SENDING MONEY FOR A MATE
You said if I send money to your ministry
that God will give me JUST WHAT I WANT.
Well here's my hundred bucks
and now in my bed
loneliness will no longer
rise up to haunt and to taunt.
I've sent you my lean green
now pray to God for me
to send a tall, dark handsome man
who wants to marry.
Here's my donation
to your "Christian" organization.
So I want you to command
the good Lord to find me a MAN!
Sending money for a mate.
I think it's a good deal.
I thought it was too late.
It's almost a steal.
For a hundred greenbacks
to get a man to love.
well yes indeedy I'll thank
the good Lord up above.
Here's my money now SEND MY HONEY.
I'm out looking at a wedding gown.
Please don't let me down.
Sending money for a mate.
How sad I had felt.
I thought I'd be a babysitter
left on the shelf.
But you said if I sent you bucks
that God will give me good luck.
Here's my money now SEND MY HONEY.
I'm expecting that handsome hunk
w/ lots of looks and at least a little spunk.
I'm sending you my money for a man.
Tell the good Lord you have at your command
that you're going to send one to my address.
I'll be waiting here in a wedding dress.
Here's my money now SEND MY HONEY.
Yeah! Here's my money. SEND MY HONEY.
Hehehehehehehehe.

WAY DOWN IN THE DARK
Chorus
Deep in the night, way down in the dark,
you're a greedy beast that eats the soul out of my heart.
And you don't leave nothin', not even spit.
Oh daddy, don't you think that you're it?
Deep in the night, way down in the dark ( repeat line )
-----------------------
Deep in the dark, as the streetlights yearn
to taste the wanton fire that inside of you does
burn.
You're runnin' wild and free, no one can tie you down.
Scarlet flame and rubies bleedin', that's how you paint the town...
deep in the night, way down in the dark ( repeat line )
Hon, I wouldn't scold you....
yeah! It'd be that good!
Deep in the night, way down in the dark ( repeat line )
-----------------------
Repeat Chorus
way down in the dark...
way down in the dark.....

SEARCHING FOR THE GYPSY KINGl
Some women dream about
a knight in shining armor
while others are waiting for
their prince on a white horse.
Safe and secure in a
sheltered little cage,
they are too timid to
seek another course.
Women are looking for their Mister Right
but I'm drawn by Bohemia's campfires bright.
-------------------------
Chorus
I'm a wild free bird whose on the wing
and I'm searching for the gypsy king.
-------------------------
Somewhere there's a gypsy king
w/ golden earrings in his ears.
I'll dance to a song of desire
played for me by the music of the spheres.
Somewhere there's a gypsy king
w/ eyes that will caress me in the dark night.
And my blanket will be his hair
that is black as the midnight.
-------------------------
Repeat Chorus
A gypsy king and a gaily painted caravan ---
I see it in my heart and soul!
I'm searching for the gypsy king
and when I find him I'll never let him go.
Repeat Chorus Twice

BUT I DON'T DARE
Chorus
I see you standing there, that look in your eyes,
you w/ the long dark hair.
Oo oo I want to tell you that I care ---
but I don't dare.
-------------------
The intensity in your walk
the sneer on your face when you talk.
I want to tell you how much I love you ---
but I don't dare.
----------------------
I want to hold you. I want to hold you
close to my heart and soul.
I want to love you like no one's ever loved you
and never ever let you go....
Repeat Chorus
I want to hold you in the dark.
I want to love you w/ all of my heart
Repeat Chorus
Oo oo I want to tell you that I care ----
but I don't dare
to tell you that I love you.
I want to tell you that I love you
but i don't dare. No, I don't dare....

WILD AS WIND
Chorus
Wild as wind. You will not tame me.
Wild as wind. You can not claim me.
My laughter, my smile, live up around the bend; a wayward mile,
somewhere you have never been. Wild, I am wild. Wild as wind.
Wild. I am wild. Wild as wind.
--------
Mad as flame.I would only burn you.
Mad as flame. The hunger rages through
to leave you hollow and aching.
If you follow me every dream will be breaking.
Mad. I am mad. Mad as flame.
Mad. I am mad. Mad as flame.
---------
Free as wave. You will never catch me.
Free as wave. Free! I must be free!
To dance in the foam, in the chill of the deep.
Solitude, my tasty bone, would only make you weep. Free. I am free. Free
as wave.
Free. I am free. Free as wave.
---------
Repeat Chorus
I am wild as wind. I am wild as wind.
Wild as wind. You will not tame me.
Wild as wind. You can not claim me,
I am wild as wind, wild as wind.
I am wild as wind.
Wild as wind. You will not tame me.....

This was sort of written about one of my sisters after her divorce.
CATS,KIDS AND THE SKIDS
Chorus
Sometimes in the night I awake in a fright.
I hear a sound outside my window or my door.
Is it just the wind howling through the trees?
Or is it something sinister that I shouldn't ignore? Cats, kids and the
skids.
I'm a woman alone.
And it's my responsilbity
to provide the security of a home.
---------
I can't let the children know
that when the wind is whining low
I get so afraid of things
that go bump in the night.
I get so afraid and I
wake up w/ a fright.
"Mommy, can I sleep w/ you?
I'm afraid of the dark."
Mommy says "Sure" and hopes
they don't hear
the frightened beat of her own
trembling heart.
Repeat Chorus
Cats, kids and the skids
and I'm just trying to get by.
And in the night I have to stifle
my own frightened cry.
Cats, kids and the skids.
And mommy's got to be strong.
Mommy's got to take care of them.

LOVING YOU, LOVING YOU SO
Chorus
Yearning sinks way down inside of my soul.
Like a snowy blizzard blowing chill and cold.
Why these feelings assault me, baby,I don't know. But I'm loving you,
loving you so.
------------
And the night's nasty fingers grasp ahold of my heart! The echo of
yestersday's memories mocks my weary drems in the dark.
Like a moon's flame, a frozen gleam, the torch does blaze and glow
and I'm loving you, loving you so.
-------------
Take away the traces of the hopes
of what could have been.
The pain is a wash that can't cleanse
the dirty passion of desire's greedy sin.
Repeat Chorus
Yes baby,I'm loving you, loving you so.
