Smooth

Man it's a hot one
Like seven inches from the
midday sun
I hear your whisper and the words
melt everyone
But you stay so cool
My Muñequita, my Spanish Harlem
Mona Lisa
You're my reason for reason
The step in my groove

And if you said this life
ain't good enough
I would give my world to lift you up
I could change my life to better
suit your mood
Cause you're so smooth

And it's just like the ocean
under the moon
Well that's the same as the emotion
that I get from you
You got the kind of lovin that could
be so smooth
Give me your heart make it real
Or else forget about it

Well I'll tell you one thing
If you would leave it'd be a
crying shame
In every breath and every word
I hear your name calling me out
Out from the barrio, you hear
my rhythm on your radio
You feel the turning of the
world so soft and slow
Turning you round and round

Rest Stop

Just three miles from the rest stop
And she slams on the brakes
She said I tried to be what I'm not
And could you please collect your things
I don't wanna be cold I don't wanna be cruel
But I gotta find more than what's happening with you
So if you'd open up my door

(chorus)She said while you were sleeping
I was listening to the radio and wondering what you're dreaming
When it came to mind that I didn't care
So I thought hell it's over
And I'd better end it quick or I could lose my nerve
Are you listening?
Can you hear me?
Have you forgotten?

Just three miles from the rest stop
My mouth's too dry to speak it
The light was shining from the radio
And I could barely see her face
But she knew of the words that I never had said
She knew the crumpled up promise of a broken down man
And as I opened up the door

(chorus)

I've forgotten
Have you forgotten?
You just don't love..love..like I love

(chorus twice)

Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?

Heavy

It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving up
Man I thought that you were joking
And I'm broken

You run for a little while
We pass it on try something else
Yeah you know that you're the one
You turned on me
Cause that's the way I heard it was supposed to be
Right away you start thinking 'bout
The wrong things and start giving up
Yeah you know that we're all quitters
Big sinners
Tell me cause I don't understand
Just how to be more to the right
You know, you know that means so much

(chorus)Turn on me
Yeah cause I'm so sick and thin
Do you remember where you were when things were
Heavy

So go
You could sell me about anything
And I'll buy because I like your face
You know that I'm a sucker
A little f*cker
You tell me it's only me
And I'll tell you it's only you
Cause only you can make me weak

(chorus)

When things were heavy
Yeah I'm so sick and thin
It's bad enough that we had to learn
The hard way about giving in
Man I thought that you were joking

You and I and I

It's for sure
Things came down hard
But you couldn't wait here
All I ever think about is myself
Well and anyone else
They get strung out
But I get high, high, high

But there's one thing you better get straight
I don't got no room in my life
It's up the anchor and set it straight

(chorus)Well stop, well I, I don't want to thank you honey
I don't think so
You better stop
Well try
Cause if there's a distance here between us, it's you and I and I, I, I, I

Yeah well it's a shame
You pander to me
Come on stroke on my ego
Like it's never been stroked before hell by anyone else
And when it doesn't kill you
It makes you linger..
And it makes you wonder

For goodness sake, have you ever been asleep
Thinking one thing, I'd be here
What doesn't kill you doesn't stay

Cover Songs

Time After Time (Cyndi Lauper)

Lying in my bed I hear the clock tick, and think of you
Caught up in circles confusion is nothing new
Flashback warm nights almost left behind
Suitcase of memories,
Time after,

Somtimes you picture me
I'm walking to far ahead
You're calling to me, I can't hear what you've said
Then you say go slow
I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

(chorus)
If your lost you can look and you will find me
Time after time
If you fall I will catch you I'll be waiting
Time after time

After my picture fades and darkness has turned to gray
Watching through windows you're wondering if I'm O.K.
Secrets stolen from deep inside
The drum beats out of time

(chorus)

You said go slow, I fall behind
The second hand unwinds

(chorus twice)

time after time
time after time
time after time

Mercy Mercy Me (Marvin Gaye)

Woo ah, mercy mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Where did all the blue skies go?
Poison is the wind that blows from the north and south and east
Woo mercy, mercy me, mercy father
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Oil wasted on the ocean and upon our seas, fish full of mercury
Ah oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be, no no
Radiation under ground and in the sky
Animals and birds who live nearby are dying
Oh mercy, mercy me
Ah things ain't what they used to be
What about this overcrowded land
How much more abuse from man can she stand?
Oh, na na...
My sweet Lord... No
My Lord... My sweet Lord

Nothing Compares 2 U (Prince)

It's been seven hours and fifteen days
Since u took your love away
I go out every night and sleep all day
Since u took your love away
Since u been gone I can do whatever I want
I can see whomever I choose
I can eat my dinner in a fancy restaurant
But nothing
I said nothing can take away these blues
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
It's been so lonely without u here
Like a bird without a song
Nothing can stop these lonely tears from falling
Tell me baby where did I go wrong
I could put my arms around every girl I see
But they'd only remind me of you
I went to the doctor n'guess what he told me
Guess what he told me
He said boy u better have fun
No matter what u do
But he's a fool
Cause nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

All the flowers that u planted, mama
In the back yard
All died when u went away
I know that living with u baby was sometimes hard
But I'm willing to give it another try
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u
Nothing compares
Nothing compares 2 u

Fascination Street (The Cure)

Oh it's opening time down on fascination street
So let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit
Because I feel it all fading and paling
And I'm begging to drag you
Down with me to kick the last nail in
Yeah I like you in that
Like I like you to scream
But if you open your mouth
Then I can't be responsible for quite what goes in
Or to care what comes out

So just pull on your hair
Just pull on your pout
And let's move to the beat
Like we know that it's over
If you slip going under slip over my shoulder

So just pull on your face
Just pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time down on fascination street

So pull on your hair
Pull on your pout
Cut the conversation just
Open your mouth
Pull on your face
Pull on your feet
And let's hit opening time down on fascination street

Don't Let Me Down (The Beatles)

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

Nobody ever loved me like she does,
oo, she does, yeh, she does
And if somebody loved me like she do me,
oo, she do me, yes, she does

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

I'm in love for the first time
Don't you know it's gonna last
It's a love that lasts forever,
It's a love that had no past

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

And from the first time that she really done me,
oo, she done me, she done me good
I guess nobody ever really done me,
oo, she done me, she done me good

Don't let me down, don't let me down
Don't let me down, don't let me down

You Can't Always Get What You Want (The Rolling Stones)

I saw her today at the reception
A glass of wine in her hand
I knew she would meet her connection
At her feet was her footloose man

No, you can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometime you find
You get what you need

We went down to the demonstration
To get your fair share of abuse
Singing, "We're gonna vent our frustration
If we don't we're gonna blow a 50-amp fuse"

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes well you just might find
You get what you need

I went down to the Chelsea drugstore
To get your prescription filled
I was standing in line with Mr. Jimmy
And man, did he look pretty ill
We decided that we would have a soda
My favorite flavor, cherry red
I sung my song to Mr. Jimmy
Yeah, and he said one word to me, and that was "dead"
I said to him

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You get what you need

You get what you need--yeah, oh baby

I saw her today at the reception
In her glass was a bleeding man
She was practiced at the art of deception
Well I could tell by her blood-stained hands

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
You can't always get what you want
But if you try sometimes you just might find
You just might find
You get what you need

Never Going Back Again (Fleetwood Mac)

She broke down and let me in
Made me see where I've been

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

You don't know what it means to win
Come down and see me again

Been down one time
Been down two times
I'm never going back again

*Yup, those are the entire lyrics to that song. They repeat it all a lot, so they somehow turn it into a three minute song.*

Momma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys (Written by Ed & Patsy Bruce and performed by Willie Nelson)

Chorus:
Mama don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
Don't let them pick guitars and drive in old trucks
Make 'em be doctors and lawyers and such
Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys
They'll never stay home and they're always alone
Even with someone they love

Cowboys ain't easy to love and they're harder to hold
And they'd rather give you a song than diamonds or gold
Lone Star belt buckles and old faded Levis
And each night begins a new day
And if you don't understand him and he don't die young
He'll probably just ride away

(Repeat chorus)

A cowboy loves smokey old pool rooms and clear mountain mornings
Little warm puppies and children and girls of the night
Them that don't know him won't like him and them that do
Sometimes won't know how to take him
He's not wrong he's just different and his pride won't let him
Do things to make you think he's right

(Repeat chorus...)

Thank you Rebecca! :)

Eminence Front (The Who)

The 1 shines
And people forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
And people forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
And people forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - It's a put on.

Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party
Dress to kill.

The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding.

Behind an eminence front
Eminence front - it's a put on
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to
Come on join the party
Dress to kill
Dress yourself, dressed to kill.

Lonely Weekends (Charlie Rich)

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends

Since you left me
I've been as lonely as a I can be
Oooh, those lonely weekends

(Chorus)
Said you'd be good to me
Said our love would never die
Said you'd be good to me
But, baby, you didn't even try

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends

(Chorus)

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends

(Chorus)

Well I make it alright
From Monday morning 'til Friday night
Oooh, those lonely weekends
Oooh, those lonely weekends
Oooh, those lonely weekends
Oooh, those lonely weekends...

All Along the Watchtower (Bob Dylan)

"There must be some kind of way out of here"
Said the joker to the thief
"There's too much confusion
I can't get no relief
Businessmen they drink my wine
Plowmen dig my earth
None of them along the line know what any of it is worth"

"No reason to get excited"
The thief, he kindly spoke
"There are many here among us
Who feel that life is but a joke
But you and I, we've been through that
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now, the hour is getting late"

All along the watchtower
Princes kept the view
While all the women came and went
Barefoot servants, too

But outside in the cold distance
A wildcat did growl
Two riders were approaching
And the wind began to howl

Sweet Home Alabama (Lynyrd Skynyrd)

Big wheels keep on turning
Carry me home to see my kin
Singing songs about the Southland
I miss Alabamy once again
And I think its a sin, yes

Well I heard mister Young sing about her
Well, I heard ole Neil put her down
Well, I hope Neil Young will remember
A Southern man don't need him around anyhow

(Chorus)
Sweet home Alabama
Where the skies are so blue
Sweet Home Alabama
Lord, I'm coming home to you

In Birmingham they love the governor
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me
Does your conscience bother you?
Tell the truth

(Chorus)

Here I come Alabama
Now Muscle Shoals has got the Swampers
And they've been known to pick a song or two
Lord they get me off so much
They pick me up when I'm feeling blue
Now how about you?

(Chorus)

Sweet home Alabama
Oh sweet home baby
Where the skies are so blue
And the governor's true
Sweet Home Alabama Lord, I'm coming home to you
Yea, yea Montgomery's got the answer

Watching The Wheels (John Lennon)

People say I'm crazy doing what I'm doing
Well they give me all kinds of warnings to save me from ruin
When I say that I'm o.k. well they look at me kind of strange
Surely you're not happy now you no longer play the game

People say I'm lazy dreaming my life away
Well they give me all kinds of advice designed to enlighten me
When I tell them that I'm doing fine watching shadows on the wall
Don't you miss the big time boy you're no longer on the ball

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go

Ah, people asking questions lost in confusion
Well I tell them there's no problem, only solutions
Well they shake their heads and they look at me as if I've lost my mind
I tell them there's no hurry
I'm just sitting here doing time

I'm just sitting here watching the wheels go round and round
I really love to watch them roll
No longer riding on the merry-go-round
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go
I just had to let it go

Thank you so much Mary for corrections on You and I and I and Heavy!

I'm also looking for lyrics to the songs 'Happy' and 'Marisol's Song'. If you could give them to me, I will give you oodles upon oodles of credit. :)
