baby
They'll have the judge do something nice for me

You told me that you loved me
You'd always be my pet
But soon as I take my eyes off you, baby
Look what I get

But still I'm nice
I'm nice as a fool can be
But if I ever get my hands on you, baby
They'll have the judge do something nice for me

I'm nice
So nice
I'm nice, yes I am
So nice
You're leaving me all alone
You left your little child at home
Oh, but I still love you, I love you baby
I feel nice, too nice, yes I am
Nice, oh yeah
I'm a nice, mellow person
I'm nice

"Night Patrol"

"Night Patrol"


See him cuddled in the shadows
Sleepin' on his cardboard bed
Using rags for a pillow
Where he lays his unwashed head
His blanket's old newspaper
Not much good against the snow
See so many like him out there
When you walk the night patrol
When you walk the night patrol

Oh, you wonder where he came from
Where he's gonna go
Was it a woman or a bottle?
That's brought him down so low
What's happened to his family?
Do they know he's out here in the cold?
He's just a nameless soldier
Marching on the night patrol
Marching on the night patrol

Like that girl on the corner
She can't be more than seventeen
She's run away from somewhere
Taking nothing but her dreams
Now those dreams are lying shattered
As the street exacts its toll
And she's just another victim
Lost out on the night patrol

Oh, you could ask me why I'm out here
Where do I fit into the scene?
Now I'm drawing unemployment
Got replaced by a machine
And I'm tortured by my bad habits
Sometimes, I lose this struggle to control
And the street has its attractions
When you walk the night patrol
When you walk the night patrol

"No Big Deal"

"No Big Deal"


Everybody likes those folding bills
And you might need those little white pills
Fast little cars give some people chills
But I need my baby to get my thrills
Yeah, I need my baby to get my thrills

Ohh, I'm just wild about Mexican food
Ohh, and you might think you're a real bad dude
You might need a drink to come unglued
But I've got to have my baby when I'm in the mood
Oh, I've got to have my baby when I'm in the mood

And Lizzy likes to hear the saxophone
Terri likes the guitar tone
Shawny, she wants a dancing song, yeah
But I'd rather hear my baby when she moans
Ohh, I'd rather hear my baby when she moans

Now I know you know just how I feel
Going in circles don't make your will
If I lose my baby or miss a meal
I'll get me another, ain't no big deal
I said I'll get me another, ain't no big deal

No big deal
Ain't no big deal

Owwwwww!
(Some very strange noises by Young Bob!)
