"Through It All There's You"




You know the future will soon be past
Climb on first, get off last

Where I'll feel the benefit

Loving me girl

"Too Good To Be True"

"Too Good To Be True"



She knows what to say, she knows what to do
Every move she makes, she makes just for you
She knows just how to change your mind
You think you've pinned her down
She's got you undersigned

She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She knows when to leave, she knows when to stay
When she takes her turn, she knows how to play
There's more, you haven't seen it all
You're going to have to learn to keep up with her

She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you

She knows just how to change your mind
You think you've pinned her down
She's got you undersigned
She's too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
Too good to be true
They broke the mould, when they made you
She's too good to be true
Give credit where it's due

"Top 40"

"Top 40"



When I make my Top 40
Smash hit
Rock ‘n’ roll record
Everything is gonna be just fine
When I make my Top 40
Smash hit
Rock ‘n’ roll disc
I’ll be the record company’s valentine
No more philosophic melancholia
Eight hundred pounds of electric genitalia
When I make my Top 40
Smash hit
Rock ‘n’ roll record
Everything’s gonna be just fine

When I make my fuzz tone
Wah-wah
Synthesized record
Everything is gonna be just grand
When I make my fuzz tone
Wah-wah
Synthesized disc
I’ll have to get myself a moving van
Costume, hairdo, made up cute
A personal connection in a business suit
When I make my fuzz tone
Wah-wah
Synthesized record
Everything is gonna be just grand

When I make my dynamite
Heavy soul
Freaked out record
Everything is gonna be just swell
When I make my dynamite
Heavy soul
Freaked out disc
I’ll be living it up pell mell
Mountain top hide away
Three-car garage
Out there hustlin’ that sonic massage

When I make my Top 40
Big beat
Heavy soul
Freaked out
Solid gold
Synthesized
Rock ‘n’ roll record
Everything is gonna be just fine

"Trick Bag"

"Trick Bag"



It was 12:00 o' clock at night--you walk out the door.
You told me baby--you were going to the drug-store.
Well, in my mind, I knew you were lying;
The drug-store closed at a quarter to nine.
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.
The way you've been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag.

When I come home, start an argument,
Just to keep me from asking where my voodoo went.
Peek out the front door--I hear the back door slam.
I peep out of my window--somebody's taking on the lam.
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.
The way you've been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag.

Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah

We had a fight, then you got mad;
Got on the telephone--called your mom and dad.
Dad said, "She's my daughter and I'm her pa,
And you ain't nothing but a son-in-law."
I say I saw you kissing Jimmy across the fence,
I heard you telling Jimmy I ain't got no sense.
The way you've been acting is such a drag;
You done put me in a trick-bag.

Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah

Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah
Oh hey yeah

"Trouble"

"Trouble"



You yelled "hey"
When your car wouldn't start
Got real nervous, started to eat your heart out
You're so fat, your shoes don't fit on your feet
You got trouble
And it's tailor made, mama lay down your head in the shade
Coz your eyes are tired and your feet are too
And you wish the world was as tired as you
Well I write a letter and I and it today
And put all the trouble in it you had today, had today

You yelled "hey"
When your stove blew up
Upset, why yes
The footprints on your ceiling are almost gone
And you're wondering why
Mama lay your head down don't you
Your eyes are tired and your feet are too
And you wish the world was as tired as you
Well I write a letter and I send it away
And I put in it all the trouble you had today, had today
All the trouble in it

Well your telephone rang and you weren't home
You forgot about this and you forgot about that
Got to get to what you're doing
Goodbye click that so and so
You're an islander on your own, on your own

"True Love"

"True Love"



If I'm not mistaken
My whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one

I was searching for perfection babe
But love is the exception that proves all the rules
There's a sensuality that only you have shown to me
That steals my breath away

And by the way baby
If there's something that I care about it's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

(and it's you love)

Total satisfaction - irresistible attraction
I got no excuse
I live in anticipation of your unforeseen temptations
What you gonna do?

I don't have an explanation
You're the only invitation I cannot refuse
And handsome is as handsome does
And you win hands down baby doll
You got it nailed
And by the way baby

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
If there's one thing I can't live without
It's true love
(and it's you love)

If I'm not mistaken
My whole universe was shaken when I fell for you
Coz all the stars collided when I held you in my arms
I knew you were the one
And by the way baby

If there's something that I care about it's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

All the tragedy and irony of true love
All the agony and ecstacy of true love
It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love

It don't matter where you are, you are my true love
There was never any doubt about it
True love
And I thank the lucky stars above for true love
If there's one thing I can't live without

It's true love

If there's something that I care about
It's true love
And no matter where you are, you are my true love

"TV Dinners"

"TV Dinners"



TV dinners…there’s nothin’ else to eat
TV dinners…they really can’t be beat
I like ‘em frozen, but you understand
I throw ‘em in and ‘wave ‘em and I’m a brand new man

Oh, yeah…

TV dinners…they’re goin’ to my head
TV dinners…my skin is turning red
Twenty-year-old turkey in a thirty-year-old tin
I can’t wait ‘til tomorrow to thaw one out again

Oh, yeah…

In the night, oh my…
And they sure look fine…

TV dinners…feelin’ kinda rough
TV dinners…this one’s kinda tough
I like the enchiladas and the teriyaki, too
I even like the chicken…if the sauce is not too blue

In the night, oh, my
And they sure look fine…

"Twenty Million Things"

"Twenty Million Things"



If it's fix a fence,
Fender dents,
I've got lots of experience.
Rent gets spent,
and all the letters,
Never written, that I don't get sent.
It comes from confusion;
All the things I left undone.
It comes from moment to moment,
day to day,
and time seems to slip away.

But I got twenty million things to do,
twenty million things.
All I can think about is you.
With twenty million things,
twenty million things to do.

I got mysterious
wysterias, hanging in the air.
The rocking chair I supposed to fix,
well it came undid.
And the things that I let slip,
I found out quick:
Comes from moment to moment,
day to day,
and time seems to slip away.

But I got twenty million things to do,
twenty million things.
All I can do, is think about you.
With twenty million,
twenty million things to do...

"Under Suspicion"

"Under Suspicion"


Well, I've been mistreated
Been lied to and cheated
Misused and abused
Like something that you throw away

First you fill me with thunder
Then you let me go under
You can run, you can hide
But you ain't gonna get away
Coz you're under suspicion
Of leaving the scene of a broken heart
Under suspicion
Of a hit and run love affair

You ain't got a conscience
And you made me the victim
Of a cruel and unusual crime
Now you're under suspicion
Under suspicion
Under suspicion
Under suspicion of a hit and run love affair
Hey yeah yeah
Whoo [etc]

No matter where you be going
I got ways of knowing
And somewhere down the line
You're gonna have to pay

Hey

Coz you're under suspicion
Of leaving the scene of a broken heart yeah
Under suspicion
Of a hit and run love affair

You ain't got a conscience
And you made me the victim
Of a cruel and unusual crime
Now you're under suspicion
Under suspicion
Under suspicion
Yeah under suspicion of a hit and run love affair
Yeah yeah yeah
Under suspicion
Under suspicion
Ain't got no where to run
Coz you're under suspicion
Under suspicion
Under suspicion
Under suspicion
Of leavin' the scene of a broken heart
Under suspicion
Yeah under suspicion of a hit and run love affair

"Want You More"

"Want You More"



Tried the phone, oh whats the use?
I know I won't get through to you
First a note, then a call
Only yesterday I was yours now
Every day I want you more.
Close my eyes, oh there you are
Stop before we go too far
Every move I recall,
Shouldn't dream that you're here because it
Only makes me want you more.
How could I forget you?
All the reasons we've seen through
Didn't see, never thought, no sense looking back because it
Only makes me want you more.
Our emotions in store,
All the time we're apart: ignore
It only makes me want you more.
Please don't think I never heard:
I remember every word
Every move I recall
Shouldn't dream that you're here at all it
Only makes me want you more.
Every day, hey, every room
Sadness makes the vainest fools
Whose to say what's in store?
Just remember I just adore you
Every day I want you more, oh.
