"Pay For What You Get"

Work ourselves, fingers to the bone Suck the marrow, drain my soul Pay your dues, and your debts Pay your respect, everybody tells you You pay for what you get You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing Has she really lost her mind? I said, I couldn't tell you I've lost mine

Words, words, words, have you heard A bird in hand is much better than, Any number free to wander Fly away...stay You pay for what you get You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing Since she went away I said I couldn't tell you I'm okay, I'm okay Surprise, surprise you pay for what you get You pay for what you get

Everybody asks me how she's doing has she really lost her...

Everybody asks me how she's doing Since she went away I said I couldn't tell you I'm okay I'm okay How are you? You pay for what you get Pay for what you get..oh..oh...

"Best of What's Around"

Hey my friend It seems your eyes are troubled Care to share your time with me Would you say you're feeling low and so A good idea would be to get it off your mind

See you and me Have a better time than most can dream Have it better than the best So we can pull on through Whatever tears at us Whatever holds us down And if nothing can be done We'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but who you're with That really matters And hurts not much when you're around And if you hold on tight To what you think is your thing You may find you're missing all the rest

Well she ran up into the light surprised Her arms are open Her mind's eye is

Seeing things from a Better side than most can dream On a clearer road I feel Oh you could say she's safe Whatever tears at her Whatever holds her down And if nothing can be done She'll make the best of what's around

Turns out not where but what you think That really matters We'll make the best of what's around

"Lover Lay Down"

Spring sweet rhythm dance in my head Slip into my lover's hands Kiss me won't you kiss me now And sleep I would inside your mouth Don't be us too shy For knowing it's no big surprise that I will wait for you I will wait for no one but you

Oh please lover lay down Spend this time with me Together share this smile Lover lay down Spend this time with me Walk with me, walk with you Hold my hand your hands So much we have dreamed And you were so much younger Hard to explain that we are stronger A million reasons life to deny Let's toss them away See you and me we Lay down look see She and he By my lover's side Together share this smile Each other's tears to cry Together share this smile Lover lay down Oh please oh please Oh please lover lay down Oh please lover lay down And you weep Lover lay down Cause it's over Lover lay down

Say love, say love, say love, say love, say love Should I love you Could you love me Darling it's all the same 'Til we dance away Chasing me all around Leading me all around Leading me all around in circles Say...

"Say Goodbye"

So here we are tonight You and me together The storm outside, the fire is bright And in your eyes I see What's on my mind You've got me wild Turned around inside And then desire, see, is creeping Up heavy inside here And know you feel the same way I do now Now let's make this an evening Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight Stay here with me, love, tonight Just for an evening When we make Our passion pictures You and me twist up Secret creatures And we'll stay here Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends But tonight let's be lovers, We kiss and sweat We'll turn this better thing To the best Of all we can offer, Just a rogue kiss Tangled tongues and lips, See me this way I'm turning and turning for you Girl just tonight

Float away here with me An evening just wait and see But tomorrow go back to your man I'm back to my world And we're back to being friends Wait and see me, Tonight let's do this thing All we are is wasting hours until the sun comes up it's all ours On our way here Tomorrow go back to being friends

Go back to being friends Tonight let's be lovers, say you will And hear me call, soft-spoken whispering love A thing or two I have to say here Tonight let's go all the way then Love I'll see you, Just for this evening Let's strip down, trip out at this One evening starts with a kiss Run away

And tomorrow back to being friends Lovers...love...lovers Just for tonight, one night...love you And tomorrow say goodbye

"Crush"

Crazy how it feels tonight Crazy how you make it all alright love You crush me with the things you do I do for you anything too Sitting smoking feeling high In this moment it feels so right Lovely lady I am at your feet God I want you so badly I wonder this Could tomorrow be So wondrous as you there sleeping Let's go drive 'till morning comes Watch the sunrise to fill our souls up Drink some wine 'till we get drunk It's crazy I'm thinking Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down Is this real or am I dreaming Lovely lady Let me drink you please I won't spill a drop I promise you Lying under this spell you cast on me Each moment The more I love you Crush me Come on It's crazy I'm thinking Just knowing that the world is round Here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down Is it real or am I dreaming Lovely lady I will treat you sweetly Adore you I mean you crush me It's times like these When my faith I feel And I know how I love you Come on Lady It's crazy I'm thinking Just as long as you're around And here I'll be dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down To each other we'll be facing By love we'll beat back the pain we've found You know I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside My friend With each moment the more I love you Crush me Come on So much you have given love That I would give you back again and again Meaning I'll hold you And please let me always
