Wanted You Too Much
04:45
|
|||
I said I couldn’t help the way I feel
But everybody knows that it can’t be real
When you just meet a woman—
How can you fall in love…
I tried to follow you around everywhere you go
Try to catch your smile and never let you know
I’m burnin’ for you
I gotta have your touch
But now I’m gonna have to see
These things ain’t ever gonna be
I didn’t know it would be so tough
I just wanted you too much
No woman ever looked this way to me
I can’t seem to tell real life from dreams
I’m starting to break—I think I just might fall
I’ve tried to give it up but my feet won’t move
If I don’t get some relief I don’t know what I will do
I want to talk to you, but I just can’t call
But now I’m gonna have to see
These things ain’t ever gonna be
I didn’t know it could be so tough
I guess I wanted you too much
I know I’m only hurting myself
I’m out here building my own hell
But if I can’t get my head to clear soon
I’m afraid that I’ll start hurtin’ you
Last night I guess it got the best of me
Outside your house at a quarter to three
I saw you with him, it really tore me up
I bit my jaw and tried to hold my rage
But the bad in me had done left its cage
Oh the pain we cause, in the name of love
But now I’m gonna have to see
Some things ain’t ever sposed to be
I didn’t know I could be so rough
I just wanted you too much

Poor Little Rich Girl
03:44
|
|||
Poor little rich girl, what makes you cry.
If it’s a man you want, something daddy can’t buy.
All your money won’t buy you love.
Poor little rich girl. It just ain’t enough.
Repeat
Hush little baby don’t say a thing,
daddy gonna buy you a diamond ring.
Don’t you worry cuz late at night,
that diamond ring can hold you tight.
Poor little rich girl.
Repeat
Hush little baby, don’t say a word.
I think somebody might have overheard.
Have you been seen with a common man?
Your daddy won’t ever let you have your hand.
Daddy says it’s for the better.
But that’s a lie.
That boy can give you something money can’t buy.
Poor little rich girl.
Hush, hush
Hush, hush
Repeat
Hush my little baby.
A love affair kept in the dark,
Rich girl breaks poor man’s heart.
He’s barely good enough to work on the farm
Guess you got your money to keep you warm.
Poor little rich girl.

You Make Me
02:46
|
|||
You make me want your body
You make you want your soul
You make me want to follow
Wherever you might go
And I don’t care about fortune
And I don’t care about the truth
And I don’t care what the people gonna say
You make me do what I do
Some people long for power
Some people want for gold
Some people count their hours
Their lives are bought and sold
And I don’t care about the wealthy
What they say may be true
In some eyes I may have nothing at all
You make me do what I do.
You make me give my body
You make me give my soul
You make me have to follow
Wherever you might go
And I don’t care about the future
All our days are still too few
I don’t care what tomorrow may bring
You make me do what I do.

Work
03:26
|
|||
Things ain’t as good as they ought to be
I thought I loved you and you loved me.
What’s up…what’s going on
Then you think I’m coming back for more
I put in my notice and I’m out the door
I ain’t gonna work for you no more
You got a glass in your hand all the time
I had to pay for every bottle of wine
This ain’t the way things supposed to be
Loving you, woman, made a slave outta me
What’s up…what’s going on (what’s going on)
Just when you think I’m coming back for more
Put in my notice, I’m out the door
I ain’t gonna work for you no more
You treat me like a paid for slave
Try to send me to and early grave
So I pack up my bags and I’m hitting the road
Ain’t none of your business where I’m gonna go
And don’t try to tell me what I’m gonna miss
Anywhere on the map will be better than this
I know you’re thinking I’ll be back for more
See my tail going out the door
I ain’t gonna work for you no more
(I’m gone…work no more, work no more)

Dreams
04:28
|
|||
Yesterday’s gone
And tomorrow is not promised
With everything wrong
How will you get along…without your baby…
I don’t understand
How everything happens
You do all that you can
With a stroke of God’s hand…you’ve lost your baby…
What ya gonna do when the lights go down
Seems like your whole damn life you’re losing ground…
Who’s gonna be there when you call
Who’s gonna catch you when you fall
I call out to you
But you will not answer
Your dreams are so strong
You’ve chased them so long…You’ve lost your baby…
What ya gonna do when the lights go down
Seems like your _____ life you’re losing ground…
Who’s gonna be there when you call
Who’s gonna catch you when you fall
Yesterday’s gone
And tomorrow is not promised
With everything wrong
How will you get along without your baby
You’re out on the sea
Adrift in your anger
You try and you try
And you cry and you cry…without your baby

Nobody
03:59
|

I don’t need nobody
Now that I have you
I don’t want for nothin’
You’ve made my dreams come true
Baby, I don’t need nobody
Cause of all the things you do
Don’t need a drink of water baby
All I need is you
Talk to me girl, make it sweet girl
Just say the things you always do
Hold me close and say you love me the most
Cause you know I’m so in love with you
I don’t need nobody
Now that I have you
I don’t want for nothin’
You’ve made my dreams come true
Baby, I don’t need nobody
Cause of all the things you do
Don’t need a drink of water baby
All I need is you
Come to me now and let this be how
Oh—the way the movie lovers do
You’re so fine and you’re mine all mine
Can’t wait to put my hands on you
I don’t need nobody
Now that I have you
I don’t want for nothin’
You’ve made my dreams come true
Baby, I don’t need nobody
Cause of all the things you do
Don’t need a drink of water baby
All I need is you

Dangerous
04:02
|
|||
I guess your life ain’t all it should be
I know it can only be my fault
If I ever stole the smallest bit of happiness
I surely would be caught
And this feeling ain’t healthy
I know this feeling just ain’t right
I’m feeling a little dangerous tonight
I’m growing a little bitter
A little spiteful in my old age
But I’d trade everything I own
For one night outside this cage
And this feeling ain’t healthy
I know this feeling just ain’t right
I’m feeling a little dangerous tonight
I’m feeling a little dangerous tonight
Every time I see a sad movie
Bad thoughts won’t let me be
In my heart I know every tear-jerking song
Surely was written about me
And this feeling ain’t healthy
I know this feeling just ain’t right
I’m feeling a little dangerous tonight
I’m feeling a little dangerous tonight

Sweet Sweet
04:45
|
|||
Don’t know where you’re going
What you’re gonna do
The men and the party
Made a mess of you
Child in the back room
Cries in the night
Ain’t nobody helping
Everything’s a fight
Sweet, sweet Cindy
All night long
Sweet, sweet Cindy
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Love’s lost angel
Can’t find home
Sweet, sweet Cindy
Gone, gone, gone
Looking for the answers
Burning in your heart
Bright light shining
But everything is dark
The Lord’s gonna give it
And take it all away
Run from the pain, girl
To live another day
Sweet, sweet Cindy
All night long
Sweet, sweet Cindy
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Love’s lost angel
Can’t find home
Sweet, sweet Cindy
Gone, gone, gone
It’s only what they owe you
Take it while you can
But with your heart turned into stone
Can you love another man?
Well you made it what you want it
You got it while you could
But your heart is in a bottle
Your soul misunderstood
But no one’s gonna take your
Mind away again
Keep your feet planted
Where they always shoulda been
Sweet, sweet Cindy
All night long
Sweet, sweet Cindy
Wrong, wrong, wrong
Love’s lost angel
Can’t find home
Sweet, sweet Cindy
Gone, gone, gone

Get It Gone
03:31
|
|||
Listen up, I got something to say
This ain’t how I roll, this ain’t how I play
You said we be together
You said we got a plan
I get home from work
And you at the house with another man
Get it up,
Get it out
And get it gone…so long
You was looking so damn good
I had to let you in
Now all that bad stuff
Is coming ‘round again
It’s making me sick
To have to see your face
But I’m promising you
Somebody else is gonna take your place
Get it up,
Get it out
And get it gone…so long
I couldn’t wait to get at you
Had to make you mine
Now you hangin round this damn house
Just doggin’ me all the time
Time for something different
Time for moving on
Well get you stuff together girl
It’s time for you to done be gone
Get it up,
Get it out
And get it gone…so long

Everybody knows
where all my money goes.
I‘ve needed you for so long.
Where did I go wrong

Everybody knows.
All my friends can see that you’re still hurting me.

Are you gonna go? Everybody knows.

I think I’m letting go. Everybody knows…
Everybody knows…
