"Does It Really Matter"

"Does It Really Matter"


You know it doesn't
Really matter
That I always seem
To forget

Where I put my keys,
My hat, and my coat

Searching for your sunglasses
And you lost the remote

Did you forget the heat?
Cause I'm gettin' chills

Are the lights really going out?
Did we forget to pay the bills?

Why?
Does it really matter?

Cause when the lights go out
It only gets better

When you hold me tight
And tell me it's all right
Then the rest doesn't really matter

I guess it doesn't
Really matter
That we ain't been ridin' high
And keeping up with the Jones
Never been to Paris
I don't care if we go, no
We'll get around the world
Right here at home

Now the car won't start
And the paint is peeling
So the dishes are stackin' up
They can wait, I've got that feelin'!

Why?
Does it really matter?
We can dim the lights
And put on Clyde McPhatter

Now baby, hold me tight
Tell me it's all right
Then the rest doesn't really matter

Why?
Does it really matter?

Cause when the lights go out
It only gets better

Now baby, hold me tight
And tell me it's all right
Then the rest doesn't really...

Why?
Does it really matter?

Cause when the lights go out
It only gets better

Why?
Does it really matter?

Why?
Does it really matter, baby?

Why?

"Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark"

"Don't Be Afraid Of The Dark"


Dead of the night baby
We're finally alone
I'll pull up the shades
If you'll unplug the phone

Put on some music
Marvin Gaye's real nice
Once we get settled
I'll turn off the lights

Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark

It might be scary
Til your eyes adjust
Don't fear the shadows
Me you can trust

I'm at my best
In a pitch black room
Hold on tight baby
You'll feel the power soon

Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark

You might tremble
You might shake
Scream out loud
You may even pray

I know which moves
Suit you right
You'll beg for more
You'll forget about the night

Don't be afraid of the dark
Baby, no, no
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark
Don't be afraid of the dark
Baby, no, no
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark
Hey, baby, no, no, no
I'll be there to hold you
Don't be afraid of the dark

"Don't Break This Ring"

"Don't Break This Ring"


I never knew
This pain
No, no

I never knew
That you wanted
You wanted to go
Away

Cause away means forever

Just try to hold on
Let's stay together

No, darling don't break this ring
Oh, no, say you don't mean it
Cause I want
I want you to stay

No, no
Don't go
Two wrongs don't make it right
So we had a disagreement
Late last night

But away means forever
Stick around
I know we can make it better

And no
Darling don't break this ring
Don't leave
Say you don't mean it

Cause I want
I want
I want you to stay

Please don't leave me, darling

Cause away means forever
Hey, hold on
I know we can make it better

And no
Darling don't break this ring
Don't leave
Say you don't mean it

Cause I want
I want
I want you to stay

And away means forever
Take your shoes off, baby
Take off your sweater

And no
Darling don't break this ring
Don't leave
Say you don't mean it

Cause I want
I want
I want you to stay

I want you to stay
Haaaa, ohh, ohh

I want you to stay

I won't be able to sleep at night

Don't leave

"Don't Steal My Love"

"Don't Steal My Love"


Don't steal my love like a thief in the night
Don't lure me in the dark searching for your light
If you take from me, give something in return
Don't be so cold, baby, while my fire burns

Touch me like the wind, slip right through my hands
Don't take my seeds from me and leave me like some mellow land
If you take from me, give something in return
Don't be so cold, baby, while my fire burns

Don't steal my love
Don't steal my love
Don't steal my love
Don't steal it

When my night is over and the morning's on my face
Go from me softly, leave without a trace

Don't take my heart with you
Don't take my heart with you
Don't take my soul with you

Don't steal my love
Don't steal my love
Don't steal my love
Don't steal it

"Don't Touch Me"

"Don't Touch Me"


Don't touch me, baby
No
Just leave me alone
Because the way you treat me, baby
You know that's wrong

I'm leavin' you, baby
Gonna hit that highway
Back home

When I took you off the streets
And gave you everything that I had
When I ask you for some love, baby
You haul off and get mad

I'm gone, baby
Hey, baby
Gonna hit that highway
Back home

Now check this out
You don't appreciate
Not one thing that I do
And you're always talking about
How you and I are through
You take all my money
And you take it with so much pride
Baby, you
Darling I know that you're never satisfied

I'm leavin' you baby
And there's no need to cry, no
I'm gonna grab my coat and put on my hat
And wave you bye-bye

I'm gone, baby
Hey, baby
Gonna hit that highway
Back home

Well, I'm leavin' you, baby
Oh, there's no need to cry
When I grab my coat and put on my hat
It's just to say bye-bye

I'm gone, baby
Hey, baby
Gonna hit that highway
Back home

"Don't You Even Care"

"Don't You Even Care"


You walk the streets
All the night long
And you know
Know that's wrong
What's a matter, baby?
Don't you even care?

You drink
And you smoke
And you're out there high
Skied up on that coke
Hey, baby
Don't you even care?

You took my credit cards
Driving around in my car, too
You checked into some hotel room, now baby
What are you out there trying to prove?

Please bring it home
Don't leave this young man,
Don't you leave him all alone
Baby, you wrong
Don't you even care?

Mmmm
Baby, you took all my credit cards
Driving around in my car, too
You checked into the Motel 6, baby
What are you out there trying to prove?

Please, bring it home
Don't leave this young man
Don't you leave him all alone
Baby, you wrong
Don't you even care?

Baby, you know that's wrong
Don't you even care?

Baby, you know that's wrong
Don't you even care?

Baby, you wrong
Don't you even care?

Baby, you wrong
I want my money back

"Enough For Me"

"Enough For Me"


You always what serious for granted, uh huh
You think that everything's cool and you think I'm satisfied, no no

You didn't think that it was necessary, uh huh
To call me a baby and tell me don't worry, no no

I wanna know what you intend to do
When you wake up one day with no one next to you

All on your own
No one else home
All on your own
Cause I know when it's enough
And babe, I've had enough

I'm trying to keep you, why I don't know
Cause you won't have a thing to do with this man, no no

I'm back in the corner watching you dance
Hey, feels so bad
Baby so long

Nothing else matters when you're alone always
Time to move along
Cause I know when it's enough
And baby, that's enough for me

Ohh, you never seem to be in any hurry, oh no
I'm beggin' you baby, won't you please have mercy?

I don't believe that you hear what I'm sayin'
You think I'm acting a fool, you think that I'm playin', no

I wanna know what you intend to do
When you wake up one day with no one next to you

You're all on your own
No one else home
You're all on your own
Hey, what 'ya gonna do about it?

You're all on your own
Cause I know when it's enough, and baby that's enough for me

"Fadin' Away"

"Fadin' Away"


You find you can't
Get away from your trouble
Hang on
It will soon fade away

Nothin' stays the same
Just like night turns to day
Hang on
Cause it's fadin' away

I feel the gloom and despair
Everything is turned around
And sometimes it just isn't fair
You get kicked when you're down

Remember, the good times always follow the bad
Pretty soon
It will all fade away

Cause you can't go back
To what you never had
Hang on
Cause it's fadin' away, fadin' away

If this lonely world seems so damn cold
And you find yourself
Losin' control
Hang on
Hang on

Oh, when you're feelin' sad
That you've been misled
Hang on
They'll soon fade away

Ain't it a shame?
No one takes the blame?
Hang on
Cause they're fadin' away, fadin' away
They're fadin' away

Ain't it a shame?

Hey!

Fadin' away, fadin' away

Nothing stays the same
No!

Fadin' away, fadin' away

Like night turns to day

Hey!

Faded away, faded away
Faded away

Nothing stays the same

Hey!!!

Fadin' away

"False Accusations"

"False Accusations"


False accusations
Led to a fight
I was so wrong
She's gone tonight

I was so wrong
I can see it now

Jealously had twisted me somehow

Yes it did, and I know it did

False accusations
I can't take back
My mouth was moving
Ohh, but you know that my mind was off track

I was so wrong
She's gone now

Jealously had twisted me somehow
Yes it did

Jealousy, jealousy
It's got me so mad
Red is all I see

I heard one rumor, let my anger fly
But she had an air-tight allabi

Jealousy, jealousy
It's got me so mad
Red is all I see

I heard one rumor, let my anger fly
But she had an air-tight allabi

Hey, hey, hey

False accusations
Made her so mad
She packed the few
Good things we had

I was so wrong, yeah, yeah
I can see it now

Jealously had twisted me somehow
Yes it did, and I know it did

You know that I made
False accusations

False
Accusations

"Fantasized"

"Fantasized"


I heard her soft hand knock in the dead of night
I hear her whisper, "BABY, let me in!"
I sat up in my bed
"She's hear!" my heart cried
Just like I fantasized
Just like I fantasized
Just like I fantasized

I opened up my door and smelled her sweet perfume
Opened up my arms and smelled her satin skin
She said, "I'm yours tonight!"
A fire glowed in her eyes
Just like I fantasized
Just like I fantasized
Just like I fantasized

She waits on tables at my favorite cafe
I tease and tempt her with games we can play
This evening with dinner she served me a smile
She said, "I'll be back when I get off tonight!"

She had sugar-sweet lips and magical hips
Just like I fantasized
What a slow ride, she moaned and she cried
Just like I fantasized

I've dreamed of her at least a thousand times
Loved her a thousand ways all in my mind
And now I feel
The dream is by my side
Just like I fantasized
Just like I fantasized
Just like I fantasized
