         A        D   A

There she stood in the street,

Dsus2           D           A

Smiling from her head to her feet,

      A         D  A

I said Hey, what is this?

             Dsus2       D         A

Now baby, may be she's in need of a kiss.

 

         A              D    A

I said Hey, what is your name baby?

Dsus2       D              A

Maybe we can see things the same,

Dsus2                D       A

Now don't you wait or hesitate,

          Dsus2        D        A

Let's move before they raise the parking rate, Oh!

 

 

[Chorus]

 

A   D7    A              G   D7    A

All right now, Baby it's all right now,

A   D7    A              G   D7    A

all right now, baby it's all right now.

 

A   D         A          G   D7    A

    Let me tell you now...

 

 

[Verse]

 

           D       A  D

I took her home to my place

Dsus2          D          A

Watching ev'ry move on her face,

         A                 D    A

She said Look, what's your game, baby?

        Dsus2     D         A

are you tryin' to put me in shame?

 

       A     D           A

I said slow, don't go so fast,

Dsus2           D             A

don't you think that love can last?

A              D    A

She said Love, Lord above,

Dsus2            D            A

now you're tryin' to trick me in love.

 

 

[Chorus]

 

A   D7    A              G   D7    A

All right now, Baby it's all right now,

A   D7    A              G   D7    A

all right now, baby it's all right now.

 

A   D         A          G   D7    A

    Let me tell you now...

LYRICS
World class rookie
Am I outta control?
Is this any way
To play rock n’ roll?
Cutter of cookie
Was never for me
Black sheep astray
To play night n’ day
Just give me a chance
You’ll get up n’ dance

No la, la, la?
Sounds kinda droll
Is this any way
To play rock n’ roll?
No formula
No that’s not for me
Black n’ white’s gray
Let’s play all day
Just give me a chance
You’ll get up n’ dance

LYRICS
Getting fooled by fool’s gold
Fool’s gold is getting old
Getting fooled by fool’s gold
Our hearts are growing…
Hearts are growing cold
Taking our parts
Of warming hearts
I’m sold

Starting to dawn
That the victim of con
Perpetrating the con is wrong
Starting to dawn
That the days of song
Could be gone
Taking our parts
Warming of hearts
Is on

LYRICS
You said, “No, don’t”
You said, “I won’t”
But then you did
You said, “No don’t”
You said, “I won’t”
The truth you hid
(The hypocritical kid)

And then you still
Say, “That I will”
But then you don’t
You know you could
You know you should
We know you won’t
(Can’t recant can’t)

Fox the fox, rat up the rat
You can ape the ape, I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
 I can't take any more

You throw your pearls before the swine
 Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Hey, hey, hey, hey (Monkey) Too much at stake

LYRICS
The verdict is in
… and… you didn’t win
Know the jig is up
Time to move on from “has been”
Order in the court
Ruled on the tort
Let there be bliss
Case dismissed

No hurry for a jury
’cause your vision is blurry
Judge has been the judge
Found you had to budge
Order in the court
Ruled on the tort
Let there be bliss
Case dismissed

All feel your appeal
Is unappealing
Should have been real, signed and sealed
That’s the deal
Order in the court
Ruled on the tort
Let there be bliss
Case dismissed

LYRICS
I look into your eyes
TO see if you are there
All that I get
Is a blank stare
Are you there?

To begin again
I ask your motionless chin
Please! I’m beggin’
Are you there?
Life ain’t fair?

Time to wave our bye-byes
If I can’t get your eyes
To rise
Are you there?

bookmark_borderA Love Like Ours

Posted on by admin

LYRICS
Looking for another way to say
“I love you. Yes, I do.”
Doesn’t seem right to be so trite
And say, “I love you. Love me, too?”
Maybe if you look deep in my eyes
You might come to realize
Our love within
Ought to come out
Start and begin
To spread about

Yet, another day looking for a way
To say, “I love you. Yes, I do.”
Need an antidote from being rote
With “I love you. Love me, too?”
Maybe if I look deep in your eyes
We might come to realize
Our love within
Ought to come out
Start and begin
To spread about

LYRICS
Are you sure the departure
Of moisture
Is apparent to see
The rain delivered to the river
And you know the river flow
Will go
To the sea
Follow the flow
And you’ll know where to go
The higher ground
Is where to be found
Are you certain the fortune
Of the fountain
Is apparent to see
The rain delivered to the river
And you know the river flow
Will go
To the sea
Follow the flow
And you’ll know where to go
The higher ground
Is where to be found

LYRICS
We’re in moving pictures
Moved on from still life
No longer mere fixtures
We’re rife with living color
Sure! You be your hue
I’ll have a hing of tint
Together we’ll form a prism
Breaking free from our personal prison

Sure! You be your hue
It’ll be the you-hue
I’ll have a hing of tint
I’m the sublime kind
Together we’ll form a prism
Breaking free from our personal prison

The people that we meet
Quickly move to their feet

Use or lose your judgement

Can’t say everything
Might say something
