Just Good Friends
03:50

I don’t wanna hear the way you talk when I’m not around
Everybody says the way you walk when I’m not around
Is hot enough to bring things to a boil…but it’s not enough that it’s gonna spoil
That special kind of pain I love when you come ‘round
I don’t wanna know the things you do when I’m acting blind
Rather think you’re chaste and you’re true and the contract is signed
I watch you flirt as you go from man to man…I can’t believe that this is happening again
Sometimes I think you look for things that you won’t find
Chorus –
You don’t know how shallow I feel when I make this a big deal
It’s not as if it’s a new trend
A new charm, there’s no harm done…but you make me feel like a fifth wheel
When you tell him we’re just good friends
I don’t wanna make a big scene if it’s okay with you
Rather make a break and make it clean, it’s the right thing to do
Well, I would still enjoy you by my side…but you’d destroy my hopes and all my pride
And leave me standing there alone and feeling blue
Repeat Chorus
You say you love me like a brother, and I see
That things won’t work out, ‘cause that’s not enough for me
Repeat “I watch you flirt..”
Repeat chorus
Repeat “Just good Friends” 3X

How Will You Know?
03:13
|
|||
|
CHORUS –
How will I know if it is you? How will we know each other when it’s been so long?
How will you know that I’ve been true? How will you, how will you know?
Will you forgive me what I did? Will you believe me when I say I had to go?
I know I acted like a kid…how will I show you that I know?
This old house just closed itself about me like a fist
And before I could resist, I was escaping down that street
And although I’ve been the architect of my own discontent
When my life was broke and bent I could still see you and you still looked sweet
CHORUS
I don’t think it’s right for you to have to stay the same
For a man who you could blame for all the things that made you cry
Still, I can’t believe I’m asking you to please forget
Like some saint with no regret…but I’ve made my bed, now I’ll have to lie
No one ever tries to be his own worst enemy
Sometimes the madness makes me numb
When this is over, I would hope that you could see
If you call, I will come
CHORUS

So Pretty I Lie
03:26
|
|||
|
So you say you’re tired and you’ve heard these lines before
If that’s the worst I can do, then I wouldn’t choose any other vice
Well, my mouth’s on fire, but my brain is getting sore
As I try to stand straight I am walking on very thin ice
It gets hard when you run, but I gotta say pursuit’s half the fun
If I knew what you want then I wouldn’t have to bore you with this stupid explanation
Chorus –
I’m just shooting my mouth off, telling you things I shouldn’t ‘cause I
Don’t know shit about what I’m saying, but I can’t help it ‘cause you’re so pretty I lie
Tell me what you like and tell me how you’d like it served
If it’s a steak or a summons I can make it any way you want
But if you slap my face and tell me that I’ve got my nerve
Then I’d turn myself around and convince you that I’m nonchalant
I don’t know what I’ll do if you say that you don’t want me ‘round you
But one thing is for sure…I’m lying through my teeth so I can capture your attention
Repeat Chorus
No I’m not chasing anybody else, and if I were, I’d quit for you
I’m an honest man, if need be…no lie, it’s true
It gets hard when you run, but I gotta say pursuit’s half the fun
If I knew what you want then I wouldn’t have to bore you with this stupid explanation
Repeat Chorus

Where Were You?
04:20
|
|||
|
On graduation day, I put my cap and gown away
I had a bite to eat, and went and walked down the street…down by your front lawn
When I called you outside to come and go for a ride, you were nervous, and you stared at your feet
And I shivered ‘cause you looked so sweet with your pink dress on
Chorus –
And we swore to love each other like a couple of jerks
I should’ve known right then, I should’ve known it wouldn’t work
But on that day, my heart was true, and I was there, baby, but baby, where were you
And in our wedding vow, we promised to allow for growing each and every day
But you grew up and you grew further away till you’d gone too far
There wasn’t much I could do…it got so hard to even understand you
You were working and were hardly around and when you left, I didn’t hear a sound, not even the car
Repeat Chorus
If I knew what went wrong then I could fix it
If I knew where you were tonight, I swear I’d come and take you home
Late last Saturday night; the phone rang, so I turned on the light
It was you, and you were trying to sleep
You were lonely and were crying for me…you said that we should meet
So I drove to the bar, and watched all night for your car
It never did arrive, so I left, and I continued to drive on down that lonely street
Repeat Chorus

Rushing In On Fool's Day
03:22
|
|||
|
Intro: Repeat Chorus lines…
I feel like a punch line being fed…rushing in where sane men fear to tread
Now they’re asking me if I can find my voice…the house is ready, waiting to rejoice
Chorus –
Rushing in on fool’s day…don’t know what was on our minds
Rushing in on fool’s day rushing in, the blind leading the blind
We used to ramble and think we were so smart…And fool ourselves into thinking life was art
Now everyone is waiting for me to make a toast
On a stand-up comic show where I’m the host
Repeat Chorus –
Rushing in on fool’s day…don’t know what was on our minds
Rushing in on fool’s day rushing in, the blind leading the blind
If there’s a reason why I’m dumb enough to try
To play the odds that you and I won’t change
Repeat “Rushing In on Fool’s Day…don’t know what was on our minds” 3X to the end

Little woman with a champagne glass grew up a little too fast
And though she’s telling lies about her past she does it all with class…you understand
‘Cause she’s a girl you know, you understand but what makes a man love a woman in demand
When she’s a girl, that’s all…you’ll take her out…….not much to write home about
Little woman’s had a man in France…one by mail, another by chance
And though she seldom has the time to dance with all the boys she keeps in trance…they understand
‘Cause she’s a girl you know, you understand but what makes a man love a woman in demand
When she’s a girl, that’s all…you’ll take her out……..not much to write home about
Little woman take a little fall…take a little bit of alcohol
And though they back her up against the wall, she don’t need to fight at all…they understand
‘Cause she’s a girl you know, you understand but what makes a man love a woman in demand
When she’s a girl, that’s all…you’ll take her out……..not much to write home about
Not much to write home about…….not much to write home about…

I know he left you, and you’re feeling pretty blue
And you’re home drinking, well, honey that ain’t the thing to do
Well, I’ve been calling…and Lordy, I have tried
To help you with yourself, and to save you some spent pride
So listen up little darling…’cause I’ve been there before
May I suggest a new frontier you can explore?
Well I’m-a gonna ring it once, I’m gonna ring it again
‘Cause I’ve just gotta help you out of this mess you’re in
Chorus –
Put down the bottle…and pick up the phone, baby
Put down the bottle……..and pick up the phone
The telephone’s been ringing…ringing off the hook
He done this to me before, and I know, I’m an open book
Well, you can drown your sorrows…drown ‘em for a while
But I could help them go away, and they’d go away in style
So let me in, let me help, let me make you feel fine
‘Cause you ain’t gonna find the answer in cheap red wine
Chorus
Why oh why oh why do you want to waste a lotta time crying about him, baby?
Why oh why oh why?
Repeat 2nd verse

Mrs. 8 Millimeter
03:49
|
|||
|
Keeps her film inside a camera…fascinates her like a child
A hobby born and bred back home when making movies was her style
At first when she entrusted her career to helping hands
“Won’t you drop that strap for folks in…sophisticated foreign lands?”
Chorus –
Mrs. 8-millimeter tries in vain
To make herself legitimate again
Calls a meeting, Wednesday, lunchtime…tries to pitch her latest line
A picture show where ten detectives die on Hollywood and Vine
She’s come a long, long way from times when she had no control
The family Christmas cinema…a Cecil B. Diminished soul
Chorus –
Mrs. 8-millimeter tries in vain
To make herself legitimate again
And now she’s taking pains to cover up her past
Her history could make her famous, fast
Repeat 1,2 & chorus

Say Anything
03:39
|
|||
|
Don’t say you’re sorry ‘cause you think it might be what I want to hear
You’d say “I’m sorry” in a wink, when we both know it’s insincere
You’d say anything to save your skin, depending on the fix you’re in
It wasn’t you who did the deed…and your criminals, they agreed
Well, my compadres stand by me…so who’s the liar now? I guess we’ll see
You’d say anything to save your skin, depending on the fix you’re in
I know you think that you’re an angel in disguise
But you should see it through my eyes
What they said, it wasn’t true…and you friends will vouch for you
You’d never ever tell a lie…and if you had to, you would cry, and…
You’d say anything to save your skin, depending on the fix you’re in
Don’t say you’re sorry ‘cause you think it might be what I want to hear

Don't Make Me Pull Over
03:46
|
|||
|
Chorus-
Don’t make me pull over…don’t make me swerve in the lane
Don’t make me pull over, and don’t make me tell you again
No, don’t make me say it again…don’t make me say it again
We were on our way to Yellowstone National Park…driving all the livelong day, now it’s getting dark
My daddy’s at the wheel and there ain’t no hotel in sight…’round about then, me and sis done got in a fight
Well, she made bad faces at me, so I flipped her the bird…then she hauled off and hit me ‘fore I could even get in a word
So I took my hand and I laid it right across her head…dad growled, “If I stop this car, you kids are dead!”
Repeat Chorus
We were quiet for a good ten minutes till she stuck out her tongue
And it wasn’t but a second ‘fore the next insult was flung
He slammed on the brakes and we skidded to the side of the road
Then I got real scared ‘cause I thought his head would explode
Dad pulled over and asked us to step out…..and as he drove away we wondered what the fuss was all about
‘Bout ten minutes ago sis started to cry….told her we’d be okay, but that was a lie
Next thing we knew, dad’s car had turned around…“No jury’d convict me!” he said, as he slowed down
Repeat Chorus to the end

Talk About It
04:17
|
|||
|
I know what I want to say, but I don’t know who to call
Everybody’s angry, and that’s not like me at all
Yeah, we’re only human, and I know we make mistakes
Some of us are lucky, and the rest, well, that’s the breaks
Twenty people said his hands were where they don’t belong
It doesn’t take a genius to decide there’s something wrong
You can say there is no proof, that smoke don’t mean a fire
Would you want the whole truth, or would you call me a liar
Put a warning label on my cigarettes for me…
Tell me I’ll be okay if I use them carefully
Never thought I’d see the day when citizens would fight
Over how to kill someone and what gives you the right
Chorus –
I guess we shouldn’t talk about it…………….’cause all it does is make me mad
And if we just don’t talk about it……….I won’t have to think how I’ve been had
You can stand on higher ground until your noses bleed
Tell me it’s for my own good, denying that it’s greed
He’s a man of the people and he knows how we all feel
But we’re all getting poorer and he’s cut himself a deal
If you’re in the pocket of the man who holds the cash
Better watch your back or you’ll be taking out the trash
Chorus

Drink The Water
03:29
|
|||
|
I heard they told you not to drink the water
Well what are you going to do
When you get thirsty and it just gets hotter?
I think I’ll leave it up to you…and if it turns out to be true
I hope you’ll think that it’s all right if I kiss you goodnight
You say I’m bold but I’m controlled by such a lovely sight
You were wearing white below the border
You had your pretty blond hair pulled back
I was drinking wine and taking orders
To make up for the lack of facing simple facts
Like just how blue your eyes can be when you point them at me
‘Cause when I saw I stared in awe, my dear, you set me free
If you’re in love, you’re not alone…but I like to know when I’m correct
You send me up...I turn to stone…I didn’t know what to expect (I didn’t see it coming)
And in the early Ensenada sunrise
I watched your sleeping face
I was the first that day to see those blue eyes
And then to make up for the waste of pressure under grace
Spent acting like we didn’t know, as if it didn’t show
If this is love, then God above, I swear I won’t let go…if this is love…..
