She's a woman


I've spent close on sixteen years
Watching your pretty flower grow
Little girl, little girl, now tell me
Everything you know
About the oceans and the skies,
The mountains and the trees,
And then I'm tell you about
The birds and the honey bees

'Cos I'm a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I'm a love man
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And I'm doing all I can
I just love to tease,
I would do anything to please you, baby

Sweet little angel, give me your hand,
Feel for my heartbeat, baby,
Then you'll understand
About the bees and the honey,
The bluebirds in the trees,
And you'd know, just to get close to you
I would get down on my knees

I am a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am a love man That's what I am
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And I'm doing all I can
I could love to squeeze,
I would do anything to please you, baby

Baby, I am a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
I am a love man That's what I am
I'm a hootchie cootchie man,
Doing all I can
I just love to tease,
I would get down on my knees

So come a little closer,
Let me whisper in your ear
How the good Lord in His Wisdom
Made you so, and put you here

He played a little game
Called The Apple and the Snake,
When the lady took her first sweet bite
The Snake made no mistake

He was a love man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
And I am a love man
I'm a hootchie cootchie man
And I'm doing all I can,
'Cos a love man needs his loving everyday
Yeah, yeah, yeah, I am a love man

Sweet talker


I wanna be loved,
Don't wanna be teased.
I don't want no woman
Getting down on her knees.

I'm ready an' willing
To reach for the sun,
So I can get me some loving
Before I'm gone.

I want more, more, more, more,
I want some more
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.

I want you to rock me
All night long.
Rope an' ride me, baby,
Do me wrong.

Roll me over, make be bleed,
I'd dance with the devil
To get what I need.
I need more, more, more, more,
I need some more of that
Sweet satisfaction to soothe my soul.

I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I'm talking about sweet satisfaction,
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing, sweet satisfaction.
Sweet satisfaction, sweet satisfaction.
I'm ready an' willing.

I get this crazy feeling inside my soul,
And it's driving me insane.
I get this crazy feeling,
Can you feel it, baby,
It's driving me out of my mind.
I keep on looking for

Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I'm ready an' willing.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking.
Sweet satisfaction, I keep on looking...

BREAKDOWN
Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown.
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown.
Shot you full of rock'n roll, couldn't make your soul,
didn't burn you to the bone.
Do what the man says, take the money and run.
But I never saw the splendour in stealing all your gold,
taking all your silver and doing what I'm told.
I never saw the tears but I knew you cried for rhythm'n'blues.
Screaming like a wildcat I knew that I had nothing to lose.
Shot you full of rock'n roll, couldn't make your soul,
didn't burn you to the bone.
Do what the man says, take the money and run.
But I never saw the splendour in stealing all your gold,
taking all your silver and doing what I'm told.
It's just a breakdown,
breakdown,
breakdown,
breakdown.
Shaking like a leaf in the wind see me blowing away.
Never see me fall on the ground till I've had my say.
Shot you full of rock'n roll, couldn't make your soul,
didn't burn you to the bone.
Do what the man says, take the money and run.
But I never saw the splendour in stealing all your gold,
taking all your silver and doing what I'm told.
It's just a breakdown,
breakdown,
breakdown,
breakdown.
Getting near the end, now I knew the time was right for a breakdown.
Megaton surprise but your eyes never made it a shakedown.
Shot you full of rock'n'roll, couldn't make your soul,
didn't burn you to the bone.
Do what the man says, take the money and run.
But I never saw the splendour in stealing all your gold,
taking all your silver and doing what I'm told.
It's just a breakdown,
breakdown,
breakdown,
breakdown.

Come an' get it


When I heard the sound of thunder
On the day that I was born,
I was blinded by the lighting
An' baptised in the storm
My father started crying
When he saw what he had done,
But, my mother started praying
Have mercy on my son,
He is a child of Babylon

I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, nowhere to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon

When I've fooled around so many times
When I've known it ain't been right,
But, I paint it all in colours
When it really should be black and white
I sail my ship through muddy waters,
Try to open every door,
When I saw the seven wonders
It left me wanting more

I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon

On my day of judgement
I know how it will be,
I'm prepared to meet my maker
With no hope for charity
I'll stand alone and pay the price
For everything I've done,
'Cos there ain't guardian angel
For a child of Babylon

I am a child,
A child of Babylon
I am a child of Babylon,
Lord have mercy on a wayward son
Nowhere to hide, got no place to run
I am a child,
A child of Babylon

Child of Babylon

Don't break my heart again


I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for

Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last

Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore

I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
I know that even in a summer love
A little bit of rain must fall
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you

Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last

Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore
Don't break my heart

Don't break my heart again, like you did before
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore

Girl


I have never known a woman
Who loves me like you do,
You treat me like a dog
An' make me shake my tail for you
I know the game you're playing
When you're turning all your tricks
It's written on your face
You just want your business fixed

No, I don't need a crystal ball
To see what's in your mind
If I don't give you what you want
You treat me so unkind,
But if I'm good and give you love
You throw me down a bone,
But if I'm bad you make me sad
An' leave my love alone

Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl
Girl, girl
Pretty little crazy white girl

I know, baby, you ain't fooling
With all your high class schooling,
You want everything your own way
If I could, I would
Do every little thing a good man should,
Baby, I'd really give it to you
Every day

Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl
Girl...

Mean mistreater,
There ain't no one to beat you,
But you treat me so bad
I've never known a woman
Who loves me like you do,
You treat me like a dog
An' still I shake my tail for you

Pretty little crazy white girl,
Just a pretty little crazy white girl,
Pretty little crazy white girl
Girl, girl...

Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl, she treat me so bad
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl, come on baby
Pretty little crazy white girl,
I love the way you make me
Girl...
Pretty little crazy white girl,
Girl...
Pretty little crazy white girl

Hot stuff


I don't know where I'm going
But, I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But, here I go again
Here I go again
Tho' I keep searching for an answer
I never seem to find what I'm looking for
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again on my own
Going down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

Lonely days, lonely nights


I'm ready for you,
Are you ready for me
I've got a burning heart,
It won't let me be
I feel the hunger, my spirit yearns,
I've got to feed the fever
Of a love that burns

I walk the street 'round midnight,
Looking for a little hot stuff,
I can't get enuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff

I'm hard to handle,
Too hot to hold
I can't seem to satisfy
My heart an' soul
I need a woman to set me free,
A little Miss Understanding
To feel the need in me

I walk the street 'round midnight,
Looking for a little hot stuff,
I can't get enuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff

I'm ready for you,
Are you ready for me
I've got a burning heart,
It won't let me be
I feel the hunger, my spirit yearns,
I've got to feed the fever
Of a love that burns

I walk the street 'round midnight
Looking for a little hot stuff,
I can't get enuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff,
Hot stuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff,
Can't get enuff, hot stuff,
I just can't get enuff, hot stuff

Hot stuff, can't get enuff hot stuff...

Till the day i die


When ice cold winds of winter
Chill me to the bone,
An' thoughts of summer breezes
Turn my heart to stone
That's when I need a hand to guide me,
When it's more than I can bear
A shoulder I can cry on,
Someone to lead me there

An' give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die

Slowly I awaken
To the Weavers plan for me,
To drift upon the waters
Of my own uncertainty,
To look for a companion
Who will share my destiny,
A guiding hand to understand
An' walk to road with me

An' give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die

I wanna be the master of my destiny,
I never wanna crawl an' beg for no sympathy,
When everything I have is yours,
An' all I ask of you

Is give me love.
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die

I never wanna be the first
To show I'm down,
But, I'm never gonna wear the frozen smile of a clown
When everything I have is yours
And all I ask of you

Is give me love
Give me love,
Give me love
Till the day I die,
Till the day I die

Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love.
Till the day I die
Give me love,
Give me love,
Give me love.
Till the day I die

Till the day I die...
