Roses in Blue
03:50

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.

Sweet Treat
02:06

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

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
