He´s gonna be my boy
There’s a boy that I’ve met who’s looking at me
I fell flat cuz he’s really sweet
With a little luck he’s gonna be my boy
He says that he loves me and I go to my knees
He picked me like an apple from an apple tree
With a little luck he’s gonna be my boy
When he says he loves me feel like I could die
We were meant to be
There can be no doubt about it
He talks to me gently and he talk so sweet
And all he wants to do is kiss and hug me
With a little luck he’s gonna be my boy
(I’m the lucky one)
You do
When I’m so tired that I cant speak who’s willing to put me back on my feet
But you, who do, no one but you do
When I’m out of luck and out of money, who still comes around to love me honey
But you, who do, no one but you do
In all the world who’s got it, baby you’re the man
Who turn out the lights and put up a fire
And love me all he can
When I’m down and out and no one wants me who still comes around here to haunt me
But you, who do, no one but you do
Shake this shack
Monday - ain´t no fun at all an ordinary day
Tuesday - seem so long and cold barley just ok
But you can bet when the weekend comes
This real gone mama is real long gone
Than the rock is gonna roll and we’ll shake this shack all right
Than the rock is gonna roll and we’ll shake this shack all right
Mr. Dj don’t mind the clock
I wanna roll, I wanna rock
Wednesday - got to get my self together with lot’s of bills to pay
Thursday - ain´t a darn bit better and that’s all I can say
But when my work is over and the weekend comes
This real gone mama is real long gone
I got to know
Its right there on the kitchen table
A brand new goodbye note
Cuz there’s one thing that this poor hear has got to know
So I left in the morning for the station
Sat there on my case, crying in the rain
Hoping you would catch me before I caught a train
Cus I got to know, I got to know
If you love me too
I got to know, I got to know
Than what would you do
So while you’re making your mind up
I’m gonna see the world
Its not my style to sit and sigh
I’m not that kind of girl
So if you don’t love me baby
Cuz you ain´t never said the word
To sit and sigh is not my style
I’m not that kind of girl
Go young man
He’s got a rhythm that is raw and real
He’s got a feeling that you can feel
He’s got a beat that is hard to beat
Snapping his fingers, stomping his feet
And he can play like a gramophone
All night long, all night long
So go young man (young man go)
Go, go young man (young man go)
Go young man (young man go)
Go young man (young man go)
Go on and show em´ where the cupboard should stand
Go young man, go young man
He’s got a look that looks good on site
So much energy he can bright up a light
When he go to stand on the stand
He looks like a boy, sounding like a man
And he can play like a gramophone
All night long, all night long
Hep hep hep
Tell me baby honest dear
What’s that music that I hear
Alone with you and the moon above
What do you know about love
Tell me baby, is it the wine
That makes me smile like I’ve lost my mind
Turning me in to a turtle dove
What do you know about love
Oh, love love love
A four letter word that can change the world
I believe its true
I never felt like a special girl
Until I met you
So, tell me baby, honest dear
What’s that music that I hear
Alone with you and the moon above
What do you know about love
Hep, hep, hep...
Country lover on my stone
When I be cold, you still be ten times colder
I can’t outrun you in the race
When you get old I look ten times older
Because of you and all your evil ways
And it don’t matter where you put me
It don’t matter where I lay
When I’ll be gone you can throw away my bones
And just write country lover on my stone
You don’t like my style, you don’t like my friends
You don’t like the boys in my band
My hair’s grown wild my eyes has grown ten times wilder
You’re looking at the girl you drew insane
D-day saturday
Exactly 7 a clock, here my baby comes
All dressed up says he’s ready to jump
We gonna have a good time
As long as they will last
We gonna have a ball tonight and spread around the cash
Because its
D- day Saturday, D-day Saturday
D-day Saturday , D-day Saturday
D-day Saturday I see my baby tonight
I know my baby loves me he don’t have to say a word
I know how much he cares for me and I’m such a lucky girl
When comes
D- day Saturday, D-day Saturday
D-day Saturday I see my baby tonight
If we go to a party, if we go see some friends
Or sit tight in a sofa, sipping on a bottle of gin
If we stay home together and turn the lights down dim
It don’t matter what we do as long as I’m with him
Far from over you
I drove all night, made all these miles
But I’m still far from over you
I went this far but apparently I’ve got a slow car
Cuz I’m still far from over you
Why must it be that I just cant forget
Someone who don’t seem to care a bit
My heart just breaks by the though of you
Tell me little baby, what am I to do, huh?
But drive all night still as far from you as I am right now
I’m a long way from over you
Open up
Well I came home when the sun came up
Been up all night, while the moon was up
Through that open window I can hear you snore
But baby you just got to open up that door
Let me in, let me in, let me in open up
Open up, open up, open up let me in
Let me in, let me in, let me in, let me in
Open up, let me in
Now the mailman came with his mighty sack
I looked at him and he looked back
5 minutes passed and somebody screamed freeze
Running up my gate came a police
He said: what your doing sneaking around my block
Screaming up at that window at six a clock
And I said sir: if you care
I just wanna get in I swear
She never knew
Here you come, ain´t looking to good
Saying to me how you feel miss understood
She never knew, what it took to be a man like you
I guess baby an apology wont do
Sheeting on her was awful mean and untrue
She never knew just what it took to be a man like you
Your feeling low now
Honey what a shame
While you get over it she can never love again
Here you come, might as well let you in
So you can cry your blues off, and draw that same refrain
She never knew just what I took to be a man like you
Your feeling low now
Honey what a shame
While you can always heal she can never love again
Little cupid
One love in life comes so wrong for being so right
Little cupid please, make it how it should be
True love, true hearts but something always keep us apart
Little cupid please, make it how it should be
I’m planning to give what I got
But unfortunately
Bad timing, a lack of luck
Keeps him away from me
In every movie with happy ending you give lovers a helping hand
So little cupid please, would you do that for me
(oh send an arrow, boy)
Johnny My dear
Everybody loves you so there’s nothing you can do
And no matter where you go they feel the same way too
I swore that I would never fall, it wasn’t in my plans
Yet were walking here tonight holding hands
But no ones gonna tie you down that is what you say
And I am just a stupid clown for loving you this way
I swore that I´d play hard to get but you know how it is
I forgot to keep all that when we kissed
Johnny my dear what’s it gonna be
I love you with all my heart but do you love me
Johnny my dear what am I gonna do
I cant see no future in your eyes so blue
Baby you’re the world to me what else can I say
I never loved no one so deep, never in this way
I swore that I would never act like all the girls you met
Than I went and said the same things they all said:
Shape up
You’re telling me things that you don’t really mean
I heard about you, you can keep your ring
Ohie, will you ever shape up baby, ohie
I’m telling you what, this whole thing’s got to stop
Ohie, ohie
I heard all the talk that is coming from town
Ain´t it a shame how you put me down
Ohie, will you ever shape up baby, ohie
I’m telling you what this whole thing’s got to stop
Ohie, ohie
Because you lie and hurt me all the time
And than you say your sorry all the time
And than you want me back baby, all the time
And then you call me up to hear if I’m feeling fine
I’m telling you what this whole thing’s got to stop
Ohie, ohie
Someday (you´ll see)
Well I know this love affair
don’t mean to you what it means to me
But darling you’ll be getting there
Someday you’ll see
Someday you open up your eyes
Oh I know just how it feels
And you smile in sweet surprise
Someday you’ll see, oh yes you will
Oh I know someday you’ll turn around
And wonder how blind love could be
Oh I know someday you’ll turn around
And see what I see
don’t you know what’s in the air
Even a child knows what it means
But baby you’ll be getting there
Someday you’ll see, oh yes you will
Good-looking teacher
I might be stupid but I ain´t dumb
The world ain´t flat but it is round
Your good looking teacher, your good looking
Your good looking teacher teach you too much
You get up in the morning, You’ll be gone
With a bottle of aftershave on
I love you, you know that man
But there’s one thing I just cant stand
