"Just Because You Love Me"

"Just Because You Love Me"



Baby, baby, give it to me, give it to me
Baby, baby, give it to me, give it,
Now is that all I get, is that all I get
Just because you love me

Baby, baby, give it to me, give it to me
Baby, baby, give it to me, give it to me
I'm not that quick (but) this is ridiculous
Just because you love me

It's common courtesy
Don't be a nurse to me
You save your worst for me
Just because you love me

Baby, baby, level with me, level, with me
Baby, baby, level with me, level, with me
What should I do when you say no
Just because you love me

"Just Got Back From Heaven"

"Just Got Back From Heaven"



All I get is quiet
Laughing friends won't buy it
I've been known to tell them white lies
But this time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven

I can see their faces
As I mention places
Places that I've overdescribed
But this time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven

Heaven isn't so far away
You walk through the door
And you're light years away
Someone looks right into your eyes
And you feel the magic that you can't deny
And you sway
All through the night
If you stay
All through the night
Look at the shape I'm in
I just got back from heaven

Searching for some glory
People make up stories
One too many drinks at the bar
But this time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven

Heaven isn't so far away
You walk through the door
And you're light years away
Someone looks right into your eyes
And you feel the magic that you can't deny
And you sway
All through the night
If you stay
All through the night
Look at the shape I'm in
I just got back from heaven

Any destination
Makes a great vacation
This is something greater by far
This time I swear it's the truth, oh, oh
I just got back from heaven

"Kiss Me Quick"

"Kiss Me Quick"



Kiss me quick
Hot and right
No confusion
Paradise

Never panic
We're alone
Kiss me quick
There's the phone

Lips that taste of cigarettes and California wine
Lips that taste of fancy food, you drive me out of my mind
I really wish you'd kiss me one more time

Kiss my quick
Melt the ice
College ideas
High school eyes

Paramedic
Dressed in white
Kiss me quick
Save my life

Lips that taste of foreign words and complimentary lies
Lips that make a nervous wreck of any normal guy
I really wish you'd kiss me one more time

Kiss me quick
Wake me up
Caffeine kisses
Not enough

Jungle fever
Insect bites
Weird religions
Pagan rites

Lips that taste of cigarettes and California wine
Lips that taste of fancy food, you drive me out of my mind
I really wish you'd kiss me one more time

"La Dolce Vita"

"La Dolce Vita"


You're the only bank that's open all night, La Dolce Vita
Now that's clear, can you give me a light, La Dolce Vita
Now that that's clear, when do we eat? La Dolce Vita
Now that that's clear can I have another plate of your
La Dolce Vita

[CHORUS]
Goldiggers arise
Goldiggers are hungry guys
Goldiggers are we
Step up follow me

Mira, mira, guys, there's Lira in her eyes, La Dolce Vita
Looking real bored is what you pay me for, La Dolce Vita
Looking real bored's as hard as scrubbing floors, La Dolce Vita
I'm overpaid but still I'll ask for more, La Dolce Vita
Baby, after all you've got to help the poor, La Dolce Vita

[CHORUS]

Mira, mira, guys, there's Lira in here eyes, La Dolce Vita
I catch a cold just by looking in your eyes, La Dolce Vita
That's just a hazard in work of this kind, La Dolce Vita
Baby you're looking younger every day, La Dolce Vita
I really mean it, it ain't just the pay, La Dolce Vita

[CHORUS]

Mira, mira, guys, there's Lira in her eyes, La Dolce Vita
Life isn't much, but there's nothing else to do, La Dolce Vita

"Ladies"

"Ladies"



Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh
Oh, Oh, Oh, Oh

Ladies, Ladies
On the sofa next to me
Are Dinah Shore and Sara Lee

Ladies, Ladies
In the backyard climbing trees
Are Princess Grace and Margaret Meade

Ladies, Ladies
And you pull in the driveway, you've been out shopping
I got a hide them, hide all you ladies
Lay down and smile, they're disappearing
And then right after, I welcome home my only lady

Ladies, Ladies
Jackie's in the powder room
Lois Lane will be here soon

Ladies, Ladies
Eva Braun is cracking jokes
While Joan of Arc just sits and smokes

Ladies, Ladies
When I call up some buddies, "Hey, come on over,
There's ladies present!" We'll be right over!
The ladies hear me, they're disappearing
And then right after,
My friends ask me where are all the ladies?
All of the ladies?

Ladies, Ladies
In the kitchen baking cake
Is Betty Crocker

Ladies, Ladies
Dolly Parton's in my pool
And Aunt Jemima's acting cool

Ladies, Ladies
They're really great in person
They get me going
But, I'm not pushy
Don't want to blow it
No six packs know it
They started fading
Come back my ladies
Where would I be without my ladies?
Ladies...

"Let The Monkey Drive"

"Let The Monkey Drive"



We're driving north on Highway 1
Toward Santa Barbara, lots of sun
Pacific Ocean on our left hand side
Tough Sata Barbara's on our mind,
our love can't wait till after nine
So she says, 'Can't we let the monkey drive?'

Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1

He's passing cars and passing trucks
And swigs some coffee from Starbucks
And in the backseat everything is fine
He never pries in our affairs
He never listens, never stares
And we three are enjoying our long ride

Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1

Let the monkey drive, and it's only fair
It's the monkey's car and he hates to share
Let him chauffeur us, while we have our fun
Keep our love alive on Highway 1

With obscene gestures, learned from me
He works off some hostility
Toward drivers who might cut him off or slide
I think his license has expired, he seems to be a little wired
He has some trouble staying on our side

But you and me are doing fine
We couldn't wait till after nine
Impossible, our love is way too strong
He hits the brakes a couple times, but everything is superfine
I'm glad the monkey asked to come along

Let the monkey drive, and it's only fair
It's the monkey's car and he hates to share
Let him chauffeur us, while we have our fun
Keep our love alive, out on Highway 1

Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1

Let the monkey drive, we can have our fun
As we hop in back, out on Highway 1
Let him take the wheel, 'neath the setting sun
Let the monkey drive, out on Highway 1

Let the monkey drive, and it's only fair
It's the monkey's car and he hates to share
Let him chauffeur us, while we have our fun
Keep our love alive, out on Highway 1

"Let's Get Funky"

"Let's Get Funky"



She arrived on a Greyhound bus
And she was young and so lean
And she smelled like a smalltown church
But she looked like a queen

And I walked up and asked her name
And she gave me a stare
So I said will you marry me
She just brushed at her hair

She looked hungry and knew I was
So she ate lunch with me
Then she held out a greasy hand
Rubbed the grease on my knee

Maybe she's taken a vow of silence
Maybe she's from some quiet island
Or maybe she's scared of big city life, I don't know
Maybe she's had a difficult life
Oh c'mon baby just a word
Just a syllable or two
Take your pick say a word
Any word at all will do

"Let's get funky"

"Let's Go Surfing"

"Let's Go Surfing"



Rain is pouring down
In our land-locked town
Skies are always gray
Let's go surfing, babe
Somewhere there is hope
Somewhere there are dreams
Far from soot and smoke
Let's go surfing, babe

Tonight as we look at the moon and the stars
From our room with security bars
There's a westerly wind that is blowing both our minds
And both our feet
Walk through sand that's as white as the snow
Past the people named Kelley and Joe
Who have nothing in common with anyone we know
We know they're

Too Wagnerian
Too Shakespearian
Too impossible
Let's go surfing, babe
Somewhere there is hope
Far from everything
Far from misanthropes
Let's go surfing, babe

Tonight, from a room only Dickens could love
Wearing moth-eaten sweaters and gloves
We will open the window and feel an on-shore wind
A-blowing in
Grab our boards from the back of our van
Paddle out 'til we can't see the sand
Spin around and drop into the wave we hope will never end

Somewhere there is hope
Somewhere there are dreams
Far from everything
Let's go surfing, babe

Tonight, grab our boards from the back of our van
Paddle out 'til we can't see the sand
Spin around and drop into the wave we hope will never end

Catch a wave, a wave, a wave
Catch a wave, a wave, a wave

Somewhere there is hope
Somewhere there are dreams
Far from everything
Let's go surfing, babe

"Let's Make Love"

"Let's Make Love"



There's no way that I could ever explain
I got to hold you in my arms, dear
Or else go insane
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
It makes me just a little dizzy
And out of control
But I've been waiting all my life
For someone I could stand
And you're the primary reason
I feel like a man
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
I couldn't ever hope to tell you
I'm sure you must know

It ain't the cool thing to be leaving
You're a sweet, young, and naive thing
Here comes the night
There goes my heart
Let's make love and not fall apart

I'm so grateful
For the love that we share
I'll never take it for granted
That you're always there
And when I think about the world
And what is going on
It makes me even more thankful
That you're still around
And I've been waiting all my life
For someone I could stand
And you're the only one so far
Who could understand
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
I couldn't ever hope to tell you
I'm sure you must know

It ain't the cool thing to be leaving
You're a sweet, young, and naive thing
Here comes the night
There goes my heart
Let's make love and not fall apart

When I see you there
With tears in your eyes
And I know somethin's gonna happen
That I might not like
I feel a worry in my heart
A worry in my soul
In fact, it's only you rehearsing
For some silly role
And you say, did I have you fooled
Were you really fooled
And I say, sorry pretty baby
No, I wasn't fooled
And what I'm feelin' in my heart
Feelin' in my soul
I couldn't ever hope to tell you
I'm sure you must know

It ain't the cool thing to be leaving
You're a sweet, young, and naive thing
Here comes the night
There goes my heart
Let's make love and not fall apart

"Lighten Up, Morrissey"

"Lighten Up, Morrissey"



She won't go out with me, no, she won't go out
'Cause my intellect's paper thin
She won't go out with me, no, she won't go out
Since my intellect's not like him

So, lighten up, Morrissey

She won't hang out with me, no, she won't hang out
'Til my biting wit bites like his
She won't hang out with me, no, she won't hang out
'Til my quick retort's quick as his

So, lighten up, Morrissey?
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey

She won't have sex with me, no, she won't have sex
'Less it's done with a pseudonym
She won't do sport with me, no, she won't do sport
Says it's way, way too masculine, look at him

So, lighten up, Morrissey?
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey

I got comparisons coming out my ears
And she never can hit the pause
If only Morrissey weren't so Morrisseyesque
She might overlook all my flaws

So, lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
So, lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey'
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
She won't dine out with me, no, she won't dine out
Says my t-bone steak is at fault
She won't dine out with me, no, she won't dine out
With a murderer, pass the salt

Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up

Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
Lighten up, lighten up
Lighten up, Morrissey
