"Spare Some Love"

"Spare Some Love"


Don't want to be older than a rocking chair
When I find the love that I need
Don't want to be tired when it comes to lovin'
Want to be able to see who I'm kissin' and huggin'

I can only wait
For so long
Cause what good would I be to somebody
If I needin' help to get my shoes on?

Could someone spare some love for me?

I've got but one preoccupation
And one hell of an imagination
But what I find so damn frustratin'
Is that this is happenin' to me

I can only hang for so long
If I go another week
I might as just passed on

Could someone spare some love for me?
Can someone please spare me their heart?

There's got to be someone
Out there in this world for me

Can someone spare some love for me?
Can someone please spare me their heart?

I know that nobody's gonna want me
With a head full of gray hair
And a mouth full of false teeth

I'll gladly return the favor to you, darling
To spare me some lovin'
(And squeezin')
Spare me some kissin' and huggin'

Gotta be somebody somewhere
(Some lovin', kissin' and huggin')

I could use
(Kissin' and huggin')
Some kissin' and huggin'
(And squeezin')
(Some lovin')
(Kissin' and huggin')
Oh, I'mm
(Some lovin')
Feeling real blue, baby, baby
(Kissin' and huggin')
(Some lovin')
Who wouldn't mind to give me a good night kiss on my cheek
(Kissin' and huggin')
And put my head on my pillow
(And Squeezin')
(Some lovin')
Please spare me some love
Spare me some love

"Stay Go"

"Stay Go"


You never stay
You're on the go
Three times a day
Or maybe more

Where you run to
I just don't know
I turn around
You've got the Ford

Didn't put any gas in it
When you brought it back

You're out last night
The night before
And the night before that

Oh, you're starting to worry me
Can I have the car keys back?

In, out
In, out
In and out, just like a cat

Never, ever stay at home, babe
If you're here it's just to change clothes

This in and out is driving me crazy
Are you gonna stay or are you gonna go?

I'd love to have a date with you
Being my wife and everything

Tomorrow morning
When you get home
You're gonna find
There's something wrong

I sold the car
And hid the phone
So you and I can be home alone

Now maybe we can take a walk together or something
That'd be real nice

Stay, go
Stay, go
Stay, go
Stay, go

Stay, go
Stay, go

In, out
Stay, go

"Steppin' Out"

"Steppin' Out"


I'm so fed up
Girl, I've had enough
I'm steppin' out tonight

Girl, you're playin' around
Sure enough gonna get me down
I'm steppin' out tonight

Down to the end of my rope
And I've get to get lose
Get a lose before I choke

Ain't no use in you
Beggin' me not to go
I'm steppin' out tonight

Last night you left home
Said you was goin' to your momma's place
That's what I believed

But your mama said
She hadn't seen your face
Girl, you steppin' out on me

Trying to pull the wool over my eyes
But I've been knowin' you too long, baby
For you to try to lie

So don't look at me
So doggoned surprised
I'm steppin' out tonight

Girl, you've put my patience to the test
And I'm gettin' tired, baby
Tired of all your mess

So excuse me
Excuse me while I get dressed
I'm steppin' out tonight

Steppin' out tonight
Steppin' out tonight
Got to get lose
Steppin' out tonight
Hey
Got to get away, baby
Yeah, steppin' out tonight
Hey

"Still Around"

"Still Around"


Something happened this morning when I opened my eyes and looked around me
Something strange was in the air
But what it was I just could not pin it down
And then I heard the shower running and I knew what it was
You were still around
How many times must I tell ya'
I'm tired of you and everything you stand for
I thought we'd reached an agreement
I thought everything would be all right
Yeah

But when I woke up this morning
I knew everything was wrong
Everything was wrong
You were still around
Still around

Why can't you show some feeling?
Why can't you understand?
Messed up my whole life
Why wreck my day
Did my best to love you
Now do your best to leave
Can't you see that's what I want
I really need

Why can't you show some feeling?
Why can't you understand
Messed up my whole life
Why wreck my day
I did my best to love you
Now do your best to leave
Can't you see that's what I want
I really need
I really need

How many times must I tell ya'
I'm tired of you and everything you stand for
I thought we'd reached an agreement
I though everything would be all right
But when I woke up this morning
Everything was wrong
Everything was wrong
You were still around

"Survivor"

"Survivor"


Trouble all around me everywhere
There was a time when I didn't care
Life was a party
That's all we knew

Now I'm so glad
To be here today
Cause not everybody
Can stand up and say
That they're a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
You've got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
Oh, yeah, you've got to choose

Some learn
Some don't
Some live
You know that
Some won't
And time will tell
Turn around
Your life of hell
The good old days
Were such a waste of time

You take a little schoolboy
And teach him who to hate
Then you
Send him to the desert?
For the oil near Kuwait?
You try to change a world that
You don't understand

Now I'm so glad
To be here today
Cause from now
Until forever
And ever yeah
You be lucky if
You can stand up and say
That you're a survivor
Survivor
Survivor
You've got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
Oh, oh, oh
You've got to choose
If you wanna be a survivor
You've got to choose

Oh, yes,
I'm so glad to be here today
I'm so glad
To be a survivor
You'll have to turn around your life a hell
Can't change anything you don't understand
Hmmm, hmmmm
You oughta be glad

"T-Bone Shuffle"

"T-Bone Shuffle"


[Copeland vocals:]
Let your hair down, baby
Let's have a natural ball
Let your hair down, baby
Let's have a natural ball
If you don't let your hair down, woman
We can't have no fun at all

[Copeland solo]

[Collins vocals:]
Oh you can't take it with you
That's one thing for sure
Oh you can't take it with you
That's one thing for sure
There ain't nothin' in the world
That the T-Bone Shuffle won't cure

[Collins solo]

[Cray vocals:]
Run here, baby
Sit down on your daddy's knee
Run here, baby
Sit down on your daddy's knee
I've got something, pretty baby
Something's that's ailing me

"Tell The Landlord"

"Tell The Landlord"


I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna pack up and leave ya'
Nothin' can make me stay

You did me wrong
You so mean
I give up
Queen beat the king
Some rainy morning
Don't be surprised
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes

You'll look around
For my check
You'll freak out
Start to sweat
Oooh, some rainy morning
Don't be surprised
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes

Flowers on the table
I didn't buy
Champagne in the icebox
Store-bought fries
Ohh, some rainy morning
There'll be surprise
There'll be tears
In your eyes
In your eyes

I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
I'm gonna move on baby
Nothin' seems to go my way
And you can tell that landlord
I refuse to pay
Go on and tell him baby
Mmmmmmm
Go on and tell him babe
I refuse to pay

"That Ain't Love"

"That Ain't Love"


From out of the darkness
Beneath the lights
Right there
Off of main street

The mystery takes control of a man
And it drops them to their knees
Makes me question who I am

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

On a warm, warm summer night
I feel a chill shake right through me
From my head down to the ground

You have become my fantasy
When no one else is around!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love

You walk with a vengeance
And the clothes you wear
Are part of the spell that you cast

Like a watch on a chain
You hypnotize me

But I just, I just
Can't take a chance

I don't belong beneath the lights
Right there off of main street

Least now I know just who I am
It's not somewhere I want to be
When no one else is around

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

I've got to leave this place because
That ain't love, that ain't love!

That ain't love!
No, no, no!
That ain't love!
You're just a fantasy, baby!

That ain't love!
That ain't love!

What goes on down on main street
That ain't love!
That ain't love!

You're just a fantasy, baby!
That ain't love!

And you might not even be a woman!

No, no, no!
That ain't love!

Ewwwwwww!

"That Wasn't Me"

"That Wasn't Me"


Could I have done something wrong?
Someone broke your heart
I feel sorry for you
If it's the last thing that I do
I'll have to talk to that man
Yes I will

The pain
I see you suffering
And the shame
The news is all over town
Why he left
Is a mystery
Cause I wouldn't have done that
If that was me

That wasn't me
That was someone else
That wasn't me
No, no, that wasn't me
No it wasn't
At all

Could I have done something wrong?

Maybe I did
Maybe I didn't
You know when you went out on me the other night
Didn't come home to about five o'clock in the morning, I said to myself:
"I'm gonna get even with you."
So I went out, too
And even though you said nothin' went--went on, nothin' happened
I refused to believe it, I just, uh
I'll have to talk to that man
Yes I will

That wasn't me
That was someone else
Sure wasn't me
I wanna defend myself
That wasn't me
No, it wasn't
At all

Could I have done something wrong?

That wasn't me
Hey, that was someone else
Sure wasn't me
I wanna defend myself
That wasn't me
No, it wasn't
At all

Could I have done something wrong?

"That's What I'll Do"

"That's What I'll Do"


Used to be a time
When I didn't care
Oh, but now I'm changed, baby
I want to get some aware
And if that mean
I got to leave you
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do

You always pull me down
When I try to stay up
Oh, but that's not so fair, baby
So please shut up

And if this means
I got to leave you
That's what I'll do
That's what I'll do

You know it seems to me the things that you do
Are all a big part of some game
And you can bet if you keep on doing in, baby
You'll be the only one that's playin'

So answer one question
And please give it thought
Have I done you wrong, baby?
Oh, no no no, not a lot

And if that mean
Oh, if it mean that I got to leave you, baby
You can bet that's what I'll do

Oh that's what I'll do, baby
