1. Somebody I Trusted
Why should I worry when I know you're in love with me
Why should I care when there's joy everywhere
How can't I see the magic of the light
When somebody I trusted, somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved, reached up and turned out the light
Turn my day into night - put out the light
Why should I hurry, when I know you're right behind me
It just ain't fair when there's love everywhere
How can I see the beauty of the light
When somebody I trusted, somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved, reached up and turned out the light
Turn my day into night - put out the light
Put out the light
I got this little melody
I think it's bringing the blues right down on me
Sometimes I hear a symphony
That's what I hear when someone gets the best of me
And I got this little melody
I think it's bringing the blues right down on me
Sometimes I hear a symphony
That's what I hear when someone's gettting the best of me
Somebody I trusted, somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I loved, reached up and turned out the light
Somebody I trusted, somebody I knew quite well
Somebody I trusted, must have been somebody I knew quite well
2. Dreaming As One
The morning dove singing
Her sweet lullaby
Her love is still thinking
Of how he replied
As I reach for you
You open your eyes
As if somehow you knew
The need in my life
As you always do
Slowly you come
And though we sleep as two
We're dreaming as one, dreaming as one
A child in his slumber
His world is at rest
I never wonder
Why I'm so blessed
As I lie with you
Awaking this day
I give my thoughts to you
I silently pray
That love will see us through
From darkness 'til dawn
Though we sleep as two
We're dreaming as one, dreaming as one
Oh now baby, dreaming as one,
Oh yeah, dreaming as one
Oh it feels so good, it feels so good sometimes
Wake up in the morning, just to wake up in the morning
And find you here beside me
I need you, baby, I need you, baby, oh yes
Oh it feels so good in the morning sometimes
Sometimes I just can't keep from crying
3. Same Old Blues
Well I heard that rumour that's going around?
You got a business, way across town
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
Well I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
Well I wrote you a letter, you must have read it wrong
Stood in your doorway but you were long gone
It took a lot of time to let the telephone ring
It's the same old blues, same old blues again
When you gave me the business, well did'nt mind
'Cause I've got a lot of patience and I got a lot of time
It's the same old story, tell me where does it end?
With the same old blues, same old blues again
Gonna find me a mountain, I'm gonna hide out
I ain't talking to you and I ain't coming out
'Cause I heard that rumour, tell me where does it end?
I heard the news, it's the same old blues again
Wow yes, maybe have you heard the news
I got the same old blues, I got the blues again
Have you heard that rumour,tell me where does it end?
With the same old blues, the same old blues again
Same old blues, I got the same old blues, yeah
Same old blues, I got the same old blues, yeah
Oooo oo same old blues, yeah
Tell me baby, why I got the blues
4. Lady Put Out The Light
Lady, put the light out, come and love me one more time
I will disconnect the 'phone
Then we will be all alone
Lady, put the light out, come and love me one more time
Lady, I want to tell you just how good you've always been
There were times when I thought I'd lose my way
But thanks to you girl, I'll always stay
Hey lady, take it easy, yeah, you can leave the rest to me
And I'll put the music on soft and low
And we'll play it all over again
We won't open our eyes until the end, end
Lady, put the light out, come and love me one more time
Hey, lady, put the light out, and you can leave the rest to me
I'll put the music on soft and low
And we'll play it all over again
We won't open our eyes until the end, the end
Lady, put the light out, come and love me one more time
5. Womanizer
Before I got to know you, when I didn't know any better
I would have swore all you'd got going for you bounced inside your sweater
Funny what a fool, what a fool you made of me
I was out for a thrill
You came in for the kill
And you brought this womanizer to his knees
Yes you did
I used to love the girls and leave them, that's the way I fought the battle
Then you had to come along, woman, and knock me off my saddle
Oh Mama, what a fool, what a fool you made of me
Well I was out for a thrill
You came in for the kill
And you brought this womanizer to his knees
Yes the womanizer met his match
And she left without a scratch
Who'd ever thought a woman would make such a mess of me
Who'd ever thought such a woman could make such a mess of me
Like a miser with his money, I counted lovers by the pieces
When I was living the works of Mailer, you were deep in Anna Seesez
I was out for a thrill
You came in for the kill
And you brought this womanizer to his knees
Yes the womanizer met his match
And she left without a scratch
Now who'd ever thought such a woman would make such a mess of me
Who'd ever thought such a woman could make such a mess of me
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, that's me
Womanizer, womanizer, womanizer, that's me
6. Blue Street
It's funny how our lives are like a prize fight
One day you're up and then you get knocked down
But I have learned the hurt can end
We can come up smelling like a rose again
Blue Street is a place that's in my past now
A few blocks down, but not too far away
It's time to take another turn
Go to a place where memories won't burn
'Cause there's a signpost hanging over the horizon
Waiting for me like an open door
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
I'm walking down the Avenue of Peace, now
I'm not swaying from the course I take
Lilywhite the flowers bloom
The sun is guiding every move I make
I'm not thinking of that old and lonesome Blue Street
It's a few blocks down, but not too far away
Time has come to take another turn
And leave her in the past to die and burn
'Cause there's a signpost hanging over the horizon
Waiting for me like an open door
I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
And I don't wanna walk down Blue Street, I've been there before
I don't wanna see her broken, lonely eyes no more
7. Gimme That Wine
Well my wife got tired of me running 'round, so she tried to keep me home
She hid my clothes,
She broke my nose
But I continued to roam.
Then she finally hit my weak spot - when she threw my bottle out
Well, from the basement to the rooftop, everybody could hear me shout...
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
'Cause I can't cut loose without my juice.
(Got to have my hot Lucy when I go out walking sometimes)
One day crossin the avenue, a big car knocked me down.
I was stretched out tying up traffic and crowds came from blocks around
While the police were searchin my pockets, before they sent me to the funeral parlour,
One of those cops touched my bottle, Jack, I jumped straight up and commenced to hollar
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
I just can't get well without Muskatel
One real dark and dreary night while I was staggering home to bed,y'all
A bandit jumped from the shadows and put a blackjack 'side my head.
That cat took my watch, my ring, my money, and I didn't even make a sound,
But when he reached up and got my bottle, you could hear me for blocks around
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Beat my head outta shape, but don't touch my grape.
One day my house caught fire while I was laying down sleeping off a nap
And when I woke up everything was burning with a pop and a crackle and a snap.
Well the fireman broke up my TV set and they tore my apartment apart,
But when he raised that axe to my bottle, Jack, I just cried with all my heart...
I said gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
I'll just have one toast before I roast.
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Nothing but the best for me
Wine (Gimme that wine)
Just gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
I just can't get well without Muskatel
I got to have some of that brew
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine)
Gimme that wine (Gimme that wine) .......
8. Rock And Roll Queen
She was wild, as a raging river
She was free as an earth blown wind
Rock and roll queen, rock and roll queen
Wow, wow, rock, rock, rock, rock
Her Daddy was a stud-dealing gentleman, known as the Golden Hand
Mama was a good-timing lady, ran off with a travelling man
At fourteen she became a woman, Lord, Lord, Lord, how it made her weep
And the only family she ever knew was the people out on the street, that's right
They said, wow, she's a soul-singing woman
She gets high with a rock and roll band
Wow she can sing with the guitar strumming
People, I swear you're gonna believe it's a hundred-piece band
Hey now, now, now
She made it for a while
As a flower child
On the streets of the old San Fran
Then she made her pitch just a-singing the blues with a hard rocking acid band
Her name up in lights,
From the gutter to the heights
Lord, it must have been a dream
And the people came from miles and miles around
Just to watch that rock and roll queen
You know what they said - they said
They said, wow, she's a soul-singing woman
She gets high with a rock and roll band
She can sing with the guitar strumming
I swear you're gonna believe
Swear you're gonna believe it's a hundred-piece band
Can't you hear the beat of the music
Lord don't it sound like thunder
Jimmy's got his guitar
Louie's playing that trumpet
Otis Redding sings a sad, sad song
Now, now, now, now, now, now
I can hear the lady singing now
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman
She gets high with a rock and roll band
She can sing with the guitar strumming
I swear you're gonna believe
People, yes you're going to believe
I know that you're going to believe ...
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman
Wow, she's a soul-singing woman
She gets high .......
9. Don't Explain
Hush now, don't explain
Just say you'll remain
I'm glad your back, don't explain
Quiet, don't explain
What is there to gain
Skip that lipstick
Don't cry, don't lie, explain
You know that I love you
And what love endures
All my thoughts of you
For I'm completely yours
Hurts to hear folks chatter
When they say you cheat
Right or wrong, don't matter
When you're with me, sweet
Hush now, don't explain
You're my joy and pain
My life's yours love
Don't explain
