Its only been a little while since you walked through my door. But I've heard enough, seen to much, to want you anymore. Why did you have to go and tell me lies, lies, lies. So here's the news, our loving days are through. You walked right in and strut your stuff like a star from a movie screen. Your all butter wouldn't melt with your big blue eyes, the best I've ever seen. Why did you have to go and leave me cry, cry, crying. So here's the news, my loving days are through. You won't love me, love me, love me. You won't even kiss and hug me. So c'mon girl here's what I'm telling you. I'm not gonna listen anymore when you say your love is true. So c'mon girl, our loving' days are through. I've had enough of your fun and games, they don't thrill me like they should. You've wondered round loves lost and found, dragged your name right through the mud. Your not gonna see me break my back and try, try, try now. So here's the news, your loving days are through. You won't love me, love me, love me. You won't even kiss and hug me. So c'mon girl here's what I'm telling you. I'm not gonna listen anymore when you say your love is true. So here's the news, our loving' days are through.

Left you all alone, sitting by the telephone. Dry those tear drop eyes, no need to agonise. But this long and winding road is getting shorter with every turn. Now baby, I'm coming home. Yes I'm coming home. Just another day, I'll be on my way. I'll be back in time, before the morning bells chime. But my plans about to change, again and again and again. Now baby, I'm coming home. I'm coming home. Just a little time, a little bit longer. A week, a couple days or more. Don't get mad honey, no cold shoulder. I'll be home before you know. Just a little time, a little bit longer. A week, a couple days or more. Don't get mad honey, no cold shoulder. I'll be home before you know. Now I'm back again, you moved in with a friend. Won't return my calls, don't wanna talk to me at all. So my plans about to change, again and again and again. Now baby, I'm coming home. Yes I'm coming home. I'm coming home, I'm coming home.

Tearing out the pages of my little black book, deleting old photos that I took. Hiding from girls that I used to know, blocking them don't tell them where I go. So don't you worry now, don't be scared. I wouldn't do it if I didn't care. Throwing away all those love letters, thats one way we could make it all better. Deliveries are coming with a lighter load, now do you believe just what your told. Don't you worry, don't be scared. I wouldn't do it if I didn't care. You know I wouldn't do it if I didn't care. You know I wouldn't do it if I didn't care. Say I done you wrong almost every day, don't you know there is a better way. We can laugh and sing, have a good time, you know that you'll feel better after plenty more wine. Don't you worry now, don't be scared. I wouldn't do it if I didn't care.

Take My Hand 04:32
Take my hand, take my hand. For your tender touch I would march across this land. Take my hand, take my hand. Trust me baby, let me be your lovin' man. Walk with me, walk with me. Go so far to spy the ships out on the sea. Walk with me, walk with me. Hold me baby, like this was mean't be. I know that your troubled days are few, but my troubled days are all but through. Write me a letter, sealed with that kiss. Hang on every word, from that girl I always miss. I know that your troubled days are few, but don't you know baby my troubled days are all but through. You gonna write me a letter, your gonna seal it with that kiss. Hang on every word, from that girl I always miss. Take my hand, take my hand. For your tender touch I would march across this land. Take my hand, take my hand. Trust me baby and take my hand.

I have left you, yes I did. Come back one morning, and packed my things. I moved away, so you wouldn't find. Where I am now, oh my piece of mind. My piece of mind. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Now you ask me, where I am. Everything I'm doing and where you stand. I don't talk much, so honey hush. Still got some secrets and you out of touch. Your out of touch. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Now your back, wanna be my friend. Asking questions about who I'm seeing. You go ask if, if I'm alone. Don't you break my, this happy home. My happy home. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me. Stop checkin' on me.

Poor Boy 02:57
Got dirt on his hands but he don't wear no frown. Got nothing left but that don't get him down. He's got a little woman and nothing to loose. Got a lot to gain and a lot to prove. He's a little, just a little poor boy. He's a little, yes a little poor boy. He's a little poor boy and he aint all sweetness and light. Got no coins to rub or no pot to use. Got no credit for his fancy suit. Well tiny little tiger you can here him roar. So much louder than he did before. He's a little, just a little poor boy. He's a little, yes a little poor boy. He's a little poor boy and he aint all sweetness and light. Got no coins to rub or no pot to use. Well he's got no credit for his fancy suit. Tiny little tiger you can here him roar. I said so much louder than he did before. He's a little, just a little poor boy. He's a little, yes a little poor boy. He's a little poor boy and he aint all sweetness and light.

Whatever happened to my girl. Innocent smile and hair that curls. She won't give me anytime, she's leaving me behind. Whatever happened to that girl. She's hanging round with someone new. My soul is battered and blue. When you're done with your hip new friends, come talk to me again. Whatever happened to that girl. Won't you please come talk to me. I'm so sorry now you see. I know it's all my fault, but I've sorted myself out. Whatever happened to my girl.

Champagne taste, lemonade money. Sparkling jewel makes her finger go all funny. Gone all green 'cause it's a cheap ass ring. So hard to please but she's a pretty little thing. She's a pretty little thing. Even got a diamond ring. Fine furs, diamond and silk, I've only got money for strawberry milk. She only likes the finer things in life, so hard to please such trouble and strife. So c'mon baby why you hard to please. If you wanna smile why don't you tell you face. You just a porcelain doll, you only sit in state. I wanna mile you only give me an inch. So hard to please to cheer you up a pinch. She's a pretty little thing. Even got a diamond ring. All spent up done all I can, you've moved on to another man. A walking goliath with plenty of cash So hard to please my turn has passed. So c'mon baby why you hard to please.

Joan Glover 02:49
Go tell her, that I will go to her. Late at night when the moon is bright, everything will be alright. Her name is Joan Glover and someday she will be my wife. Go find her, working a late night bar. She's been there for three years working at the bottom of town. She's my little queenie and someday she will wear my crown. Go Joan Glover go! She don't want you she don't need you. No, no, no. She don't want you she don't need you. No, no, no. She don't want you she don't need you. No, no, no. She don't want you she don't need you. I can't find her, she left me standing here. Underneath the pale moonlight, I get the hint, I'm not alright. Her name is Joan Glover and she don't want to be my wife. She don't want you she don't need you. No, no, no. She don't want you she don't need you. No, no, no. She don't want you she don't need you. No, no, no.

Red hair and emerald eyes, waiting by the dance floor to get her guy. Stood there legs long and lean. Looking like a former beauty queen. She's a leg shakin' mamma. Oooh leg shakin' mamma. Yeah, leg shakin' mamma. Shake it to the break of dawn. No last train gonna take her home, she don't wanna leave the dance all alone. A woman who's stacking up her yesterdays, waiting for prince charming to take her away. She's a leg shakin' mamma. Oooh leg shakin' mamma. Yeah, leg shakin' mamma. Shake it to the break of dawn. In the end she don't care, all the younger gentlemen stop and stare. This little game she's played before, come back tomorrow and play before. She's a leg shakin' mamma. Oooh leg shakin' mamma. Yeah, leg shakin' mamma. Shake it to the break of dawn.

I Wanna Know 02:22
I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know, tell me how. Tell me how, I wanna know. Tell me baby how you shake like that, my two flat feet don't move that fast. You shake, shake shimmer like an apple tree, but your sugar don't fall near me. I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know, tell me how. Tell me how, I wanna know. You see me here almost all the time but you won't sit and share my wine. You'd rather dance with those other guys but your moves you know they hypnotise. I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know, tell me how. Tell me how, I wanna know. Tell me girl why you far away, c'mon move and shake this way. It's time that you tried me out so it's tasty pudding time, give me a shout! Tell me what I want to know. I aint finished what I'm saying yet, one last chance to impress. I wanna know what makes you dance. Now whisper to me dear and give me a chance. Tell me what I want to know.
