"Last Summer"

"Last Summer"


Sipping a sangria with a girl named Julia
Hot Jamaican sand beneath our feet
She purred like a cat in a Panama hat
She said my passport picture was unique
I said I did impersonations would you like to see
Turned around to buy her one more round

Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around

The carnival had passed
and my heart was beating fast
All these married women, it ain't fair
Nervously I said would you like to come to bed
A cold silence pierced the evening air
Instantly she recognized my insecurities
Changing subjects quickly I agreed

Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy, oo baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around

The tourist had all gone, winter's coming on
The hotel chambermaid didn't seem to care
Sharing a pina colada we broke into laughter
I'll never know how we made it up the stairs
We spent the night together
and she woke up in my arms
Kissed me tenderly and said goodbye

Then suddenly she disappeared
like I feared with another guy, oo baby
Love always seems to let me down
Can be found anywhere around
Nowhere around

Love always seems to let me down
Maybe I'll wait until next year, next year, next year

"Lay Down Sally"
(originally by Eric Clapton)

"Lay Down Sally"
(originally by Eric Clapton)



There is nothing that is wrong
In wanting you to stay here with me.
I know you've got somewhere to go,
But won't you make yourself at home and stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

The sun ain't nearly on the rise
And we still got the moon and stars above.
Underneath the velvet skies,
Love is all that matters. Won't you stay with me?
And don't you ever leave.

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

I long to see the morning light
Coloring your face so dreamily.
So don't you go and say goodbye,
You can lay your worries down and stay with me.
And don't you ever leave.

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

Lay down, Sally, and rest you in my arms.
Don't you think you want someone to talk to?
Lay down, Sally, no need to leave so soon.
I've been trying all night long just to talk to you.

"Leave Virginia Alone"

"Leave Virginia Alone"


Well I've Seen her
Down the alley
And over the hill
To steel her away
She was as hot as
Georgia asphalt
When the aircraft came
To adore her brain

So leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me
You should've seen her
Back in the city
Poetry and jewels
Broke all the rules
She was as high as
A Georgia palm tree

(1) So Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me

Some sunny day
When the h... of times have
Gone farewell
You'll understand
Why it was so hard
To run away
To run away

She's a loser
She's a forgiver
She still finds good
When no one could
You want her
More than money
Cadillac can rust
Diamond and dust

[Repeat (1)]

Ah, yeah
Leave Virginia alone
Leave Virginia alone
She's not like you
And me
She's not like you
And me

Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ,...

La, la, la, leave her alone

Oh, Virginia
Oh, Virginia
Leave her alone

"Legless"

"Legless"


[Verse:]
I’ve been working all of my life
Tryin to make a dollar last
Well in this morning my telephone rang
As I was putting out the trash

Excuse me sir are you Mr. Jones?
I said yes Ma’am I surely am
Congratulations sir you’re a lottery winner
You’re a rich man the rest of your life

[Chorus:]
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get legless tonight
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get loaded tonight

[Verse:]
We get all dressed up and we goin down town
In one of them long black limousines
We celebrating with all of our friends
At the paradise ball and grill

I serve my country in Vietnam
And made my life on the line
But tonight I’m letting down I’m selecting my air
With some good champagne and wine

[Chorus:]
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get legless tonight
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get loaded tonight

[Verse:]
All my taxes paid to good old Uncle Sam
I’m a no nonsense kind of guy
I’m a hardworking man I’m an honest man
But tonight I’m gonna let me go

[Chorus:]
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get legless tonight
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get loaded tonight

[Chorus:]
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get legless tonight
I’m in the mood I’m in the mood to get shit faced tonight

"Let It Be Me"
(feat. Jennifer Hudson)

"Let It Be Me"
(feat. Jennifer Hudson)



I bless the day I found you
I want to stay around you
And so I beg you
Let it be me

Don't take this heaven from one
If you must cling to someone
Now and forever
Let it be me

Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
And that you'll always let it be me

Each time we meet, love
I find complete love
Without your sweet love
What would life be?

So never leave me lonely
Tell me you love me only
And that you'll always let it be me
Let it be me, let it be me

Let it be me, let it be me
Why don't you let it?
Why don't you let it?

"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"
(feat. Dave Koz)

"Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!"
(feat. Dave Koz)



Oh, the weather outside is frightful,
But the fire is so delightful,
And since we've no place to go,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

It doesn't show signs of stopping,
And I brought some corn for popping;
The lights are turned way down low,
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

When we finally say good night,
How I'll hate going out in the storm;
But if you really hold me tight,
All the way home I'll be warm.

The fire is slowly dying,
And, my dear, we're still good-bye-ing,
But as long as you love me so.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

"Let Me Be Your Car"

"Let Me Be Your Car"


I may not seem your ideal
when you look into my eyes
I don't smoke, I don't tell jokes
I'm not the custom made size
But baby let me take you
out on the highway for awhile
I'll show you where the man in me
is when he doesn't hide
He's cruisin' in the fast lane
stuck behind the wheel
Jekyll and Hyde going on inside
when I'm your automobile

And let me be your car for awhile child
shift me into gear and I'll be there
fill me up with five star gasoline
I'll be your car I'll take you anywhere

Don't you know I can't dance
I don't dig it, I can't see it at all
You say I'm just a specimen
and baby I can crawl
My physique just don't look
the way the physiques really should
But then again I've got an engine
underneath my hood
When I'm cutting up the road
with a sports car on my tail
Frankenstein's inside my mind
and the wind's inside my sails

"Let's Fall In Love"
(feat. George Benson)

"Let's Fall In Love"
(feat. George Benson)



We might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover
I have a feelin', it's a feelin' I'm concealin', I don't know why
It's just a mental, incidental, sentimental, alibi
But I adore you, so strong for you
Why go on stallin', I'm fallin', love is callin', why be shy?

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Our hearts are made of it
Let's take a chance, why be afraid of it?

Let's close our eyes
And make our own paradise
Little we know of it
Still we can try to make a go of it

Now, we might have been meant for each other
To be or not to be, let our hearts discover

Let's fall in love
Why shouldn't we fall in love?
Now is the time for it, while we are young
Let's fall in love

Let's fall in love
Let's fall in love

"Lethal Dose Of Love"

"Lethal Dose Of Love"


Wild thing!

Should've known better
With a girl like you
You satisfied my every need
What a little heartbreaker
You turned out to be
Prettiest face I've ever seen
Oh dance little sister, you turn me on
You make my blood run hot
Killer legs in that short black dress
Baby you was born to rock

I don't mind you fooling me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messing me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love

Lethal dose of love, watch out
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love

Should 've know better
With a girl like you
You're totally misunderstood
I hear them talking
In this one horse town
You scandalize the neighborhood
My family was shocked by your antic views
The color of your lips and hair
Even my brother who's a God fearin' man
Poor boy had to sit and stare

I don't mind you fooling me around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messing me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love

Lethal dose of love
Yeah yeah yeah

Lethal dose of love
Lethal dose of love

I hear the clicking
of your heels on the stairs
You don't talk and I don't ask
What a little difference
Some eyeliner makes
Tomorrow you'll be back in class
Although my blueprint for happiness
Depends on you
I'll cook and clean and be your slave
I'll tie you up but I won't tie you down
Baby, I might even shave

I don't mind you fooling around
Just don't let me out of your jail
I don't mind you messing me up
I tell all my friends
It's a lethal dose of love

Lethal dose of love
(Repeat and fade)

"Live The Life"

"Live The Life"


You wrote it in your email that you’re sad and lonely
‘Cause a girl in college has stolen your heart
And so my estimation of the situation
Is I bet you can’t stand being apart

Listen son you gon to find a sense of perspective
Ain’t no use to bury your weight in the sand
Although I kinda like your evolution of spirit
You know you got to fall before you learn how to stand

Nobody’s gonna know what it’s like
To walk a mile in your shoes
Such most sayin it’s a wonderful world
But you make it it’s up to you

Let yourself fly, let yourself cry
And years will disappear in a blink of an eye
There’s music in your head, and it holds your plans
Then handle be heaven wenches in your heart
So love the life you live
And live the life you love

Everybody here has been asking about you
When’s that boy of yours gonna be coming home
And when I hear the bells ringing down at the school yard
Kinda reminds me of when you were young

You know you gotta polarize your concentration
I know that girl of yours gonna understand
Never underestimate the power of affection
When you got the world in the palm of your hands

Don’t go looking for the pot of gold
Or the light miracle mile
Hundred has lost in your home backyard
Be talking it could take a while

Walk down the aisle, with that big old smile
Collect your diploma with your head up high
Study with your soul, 10 weeks left on
We’ll always remember, let the good times roll
Another life you live
And live the life you love

Nobody’s gonna know what it’s like
To walk a mile in your shoes
Such most sayin it’s a wonderful world
But you make it it’s up to you

So walk by the lake hand in hand
Try and see the sunset in the far away land
Tell her you love her don’t be afraid
And keep every promise that you ever made
And love the life you live
Live the life you love
Love the life you live
Live the life you love

You gotta love it
You gotta love it
Make the most of it
You only got one chance
So take it with your hands
Love the life you live...
