I got the call tonight You drifted up in the sky Turning the day to night I was here sleeping I was just seeing you Sitting up in your room Wasting an hour or two I was here dreaming Now roses in blue and red Circle around your head You won't hear what we said Lying there sleeping Must be the dust in my eyes I am starting to cry No, love this can't be right You were only dreaming Now you're just sleeping Oh wop wop Doo wop wop ba Doo wop wop Ooh wop wop ba Doo wop wop Ooh wop wop ba Doo wop wop ooh Pictures and candlelights Holding you close to-night Hymnals your lullaby Lying their drifting And while shoulders sway Ghosts come to light your way Make a mark on the day You left us weeping And momma won't understand A flower tucked in her hand You were her little man Growing up dreaming And my love how can this be? You you were so close to me But closed eyes just could not see You were only dreaming Now you're just sleeping Lying there sleeping You were only dreaming

Loner Song 02:31
I take to flight In the heat of the night You give me romance And I'll put up a fight I don't need love to keep warm In the place of the sun You give me moonlight Instead of humans I'll take the birds The wave of the trees Rosebuds and lilacs Baskets of cherries I don't need you in the way Of me making my day You knock on my door And I'll send you away I just want oh ohohoh Ohohoh oh UH oh To be a-lone uh oh oh Uhoh uhuh oh -one To be a-lone oh oh -one Ohoh oh uh uh -one To be a-lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-one Hu-man re-la-tion's A terrible thing Love and affection Will only bring pain I want a world where the quiet Lasts til the end I will be my very best friend Oh! I want the birds The wave of the trees R-r-r-rosebuds and lilacs Baskets of cherries I don't need you in the way Of me making my day You knock on my door And I'll send you away I just want oh ohohoh Ohohoh oh UH oh To be a-lone uh oh oh Uhoh uhuh oh -one To be a-lone oh oh -one Ohoh oh uh uh -one To be a-lo-o-o-one I just want to be A-lone. Alone. A-lo-o-o-one. To be a-lone. Alone! Alo-o-o-one. To be alone! Alone! Alo-o-o-one!!! To be a-lone. Alone. I just want to beee a-looooooooone.

Don't need no honeydews Or blackberry pie Cuz there ain't no treat That's as sweet as my guy Said he's a little bit of mangoes He's a little of lime And my blood sugar'll be runnin When he's comin' tonight Cuz he's a real sweet treat He's my baby (He's my little sweet treat) I'm his lady (He's a real sweet treat) I go crazy for my little sweet treat (HE'S JUST A LITTLE SWEET TREAT) And when he kiss me It's like peaches and cream And my heart starts racin Like the soda stream He's oh so tasty Like a turkish delight And when the lollipop comes out You know he's comin' tonight Cuz he's a real sweet treat He's my baby (He's my little sweet treat) I'm his lady (He's my little sweet treat) I go crazy for my little sweet treat (HE'S JUST A LITTLE SWEET TREAT) Went to the the doctor And the doctor said "Oh, all of that sugar's Gonna go to your head!" I don't know what to say or do Cuz I'm so addicted to a sweetie like you You're just my little sweet treat He's my baby (He's a little sweet treat) I'm his lady (He's a little sweet treat) I go crazy for my little sweet treat (HE'S JUST A LITTLE SWEET TREAT) Went to the the doctor And the doctor said "Oh, all of that sugar's Gonna go to your head!" I don't know what to say or do Cuz I'm so addicted to a sweetie like you You're just my little sweet treat You're my baby (You're a little sweet treat) I'm your lady (He's a little sweet treat) I go crazy for my little sweet treat (HE'S JUST A LITTLE SWEET TREAT) Yeah you're my baby You're a real sweet I'm your lady You're a real sweet treat I go crazy for my little sweet treat Yeah your my baby Just a little sweet treat (HE'S JUST A LITTLE SWEET TREEEEEAT)

Innocent 03:18
I'm innocent (doo wah doo wah do wahh) But I don't like it (doo wah doo wah do wahh) Lift my skirt up in the park And keep me out way after dark (doo wah doo wah do wahh) I'm innocent (doo wah doo wah do wahh) But that's bound to change now (doo wah doo wah do wahh) I been hangin' out with the wrong crowd And they been bringin' me down (doo wah doo wah do wahh) I tried for so long To stay along The straight and narrow path Well those good days are gone My rights have turned to wrongs Since I gone wild and mad Well I was innocent (doo wah doo wah do wahh) Until the devil got ahold of me (doo wah doo wah do wahh) Now I smoke, swear, and drink What would my mother think The boys are all over me And all the girls hate me No one can save me Since I gone B- B-A... D (bad bad) B-A-D (bad bad) B-A-D (bad bad) B-A-D (bad bad) B-A-D (bad bad) B-A-D (bad bad) B-A-D (bad bad) Since I gone B-A-D Bad

What I Lost 03:10
Rest your weary eyes We're so tired of crying Waiting for the turn of spring All the love that it would bring Let's give it a new day Another way to say it Is I'm so sorry how we've changed But we're just not quite the same I've tried to chalk it up a million ways But what more can I say? The clouds block out the sun The rain's been on forever The static on the radio Somehow seems to know Our current misery With fuzzy blipped out feelings We're lost in a sea of sound A signal can't be found How can I be the strongest I can be When I am down on my knees? I'll write it in a letter With no return to sender The last three words I'll write Before I give my goodbye It wasn't meant to hurt How did we get this far? We were just two fools in love Playing the fickle games of the heart But in the end someone is bound to lose And what I lost was you
