She Said That She Loves You
(Bob Lawyer)
You say she don’t want you
And that she’s looking for some one new
But what she told me
Told me today
She said that she loves you
And she likes it that way
Don’t make her blue
She only wants to be with you
It’s clear to me
One look in her eyes and you’re gonna’ see
It’s true
What she told me today
She said that she loves you
And she likes it that way
Don’t miss your chance
She’s offering you romance
Don’t pass her by
Her love is yours if you only try
‘Cause she
Told me today
She said that she loves you
And she likes it that way
Call her tonight
Fill her heart with delight
If you wait
You might throw all of her love away
‘Cause she
Told me today
She said that she loves you
And she likes it that way

When You Look At Me
(Alice Olsen)
When You Look At Me
My heart opens like a flower to the sun
When You Look At Me
I tremble like my soul might come undone
All it takes to wake desire is the memory of your tender kiss
One touch can make me fall, I’ve never felt a love like this
When You Look At Me
When You Look At Me
I’m surrounded by a galaxy of light
When You Look At Me
I’m blinded by the fire you ignite
Defenseless and undone I surrender when I see your face
My hear is lost to you without a solitary trace
When You Look At Me
When You Look At Me
When You Look At Me
I remember how your kisses warm my skin
When You Look At Me
I’d gladly trade redemption for a sin
If you aren’t part of heaven then I don’t think I want to go
So let me spend my life surrounded by the love you show
When You Look At Me
When You Look At Me
When You Look At Me

So Neat, So Sweet
(Bob Lawyer)
So neat
So sweet
Being in love is where I want to be
In your arms
With your charms
We can keep each other nice and warm
When I think of you and me
That's the way I want it to be
I know that you agree
Our love is there for all to see
Each night
Each day
In your heart is where I want to stay
Your eyes
Your smile
I could be with you for a long long while
We buzz together like busy bees
Rockin' the hive and shakin' the leaves
Ain't nobody else gonna' climb our tree
It's just gonna' be you and me
I'm yours
You're mine
We enjoy each other all the time
Your lips
Your kiss
Puts me in a state of loving bliss
Your a treat
That can't be beat
No one else
Can compete
So neat
So sweet
Being in love is where I want to be
In your arms
With your charms
We can keep each other nice and warm

Me And Bonnie Raitt
(Alice Olsen)
She was standing in the produce picking out limes
When a tall drink of 30 something asked for the time
He said,”If your single, I’d ask you for a date”
She laughed and said “You’re ‘bout 20 years too late”
Now at 50 plus this hadn’t happened for awhile
It warmed her heart, it made her smile
She thought to herself “I guess I still look great”
Yeh, Me And Bonnie Raitt
Now Bonnie was her hero ‘cause she never grows old
She just keeps playing that rock and roll
That white streak in her hair don’t mean it’s time to slow down
She just digs down deeper for that blue funk sound
So our lady of the produce had a dance in her feet
People started looking as she walked down the street
She thought,”Bonnie’s the one I want to emulate”
It’ll be Me And Bonnie Raitt
When she got home to her husband he was mighty surprised
To see how she looked with that gleam in her eyes
He said, “ I’ve never seen you move like that before
What the hell happened to you at the store?”
“In the produce aisle I had a sudden leap
Of understanding that sweep me off my feet
You know age don’t mean a thing when your looking great
Look at Me And Bonnie Raitt
Yeh, look at Me And Bonnie Raitt”

Bring My Heart Around
(Bob Lawyer)
Come on Baby bring my heart around.
Don’t make ride on this merry-go-round.
Make me feel spell bound again.
Come on Baby bring your heart around.
Don’t share it all over town.
Get this web unwound my friend.
Will you risk the love we’ve had,
And let all go bad?
It’s up to you.
You can save our romance,
There is still another chance,
It’s in your hands.
You need to decide,
What you feel inside.
Come on Baby bring my heart around.
Don’t make ride on this merry go round.
Make me feel spell bound again.

Only A Mom
03:30

I overheard a mom today,
Talking 'bout her teenaged girls.
She told about the things they'd done
You could see they were her world.
Then she said, "I feel confused and lost,
Now my kids are almost grown.
I don't know who I'm supposed to be,
'Cause I'm ONLY A MOM."
But...
Chorus:
ONLY A MOM,
Can rock a child all through the night.
ONLY A MOM,
Can kiss and make things right.
ONLY A MOM,
Loves so unconditionally,
She holds her children tight,
Then sets them free,
ONLY A MOM.
I used to think my Mom stayed home,
'Cause that's all she could do.
I never knew her sacrifice,
Or what I put her through.
She gave up all her dreams
To help me be who I've become,
Now I'll tell anyone who says,
That she's ONLY A MOM
That...
Repeat Chorus
Bridge: You know when I get home I'm gonna call my mom,
And tell her what she means to me,
So she knows how much I love her,
She's what ONLY A MOM can be.
'Cause...
Repeat Chorus

( Bob Lawyer)
Tina My Ballerina,
Come and dance close to me,
Hold me in your arms,
Tell me it will always be,
Just you and me,
Forever.
Soon after I met you,
Knew you were the one for me.
After spending time with you,
I couldn’t help but see,
You could be so good
For me.
Oooh,
Now I love you.
Oooh,
Am thinking of you.
I never feel blue,
When I am with you.
In your special way,
You make it brighter day,
And send the grey,
Away.
Oooh,
I’m glad I found you.
Oooh,
You know it’s true.
Even when we’re older you’ll still be a thrill,
And in the night you’ll still make things bright.
Tina My Ballerina,
Come and dance close to me,
Hold me in your arms,
Tell me it will always be,
Just you and me,
With love the key,
So plain to see,.

Hot Pink Wig
(Alice Olsen)
The day her hair fell out she sat down and cried,
Then picked herself back up and stuffed her fear down deep inside.
She bought a brand new wig in a shade of bubblegum,
Then looked Death in the eye and said, "Bring it on."
"I won't be your victim, you can't take me down.
I'll fight tooth and nail 'til they put me in the ground."
Chorus:
She survived.
She's proud to be alive.
She turned the tables on the odds,
Came up a winner on the other side.
She didn't give a rip what the world might think,
She just stared down Death in her HOT PINK WIG.
The road was rough. Sometimes she wanted to give up,
Tired of drinking out of life's all too bitter cup.
But then she'd wear that wig and laugh away the past,
Take up a tough, hard day and live it like her last.
No time for grief or pity, a smile was on her face,
She struggled and she fought until she knew she'd won the race.
Repeat Chorus
And now that wig is sitting on a shelf,
Reminding her of what she learned about herself, uh huh.
She was stronger than she dreamed that she could ever be before,
Grateful for her life and wanting more.
Repeat Chorus
She didn't blink. She didn't flinch.
She didn't budge or give and inch,
She just stared down Death in her HOT PINK WIG.

Your Love Is Calling To Me
(Bob Lawyer)
I met you in the hall
First day at school in early Fall
We started being friends
And talked until the class begins
And then I fell for you
I could see that you felt that way too
Baby, baby, baby
Your love is calling to me
We’ll be alone somehow
Come be with me now
We went on our first date
I made sure that I wouldn’t be late
I gave you my first kiss
And thought it couldn’t get better than this
And when I took you home
I wished that we could be alone
Baby, baby, baby
Your love is calling to me
We’ll be alone somehow
Come be with me now
It could be just you and me true until the end
We could see what it’s like to be, being more than just friends
Baby, baby, baby
Your love is calling to me
We’ll be alone somehow
Come be with me now
At the end of the school year
With summertime drawing near
You said that you’d be mine
And stay with me ’til the end of time
I felt so close to you
With the love that always would be true
Baby, baby, baby
Your love is calling to me
We’ll be alone somehow
Come be with me now
We’ll be alone somehow

Blue Jeans Were Made For My Baby
(Alice Olsen)
Girls all sigh when my baby walks by,
In his tight blue jeans with the button down fly.
But his heart's as true as that indigo blue,
So I never mind if they check out the view.
Chorus:
BLUE JEANS WERE MADE FOR MY BABY.
Nobody else looks so good.
BLUE JEANS WERE MADE FOR MY BABY.
They hug him just where they should.
BLUE JEANS WERE MADE FOR MY BABY.
They fit like a magical spell.
BLUE JEANS WERE MADE FOR MY BABY,
And no one else wears them so well.
He smiles at them with that rebel grin,
And they all hope that he'll come back again.
Every Jill and Joan want to take him home,
But he's all mine, they can go find their own.
Repeat Chorus
Just looking at him takes my breath away,
He's the one I always hoped I'd find.
And I wouldn't want him dressed any other way,
I've got blue jeans on my mind.
Repeat Chorus

Like a bee working overtime
I’m bringing honey to the hive
Like a bee working overtime
I’m bringing honey to the hive
Without your good loving
You know I can’t survive
You’re the cream in my coffee cup
You’re the frosting on my cake
Yes, you’re the cream in my coffee cup
And you’re the frosting on my cake
You’re the only one I want
And you know that’s no mistake
You’re the gas in my Cadillac
You really make my motor run
Yes, you’re the gas in my Cadillac
You know you make my motor run
So keep on driving baby
Until my loving’s done
Like a bee working overtime
I’m bringing honey to the hive
Yes, like a bee working overtime
I bring that honey to the hive
And you know your good lovin’
Is what makes me come alive
I’m your bee and your my honey
So lets head for that hive
That’ no jive

My Lady
(Bob Lawyer)
Thinking ‘bout my lady,
My lady,
My lady,
Having her beside me
Is all I ever want
When I hold her tight
Everything’s alright
Need her by my side
Need her here tonight
Want to be with my lady
My lady,
My lady,
When she can’t be with me
It’s lonely while she’s gone
And when she’s far away
Its lonely here all day
It’s empty in the night
I’ll dream of her tonight
(guitar)
Thinking ‘bout my lady,
My lady,
My lady
When she’s here beside me
It’s all I ever want
She’s driving home tonight
I’m watching for the lights
I won’t have to be alone
I hear her coming home

Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
(Alice Olsen)
I rode that bucking bronco that some call love
Held on to forever with a rope and a glove
But love slipped through my fingers when my cowboy had to go
Just like that old rodeo he moved on to the next show
Gotta Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
All those cow punchers gonna break lots of hearts
I fell too hard before now I don’t want no part
Gotta Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
A cowboy can’t be tied down to a family and a home
He’s got a restless heart that’s only happy when he roams
I know mine really meant it when he said that he loved me
But just like those wild mustangs, I had to set him free
Gotta Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
All those cow punchers gonna break lots of hearts
I fell too hard before now I don’t want no part
Gotta Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
When love comes charging at me like a bull out of his pen
I just hope that I can duck and dodge the pain again
Gotta Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
All those cow punchers gonna break lots of hearts
I fell too hard before now I don’t want no part
Gotta Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts
Get Out Of Town Before The Rodeo Starts

Rusty Old Car
(Bob Lawyer )
Rusty Old Car
My rusty old car
Won't go very far
But that doesn't bother me
If I get to your place
And see your face
There's no where else I'd rather be
I may have to push
And skip some gears
Every mile I go
Gets me nearer
And you will be
Waiting for me
There at the top of the rise
I'll turn off the key
And get to see
The love in your eyes
The frame of my car
Is twisted and broken
It looks like it's falling apart
I climb through the window
Cause the doors won't open
I hope the engine's gonna' start
If I get it runnin'
Down the highway
It won't be long
Till I come up your driveway
And you will be
Waiting for me
There at the top of the rise
I'll turn off the key
And get to see
The love in your eyes
I've turned the wheel hard
To roll down the yard
Can hear the gears start to spin
I'll pop the clutch
I hope it won't take much
To get the motor goin' again
If it starts to rumble
And picks up speed
That's all I'm
Gonna' need
Cause you will be
Waiting for me
There at the top of the rise
I'll turn off the key
And get to see
The love in your eyes
I know you'll be
Waiting for me
With love in your eyes

Bad, Bad Way
02:41
|
|||
|
Woke up this morning and you were gone,
All that you left me was a sad, sad song.
No good bye letter, no last words were said,
You broke my heart and left me here for dead.
Chorus:
I've got you in a BAD, BAD WAY,
Without you I don't know what to say,
I walk around in a daze all day,
I've got you in a BAD, BAD WAY.
This restless feeling's got me going mad.
You were the worst thing that I ever had.
But I still crave you, yah, I need your touch.
You are the sickness that I love so much.
Repeat Chorus
Ain't no cure for heartache,
Healing just takes time.
I only wish there was a way,
To get you off my mind.
Repeat Chorus

Cautious Life
(Alice Olsen)
She bought her first cigarettes at 80
Thought she might give ‘em a try
She was too short on life already
Wanted something risky before she died
She raised three kids six dogs and a husband
Now she visits his stone on the hill
Put herself last right up to the end
All that’s left now is time to kill
She always lived a cautious life
A good mother and a faithful wife
Always so responsible
Never dreaming the impossible
But times too short for another “no”
No looking back, she’s ready to go
She’s not thinking twice
Let go of her cautious life
She always wished that she could see Paris
Or take a motorcycle ride
But her dreams made her embarrassed
She gave em up too afraid to try
Repeat chorus
You know it’s never too late to turn around
Shake up life and turn it upside down
Never to late to try something new
Life’s too short and dreams are too few
Repeat chorus

Bass Beat
(Bob Lawyer)
I can hear it booming from next door
It sounds like someone’s pounding on my door
It vibrates everything in the room
Like a pile driver banging in a tomb
I can’t find a retreat
From neighbor’s bass beat
They’ve got their stereo turned up real loud
It almost seems like they’re real proud
To bombard the neighborhood with their tunes
I just wish it would end real soon
I can’t find a retreat
From neighbor’s bass beat
They’re making me crazy
They’re driving me insane
Still I hate to call and complain
They’re real good neighbors
In every other way
I just wish they’d be quiet today
The pictures are rattling on my wall
It’s so loud I can’t sleep at all
From the early morning ’til middle of the night
Their stereo is blasting with all its might
I can’t find a retreat
From neighbors bass beat
It would be so sweet
To stop the neighbors bass beat

If You've Never Had Tequila
(Alice Olsen)
IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
You wouldn't understand,
How a faithful, loving woman,
Could be with another man,
Even though she's wearing,
Your ring on her left hand.
IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
You wouldn't understand.
IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
It might not be so clear,
How her hurting heart was needing him,
To say what she wanted to hear.
She forgot your broken promises,
When he held her near.
But IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
It might not be so clear.
One drink, she numbs the heartache.
Two drinks, there goes her pain.
Three drinks she doesn't care no more,
That she don't know his name.
Four drinks, she only knows,
He can help her make a start,
Pretending everything's okay,
And love didn't fall apart.
But IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
You probably wouldn't know,
How his arms could give her heart the strength,
To love and let you go.
And the emptiness you're reaping,
Comes from the seeds you sow.
But IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
You probably wouldn't know.
IF YOU'VE NEVER HAD TEQUILA,
You might not understand,
She wouldn't be needing Tequila,
If you'd loved her like a man.

YOU COULD HAVE HAD ME
(Bob Lawyer)
YOU COULD HAVE HAD ME,
If you wanted me.
I wanted you,
To say you’d be true.
But that’s not what,
You were ready to do.
So now I’m looking for someone new.
You were upfront,
About the way you felt.
You didn’t want,
To be tied down.
But what I did,
Was to fool myself,
By thinking it would change somehow.
YOU COULD HAVE HAD ME,
If you wanted me.
I wanted you,
To say you’d be true.
But that’s not what,
You were ready to do.
So now I’m looking for someone new.
I feel glad,
For the love we’ve had.
But I feel blue,
I can’t stay with you,
‘Cause that would bring,
More heartache,
And I’ve had all that I can take.
But YOU COULD HAVE HAD ME,
If you wanted me.
I wanted you,
To say you’d be true.
But that’s not what,
You were ready to do.
So now I’m looking for someone new.
I wish it could have been just me and you.

Love's The Only Thing That's Real
(ALice Olsen)
John Lennon came to me in a dream last night.
It was nice of him to take time out from heaven.
He told me he and George were doing all right,
Playing songs with Elvis, man that's really livin'!
Then he asked why no one listened to his words,
And imagined how the world could be.
He said; "all you need is love" wasn't just a crazy verse,
But a truth to live by, meant for you and me.
And he said,
Chorus:
LOVE'S THE ONLY THING that's real.
LOVE'S THE ONLY THING to feel.
Love's the only way to make the world a better place.
LOVE'S THE ONLY THING that's real.
Then John sat down with me and sang a song,
He sang about a world that had no fear,
And George and Elvis came to sing along,
And the meaning of the moment was so clear.
And I saw the people following his voice,
Singing songs of love and peace in harmony,
And across the universe everybody made a choice,
Knowing LOVE'S THE ONLY THING that can set you free.
And they sang,
Repeat Chorus
Then I woke up and wrote this song for you to hear,
So love won't have to wait another day, another year.
Repeat Chorus
