Let's have another joint on me
Let's get as gone as we can be
And we'll float around the ceiling
Cause baby you get me high

Let's have a six pack of beer
Sit and watch the walls disappear
And we'll laugh and talk for hours
Oh baby you get me high

Let's smoke a pack of cigarettes
Hey how 'bout a menthol?
You haven't had one of those yet
Yeah we'll laugh, and cough for hours

Oh baby you get me high
Yeah baby you get me high
Oh baby you get me high

Well i know i'm only one in a hundred
And i know that you've heard this before
And i know that there's been many others
And no doubt that there'll be many more

But this dream has become an obsession
Cause i've held it inside for so long
All my friends say i should use discretion
But i know i'm just not that strong

And i can't fight it--i can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do

Cause you look so completely inviting
Standing there with your tongue in your cheek
Yes your lips are so fuckin' exciting
I can feel myself weak in the knees

And i know that you might put me under
Yes i know that i might get the squeeze
But i really can't think of no other
Cause i know what i want and i need

And i can't fight it--i can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do

Cause you look so completely inviting
Standing there with your tongue in your cheek
Yes your lips are so fuckin' exciting
I can feel myself weak in the knees

And i know that you might put me under
Yes i know that i might get the squeeze
But i really can't think of no other
Cause i know what i want and i need

And i can't fight it--i can't keep myself from wanting you
I can't fight it--no matter what you say, no matter what you do . . . .

Big boss man, can't you hear me when i call?
Big boss man, can't you hear me when i call?
Well you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all

Well you got me working boss man, working around the clock
One little drink of water but you won't let tommy stop
Big boss man, can't you hear me when i call?
Well you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all

You got me working boss man, working around the clock
One little drink of water, but you won't let tommy stop
Big boss man, can't you hear me when i call?
Listen you ain't so big, you just tall, that's all

Well the clouds go by in the big blue sky
As the sun beats down on casa dega
And the moon pulls the tide and the tide brings night
But night is more than just a night in casa dega

Oh baby now i think i'm starting to believe the things that i've heard
Cause tonight in casa dega i hang on every word

That she said to me as she holds my hand
And reads the lines of a stranger
Yeah and she knows my name yeah she knows my plan
In the past in the present and for the future

Oh honey now i think i'm starting to believe the things that i've heard
Cause tonight in casa dega i hang on every word

That she said...

Baby fools pay the price of a whisper in the night in casa dega
Time rolls by, night is only night, can i save you?

Yeah more than just a night...

I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

Everybody'd try to tell
But no i wouldn't listen
I'd go ahead, put my arm around her
I had to squeeze her, i had to kiss her

Now i can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
Oh i can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

If i said go out she'd daydream
Didn't mean a thing to me
It's the kind of thing i thought might never happen
You see i thought i was invincible, i couldn't see why

You can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
No can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

It's the kind of thing boy, you think could never happen
My friends would say, "stay 'way from her"
I said, "boy, have you kissed it? boy, have you seen her?"
I could let her hear their words

No i can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
Can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind

I can't get her out
I can't get her out of my mind
I can't get her out
Can't get her out of my mind

I was talking with a friend of mine, said a woman had hurt his pride.
Told him that she loved him so and turned around and let him go.
Then he said, "you better watch your step, or your gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside."

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, hurt you down inside.

Don't do me like that.
Dont' do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't do me like that.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i need you baby?
Don't do me like that.

'cause somewhere deep down inside
Someone is saying, "love doesn't last that long."
I got this feelin' inside night and day
Wait a minute

Listen honey, can you see? baby, you would bury me
If you were in the public eye givin' someone else a try.
And you know you better watch your step or you're gonna get hurt yourself.
Someone's gonna tell you lies, cut you down to size.

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
What if i love you baby?
Don't, don't, don't, don't...

Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
I just might need you honey.
Don't do me like that.

Wait!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby,
Don't, don't, don't...

No!
Don't do me like that.
Don't do me like that.
Baby, baby, baby...

Oh, oh, oh...

I live on the west side, by the county reservoir
And she lives down on depot street, behind the city hall
Behind the city hall

Her father's name is macintosh, her mother's name is pearl
And they live down on depot street, she's my little girl
She's my little girl

Down on depot street, i'm gonna see my baby
Depot street, i'm gonna see my girl
Depot street, baby, baby, baby
Depot street, behind the city hall

We ain't got no money, we don't have no car
We stay down on depot street, just dancin' in the park
Dancin' in the park

And her sister doesn't like me, but i don't really care
I know the only reason is she wants me for herself
She wants me for herself

Down on depot street, i'm gonna see my baby
Depot street, i'm gonna see my girl
Depot street, baby, baby, baby
Depot street, behind the city hall

She's my baby, she's my girl

And we ain't been to college, we both quit high school
There was way too many people there makin' way too many rules
Makin' way too many rules

So we got no education, but we don't care at all
Cause it don't mean much on depot street, behind the city hall
Behind the city hall

Down on depot street, i'm gonna see my baby
Depot street, i'm gonna see my girl
Depot street, baby, baby, baby
Depot street, behind the city hall

Can't you see i love you?
Please don't break my heart in two
That's not hard to do cause i don't have a wooden heart

And if you say good-bye
Then i know that i would cry
Maybe i would die cause i don't have a woooden heart

There's no strings upon this love of mine
It was always you from the start
Treat me nice treat me good
Treat me like you really should
Cause i'm not made of wood and i don't have a wooden heart

Treat me nice treat me good treat me like you really should
Cause i'm not made of wood and i don't have a wooden heart
No i don't have a wooden heart

Yes i know she's the life of the party
And without her things here would die
Oh but don't you be fooled by her laughter
She has her sad times, she knows how to cry

She drinks and she talks just a little too long
And with her bride gone she'll tag along with any old crowd
Yes i know i'm to blame and i feel so ashamed
That i've made her the image of me

Well i met her in a little country town
She was simple and old-fashioned in some ways
And she loved me 'til i dragged her down
Then she gave up and drifted away

She drinks and she talks just a little too long
And with her bride gone she'll tag along with any old crowd
Yes i know i'm to blame and i feel so ashamed
That i've made her the image of me

They said love was a thing of the past
That these days nothing ever lasts
This old world is movin' too fast

Well sometimes we ride around
She plays her radio up loud
If i was sad, well, i'm happy now

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive

I got a job, i work hard
These days the money don't go very far
It's hard enough keeping gas in the car

But sometimes we ride around
She plays the radio up load
If i was sad, well, i'm happy now

Yeah and it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive

And it feels so good to know
I got you where you belong
Here in my heart, right by my side
Honey you're getting me by
Yeah you're keeping me alive
Yeah you're keeping me alive
Yeah you're keeping me alive

If you don't wanna love me then don't say i'm your man
Honey if you don't wanna love me, don't you say i'm your man
Oh what's the matter baby, can't you see
This is not the first time it's happened to me?

I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up

If you don't wanna kiss me, honey, then don't touch my hand
If you don't wanna kiss me, honey, you better not touch my hand
I don't quite get it, why can't you see
This ain't the first time it's happened to me?

I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up

I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up

And if you don't really need me, honey, don't say you do
If you don't really need me, honey, then don't say you do
??? something i said
Still won't convince you not to play with my head, oh yeah

I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up
I got my mind made up
Mind made up
I got my mind made up

Honey tell me why you smile
When you see me hurt so bad
Tell me what i did to you babe
That could make you act like that
Yes i've been your fool before babe
And i probably will again
She ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in
Yeah you know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love

Yeah i can take a little pain
I could hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
When you're walkin' me through hell
Yes i've been your fool before, babe
And i probably will again
She ain't afraid to let me have it
You ain't afraid to stick it in

Yeah you know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love

Yeah those cobra eyes
Light with a smile
You take pride
In that devil down inside

I can take a little pain
I can hold it pretty well
I can watch your little eyes light up
When you're walkin' me through hell
Yeah i've been your fool before babe
And i probably will again
No you ain't afraid to let me have it
Honey you ain't afraid to stick it in

You know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love

You know so many ways to be wicked
But you don't know one little thing about love

Well i wish i had a dollar
For every piece of my broken heart
I wish i had a nickel
For every shred of my shattered life

I'd be a millionaire
But it would not repair
The damage you've done to me

Baby, i wish i had a penny
For every cent i've spent on you
You'd call that breakin' even, wouldn't you baby?
I do whatever i had to do

I'd be a millionaire
But it would not repair
The damage you've done to me

Honey there's no reason for me to hold a grudge
Money isn't everything, but it's a lot to me
And i know sure as there's feathers on a chicken
One day i'll get back every dollar you stole

I'd be a millionaire
But it would not repair
The damage you've done to me

I'd be a millionaire
But it would not repair
The damage you've done to me

Cracking up getting ready to go
Had enough i can't take any more
No pills that i can take
This is too real and there ain't no escape

It scares the daylight making nightmares
I'm chancing i'm nervous
And everybody's all around me
Shaking hands and saying howdy

I don't think it's funny no more cracking up

Cracking up like a worn out shoe
I ain't wet but the world leaking through
I'd run but i'd find no place
I'd laugh but it's wrecking me
Make you shiver make you shake
Make a monster just like an earthquake
Everybody's having fun
I don't know how they can carry on

I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up

The dead of nighttime the crack of dawn
It comes upon me without warning
If i were a gun then i would shoot
I tear the head out by the root
I'd make a knife out of an ocean
All that sea in an ocean of emotion

I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more cracking up
I don't think it's funny no more
I don't think it's funny no more
I don't think it's funny no more

Look left, here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since i don't know when
But she don't notice me when i pass
She goes with other guys way outta my class
That can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
Boy that girl's fine lookin' man
She's somethin' else

Looky there, across the street
There's a car named just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
But right now i can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is outta my class
That can't stop me from thinkin' to myself
Boy that car's fine lookin' man
It's somethin' else

Lookout, wait and see
Work hard and savin' dough
I'll get the girl that i've been wantin' so
We'll get that girl, we go ridin' around
Look real cute with the white top down
So keep right on a dreamin', thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man
That's somethin' else

Hold me tighter and tighter through the night
When you kiss me honey i tremble like a child

And i feel so right since you said you loved me

But the moonlight just ??? shining through
And the night was a ??? shades of blue

And i feel so right since you said you loved me

Hold me tighter and tighter through the night
When you kiss honey i tremble like a child

And i feel so right since you said you loved me

Well it was out in california by the san diego sea
That was when i was taken in by an aging boardwalk queen
Yeah she nearly drove me crazy with all those china toys
And i know she really didn't mean a thing to any of those sailor boys

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing a change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

South carolina put out its arms for me
Right up until everything went black somewhere on baker street
And it was just some mean old poison, that i took up my nose
Thank god for a love that follows the angels and the whores

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

Well i never will get over this english refugee
Singing to the jukebox in the all night beanery
Yeah he was eating pills like candy and chasing them with tea
You should have seen him lick his lips, that old black muddied beak

Louisiana rain is falling at my feet
Baby i'm noticing the change as i move down the street
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

Louisiana rain is falling just like tears
Running down my face, washing out the years
Louisiana rain is soaking through my shoes
I may never be the same when i reach baton rouge

I got a bottle in a paper bag, i can hear a little country rag
Dollar down, dollar a day, yeah i got a little one-eyed play
I opened up the windows, yeah i've been caught cold
Here, have a little no doze, can you hear me in the headphones?
Road turkey's in the lobby, baby this is just a hobby
Just a little thin report, yeah i've been caught short
But i can't get past "how do you do?"
I don't know what to say to you

Dancin' in the l.a. rain, midnight blue and tangerine
Here, let me hold a cigarette, baby i just got time to bet now
I know it's just casino talk but i hear you got a three foot walk
Flowin' cold and hot, bankin' on a long shot at a transcendental continental
The initials on the door, baby are you keepin' score?
Oh i can't get past "how do you do?"
I don't know what to say to you

Phoenix stars in the saddle, tryin' to deal with ???? cattle
Told proud george to call the gunner, scooter ruby'll put him under
Solo jack and gypsy jade, runnin' through the everglades
Tryin' to catch that high plain, get'em touch of fair exchange
Chinese kite, folding chairs, lift on where you take the stairs
Royal crown is on my head, you know i don't really care
I can't get past "how do you do?"
I don't know what to say to you
