I’M LUCKY

I’m lucky

I’m lucky

I can walk under ladders

Yes I’m so lucky

That I’m as lucky

As me

Struck it rich

Dirty rich

Nowork

And get richer

And the world

Loves a winner

Yes I’m so happy

That you’re happy

With me

You are happy too

Ain’t you baby

Numero uno

Living for

Right now

And it’s

L.I.V.I.N.G.

When I’m here

With you

I’m lucky

I’m lucky

I don’t need a bracelet

No salt

For my shoulder

I don’t own a rabbit

No clover

No heather

No cross

No wonder

I’m lucky

WHEN I GET IT RIGHT

You always say

When I just messed up

Did bad

Done wrong

Gone too far

Caused such pain

Such shame

I’m illegal

See one sided

No fair

A sin there

Act queer

Odd ball

I mishandle

You trample

So strong

Wear crown

Under foot

Put upon

Hold down

When I get it right

Hey

Will you tell me please

I wanna know

You always say no

You don’t mean yes

No way

Hold out

Turn around

Two refusals

Deaf ear turned here

Not want

Leave room

All fault here

Shake head

Drop dead

ROMANCERS

Every day

My friends say

I’m in the worst kind of trouble

But they talk in vain

I ain’t listening

I listen too often

Where they get their wisdom

I shall never know

And I can’t believe my ears

There’s fifty people

Telling me to

Give it up

But I don’t want to hear

Fortune tellers

Seeing omens

And writings on walls

I think they falsify

They mean to see me cry

They offer less than my hopes

Where they get their magic

I shall never know

And I can’t believe my eyes

They push the rainbows out

And give you

Storm skies

But I don’t want to know

I’m living in a fool’s paradise

I’m living on false hope

And lies

I’m gonna be rejected

Let down

Expect it

I’m living in a fool’s paradise

My baby say

It’s all alright

That’s good enough for me

Say pay no heed to idle minds

They’re all romancers

I WANNA HOLD YOU

You got the look

I like

You make the people stare

And it’s getting me

In a state

You’re going out

With someone

I don’t approve of

And it’s getting me

In a state

I see you in a restaurant

I wanna hold you

I see you with your mother

I wanna hold you

I see you when you don’t see me

I wanna hold you

I wanna hold you

In my arms

And I wanna

Love you

I want you

And I’m gonna try

I’m searching

But I don’t know

Why I bother

‘Cos I’ve seen you

And you look

Just right

THE WEAKNESS IN ME

I’m not the sort of person

Who falls

In

And quickly

Out

Of love

But to you I gave my affection

Right from the start

I have a lover

Who loves me

How could I break such a heart

Yet still you get my attention

Why do you come here

When you know I’ve got troubles

Enough

Why do you call me

When you know

I can’t answer the phone

Make me lie

When I don’t want to

And make someone else

Some kind of an unknowing fool

You make me stay

When I should not

Are you so strong

Or is all the weakness in me

Why do you come here

And pretend

To be just passing by

But I mean to see you

And I mean to hold you

Tightly

Feeling guilty

Worried

Waking from tormented weep

This old love has me bound

But the new love

Cuts deep

If I choose now

I’ll lose out

One of you has to fall

And I need you

And you

NO LOVE

Well

You started out

Wanting my body

And I didnt mind

‘Gus we liked each other

And it also helped

To pass the time

Well everybody dreams of one

And now I want you

And not just

For fun

But if you’ve got no love

To give

Baby don’t give it here

I wanted you to be my lover

I would be your triend

And I’d wear the purple shirt

‘Gus it makes you laugh

And I would too

Well it there’s

Anything I can do

I wanna do It

And if I had no love

To give

I wouldn’t give it

To you

Your oest friend’s

Friend

Told someone

I was the hurting kinG

And now they’ve

Planted that seed

And it’s growing there

In your mind

Well if you’re looking for

A permanent mate

Just accept me

As your fate

‘Gus it I had no love to give

I woulon’t give it

To you

AT THE HOP

All dressed up and we got somewhere

To go

We’re all dressed up in our Sunday

Clothes

Me and my baby see us walKing down

The road

We’re going to the hop

Down at the hall you’ll find us

Dancing

I’m dancing right across the floor

Me and my baby

See the people

Hear them shout for more

Me and my baby

See us

Doing all those fancy steps

We’re dancing at the hop

This dance is the coolest yet

One boy he grabs a foreign girl

And he never even asked her name

He wants a dance

And he wants it now

Wants it now

And he can dance

Let me show you how

I CAN’T LIE TO MYSELF

Why here

Why now

Why so early

Why you getting down on me

You know you’re a

Beautiful person

But just now

You bother me

It’s so coincidental

You reaching out for me

Just when I got

All this money

And you

Footlose and fancy free

I love you like a brother

I’ll help you

Find your feet

But don’t take advantage

Honey

You’re ain’t under me

Why so tall

So young

So handsome

You get the best of me

In your eyes

I see a reflection

You the beauty

I’m the beast

You got yourself

A lover

Can’t take for a ride

But you know I love you

Honey

I cannot lie

You want some money

Kiss and cuddle too

Take it all now baby

It’s always been for you

I can’t lie to myself

EATING THE BEAR

He had me down

But I put up a fight

I saw those teeth

And I groped for my knife

Big brown bear

With the juice from his mouth

He could taste my leg

And he thought he’d got me

But I am eating the bear

He lurked around

‘Cos he knew where I lived

I’m in the jungle

And he means to eat me

He means to eat me

He’s a hungry bear

He touched my arm

And he thought he’d got me

But I am eating the bear

Some days the bear

Will eat you

Some days you eat the bear

And I am eating the bear

It’s not just girls

He eats who he wants

He’s big and strong

Fights dirty

And mean

If you spill some blood

He’ll smell you for miles

You better watch out

‘Cos he’s right behind you

ONLY ONE

I wanna be just where you are

I wanna take you so far

Away with me

I wanna be your only one

I wanna be te one you run to when you’re down

I wanna be the one you love

I wanna be the only one you want around

Make me feel good

Make me feel fine

Beautiful eyes

Promise of paradise
