"Why Get Up?"

"Why Get Up?"



Phone keeps ringin' right off the hook.
Some bill collecter I know I cussed.
I think I'll stay in bed and dream all day.
The world outside bugs me anyway.
When I get things going the going gets rough,
so I ask myself why get up?

Why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up?
why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

I went to the doctor He said loose some weight.
And if you don't do it quick we got to amputate.
I talked to my lawyer he said case is closed
That woman got it all even the garden hose.
I'm starin' at the ceiling thinking just my luck
I think I'll roll back on over - why get up ?

Why get up? Why get up?
How can I get up?
why should I get up?
This whole worlds gone crazy, Think I've seen enough.
I'm gonna sleep forever - why get up?

Well I can't quit tickin' - I'm nervous all the time
when I wake up these nights, it's turnin' round in my mind
what was it I said to that girl last night
She really got upset I better stay out of sight
I remember the gun and someone calling my bluff
I better duck undercover - why get up ?

Why get up, why get up
how can I get up
Why should I get up
this whole worlds gone crazy think I've seen enough
Think I'll roll back on over why get up.

"Witchcraft"

"Witchcraft"



Witchcraft Lyrics
Those fingers in my hair
That sly come hither stare
That strips my conscience bare
It's witchcraft

And I've got no defense for it
The heat is too intense for it
What good would common sense for it do

'cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft
And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in me
My heart says yes indeed in me
Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch
But one I wouldn't switch
'cause there's no nicer witch than you

"Woke Up Laughing"

"Woke Up Laughing"


I ran to the window as fast as could be
I thought you were somebody else
I thought you were me
I thought I had lost everything and found you instead
I fell fast asleep in your arms I woke up in bed

I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was flat on my back
I was taking a plunge
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
I woke up laughing
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away
You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

[Repeat whole song]

"Woke Up Laughing 79/89"


I was waiting for you
I was sat in the sun
I could picture your face on the tip of my tongue
I woke up laughing
I broke into a sweat
I broke into a run
You were hot in my heels so I hired a gun
I woke up laughing
I was taking a plunge
I was flat on my back
It was making a stand but my plan was undone
Well I planned an escape for the middle of june
I woke up laughing
But I drug too fast and I fire too soon
I woke up laughing
Woke up laughing

You make yourself a fortune, out in hong kong
You sit at home and wonder whether you were wrong
You take a small vacation just to keep sane
You find on your return your home has blown away

You meditate, you make haste
You run a risk, you come late,
You pay a bill, you lose face
You're not fully unaware
Your star or your fate
If you fall do you break
You go to war, you make love
You sign out in a box

[Repeat whole song]

"Woman You're Wonderful"

"Woman You're Wonderful"



You are already dealing
In the terms I dream
Through all the chaos
You're my order in between
Possible sacrifices, darling
You've forseen
And when you please yourself
You end up pleasing me

Oh, woman you're wonderful
Woman you're wonderful

You make my heart start jumping
Show me mercy, please
You know I know
You're something extraordinary
I never have to ask you
Just how much you care
If I wait, I know you'll say
What I want to hear

Oh, woman you're wonderful
So wonderful

I should have guessed
That you are more than meets the eye
From every point of view
You more than qualify
When nothing I do
Seems to make me satisfied
I can rely on you
To take me by surprise

Oh, woman you're wonderful
So wonderful

You make my heart start jumping
Show me mercy, please
You know I know
You're something extraordinary
I never have to ask you
Just how much you care
If I wait, I know you'll say
What I want to hear

Oh, woman you're wonderful
Woman you're wonderful

"You Are In My System"

"You Are In My System"



Day by day and night by night
I feel you in my mind
It happens all the time
You know the day dreams stop
My heart beats on
I can't take it any more
It's you I live for
You are in my system
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
You oooohhhh you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
I will keep on pushing, pushing, pushing
Until I get through
My main objective baby is to get to you
To turn your mind around
I know will take time
But you know I can wait, now
You're on my mind
You are in my system
I just want you to know that,
You are in my system
Got me burning, I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, oooohhhh, you're in my system, system
Don't you, Don't you, don't you know that, babe.
It's a romantic vision of me and you
It happens all the time
My dreams are filled with you
There's no doubt in my mind
That I'll be true baby
You know I'll take you out
And I'll keep lovin' you
Oh baby you are in my system,
I just want you to know that
You are in my system
Cut me right down to the wire
You, ooohh, you're in my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system
Can't make believe
You, you're in my system
You're everything I need
You, ooohh, you're in my system
I just want you to know that
You, you're my system
Got me burning I'm on fire
You, you're in my system

"You Blow Me Away"

"You Blow Me Away"



I was all at sea
'til you rescued me
Saw through my charade
Said don't be afraid

My life was just pretence
You won my confidence
And came to my defence
You blow me away

Saw through my masquerade
You made me unafraid
Broke down my barricade
You blow me away

I didn't have a clue
'til I looked at you
When I saw your face
It all fell into place

Here in your arms
What can I say
All of your charms
Blow me away

You must have been aware
That this here love affair
Could take us anywhere
You blow me away

You washed my pain away
I saw the light of day
You helped me find a way
You blow me away

"You Can Have It (Take My Heart)"

"You Can Have It (Take My Heart)"



Has there ever come a time, when you fell real nice
And you want to let someone know that you really appreciate them?
All you have to do is moan a little bit for me,
It goes something like this
Ooooh, ooooho, oooooh, oooooho.

You see, no time for wasting, baby,
We're gone all through those moves
I'm offering satisfaction, darling,
Girl, I'm giving you all my love,
Anytime is the right time, baby,
Come on and, take my heart
It's all yours if you want it, baby,
My heart is tearing all apart, I say

Ooooh (you can have it)
Yeah (if you want it)
Come and get it, baby,
But if you want it (you can have it)
Come and get it, girl, yeah (if you want it), yeah.
See darling - there's no time for wasting, baby,
Come on please, make up your mind.
Good loving is so pleasing, baby,
Girl, I'm giving you all my time.
You can have it if you want it
Just come and get it, and, baby, it's yours, yeah.
I've got it to give and if you want it.
I know that you're gonna love it, so come on, girl.
Oh, I knew you'd like it,
Oh baby, you got me saying something like
Oooooh, ooooho.

One night while I was sleeping, baby,
Had a dream of you and I,
Found myself asking you, baby,
Take my hand and be my wife.

There's no time for wasting, baby,
Cause we've gone all through these moves
Cause I'm offering satisfaction, darling,
Girl, I'm giving you all my love.

You can have it, yeah, if you want it.
You can have it (baby, you really want my loving)
If you want it (it's all yours, baby)
You can have it any time of the day if you want it.

Don't matter what place it is, baby, you can get it, baby.
You can have it (come on, girl, and get it)
If you want it you can have it
(cause I will make you feel alright)
If you want it (can't you tell that)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it (come on, darling)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it (satisfaction guaranteed)
You can have it (take my heart)
If you want it you can have it (take my heart)
If you want it.
