People are talkin', talkin' 'bout people
I hear them whisper, you won't believe it
They think we're lovers kept under covers
I just ignore it, but they keep saying
We laugh just a little too loud
We stand just a little too close
We stare just a little too long
Maybe they're seeing something we don't, darlin'
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love?
I feel so foolish, I never noticed
You'd act so nervous
Could you be falling for me?
It took a rumor to make me wonder
Now I'm convinced I'm going under
Thinking 'bout you every day
Dreaming 'bout you every night
Hoping that you feel the same way
Now that we know it, let's really show it, darlin'
Let's give them something to talk about
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
Let's give them something to talk about, baby
A little mystery to figure out
Let's give them something to talk about
How about love, love, love, love?
How about love, love, love, love?
How about love, love, love, love?

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
Midnight, I'm wound up tight
Slowly comin' down in the daytime
I've been lyin' low from work
Hangin' over from the hurt from you, babe
But I'm gon' suffer through the strain
'Til I get a better thing with you, darlin'
Me and you
So hard to see, so far ahead
Well I, I can't seem to drag myself out of bed
I gotta find me a, a good man
A good man, a real, good man
You better stop and think about what you're sayin'
I was seriously dedicated in this game you playin'
You made ten thousand promises you couldn't keep
I forgave you when you lied, pleaded and weeped
I put up with your disrespect and neglect
And what an experience I'll never forget
'Til now, oh, everything I did was wrong (sorry, baby)
Today we're free, but we live alone
Gotta find a good woman
Good woman, good woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
It was twelve o'clock in the midnight hour
I heard the door slam, and then the shower
When I got up, you were already gone
I slipped and fell in the water when you left on
Gotta find a good woman
Gonna find a good man
I gotta find a good woman
Oh, I'ma find a good man
I gotta find a good woman
I'ma find a good man
I gotta find a good woman
Oh baby, I'ma find a good man
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey

Turn down the lights
Turn down the bed
Turn down these voices inside my head
Lay down with me
Tell me no lies
Just hold me close, don't patronize
Don't patronize me
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't
I'll close my eyes, then I won't see
The love you don't feel when you're holding me
Morning will come and I'll do what's right
Just give me till then to give up this fight
And I will give up this fight
'Cause I can't make you love me if you don't
You can't make your heart feel something it won't
Here in the dark, in these final hours
I will lay down my heart and I'll feel the power
But you won't, no you won't
'Cause I can't make you love me, if you don't

Gonna get into it, babe
Down where it's tangled and dark
Way on into it, baby
Down where your fears are parked
Gonna tell the truth about it, babe
Honey, that's the hardest part
When we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up your heart
Gonna get into it, baby
Gonna give them demons a call, babe
Way on into it, baby
Gonna find out once and for all
Gonna get a little risky, baby
Honey, that's my favorite part
When we get through it, baby
Gonna give up our hearts
Gonna give up our hearts
Well, there's no turnin' back
No turnin' back this time
Well, there's no turnin' back
No turnin' back
No use in runnin'
It's always the same
You can count on the panic
It's the faces that change
We might have a chance
To get this love off the block
So take a deep breath
Let's look under that rock, now baby
Gonna get into it, baby
Down where it's tangled and dark, no, no, baby
Way on into it, baby
Down where your fears are parked
Gonna tell the truth about it, baby
Honey, that's the hardest part
When we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up
If we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up, you're gonna give up
When we get through it, baby
You're gonna give up your heart
Gonna give up your heart
Gonna give up your heart
Ooh babe, gonna give up
You're gonna give up, you're gonna give up
Gonna give up, gonna give up your heart
Hey baby, gonna give up, gonna give up
Gonna give up, gonna give up
Gonna give up your heart

All I ever wanted was our love to be true
More than just enough to get me by
I want a love to see me through
I don't need another well-spent night,
Another clever sideways glance
I wanna look my baby in the eye
And know there's nothing left to chance
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused
Darling, there's only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Don't be the one who's waiting
Come to me
Babe, I got what you need
Wont you come to me
There won't be no hesitating, babe
I know what you mean to me
I'm gonna hold out for no one
Ain't gonna settle for less
'Cause the kind of love I'm looking for, baby,
You can't fake, you can't finesse
I ain't looking for the kind of man, baby,
Who can't stand a little shaky ground
Who'll give me fire and tenderness
And has got the guts to stick around
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused,
Darling, there's only one thing you can-
I got what you want, baby
Oh, and I got what you need
Well if you're tired of being lonely, beat up and confused,
Darling there is only one thing you can do:
Come to me
Be the one who's waiting
Come to me
Ooh, I got what you need
Come to me
There won't be no hesititing, babe
Won't you come to me
I got what you want now, baby
I got what you need
Won't you come
Won't you bring it on home to me
Won't you come
Won't you come on baby, bring it on home to me
Won't you come to me
Bring all of your sweet love home
Won't you come to me

Yes, I'm lonely- hope you didn't catch it
Don't want to be down where I last behaved
I broke his heart now I can't patch it
This time it's grave.
I kept track of all the love that I gave him
And on paper, well, it looked pretty good
He left a note that said he couldn't stay here
As if I could
I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, nobody to blame.
One of these days I thought we'd get it together
After all that boy was made for me
But all he left me was a mouth full of feathers
Little bird got free.
He always said my love was one sided
I tried to keep up with supply and demand
But there was one way that pie was divided
It was a big piece plan.
I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, nobody to blame.
Well, now I'm getting desperate, baby, getting illegal
I got the law doggies on my trail
The hawk's out and I could use an eagle
To go my bail.
You say you're itching baby, so go ahead and scratch it
But if it jumps off, don't look at me
You swore to God that I couldn't catch it
But your dog's got fleas.
I guess my love's got no business, no business calling his name
I guess my love's got no business, nobody to blame.

When he looks into her eyes
He sees only the truth
Telling him he's been living a lie
over and over like a line in a song
About all the love he let pass by.
To her he might be the man of her dreams
To find where she's been hiding inside
Broken or battered, it really doesn't matter
Her heart's like a wave and he's the tide.
They're not forever they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
He's like a boxer who had to retire
After winning but killing a man
He's got all the moves and none of the courage
Afraid to throw a punch that might land.
Not too much later she can't meet his glance
You see her start pulling away
Over and over like fire and ice
One is color, one is grey.
They're not forever, they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.
So if you know how
Why don't you say'em a prayer
They're need all the help they can get
They remember too much about what went wrong
It might be they should learn to forget.
Forget themselves in each other
And leave what belongs in the past
Carry their hearts like a newborn child
Cause it's only the moment that lasts.
They're not forever, they're just for today
One part be my lover, one part go away.

I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one
The lonely one
One chance intervention, see what it can signify
The slightest misapprehension, baby
And we'd have passed each other by
When I heard your sweet voice callin'
Saw your light come shinin' through
I couldn't stop my heart from turning
Churnin' out my love for you
I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
Then I saw your face, on the edge of my horizon
Whisperin' that I wasn't the only one
That lonely one
True love or perfection
It seems like it's overdue
Then just when you least expect it
It comes sneakin' up on you
When I thought that I was dreaming
Felt your body close to mine
Now love takes on a different meaning
Together till the end of time
I was in a daze, movin' in the wrong direction
Feelin' that I'd always be the lonely one
When I saw your face, through the web of my confusion
Whisperin' that I was not the only one
The lonely one, oh the lonely one, ooh baby
Not the only one
I'm not the only one
I'm not the only, only, only one, baby, ooh
I am not the only one

[Chorus]
Papa, come quick, Jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone?
She's left a note on the TV and, papa, it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone?

[Verse 1]
Well, Mama's been cryin' in the kitchen since mornin'
She cried right through "As The World Turns"
I seen it myself and, papa, it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned

[Refrain]
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start, about half a day
Load up the shotgun, put it in the gun rack
Jody's with Chico down in East LA

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
It must've been that wild-eyed, silver-tongued schemer
A girl like Jody don't think for herself
Him and that Harley and his damn Jalapena
Smokin' that stuff'll make you hurt yourself

[Bridge]
Papa, come quick
Papa, come quick
Papa, come quick
Papa, come on

[Chorus]
Papa come quick, Jody's gone to the city
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone?
She left a note on the TV and Papa it's a pity
What we gonna do now that Jody's gone?

[Refrain]
Gas up the old Ford, get out the road map
They got a head start about a half a day
Stop at the Mobil, pump up the flat wheel
Jody and Chico and his ding dang deal

[Verse 3]
Mama's been cryin' in the kitchen since mornin'
She cried right through "As The World Turns"
I seen it myself and, papa, it's a bitch'n
Let's haul ass before the baby gets burned

Feels like nothin' happens fast enough
Well maybe I just want too much
But when something's wrong between us, baby
Nothin' feels right
I think it's time we cleared the air
Take a long drive far away somewhere
Tell me everything you feel inside
We got nothin' but time
Slide over, baby
Here by my side
I want to take you on a slow ride
On a slow ride
Your history shows on your face
Yeah, you've been hurt you've been betrayed
Now we can't change the past, but we can
Leave it behind
We'll forget about tomorrow, baby
We'll just steal away into the night
And we'll just be two shadows, darlin'
In the dashboard light
Slide over, baby
Here by my side
I want to take you on a slow ride
On a slow ride

You dust the bottles on the bar counter
You're writing screenplays on the side
Three nights a week can keep a girl workin
Sometimes it's good to lose your pride

These things we do to keep the flame burnin
And write our fire in the sky
Another day to see the wheel turnin
Another avenue to try

It's in the Luck of the Draw, Baby
The Natural Law
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
It's in the Luck of the Draw
The Natural Law
(flame keep on burnin)
Forget those movies you saw, little Baby
(wheel ever turnin)

You turn around and say it's last orders
You fix the ribbon in your hair
Tomorrow's letter by the hall doorway
Could be the answer to your prayers

Had a fight with my daughter
She flew off in a rage
Third time this week
Don't tell me it's the age
Don't know how I lost her
I only know that it's a shame
Ever since her daddy left
The girl ain't been the same
All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they could say can hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
Waiting there for me
Ah, who am I kiddin'
I should have known he'd never leave
The time we spend together
Is harder than the time between
You wouldn't think it could hurt so
To see 'em out the other day
If that's what he calls leavin'
I guess I threw it all away
All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they could say can hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
Waiting just for me
They say women, we're the stronger
Somehow we always make it through
Hell, that ain't what I feel right now
I don't even think it's true
To me there's lots more broken
Than anyone can really see
Why the angels turn their backs on some
It's a mystery to me
All at once I hear your voice
And time just slips away
Nothing they could say can hold me here
Take me where I only feel
The wind across my face
Let me know there's someplace left for me
