Stupid
|
|
Everything you do you do so right The clothes you buy are awfully nice You wear your image bullet-proof Your stocks are always thru the roof You make me feel so stupid Make me feel stupid And you grew up, made in the sun They all loved you from Day 1 You always remembered everyone's name You always won the guessin' games, ooh yeah You made me feel so stupid Made me feel stupid And I'm not gonna take it anymore Not gonna take it anymore You always pick the perfect wine Your money is sho nuff greeener than mine Your wit pours out when you open your mouth My hometown is smaller than your house You make me feel so stupid Make me feel stupid And I'm not gonna take it anymore Not gonna take it anymore |

Do You Wanna Be My Baby?
|
|
I saw you rushin' down the street People were pushin' in the heat Well, I was stuck behind the wheel I guess y'all know how it feels Well, I was tryin' to keep your pace You kicked me flat out on my face You sent me cravin' on the moon Up to the air like a balloon How come you're lookin' so good? How come you're lookin' so fine? I wasn't ready for you Well, I was just passin' time Do you do you do you do you Do you wanna be my baby? Do you do you do you do you Do you wanna be my baby? I really gotta know, oh oh I really gotta know, oh oh It's really tricky to explain It's really crazy to stay sane Some things they happen really fast Some things are born and bred to last How come you're lookin' so cool? How come you're lookin' so fine? No one is ready for you I'm only passin' my time Do you do you do you do you Do you wanna be my baby? Do you do you do you do you Do you wanna be my baby? (wanna be my girl) I really gotta know, oh oh I really gotta know, oh oh I really have to know, oh oh Really wanna know, oh oh |

Saturday

It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again Goin' down on a dream It's Saturday - Kickin' the workin' week away Is the greatest thing It's a perfect day In a perfect world Such a perfect day What a perfect world It's Saturday and it's rainin' constantly It's the best God can do It's Saturday and the man on the TV-screen Wanna sell me some shoes It's a perfect day In a perfect world Such a perfect day What a perfect world Saturday I'm not too sure if I'm laughin' or cryin' Saturday I'm tryin' to find a space of my own It's Saturday and I'm sleepin' late again Oh the joy that it brings It's Saturday - Kickin' the workin' week away Is the greatest thing It's a perfect day In a perfect world Such a perfect day What a perfect world Saturday I'm not too sure if I'm laughin'or cryin' Saturday I'm tryin' to find some space on my own I'm tryin' to find some space on my own |

Ever since I saw you Entering my world Life has really changed To diamonds and pearls I'm tryin' to take it slow Just goin' with the flow I want you to know I want you to stay Don't go Every day's the same Like cracks on the wall But everytime I meet you All walls start to fall But I'm tryin' to take things slow Just goin' with the flow I want you to know I want you to stay Don't go I want you to know I'm comin' your way Don't go I want you to know I want you to stay Don't go I want you to know I want you today Don't go |

Stay forever Stay a little while I'm pleased to see you I'm pleased to see you smile September clouds Shaped just like shells September rain Should fall somewhere else It's been a long time A lonely long time for me I've missed your body I've missed your company There was a girl Who looked just like you There were some nights You passed thru my room And I walk around this small town Like small town people do You would never stay for long Always passin' thru Shine forever Shine a little while I'm pleased to see you I'm pleased to see you smile This distant dream It might as well rest I wish you peace I wish you the best Wherever you'll go Whatever you'll do I wish you the best |

Elvis in Germany

The sky was clear, it was a beautiful day The King arrived in such a glamorous way Women ravin' wavin' hands in the air Men were cheerin', children started to stare The King he said he was the luckiest guy He finally had made it to the European side Then the orchestra got ready to play Another song from The Glorious Days Oh boy, did he look good in green! Oh boy, did he did he look good in green! Oh boy! Hey! Let's celebrate The nation's joinin' in (I'll tell you all about it) Hey! Let's party on The whole world's joinin' in These were the days of peace in our hearts No Major Tom was to be seen in the charts No Sgt Pepper was found in your home Just Colonel Parker countin' money alone The King he said he was a fortunate guy Then he smiled and made every girl cry Cos they all knew that this was the end That things would never be quite the same again Oh boy, did he look good in green! Oh boy, did he did he look good in green! Oh boy! Hey! Let's celebrate The nation's joinin' in (I'll tell you all about it) Hey! Let's party on The whole world's joinin' in With Elvis |

T-T-T-Take It!
|
|
She is such a good girl Livin' down the street Workin' in the diner At the local brewery She's married to this man For reasons I can only guess He always beats her up And turns her face into a mess I'm watchin' from the outside Outside lookin' in Watchin' from the outside T-T-T-Take it! T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own Hey, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone Sometimes when it's rainin' She doesn't go to work She's lookin' at some pictures Of her dad who was a clerk She's puttin' on a record From the spring of '65 She's dancin' by herself With big faraway eyes I'm watchin' from the outside Outside lookin' in Watchin' from the outside T-T-T-Take it! T-T-Take it away, don't you leave it alone When you walk out that door, honey, you're on your own You'll be glad when he's buried and gone Yea, God knows you'll be glad when he's gone Take it away, go back home Take it away, won't you please go back home |

I'll Be Alright

If you ever leave me If you ever let me down If you ever tell me You don't want my love around I'll be alright You gave me the best years of my life And a girl like you is very hard to find So everything will be alright People change, I know it It's a most natural thing And if you want to show it You don't owe me anything I'll be alright I had the moments of my life All I need is a little time to cry Then everything will be alright Take it easy, baby I wouldn't change a thing (anything about it) After all, honey I don't regret anything I'll be alright You gave me the finest things in life And a love like that is very hard to find So everything will be alright You gave me the best years of my life A love like that is very hard to find So everything will be alright |

There Is My Baby
|
|
I drive home late at night Real tired Got the radio blastin' high I kill an hour on the freeway It's so easy Cos I know what's waitin' for me I park the car on the yard Got my key in the right direction And suddenly she appears In front of me like 1-2-3 There is my baby There is my girl And she looks so fine Best thing that ever happened in my life Sometimes I feel so alone All destroyed Cryin' like a baby boy She puts her arms around me Then she kisses me And tell me stupid little things I adore In this old town you're bound to lose I was the one with my mouth shut down So there's no real reason for this dream To be there fo me, to be there for me, hey There is my baby There is my girl And she looks so fine Best thing that ever happened in my life In this small town you're bound to lose I was the one with my mouth shut down There's just one real reality Waitin' there ahead of me There is my baby There is my girl And she look so fine Best thing that ever happened in my life Yes, she look so fine Best thing that ever happened in my life Yes, she looks so fine God, she looks so fine |

Lay Down Your Arms

|
Babe, it feels like I've known you forever You're a most peculiar girl You seem to belong to a different world And whatever you're thinkin' about me Whatever you've heard around town This time it's for real, the deal is all done Lay down your arms Right from the start I'm out to make sure I'll capture your heart Lay it all down When my love is comin' around Whatever you planned for this summer Whatever you read in my palm There's no lookin' back, babe, surrender your heart, yea yea yea Lay down your arms Right from the start I'm out to make sure I'll capture your heart Lay it all down When my love is comin' around Comin' around Lay down your arms Right from the start I'm out to connect To capture your heart Lay it all down When my love is comin' around Comin' around |
