What Kind Of Woman
03:34
|
|||
What kind of fool
Would fall in love and do all the things
That I’ve been doing for you
What kind of fool
Would think about us together
Going to the dance, roses and romance
I’d never, never, never get tired of you
What kind of fool
Would think a bout the future and
Imagine it with a woman like your kind
What kind of fool
Would read the sealed letter
You wrote to a friend
Turned out to be the man
Whose name you been calling
When I made love to you
What kind of woman
Would take a man like me
It ain’t to hard to see
I’m not where it’s at
What kind of fool
Would think that we could be
Put me to the test
I’ll try my best
To proof to you that I ain’t no fool
I wanna make you see
I can make you see
But please don’t cause me no pain
What kind of woman

Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
Let me tell you about the night we met
Gone out dancing and she got in my head
Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
I met this girl, she said came from Queens
And I ain’t no sociologist, but I know what that means
(Ohh oh oh oh ho) I asked her to dance
(Ohh oh oh oh ho) I held her real tight
The next thing I knew it was the end of the night
Went to her upscale, uptight neighbourhood
I had to sit upright, hair tight, I understood
And as my heels ticked on the marble it does feel good
I might have nicked some silver if I was Robin Hood
Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
Breakfast in the dining room, elbows off the table
Technicolor TV, fifteen channels of cable
Her daddy asks me when I’ll get my college degree
Who does he think I am? Bob Kennedy?
(Ohh oh oh oh ho) I told him the truth and
(Ohh oh oh oh ho) He thought was goofing
(Ohh oh oh oh ho) He said he liked my wit
He put his arms around me, then he said
Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
Oh oh, let me tell you ‘bout my baby
To her upscale, uptight neighbourhood
(Upscale, uptight neighbourhood)
I had to sit upright, hair tight, I understood
(Upright, hair tight, I understood)

Oh yeah!
The last time we did this it was summertime
And the grass was high and the wind was low
The last time we did this it was oh so fine
Never felt so good, never felt so right
It’s been a cold and lonely winter
Without the warmth of your touch
Spring is here and the sky’s wide open
Come on feel the rush
Hear me singing
For you girl
Na na na na na na na na
The first time I saw you yeah you sure looked fine
With your hair up high, darling me oh mine
No, I didn’t get your number but I got your name
Had to sit and wait till we’d meet again
You’ve got me head over heels
I’m in love with everything that you do
Come on let’s do it again
Pick up my heart where you left it
The last time we did this it was summertime
And the grass was high and the wind was low
The last time we did this it was oh so fine
Never felt so good, never felt so right
Hear me singing
For you girl
Na na na na na na na na
Hear me singing
For you girl
Na na na na na na na na

What a View
03:30
|
|||
A summer evening in the park (lying on the grass)
My little lady and I
Tall white buildings are scraping the sky
Tuxedo men and ball gown girls
The other side of town might be the other side of the world
It’s as distant to me as the man that they just put on the moon
Oh what a view, what a view
Imagine all the things a little money can do
But don’t need it, I’m fine
I got you by my side
You bring me more than any money could buy
As we were leaving the park (walking hand in hand)
Just us alone in the dark
I said baby we could reach for the stars
Shining through the night sky and light up the world
Bonafide men and good looking girls
We might just get there in the morning
After a sweet sweet night of sleep
Oh what a view, what a view
Imagine all the things that money can do
But don’t need it, I’m fine
I got you by my side
You bring me more than any money could buy
We’re on a tropical island, stay in a suite
10 dollar dinners fancy shoes on our feet
But then your whispering in my ear
Woke me right up from the dream
Oh what a view, what a view
You can dream all you want but it don’t make it true
Better make a little money
Or I’ll stop calling you honey
Oh what a view, what a view
Imagine all the things that money will do
But don’t need it, I’m fine
I got you by my side, oh
You bring me more than any money could buy
(Goodbye)

Thunderchild
02:22
|
|||
I was born one morning
In a big black cloud
The rain was pouring
And the wind was howling
I’m a thunder child
Let my thunder drown you out
Driving around town
In my big black Ford
The thing on top
That’s a lighting rod
I’m a thunderchild
My thunder drives you wild
Pressure drops
Time will stop
When I find you in that open field
I’ll come inside
With the speed of light
It’ll be over in the blink of an eye
I’m a thunderchild
Let my thunder drown you out
Pressure drops
Time will stop
When I find you in that open field
I’ll come inside
With the speed of light
It’ll be over in the blink of an eye
(Thunderchild)
Ah, lighting speed
(Thunderchild)
I’m a thunderchild
(Thunderchild)
After the thunder child gone thunder wild
(Thunderchild)
I’m a thunderchild!
(Thunderchild)
Thunderchild!

I'm Gone
04:28
|

I’m going I’m going
I’m going back where I belong
I’m going I’m going
I’m going back where I belong
I don’t want no trouble please
I don’t mean no harm
I’m going, I’m gone
Mama please, mama please
Don’t you beg me down upon your knees
Mama please, mama please
Don’t you beg me down upon your knees
Say I won’t, but I will
When I’m back I’m sure I’ll love you still
‘Caus I’m a little crazy, I’m a little mad
Mama don’t you be so upset
‘Caus I’m a little crazy, I’m a little mad
Mama don’t you be so upset
Yeah your boy is gone away
And I won’t return
Let me go and I’ll stop my yearning
Don’t you worry ‘cause I do remember
All the good times we had
I’ll be looking out for you
But you’re a big girl, and it’s a small world

Alabama Small Town
03:46
|
|||
I've got dreams and a longing .
Not a dime in my pocket
Not a soul at the station
Of the Grey Hound Line
Just got back from Betty (sweet Betty)
Said we're gonna get married
She just turned eighteen
If you know what I mean
And I'm one call away from leaving
Two days away from LA
Three words removed from marriage
But I got to get a away
Been singing songs from the bible
But half the words I don't understand
Make me feel like a stranger
In a strange land
One chance in a million
That's what my papa just to say
Before he packed his belongings
And he went away
And I'm one call away from leaving
Two days away from LA .
Three stars to guide me
I'm on my way
Alabama Small Town
Dreaming of the big time, yeah!
Alabama Small Town
Dreaming of the big time, yeah!
Now I'm sitting here dreaming
I waved goodbye to the man
Reading his magazine
At the hotdog stand
Clutched in my hand
Is a one way ticket
I don't care if I'm crawling
As long as I make it, oh!
Alabama Small Town
Dreaming of the big time, yeah!
Alabama Small Town
Dreaming my life away
Bye, Bye, Alabama
Fare thee well

Baby won’t you bring it to me
Come on baby won’t you bring it to me

Man Up!
02:38
|
|||
Man up!
Oh I can hear them say
Man up!
I been working at the gold mine a 1000 miles from home
Jungle fever with jungle cats eating jungle bugs and jungle rats
Big boss man, city lights
Look how the diamonds on their fingers shine
I keep looking at my own bare hands
Man up! I just wanna go home
Man up! Been digging up nothing but bones
Man up! Oh, I can ear them say
Just last winter when my buddy Jim, we were the best of friends
I found him in a hurry, running out that quarry with a nugget in his hand
Goodbye friend, city lights
Look how the diamonds on his fingers shine
I keep looking at my own bare hands
When I do find, that chunk of gold
I hope my blood hasn’t run cold
When I buy that diamond ring
I’m gonna walk down the street and sing
Man up! To every guy I see
Man up! That’s a guarantee
Man up! Just wait in line
Man up! Down at the gold mine

(Something In My) Pocket
02:32
|
|||
I've got something in my pocket
Everybody’d like to know
What is the nature of my secret
Why don’t I take it out and show it
I’ve had it since a day or two
And I don’t know if I should hock it or stock it
I found it in a hidden place
And I put it in my pocket
Now I’m the king of the neighbourhood
I walk with a swagger down the streets
Don’t think I ever felt this good
Don’t think I ever felt this sweet
Oh, I should give it back, to the one that it belongs to
Oh, I promise you that I am not a thief
But if I keep to myself
No one could ever tell
I’ll keep it safe, from robbery and deceit

I got a woman
Said she want me but she run me right down
I got a feeling she been wheelin’
Double dealin’ with another guy
She got me stranded
Should I end it or pretend it just a lie
These accusations, humiliations got my head going awry
Hey child, gonna turn it around
I’m tired of moanin’ and a groanin’ for you
Hey child, quit your messin’ around
I’m gonna call your mama, tell on you
You gotta find another fool
You see me ramble
In back streets, dead beat and outta time
You got me scrambled
If my tears were dollars I’d be fine
Hey child, gonna turn it around
I’m tired of moanin’ and a groanin’ for you
Hey child, quit your messin’ around
I’m gonna call your mama, tell on you
You gotta find another fool

Southern California
02:48
|
|||
Early in the morning or late at night
Some time gonna miss me, the way that I held you tight
Gotta get out of the freeze, put my mind at ease
I’m going down to
Southern California, where the trees grow tall
Southern California, where the snow don’t fall
Southern California, way down to
Pack my dreams in a brown duffle bag and skip right outta town
Gotta ditch these hard times, let the sunshine erase my frown
Side of the road, thumb in the air hitching for a ride
Down to
Southern California, rollerskate girl
southern California, I’m on top of the world
Southern California, going down to
Get me a job where I don’t have to work no no no heavy lifting
Build me a car and a Fender guitar, gonna play until my fingers bleed
A truck-ful of heartbreak and a trunk-ful of spite
Moon half full and a stomach empty
Howling through the night
I’m a dog of a dog of a dog
Going down to
Southern California, where the sea meets the sand
Southern California, where a man makes friends
Southern California, going down to
See me ripping up the black top like it ain’t nobody’s business
Skip the line it’s Soul-Cream time
Can I get a witness? (yeah!)
Southern California, it’s a speed machine
Southern California, grease it with Soul-Cream!
Southern California, going down to
Southern California

Pawn Shop Lady
03:05
|
|||
Pawn shop lady, be my baby
Will you be my girl
Diamond rings & pretty things
We all know what they’re worth
But it’s much harder to put a price
On the things I feel inside
And if my heart’s only worth a dime
I’d gladly sell it to you baby
Five for this fiddle ten for a teevee
How much for my heart
Many wander in
Take their pay squander it
Down at the Dog House Bar
But I can guarantee
Your bond is safe with me
Oh I, I know
It’s so hard to put a price
On the things I feel inside
But if you think my heart’s only worth a dime
I’d gladly sell it to you baby
Many nights have passed
Now you’re mine at last
What belongs to you belongs to me
You got my pawn for free
And it’s so hard to put a price
On the things a man feels inside
You know my heart was on the line
I’m glad I sold it to you baby
