Write a Song
Write a song, won't take long
Write a tune, it’s what you gotta do
To make a splash, maybe a little bit of cash
Write a song, baby, go and write a song
Find clever rhymes to fill the lines
The right key, a pretty melody
To play the game, become a household name
Write a song, baby, go and write a song
Then when you're done, give it a run
Let the keys take the lead
Make sure the bass is not too high
And that the drummer’s glass ain’t dry
You got your song, baby, now you got your song
But then the trick to get a gig
Is to be hip & in the clique
You gotta know who runs the show
And be all smiles and big brown eyes
You gotta beg, you gotta wait
Before you maybe book a date –
Well, baby, that’s just how it goes
So plug along, sing your song
Maybe one day, it might get radio play
Until that time, please don’t lose your sweet mind
Just move on, baby, keep movin’ on
Just move on, baby, keep moving on
Maybe write another song
Maybe write another song
Maybe write another…

Bad Girl
You say you just wanna hang out
See what the fuss is all about
You think you’re safe from where you stand
Just wait until I take your hand
You’ll hang on every word I say
Hoping that I’ll let you stay
You think that maybe I’ll play nice
But I ain’t sugar, honey (BREAK) –-- I am spice
Yah, I’m a bad girl
I’m a bad girl
I may not be the baddest in the world
But I’m a bad, bad, bad girl
It’s clear to me you don’t have a clue
What I’m about to do to you
I’ll break your mind, I’ll leave my mark
I’ll calm your fever in the dark
I’ll let you see what you want to see
The fire that rages inside of me
Will burn you up and drive you wild
I’ll leave you crying like a child
Cuz I’m a bad girl
Yeah, I’m a bad girl
I may not be the baddest in the world
But I’m a bad, bad, bad girl

THAT MAN
That man loves me real good
That man do just what he should
That man will always be true
That man could be you
That man could be you
That man gives me a great big smile
That man will walk the extra mile
That man sings a grateful tune
That man could be you
That man could be you
That man do just what I like
That man will take a midnight hike
That man cooks up a tasty stew
That man could be you
That man could be you
Well, that man’s in my bed at night
He’s still there in the morning light
He’ll go and work hard all day long
Then he comes home at night singing my song
That man keeps my motor purring
Makes sure my joy keeps reoccurring
That man wll never leave me blue
That man could be you
That man could be you
Well, that man’s in my bed at night
He’s still there in the morning light
He’ll go and work hard all day long
Then he comes home at night singing my song
That man… yah that man
What I say that man will do
That man could be you
That man could be you
That man could be, that man should be, that man would be you

RAINING AGAIN
It’s raining again, a slow cold drizzle
Another day miserable without you
It’s raining again, no day at the beach
You’re not in my reach... I miss you
You’re the one who always brings the sun shine
You’re the one who always brings blue skies
You’re the one who always bring a smile to my face
But you’re the one I know I’ll never see in this place
It’s raining again, my heart's a cloud
I’m crying out loud, can’t you hear me ____
There’ll always be rain, there’ll always be rain
There’ll always be rain till you kiss me
again____

SOMEBODY FIX ME
FRIDAY NIGHT I STARTED MY FIRST FIST FIGHT
GOT ME KICKED OUT OF THE BAR
WHEN I WENT STUMBLING THROUGH THE PARKING LOT
YOU KNOW, I COULD NOT FIND MY CAR
SO I BUMMED A RIDE FROM BESSIE
MY OLD SCHOOL FRIEND - SHE SAID
“HONEY WHERE YOU WANNA GO?”
BUT ALL I COULD SAY IS - I THINK THIS MIGHT BE THE END,
AND I’M FEELING SICK, SO COULD YOU DRIVE ME SLOW
BECAUSE MY MAN HE UP AND LEFT ME, LEFT ME IN THE DUST
DOCTOR, LAWYER, BANKER - TELL ME WHO CAN I TRUST
SOMEBODY FIX ME, FIX ME FROM HEAD TO TOE
YOU BETTER DROP ME A LINE OR ELSE
YOU’RE LEAVING ME OUT IN THE COLD
YOU KNOW THAT MAN OF MINE, WELL HE WAS ONE OF A KIND
HE NEVER EVER TREATED ME WRONG
HE WAS A SWEET KIND OF MAN, WHO KEPT ME STRAIGHT IN LINE BUT NOW HE’S GOT ME SINGING THIS LOW-DOWN SONG
AND I AIN’T GOT NOBODY TO COME AROUND & HELP ME GET WELL
WHEN ALL I DO IS DRINK AND CRY
PREACHER MAN SAID BABY "WHY DON’T U HELP YOURSELF?"
BUT I’M TOO DOWN LOW TO EVEN TRY
AND NOW I DRANK UP ALL MY BRANDY,
FINISHED ALL MY WINE
I NEED YOUR LOVE CANDY, MAKE ME FEEL SO FINE
SOMEBODY FIX ME, FIX ME FROM HEAD TO TOE
YOU GOTTA DROP ME A LINE OR ELSE
YOU’RE LEAVING ME OUT IN THE COLD
I WAS A REAL GOOD GIRL FOR MOST OF MY EARLY LIFE,
I FIGURED SOMEDAY I’D MAKE SOME MAN A REAL GOOD WIFE
I ALWAYS WASH MY KNICKERS, PRESS MY BLUE, BLUE JEANS
I GOT NO IDEA HOW I GOT SO MEAN
AND NOW MY MAN HE UP AND LEFT ME, LEFT ME IN THE DUST
DOCTOR, LAWYER, BANKER - TELL ME WHO CAN I TRUST
SOMEBODY FIX ME, FIX ME FROM HEAD TO TOE
YOU GOTTA DROP ME A LINE OR ELSE
YOU’RE LEAVING ME OUT IN THE COLD

WASTING MY LOVE
YOU CAME ALONG ON A MAY DAY, YOU BROUGHT ME LOVE IN THE SPRING
NOW I KNOW THAT MAY DAY NEVER MEANT A THING
I'M JUST A LONELY ROMANCER RIGHT AT THE END OF MY ROPE
THOUGH I'VE HAD YOUR ANSWER I CAN'T GIVE UP HOPE
I'M IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LOVE ME
AN' THAT'S WHY I'M BLUER THAN BLUE
WASTING MY TIME, WASTING MY LOVE ON YOU – JUST YOU
I'M JUST LIKE A LOVEBOAT THAT'S SAILING THE SEA
WITHOUT ANY CAPTAIN OR CREW
WASTING MY TIME, WASTING MY LOVE ON YOU
IF I COULD FORGET YOUR KISS
I'D DISMISS YOU FROM MY MEMORY
BUT THE RAPTURE OF YOUR CHARMS
AND THOSE ARMS THAT USED TO THRILL, HAUNT ME STILL
I'M FOREVER DREAMING OF WHAT USED TO BE
AND MY HEART IS BREAKING IN TWO
WASTING MY TIME, WASTING MY LOVE ON YOU
YOU TOOK ALL MY KISSES, I THOUGHT THAT YOU CARED
NOW, WHAT AM I GOING TO DO
I'VE WASTED MY TIME, WASTED MY LOVE ON YOU – JUST YOU
AND WHEN YOU SEEMED LONESOME, THE HOURS I SHARED
I'D LIVE THEM ALL OVER IT’S TRUE
WASTING MY TIME, WASTING MY LOVE ON YOU, ALL ON YOU
LOVE IS SUCH A FICKLE THING STILL I CLING TO BYGONE MEMORIES
HOW CAN I FORGET THE BLISS OF YOUR KISS
THAT USED TO BURN, HOW I YEARN
EV'RY NIGHT I SCORCH WHILE I CARRY THE TORCH
OH, WHY DO I HAVE TO BE BLUE - WASTING MY TIME,
WASTING MY LOVE ON YOU, JUST YOU.

Remember Me

Remember Me
Remember me, I taught you to kiss
Remember me, I taught you to smile
Who broke your heart right from the start
Do you remember me?
Remember me, I made you dream
Remember me with such evil schemes
Who made you cry till you wanted to die
Do you remember me?
But then one day I let you go
How was I to know?
I needed you so desperately
Do you remember me?
Now that you're gone, gone with someone new
And I'm all alone just thinking about you
She's touching your lips like I used to do
Do you remember me?
I wanna know
Do you?
Tell me

Crazy About You

CRAZY ABOUT YOU
NOW, I’VE BEEN IN THIS BAD PLACE TOO MANY TIMES BEFORE
ALWAYS SEEM TO BE KNOCKING ON THE SAME OLD DOOR
AND JUST IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING IF I’M ALRIGHT
WELL, TAKE A LOOK AT ME – I NEVER SLEEP AT NIGHT
CUZ I’M CRAZY ABOUT YOU, AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO STOP
YOU ALWAYS END UP BRINGING ME DOWN
WHEN YOU SHOULD TAKE ME TO THE TOP
YOU’D THINK THAT I’D KNOW BETTER
THAN TO LOSE MYSELF THIS WAY
BUT I DON’T SEEM TO CARE WHAT MY HEART OR ALL OF YOU SAY
CUZ I’M CRAZY ABOUT YOU, AND I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO
SEEMS EVERY TIME I TRY TO RUN AWAY –
I JUST KEEP RUNNING BACK TO YOU
AND SO I ASKED MY MOMMA, TALKED TO MY BEST FRIEND
SEE IF THEY COULD HELP ME, TO TRY AND UNDERSTAND
HOW ALL THE LOVE I’VE SHOWN YOU HAS FAILED TO MAKE YOU SEE
THE THINGS, OH, ALL THE THINGS YOU COULD BE DOING TO ME
CUZ I’M CRAZY ABOUT YOU, BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW YOU FEEL
YOU GOTTA SHOW ME SOME LOVE, BABY –
YOU GOTTA SHOW ME THIS IS REAL
I’M TOO OLD TO BE WAITING FOR YOU TO COME AROUND
I’M DONE ANTICIPATING FOR YOU TO MAKE A SOUND
I’VE GIVEN YOU MY HEART IN OH SO MANY WAYS
BUT NOW I’VE REACHED THE POINT WHERE I CAN NO LONGER PLAY
MAN, I WAS CRAZY ABOUT YOU,
BUT YOU KEPT ME HANGIN’ ON THE LINE
IT’S SO SAD BUT IT’S THE TRUTH, BABE –
YOU’VE JUST BEEN WASTING MY DAMN TIME
YEAH, IT’S A SHAME BUT THIS IS OVER,
I’VE JUST BEEN WASTING MY DAMN TIME

Tremé

Hangin' in the Treme - watchin' people sashay
Past my steps, by my porch, outside my door
Church bells are ringin', choir girls are singing
While the preachers groan and the sisters moan
In a blessed tone
Down in the Treme, just me and my baby
We're all going crazy
Buck jumping and having fun
Down in the Treme,just me and my baby
We're all going crazy
Buck jumping and having fun
Trumpet bells ringing, bass drum is swinging
As the trombone groans and the big horn moans
there's a saxophone
Down in the Treme, just me and my baby
We're all going crazy
Buck jumping and having fun

I WANT A LIL SUGAR IN MY BOWL
I WANT A LIL SWEETNESS DOWN IN MY SOUL
I COULD USE SOME LOVIN' OH SO BAD
I FEEL SO FUNNY -- I FEEL SO SAD
I WANT A LITTLE STEAM ON MY CLOTHES
MAYBE I CAN FIX THINGS UP SO THEY'LL GO
WHAT'S THE MATTER DADDY, COME ON,
SAVE MY SOUL
I NEED SOME SUGAR IN MY BOWL - I AIN'T FOOLIN'
I WANT SOME SUGAR IN MY BOWL
YOU BEEN ACTING DIFFERENT I'VE BEEN TOLD
SOOTHE ME - I WANT SOME SUGAR IN MY BOWL
I WANT SOME STEAM ON MY CLOTHES
MAYBE I CAN FIX THINGS UP SO THEY'LL GO
WHAT'S THE MATTER DADDY, COME ON, SAVE MY SOUL
I WANT SOME SUGAR IN MY BOWL - I AIN'T FOOLIN'
I WANT SOME SUGAR IN MY BOWL

Fumblin' With The Blues

|
FUMBLIN' WITH THE BLUES
FRIDAY LEFT ME FUMBLIN' WITH THE BLUES
AND IT'S HARD TO WIN WHEN YOU ALWAYS LOSE
'CAUSE THE NIGHTSPOTS SPEND YOUR SPIRIT
BEAT YOUR HEAD AGAINST THE WALL
TWO DEAD ENDS & YOU'VE STILL GOT TO CHOOSE
YA KNOW THE BARTENDERS, THEY ALL KNOW MY NAME
THEY CATCH ME WHEN I'M PULLING UP LAME
AND I'M A POOL-SHOOTING-SHIMMY-SHYSTER
SHAKING MY HEAD
WHEN I SHOULD BE LIVING CLEAN INSTEAD
YOU KNOW, THE FELLAS I'VE BEEN SEEING OFF AND ON
WELL, THEY SPEND YOUR LOVE AND THEN THEY'RE GONE
YOU CAN'T BE LOVIN' SOMEONE WHO IS SAVAGE AND CRUEL
TAKE YOUR LOVE AND THEN THEY LEAVE ON OUT
OF TOWN, YES, THEY DO ---
WELL, NOW FALLIN' IN LOVE IS SUCH A BREEZE
BUT IT'S STANDIN' UP THAT'S SO HARD FOR ME
I WANNA SQUEEZE YOU BUT I'M SCARED TO DEATH
I'D BREAK YOUR BACK
YOU KNOW YOUR PERFUME, WELL, IT WON'T LET ME BE
YOU KNOW THE BARTENDERS ALL KNOW MY NAME
AND THEY CATCH ME WHEN I'M PULLING UP LAME
AND I'M A POOL-SHOOTING-SHIMMY-SHYSTER
SHAKING MY HEAD
WHEN I SHOULD BE LIVING CLEAN INSTEAD
COME ON BABY, LET YOUR LOVE LIGHT SHINE
GOTTA BURY ME INSIDE OF YOUR FIRE
YOUR EYES ARE ‘NUFF TO BLIND ME
YOU'RE LIKE LOOKING AT THE SUN
YOU GOTTA WHISPER TELL ME I'M THE ONE

I Want You
03:57

I WANT YOU
YOU SAT DOWN NEXT TO ME, LIKE POETRY TO WINE
OUR WINDOW LOOKED UPON A YELLOW NEON SIGN
I TOOK YOUR HAND WHILE YOU DECIDED WHAT TO DO
THE ONLY KISS, I EVER MISS, I SHARED WITH YOU
THE OTHER CITIES HOLD NO MEMORY STILL OF A PLACE
BUT WHEN I DREAM OF LONDON I CAN ONLY SEE YOUR FACE
I WANT YOU OR NO ONE - NO ONE ELSE WILL DO
YOU OR NO ONE, CUZ NO ONE IS THE ONLY ONE
TO FILL THE EMPTY SPACE I HOLD FOR YOU
YOU SIMPLIFIED ME DOWN TO SLOGANS ON THE WALL
I TOOK OFFENSE, BUT YOU WERE RIGHT ABOUT THEM ALL
MY FRIENDS ARE TELLING ME I SHOULDN'T WASTE MY TIME
BUT I CAN'T CONCENTRATE UNTIL I MAKE YOU MINE
I'M DRAWING CARDS AND MAKING WISHES DOWN BY THE WELL
WHO WOULD'VE KNOWN I'D LOSE MYSELF IN THAT OLD HOTEL
I WANT YOU OR NO ONE - NO ONE ELSE FOR ME
YOU OR NO ONE, CUZ NO ONE ELSE IS STRONG ENOUGH
STRONG ENOUGH IN TIME TO SET ME FREE
I WANT YOU OR NO ONE - NO ONE ELSE IS FINE
OH, YOU OR NO ONE - CUZ NO ONE IS THE ONLY ONE
TO FILL ME UP UNTIL I MAKE YOU MINE

MAYBE
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME COMING,
THO WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO STAY STRONG
TO KEEP AWAY FROM EACH OTHER
CUZ WE BOTH KNOW THIS IS WRONG
FROM THE FIRST TIME I SAW YOU
I HAD A FEELING I MIGHT BE LOST
AND WHO'S TO SAY THAT EVERY LOVE STORY
WILL BE WORTH ALL IT COULD COST
CUZ YOU KNOW THEY'LL CATCH OUR GLANCES
AND THEY'LL SEE IT IN OUR EYES
YET WE STILL TAKE OUR CHANCES
AND WE KEEP TELLING ALL THESE LIES
SO WHY DON'T WE STOP BEFORE IT ALL FALLS APART
IF WE END IT NOW, THERE'LL ONLY BE ONE BROKEN HEART
AND SO NOW YOU'LL STAY ON YOUR SIDE
AND BABY, I'LL STAY ON MINE
CUZ THERE'S NO PLACE LEFT TO HIDE
AND WE HAD TO DRAW A LINE
WHILE I LONG FOR THE MOMENT
WHEN I WILL FEEL YOU ONCE AGAIN
I HAVE TO GO ON PRETENDING
THAT WE'RE NOTHING MORE THAN FRIENDS
JUST LIKE SOME OLD BROKEN RECORD
THAT STUCK ON PLAYING THE SAME SAD SONG
I KEEP ON TURNING 'ROUND IN CIRCLES
TILL I DON'T KNOW WHERE I BELONG
MAYBE ONE DAY YOU'LL FIND YOUR WAY BACK TO ME
AND I'LL HEAR YOU SAY THAT OUR LOVE WAS MEANT TO BE
