Groovin' & rollin' in any rotten town. Huntin' for Kicks, chicks, just foolin' round. Let me be why'are wild boy, send you flowers. Let me be why'are lover in the wee wee hours.
My baby's face shines like a sun. lipstick & powder won't help her none. she's a nightcat foolin' round. she's goin' to some fast place. stays out all night long.
I've seen times. where I didn't feel like. face another day. jumpin' off the highest roof. lay my head on a rail. sssplashin' on the sidewalk. creatin' more blood.
There's nothin' you can say. that's gonna tear me away. from my baby. There's nothin' you can do. 'cause I'll stick like glue. she's my girl. . I'll stick to my girl.
Goin' down the line, head up high. I wonder why it's so hard to feel fine. Got all I need plastic teeth, a pocket full of speed and I'm cool in the heat.
I'm sick of the city. sick of the heat. sick of 'm dopey nitwits. at the shootin' galery. sick from pickin' up the craps. from half the chicks that I touch.
Everybody's hungry for more. most people deserve it. you can't bottle up your desire. inside all the time. You want those jewels for your baby. buy a castle a pool full of wine.
It don't mean a thing. If it ain't got that swing. (doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah. Doo wah, doo wah, doo wah, doo wah). It don't mean a thing. All you got to do is sing.
Good evening ladies & gentlemen. The Brood in jazz. . I saw the genius come out of the bottle. freakin' out the old man in the candystore. a sad eyed jazz-cat tried to sell his trumpet.
Hot talk in the street. People goin' downtown. A-rollin' their sleeves. Spittin' their gum &. Leavin' their tracks. . for something new - something to do.
Rain is splashin' on my window. Like a sad song in my head. I always thought I could do without you very well. But I never felt this need so bad. . Gospel music on the radio.
I'm sittin' with Nelly. In front of the telly. I'm fillin' my belly. With a bottle of wine. Goin' with Kelly. To the cross-country rally. Up to Chez Nelly.
Like to be in de lime light. like to move around. like to be undercover. like to push it out. like to be in the spotlight. want my mama to be proud. A little schoolhater is doin' fine.
Every day you see if you're a star like me. An endless line of people. Some love, some hate you. Some only try to make a fool out of you. . Chorus:. But every once in a while.
Once there was a young girl. she was a good time fun girl. she went thru her younger life a saint. By the time she was sixteen. she got into this new thing.
His balance act was just a span. from the womb to the tomb. he took a bite in the the circus dust. wondrin' who can you trust. he took a bite in the the dust.
She came along. a feelin' hit me o so strong. I knew something was wrong. in my head. . We did our thing. never suspected a thing. wedding bells were about to ring.
To be a blind boy. such a fine thing. all the women gettin' faceless. to be a blind man. such a fine thing. when all the music's gettin' spaceless. . & when she comes.
Leaves come yellow and red. Wintertime is here. If you need me honey. You know I'm always there. . Forget what used to be. Make me smile. And say "stay with me.
This love of mine is far too strong. For me to understand. Try so hard - to find a way. To keep it in my hand. She got me tied, she got me blind. & me I lost command.
