I been lookin at you lookin at me lookin at the clock on the back wall of this coffee shop
I been wonderin what time you get out so we can take off and get on with this overdue bunny-hop
It’s about time we get together, us forever, you and me against the world
So I’ll sack up and say hello, say goodbye to the life you knew, girl
So let’s get closer/ let’s get closer, feel your body wrapped up in mine
Let’s get closer// let’s get closer, feel your heart pounding next to mine
Ain’t no sin, baby let’s get skin to skin
Clock out of this dead end job, dead end life, it’s a dead end road waitin for the fun to start
Get in my car, pump up the radio, stop livin your life like you’re in a bad TV show,
It’s about time we got together, us forever, you and me agains t the world
So don’t say no, girl, join the show girl, let me show you a thing about life and love

Miss Interpretation
03:24
|
|||
|
She is one of a kind and she won’t let you forget it,
She goes like white wine to your head if you let it,
The swing in her hips when she’s walkin my way
Makes me think about what I know they all say, they call her
Miss Interpretation/ Miss what do you mean/
All across the nation/ You make all the boys scream
Miss Interpretation/ The woman of my dreams
All your fake flirtation/ You are not what you seem…
She’ll run her hand through my hair and she makes me forget
All of the confusion that she’s caused me yet
She winks at me and I’m lost again
But it don’t mean a thing because I tell you my friend, they call her
CHORUS
Miss Interpretation always gets what she wants,
Of boys she knows there’s plenty and she always taunts
Leading me and teasing me in her twisted dance
All to give me hope that I might have a chance at
CHORUS

Funkify It
03:16
|
|||
|
Life ain’t worth a damn if you’re not swinging with the band
It’s not worth playin straight, just takin the man’s bait
So learn to loosen up and feel the groove
You can’t just stand there, man you gotta move, you’ve got to
CHORUS
Stand up and testify it, that you would glorify it,
The saving power of the al migh ty groove
No way to classify it, the soul can’t be denied its
Heightened love exchange, when you just…funkify it
So down that double shot and drop it like it’s hot
Put a little funk in your soul, and soon your life will be whole
So swing your hips to the rhythm of the band
And grab your funky partner by the hand, you’ve got to
CHORUS
So dance with the band, follow us and keep your boogie
Dance with the band, boogie on down to funky land
CHORUS

Dance With The Devil
02:39
|
|||
|
Just because I know how to rock and roll and have some fun
It don’t mean I’m bad to the bone, I’m just born to run
So calm the hell on down, and let me save you before you drown
In this whirlpool of your PC bullshit life
CHORUS:
I’m not tryin to dance with the devil, but if he’s the only one who’s got my back,
I’m gonna dance cuz I’m still young, raise some hell before the sun
Rises and the big man comes to drag me down
Excuse me, but I though this was my one life to live
If you stop tryin to tell me how, I’ll forget and I’ll forgive
But knock your fist upon my door and tell me not to sin no more
And I won’t listen to a word you say
CHORUS
Life’s too short not to celebrate the good times, yeah
I’m no fool though, I know they never stay
All I ask is for you to loosen up and feel the groove
Of the music that we’re playin every day
Chorus

City Girl
02:19
|

|
I see her out on the street tonight, man she’s sure lookin pretty
I’d love to take her out for a ride to her favorite spot in the city…
she loves the
Hot lights and the bright nights, she runs the scene after dark,
and she’s taken my heart, ohhh… .she’s a city girl
She was born to be at the center of it all, and you know I’m alright with it
She’s already the center of my world, and I’ll never let her leave it
Oh city girl, I live for your love, together you and me could tear the city up
Hey pretty girl, you’re blowin my mind, so hey city girl come on give me a sign
I know I’m in love with a city girl, sure hope she don’t mind,
One night in my city with her and you know I’m gonna make her mine

CPR
03:00
|
|||
|
Oh God, I think she’s walking towards me/you know how I love when she walks
Oh God, I think she’s looking at me/ I think I’m lost
The closer she gets/the faster my heart beats/poundin out of control/
My hands go numb/I can’t feel my feet/ I think/I’m gonna/ fall
I need CPR please resuscitate me, cause I can’t breathe whenever she’s near,
I need revival please someone help me, or I’ll go crazy, can anyone hear…me
The look in her eye, the smile on her face, all say heartbreaker
But the toss of her hair, the swing in her hips, all say love maker
My hands get shaky and my knees get weak,
Like Elvis said I can’t stand on my own 2 feet
She shakes me all up, and she breaks me all down, I can’t feel my heart beat
Maybe there’s something that I could say, to get her to stop and look my way
But I can’t think, I just need to remember how to breathe

Lord, Take Me Now
05:21
|
|||
|
Tell me, Lord what did I do this time? My lady, she won’t say
Tell me Lord, what did I do this time? My lady, she won’t say
So Lord, Take Me Now, so she don’t take my life today
Don’t know what’s the matter, no she won’t let me see
Don’t know what’s the matter, no she won’t let me see
So Lord, Take Me Now, so she don’t take it out on me
Was it something I said?/ Was it something I done?
Did I smile at another girl?/ Did I have too much fun?
So Lord, Take Me Now, before she beats you to the punch
Why do women do these things?/ It just ain’t right
Now I keep one eye open/when I sleep at night
Lord, take me now, I won’t put up no fight

Lightning Strikes
04:12
|
|||
|
You’re dancing there across the room, you don’t see me, but I can’t move
I’m paralyzed, my heart rate spikes, your eyes meet mine…. And lightning strikes
Whenever you are looking at me, you are all my eyes want to see
My heart beats like thunder whenever you’re near, and when you look at me…
lightning strikes
You make your way across the room, like you have got a point to prove
You pull so close, feel my temperature rise, your lips meet mine…and lightning strikes
Your love is a perfect storm, flooding my gates, tearing down my wall
A hurricane’s grip on my heart, a fire torching because from the start

Over You Today
03:39
|
|||
|
I don’t know why I spent so much time stuck on you
Nothin good ever came out of it, we both know that’s true
I can’t believe the way you toyed with me to make me fall
In fact I can’t believe I ever believed at all
I guess you’re just used to being loved, Well here’s a new reaction to take a taste of
I hope you can handle it when I say, that I don’t care that
There’s nothing left for me to do to try to make you love me
There’s nothing left for me to say to try to make you care
But you know I’m fine with that, so you can just walk away
It may be strange for you to hear, but I got Over You Today
I tried everything I could think of just to win you
And all that wound up happening was me losing myself
Now I don’t know what else I could have tried
All I know is I’m done throwin away my pride, oh yeah
And it’s a shame that I’ll never get back the time that I wasted on you
That could have been time I could use to get off of my knees
To stop begging you please, to live life with ease, to do as I please
I think you get the point that I don’t care that

That Girl
02:54
|
|||
|
She’s pretty like the rain, the way it washes off the heat
Or the snow, the way it glistens when the sun shines on the street
She moves just like the wind, so graceful and so free
But most of all, she’s perfect when she’s standing next to me
That girl- the way she moves, the way I stare at
That girl, the way the sun shines in her hair
I can’t help but feeling she’s the center of my world,
Because this boy’s so crazy about that girl
The best is when she looks at me and sees what’s in my head
She smiles and I can’t speak, so I just smile back instead
She knows just what I’m feelin, what’s goin on inside
And oh she knows just what to do when she is by my side
She’s wild, and she’s perfect, she’s just my cup of tea
She’s cute, and then she’s crazy, and she’s perfect just for me

Aware, yet ignorant to truth
I stumble blindly in to you
Guided by the light you give
By your help I start to live
I can Breathe when you are with me
I feel my way through the dark
Guided by your beating heart
Your love is light to blinded eyes
Your love’s a spark, I come alive
I can Live if you will love me
I’ll run to you, your light I’ll find, I’ll say to you “your love is mine”
Away from sorrow, trouble and pain, your love, your light, the ultimate gain

A Little More

My Heart Starts Beating
I can’t shake this feeling
It’s hard to keep me moving
Do I start believing?
Not sure what I’m thinking
Don’t you stop believing
It will be receiving
Then I shout out what I’m feeling
Love a little more
A little more
A little more
Believe in what you say
Don’t change what you think
Love for you and love for me
Love a little more
If it’s not worth living
You got to start believing
It’s not hard to go fleeing
You gotta start giving
I know I’m not perfect
Mistakes I keep making
Isn’t there forgiving
Then I shout out what I’m feeling
Love a little more
A little more
A little more
Believe in what you say
Don’t change what you think
Love for you and love for me
Love a little more
Love a little more
A little more
A little more
Believe in what you say
Don’t change what you think
Love for you and love for me
Love a little more
