You Make It Hard

You make it Hard Baby
To stay in love with you
You make me weak baby
That’s why I stay in love with you
You do me right
That’s how I stay in love with you
You do me wrong
But I’m still in love with you
You make it hard baby
To stay in love with you

His Strings Are Silent
03:21
|
|||
He made it Real
He played Guitar
He sang some songs
While people danced, kissed and fought
Some Black Label
And a cowboy hat
The girls all loved him
They really did
I never saw
The unhappy man
He seemed to be
Lovin Life
I guess we can’t know
What goes on inside
How this all seems
Through another’s eyes
Then one day
I got the news
In his garage
He met his Muse
Sometimes I wonder
What would have been
He made the music
But now his strings are silent
Years come and go
We we went our separate ways
Still play music
Still lovin life.
When I hear a song
He used to sing
I know hIs life is
Worth remembering.
I never saw
The unhappy man
He seemed to be
Lovin Life
I guess we can’t know
What goes on inside
How this all seems
Through another’s eyes
Then one day
I got the news
In his garage
He met his Muse
Sometimes I wonder
What would have been
He made the music
But now his strings are silent

Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
I don’t care
If you can’t dance
I don’t care
About romance
I don’t care
To take you home
I don’t care
If you’re not alone
You have to
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
If you move
Out of time
If you dance
Out of line
If you sweat
Through your clothes
It’s a good thing baby
When it shows
You have to
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
You don’t have to
Like this song
You don’t have to
Sing along
You don’t have to
Act so cool
Keep on movin
Move move move
You have to
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Doesn’t matter
Who’s on the phone
Doesn’t matter
Where you call home
Doesn’t matter
If I’m your fool
One thing matters
Start to move
You have to
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me
Move your body with me

Suspicious
03:42
|
|||
Don’t be suspicious
So we don’t have to fight
Don’t worry baby
If I stay out all night
You’re the only one
In this whole wide world
I don’t ever want
Any other girl
When I first met yo
I really didn’t know
If e’d get together
if our love would grow
But as time went on
From halfway round the world
You came here to live with me
So far so good, Can’t you see?
Don’t be suspicious
So we don’t have to fight
Don’t worry baby
If I stay out all night
You’re the only one
In this whole wide world
I don’t ever want
Any other girl
If I stay out
Till 5 AM
You know it’s because I need
To talk with my friend
It’s not because
I’m out with some skeezer
It’s usually just because
I had to talk with Caesar
But Don’t be suspicious
So we don’t have to fight
Don’t worry baby
If I stay out all night
You’re the only one
In this whole wide world
I don’t ever want
Any other girl
If I talk to the girl
At the checkout stand
If I smile at a chica
At the cuccina
If I check out some skirt
If I look at some sweater
You know I love you baby
Let’s stay together
Don’t be suspicious
So we don’t have to fight
Don’t worry baby
If I stay out all night
You’re the only one
In this whole wide world
I don’t ever want
Any other girl
So here I am
Don’t know what else to say
Except I love you
Every single day
Let’s spend some money
Le’ts have some fun
It’s really not so hard to see
You’re the only girl for me
Don’t be suspicious
So we don’t have to fight
Don’t worry baby
If I stay out all night
You’re the only one
In this whole wide world
I don’t ever want
Any other girl
Don’t be suspicious
So we don’t have to fight
Don’t worry baby
If I stay out all night
You’re the only one
In this whole wide world
I don’t ever want
Any other girl

One Time

One TIme
One time I’d like to win
This time
You really should give in
It wouldn’t be the first time
And It won’t be the last
A guy like me got up the nerve
And asked you to dance
And One time
One time I’d like to win
This time
I’d like to be the one
This time
It’s not just all in fun
We’ve known each other for awhile
We’ve had some happy times
We know each other’s families
I’m ready to start mine
This time
I’d like to be the one
How can I get you
To listen to me
It isn’t easy I’m a little bit shy
I stumble on words
Make a fool of myself
But listen baby
I’m going crazy
I want to be with you
One time
I’d like to hear a yes
This time
I love you I confessed
I’m on my knee I’m asking you
For more than just romance
Let’s make a happy life for us
I’m asking for that chance
One time
One time I’d like to hear that yes

Drivin in My Car
03:45
|
|||
Headin to the 110,
Start on Gaffey st
Love to see the harbor,
The view can’t be beat
Watchin out for people
Walkin in the road
Pickup trucks and busses
It’s a heavy load
Getting through the stoplights
One by One
Try to keep my cool
But this aint no fun
Just got on the freeway
Start to feel fine
Finally get some open road
I Let the engine wind
I love drivin in my car
When no one is around
Love drivin on the freeway
Not so much in town
I like the windows open,
Wind blown through my hair
No one else in front of me
Drivin to nowhere
Love drivin in my car
Love drivin in my car
Now i’m on the Harbor
Passin PCH
Cruising in the passing lane
80 MPH
Some weenie in a Prius
Likes to tailgate
I think I’ll be nice today
And change my lane
Runnin late for woik,
But the car feels good
It’s nice to have the power
Underneath the hood
Past the 91
Past the 105
Jump in the express lanes
I Start to feel alive
Love drivin in my car
When no one is around
Love drivin on the freeway
Not so much in town
I like the windows open,
Wind blown through my hair
No one else in front of me
Drivin to nowhere
Love drivin in my car
Love drivin in my car
Getting to the 10,
Everything thing stops
Crawling to the 101
Then it opens up
Getting to the tunnels
Cal trans and a wreck
Break lights WHATUP
KNX?
Connector to the 5
Got to slow down
A wall of trucks
Comin from downtown
Almost into Burbank
Finally I’m movin
One more spot at Olive
Then I’m where I’m goin
Love drivin in my car
When no one is around
Love drivin on the freeway
Not so much in town
I like the windows open,
Wind blown through my hair
No one else in front of me
Drivin to nowhere
Love drivin in my car
Love drivin in my car

Bad Vlad
04:16
|
|||
You know he’s Bad Vlad Putin
Because he’s Bad Vlad Putin
You know he’s Bad Vlad Putin
He’s a bad bad man.
Made is name in the KGB
Working in East Germany
When the wall was taken down
He Went to Petersberg,
His home town.
96 he got called in
To Moscow and the Kremlin.
Yeltsin didn’t see anything sinister
In 99 Vlad’s the new Prime Minister,
You know he’s Bad Vlad Putin
Because he’s Bad Vlad Putin
You know he’s Bad Vlad Putin
He’s a bad bad man.
When Acting as the President
Vlad decided how things went
Elected again inY2K
Took the Power so he could stay
In 08 He gave the office to Medvedev
But the truth is that he never left
Vlad kept the Power in his hands
And all control of Russian lands
As soon as he could When time was up
Nano President was voted out
Vlad marched his troops Into Georgia and Ukraine
Expanding Russia once again
He ignores the West and all the sanctions
Puts his country first among all nations
Some people love him
Some people don’t
It doesn’t matter how they vote
Yuschenko, Nemtsov, Kara-Murza
Berezovsky, Markelov
Baburova, and Magnitsky
Estemirova, Politkovskaya
Litvinenko, Klebnikov
Limonov and now Navalny
Khordokovsky, Pussy Riot
In the end, they all fall quiet
I want to be like him
You know he’s Bad Vlad Putin
He always seems to win
Because he’s Bad Vlad Putin
The man has lots of class
You know he’s Bad Vlad Putin
I bet he kicks your…
He’s a bad bad man.

The City
04:58
|

Well, I slept last night in the open
Down by a redwood tree
Yes, I slept last night in the open
Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to go,
I don’t want to go back into the city.
It’s just a long long long lonely taxi ride
Going nowhere.
Well, I slept last night in the open
(It gets so hot in the city)
Down by a redwood tree
(It gets so hot in the city)
Yes, I slept last night in the open
Just to let, just to let, just to let my soul free.
I don’t want to know, I don’t want to go,
I don’t want to go back into the city.
It’s just a long long long lonely taxi ride
Going nowhere.

Ain't Got Time
03:56
|
|||
I aint got time,
I aint got time for your blues
I aint got time,
I aint got time for your blues
I gots things to do,
And no time for your blues
I work all day
Play all night
Come home late,
Grab a bite
Brush my teeth
Lay down and then
Wake up early do it all again
I aint got time,
I aint got time for your blues
I gots things to do,
And no time for your blues
I have a lover,
Sometimes two
So I don’t need to get
Over you
They treat me right
They’re treat me nice
I don’t want to tell you twice
I aint got time,
I aint got time for your blues
I gots things to do,
And no time for your blues
I think my time
Is running short
I don’t want to hear
No news report
I want to dance
And have some fun
If you can hang
Baby You’re the one
But
I aint got time,
I aint got time for your blues
I gots things to do,
And no time for your blues

Stand Up
03:33
|
|||
You got to stand up
In a quiet way
You don’t have to shout
What you have to say
If people will listen
You’ll catch their ear
If their mind is made up
They’ll never hear
All this talk
All this chatter
What you deserve
It shouldn’t matter
The Deceiver has passed
The false for the true
To see past the lies
Is up to you
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
Even though you can do it
Maybe you shouldn’t
Even though you can say it
MIght be best to delay it
There are other people
Different than you
Some times to stand down
Is the right thing to do
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
If you have some words
For the person next door
Remember what
restraint is for
If you make a mistake
you can set it right
Don’t go to sleep
Mad at night
Sitting down is standing up,
It’s all what’s in your head
Make sure in the future You won’t
Regret What you said
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
You got to stand up
You got to stand up

I saw you in the nightclub
Dancin on the floor
Liked the way you move that thing
I’d like to see some more
Uh Huh
I only want to talk with you
Your dancin drives me crazy
But I only want to talk with you
We can talk about the weather
We can talk about your ex
We can talk about the birds and bees
Let’s talk about your next
Uh Huh
I only want to talk with you
No subject is taboo
I only want to talk with you
Let’s talk in my apartment
Let’s talk inside my car
Let’s talk in the nightclub
Sittin at the bar
Let’s talk inside the movies,
Let’s talk here on the floor
Let’s talk until we have to sleep
Then talk a little more
Uh Huh
I only want to talk with you
Don’t matter where we are
I only want to talk with you
Let’s to Muddy Waters
Let’s talk to Marvin Gaye
Let’s talk to BB King!
Let’s talk to Stevie Ray
Let’s talk to Otis Redding
Let’s talk to Billy Paul
Let’s talk to Little Walter
And the Texas Cannonball!
Uh Huh
I only want to talk with you
Don’t matter who’s been playin
I only want to talk with you
Lets’ talk about tomorrow
Let’s talk about last night
Let’s talk before we go to sleep
Cause talking feels so right
Uh Huh
I only want to talk with you
Don’t matter when we do it
I only want to talk with you.
