BY THE LIGHT OF DAY (Fay Adams)
By the
light of day
Every thing has changed
Things are much better than yesterday
Time has been lost to the pain
I want to change myself
Out from
the shadows
And into the light
I want to go for just one night
I want to fly above the pain
I can change my world
How it
feels is what it is, and how it was last night
How it seems the tables turn and everything is right …
By the
light of day
Nothing's the same
Love me tonight if you feel that why
Let's ride on the train (love train)
There is no truth
There is
only love
And love is all you need
You've heard it said, now it speak to me
We can make it our own
And we'll have everything. We'll have everything.
Has this whole world gone crazy (or is it just me?) (Fay Adams)
I wanna
know, has this whole world gone crazy
Or is it just me? Is it just me?
Is it your touch, makes me tremble all over
Or is it just you?
I only
want what I just can't have
And I want you, oh baby, to be with me
We only go through this life one time
And what if our love was meant to be?
So I
wanna know, has this whole world gone crazy
Or is it just me? Is it just me?
I'm not a
child and I've been around
And I know some of the hard times you’ve seen
But I've only one overwhelming desire
Makes me feel like I'm seventeen
So I
wanna know, has this whole world gone crazy
Or is it just me? Is it just me?
Is it your touch, makes me tremble all over
Or is it just you?
HUMAN CONDITION (Fay Adams)
Jealousy
rears its ugly head
I can see her hiding in my bed
Help me now, help me now, can't you see I'm in pain?
I want to hurt you now I want to make you feel the same.
Fantasy,
running hot and cold
Wondering how the story will unfold
Love me now, love me now, tell me how I'm the only one
Make me stay with you, make me, make me want to run
What's
that I see it's a letter?
What's that I hear it’s a busy signal?
What's that I read it’s a message bringin' me
Down, down, down, down, bringin' me down
Jealousy,
desire, rage we're told
Primeval forces futile to control
Turn me on turn me on make me feel like I'm
Burning up
I've got to see you, no I’ve got to, got to give you up
The human
condition is a
Contradiction
What's good for you is bad and what's bad for you is…
Mmmm, oh so good, oh, so good
I MUST BE CRAZY (Jeff Adams)
I must be
crazy for putting you out of my mind
I must be crazy
I'm walkin' 'round in misery
Since you left me here
Standing all alone, dear
With nobody for my own, dear
And I must be crazy
I must be
crazy for putting you out of my life
I must be crazy
I don’t know what got into me
When I told you
You couldn’t be around me anymore
I must be crazy
For putting you out of my mind
IT AIN’T THE MEAT (IT’S THE MOTION) (Lois Mann, Henry Glover)
It ain't
the meat it’s the motion
That makes your mama wanna rock
It ain't
the meat it’s the motion
It’s the movement that gives it the sock
I got a
boy so doggone thin, no meat, no bones, just all skin
One thing about him I can understand
He wraps all around me like a rubber band
It ain't
the meat it’s the motion
It’s the movement that gives it the sock
I got a
guy so big and fat
Some girls don’t like to see 'em like that
But I like to see 'em big and tall
The bigger they come the harder they fall
It ain't
the meat it’s the motion
It’s the movement that gives it the sock
I know a
boy, lives down the street
Not much to him but he’s mighty sweet
When he gets rockin' he don't wanna stop
Makes a woman wanna blow her top
It ain't
the meat it’s the motion
It’s the movement that gives it the sock
IT DON’T MEAN A THING (Fay Adams)
Well, you
thought if I caught you runnin' around
That I'd get mad and put you out
But honey, don't you know, I'm not sad to see you go
Oh no, oh no
Well, you
see I ain't got nothin' to lose
But the one who always gave me the blues
Honey, don't you see, you're what was ailing me.
And it
don't mean a thing if you walk right out the door
It don't mean a thing if you never come back no more
It don't mean a thing if you never come back no more
It don't mean a thing if you walk right out the door, out the door, out the
door, out the door
Well,
when you come home, you come home late
Leavin' me without a date, and when you’re out you never call,
But when you're gone, I have a ball!
Yeah,
your absence made my heart grow cold
So take your things and hit the road
If you think that that's not fair
Honey, I just don't care!
'Cause it
don't mean a thing if you walk right out the door
It don't mean a thing if you never come back no more
It don't mean a thing if you never come back no more
It don't mean a thing if you walk right out the door, out the door, out the
door, out the door
I don't
mind being on my own
I might like living on my own
One thing's for sure
That’s what I was waitin' for.
I’m not
said you're leavin' me
I’m kind of glad your leavin' me
You might think it's insane
But I’ll break out the champagne!
Break out the champagne!
KING BEE (Fay Adams)
Livin'
like he's got it all
High up, but he's headed for a fall
He's walkin' a tightrope
Livin' a lie
The man's got the power to make you high
But he'll cut you down when you’re feelin' tall
He's a
regular king bee
Take your honey then set you free
Baby don't you buzz around me no more
You say
you'll walk right out the door
I ask you, honey, what you lying for?
'Cause he's got the moves that make you sigh
Sting so sweet you forget to cry
And he'll leave you callin' out for more
'Cause
he's a regular king bee
Take your honey then set you free
Baby don't you buzz around me no more
LAND THAT TIME FORGOT (Jeff Adams)
It's a
rainy night, a lonely road and I walk along
Can't remember when I’ve ever felt so all alone
Time goes on without me and left you on my mind
Forever you will stay there
I thought forever you'd be mine
Well, I’m
headed for the northlands
Headed for the south
Take my blues with me
Gotta get this feeling out
Wish that you could be here to take away the pain
Take away my loneliness; take away the rain
And I
could love you like I never could before
And I could hold you close
Make you mine forever more
Well, the
dream goes on forever
I cannot let it die
I'll take all the memories and dreams that you'll be mine
Carry them so carefully right up to my grave
Lay them down so gently
And I
could love you like I never could before
And I could hold you close
Make you mine forever more
LONG TIME GONE (David Crosby)
It's been
a long time coming
It's gonna be a long time gone
And it appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Appears to be a long time
Yes, a long, long, long, long time before the dawn
Turn,
turn any corner
Hear, you must hear what the people say
You know there's something that's going on here
That surely, surely, surely won't stand the light of day
And it
appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn
Speak
out, you got to speak out against the madness
You got to speak your mind if you dare
But don't try to get yourself elected
If you do you had better cut your hair
It's been
a long time coming
It's gonna be a long time gone
But you know the darkest hour
Always, always just before the dawn
And it
appears to be a long
Appears to be a long
Appears to be a long time
Such a long, long, long, long time before the dawn
SATISFIED (Fay Adams)
I've got
lovin', it was the kind that was meant to last
I've got friends, baby, I’ve got no problems in my past
So tell me, I just wanna know now
When will I be satisfied?
I've got
money, though I don't have much to spare
I've got a real fine car to drive and I've got nice clothes to wear
So tell me, I just wanna know now
When will I be satisfied?
When I
see you, I see you walkin' along
And I want you, though I know this feeling's wrong
That's the reason I just can't get satisfied
Satisfied,
satisfied, when will I be satisfied?
Oh tell me, tell me baby, when will I be satisfied?
I just wanna know, I just wanna know,
When will I be satisfied?
I want
passion, I want the kind with all the thrills
I want kissin', I want a touch to give me chills
That's the reason I can't get satisfied.
Satisfied,
satisfied, when will I be satisfied?
Oh tell me, tell me baby, when will I be satisfied?
I just wanna know, I just wanna know,
When will I be satisfied?
Show me (Fay Adams)
If you
need my love, show me
If you want it, show me
You’ve got so much deep inside
Now just don’t hide, don’t hide it
When I
see you everyday
Give it up to me in every way
Lay it down, sugar, with all your might
Baby just don’t fight it, don’t fight it
Don’t
keep me in suspense
Don’t keep me hangin on
We all deserve some happiness
So come on, come on, come on
If you
wanna kiss me baby
I don’t mind
Touch me, show me a sign
Show me a sign, there’s no denyin’
I’ll make you feel fine, so fine
Show me,
Show, give it up, all your love
Let it out now, come on and show me, you gotta show me
Don’t
keep me in suspense
Don’t keep me hangin on
We all deserve some happiness
So come on, come on, come on
If you
wanna kiss me baby
I don’t mind
Touch me, show me a sign
Show me a sign, there’s no denyin’
I’ll make you feel fine, so fine
Show me,
Show, give it up, all your love
Let it out now, come on and show me, you gotta show me
I know you got some lovin’ deep down inside
Give up now, come on and show me, you gotta show me
I know you got some lovin’ deep down inside
Give up now, come on and show me, you gotta show me
SORRY (Fay Adams)
I’m
sorry, I should’ve known it all along
I guess it was a classic case
Everybody tried to tell me
People never learn from their mistakes
I knew
you were bad for me
But I was so tired of being good
Even you tried to tell me to stay away
Sometimes people don’t do what they should
I guess I
should get out
I guess I should go my own way
I guess I should throw out all the love we shared
I thought
it was my turn
I thought it was my turn to win
Oh but no one ever said love was fair
I wanted
you; I’m the one that asked for it
But then I got in too deep
No all that’s left is the flame in my heart
And some memories, all mine to keep
I guess I
should get out
I guess I should go my own way
I guess I should blow out this burning flame
And if I
still love him
It doesn’t matter any more
Cause love’s not worth this pain
I wanted
you, I guess you could say I asked for it
So I only have myself to blame
I’m sorry if I ever tried to change you
I’m sorry you don’t feel the same
I’m sorry you don’t feel the same
TILL THE WELL RUNS DRY (Wynona Carr)
You never
miss your water till the well runs dry
I never missed you baby till you said goodbye
Try me one more time
Baby, try me one more time
I can’t eat I can’t sleep
I’m just about to lose my mind
I took
your love for granted and I did you wrong
No I lost you baby you’ve been gone so long
Try me one more time
Baby, try me one more time
I’m alone, so alone
Just about to lose my mind
Till the
well runs dry
Till the well runs dry
You never miss your water
Till the well runs dry
uh oh, no water
Today I
saw you baby and you looked so fine
All I could say was you use to be mine
And I sigh, cry, just about to lose my mind
