LOVE OF A STRANGER
I don’t want no long term love
I don’t want your child
I just want a good time
I want to run wild
I don’t want no hearts and flowers
I don’t want no books
I just want a lover
I pick for his looks
I don’t want to meet your kin
I don’t need to rest
I just want to touch the skin
Of the very best
I don’t want no Sunday walks
I don’t want no tea
I just want a stranger
To come home with me
No one knows me where I go
I don’t feel no danger
I know what I want to feel
Feel the love of a stranger.
JACK’S BLUES
I don’t know why
I prowl the nights
Looking for fun
Getting into fights
I don’t know why
The dark side calls
But I’ll be there
When darkness falls
See me leaning
On shadowed walls
Watching the world
Seeing it all
Around midnight
That’s the time
I see my chance
To make him mine
I don’t know why
They always laugh
They follow me
On unknown paths
They always seek
Another thrill
I look for
Some time to kill
See me fitting
Through shadowed ways
Going back to
The bad old days
You won’t find me
But boys always will
When I’m looking
For time to kill.
IN MY DREAMS
I just want to stay inside my bed
Can’t get the sleep out of my head
Don’t want to think ‘bout what we said
Don’t wanna do no work instead
But in my dreams I fly away
And in my dreams just want to play
I just want to fly away
And to get away from here
I don’t want to go out ev’ry day
I just want to stay at home and play
I just want the world to go away
So I don’t need to think ‘bout what to say
But in my dreams I fly away
And in my dreams just want to play
I just want to fly away
And to get away from here
All you ever tell me are your lies
I can see the truth behind your eyes
You always tell me ‘bout how time flies
I’d just like to sneak out in disguise
But in my dreams I fly away
And in my dreams just want to play
I just want to fly away
And to get away from here.
DRIVING DOWN TO MEMPHIS
Driving down to Memphis
One hundred miles to go
Can’t wait till I get there
See that little girl I know
Got a present in the trunk
Got an aching in my heart
Cos that girl and me you see
We’ve been too long apart
And all the time I’m driving
I’m thinking of her face
I see her smile
I taste her lips
Takes me to another place
And now I’m getting closer
And the cars all start to slow
There’s a wreck on the freeway
And there’s no way I can go
And so I call my baby
On my cell phone then and there
But she don’t pick it up
I sure hope she aint gone far
And all the time I’m driving
I’m thinking of her face
I see her smile
I taste her lips
Takes me to another place
So I roll up to her place
‘Bout the middle of the night
And I let myself right in
But what I hear aint right
And I’m frozen to the spot
She’s in bed with some guy
And all I do is slip away
It’s so hard to feel love die
So hard not to cry
So hard not to cry.
MY FLAGS STILL FLYING
It’s a hard and bitter track
But I’m not turning back
All I know is in my heart
Guess I’ve had it rough
Guess that’s made me tough
Even now
In the vale of tears
But I’m not dead
And I’m not dyin’
Now its your turn for cryin’
Take a look my flag’s still flyin’
Guess you thought you have me beat
Thought I’d grovel at your feet
All I know is in my heart
Ah but you can’t see
You never got to me
Even now
When we’re apart
But I’m not dead
And I’m not dyin’
I’ve gotten over all your lyin’
Now its your turn for cryin’
Take a look
My flag’s still flyin.
ONLY LOVE
Only love will mend a broken heart
Only love will bring us together
Only love will help when we’re apart
Only love goes on forever
And for now my love we must part
And for now for us the broken heart
But the hard times will soon be over
My love. My love
And it gets stronger all the time
Whenever I can see you
Can’t believe that you are mine
Can’t believe I love you
Our loves will grow in our happy hearts
Our loves will grow when you’re with me
Our love feeds me when we’re apart
Your love shines when you see me
And from now our love will grow
And just you and I will know
That the good times are here forever
My love. My love.
TAKE OUR TIME
We walk down the road
Hand in hand in the sun
Got nowhere to go
Got nowhere to run
See no clouds in the sky
Aint got nothing to do
And time slips by
When I’m here with you
Take our time
Take it slow
‘Cos we got
Nowhere to go
Sun’s high in the sky
No clouds to be seen
The worlds drifting by
Life’s like a dream
Gettin better ev’ry day
Got a smile on my face
Got no worries today
I’m just lovin’ this place
Take our time
Take it slow
‘Cos we got
Nowhere to go
Blue skies are callin’
Won’t go back to the grey
Life here is so good
Why don’t we just stay
Come take my hand
Together today
In our perfect land
And here we can stay
Take our time
Take it slow
‘Cos we got
Nowhere to go
ONLY LOVE
Only love will mend a broken heart
Only love will bring us together
Only love will help when we’re apart
Only love goes on forever
And for now my love we must part
And for now for us the broken heart
But the hard times will soon be over
My love. My love
Our loves will grow in our happy hearts
Our loves will grow when you’re with me
Our love feeds me when we’re apart
Your loves shines when you see me
And from now our love will grow
And just you and I will know
That the good times are here forever
My love. My love.
KISSING THE PURPLE, KISSING THE PINK
Too many nights we argue
Too many nights we fight
But all our troubles fly away
When we turn out the light
Our friends can’t understand it
Our folks don’t wanna know
I only know that I love you
And I’ll never let you go
I only know I love you
I only know what I think
It all seems so far away
When you’re kissing the purple
And I’m kissing the pink
And when the night is over
And you lie here in my arms
We forget why we argue
In our ocean of real calm
I only know I love you
I only know what I think
It all seems so far away
When you’re kissing the purple
And I’m kissing the pink.
TAKE OUR TIME
We walk down the road
Hand in hand in the sun
Got nowhere to go
Got nowhere to run
See no clouds in the sky
Aint got nothing to do
And time slips by
When I’m here with you
