PERFECTION
Hush little baby, gotta be strong
'Cause in this world we are born to fight
Be the best, prove them wrong
A winner's work is never done
Reach the top, number one
Perfection
Oh perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my protection
Perfection.... Oh..
I was taught to be tough
That the best that you can be ain't enough
Crack the whip, sacrifice
But I found out paradise had a price
I didn't know it then
But oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard at love
To make the love work out
You know this heart of mine
Has made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know what it takes
CHORUS
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Whoa... I've been driven by perfection
But nothin's perfect when love ain't right
Nothin's perfect when love ain't right
Gave it all
Played my part
I gave everything I had but my heart
Worked so hard
Made a name
But the loneliness inside stays the same
When love is here today
And then it's gone today
You got a list of lovers lookin' like a resume
You gotta take some time
To make it something real
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know how to feel
CHORUS
Oh perfection
You drive me crazy with perfection
I've worn my pride as my protection
I'm goin' crazy with perfection
I didn't know it then
But oh I know it now
You gotta work as hard at love
To make the love work out
You know this heart of mine
Has made some big mistakes
I guess that when it comes to love
I just don't know what it takes
All my life I've been driven by perfection
Pushed it to the limit every day and night
Whoa... I've been driven by perfection
But nothin's perfect when love ain't right
REPEAT TO FADE | SAVE UP ALL YOUR TEARS
I can't figure you out
But a heart must be the one thing you
were born without
I've been wasting my time
I don't know where I'll sleep tonight
You say that you can do without me
Go ahead now try and live without me
CHORUS
Baby save up all your tears
You might need them someday
When the tears start to fall
I won't wipe them away
When you cry in the night
For the love that you need
Baby save up your tears
'Cause you'll be crying over me
You got used to my touch
I got used to not, not feeling much
Winter set in your eyes
Time will melt your castle of ice
You think that you won't feel the pain now
But your eyes will be crying like the rain now
CHORUS
You'll be crying over me
You don't know it now, you don't know it now
You don't know it now, you don't know it now
You don't know it now
But some wounds get deeper with time
You don't feel it now
'Til the need burns, a knife turns
Your heart bleeds like mine
CHORUS
GYPSIES TRAMPS AND THIEVES
I was born in the wagon of a travelling show
My momma used to dance for the money they'd throw
Poppa would do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
CHORUS
Gypsies tramps and thieves
We'd hear it from the people of the town
They'd call us
Gypsies tramps and thieves
But every night all the men would come around
And lay their money down
Picked up a boy just south of Mobile
Gave him a ride filled him with a hot meal
I was sixteen he was twenty one
Rode with us to Memphis
And poppa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
CHORUS
Never had schooling but he taught me well
With his smooth southern style
Three months later I'm a gal in trouble
And I haven't seen him for a while
Uh huh I haven't seen him for a while uh huh
She was born in the wagon of a travelling show
Her momma had to dance for the money they'd throw
Grandpa'd do whatever he could
Preach a little gospel
Sell a couple bottles of doctor good
CHORUS REPEAT TO FADE |
THE SHOOP SHOOP SONG (It's In His Kiss)
Does he love me I wanna know
How can I tell if he loves me so
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no you'll be deceived
Is it in his eyes?
Oh no he'll make believe
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Or is it in his face?
Oh no it's just his charms
In his warm embrace?
Oh no that's just his arms
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Woah It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Woah hug him and squeeze him tight
Find out what you want to know
If it's love if it really is
It's there in his kiss
How 'bout the way he acts?
Oh no that's not the way
And you're not listnin' to all I said
If you wanna know if he loves you so
It's in his kiss
That's where it is
Woah It's in his kiss
That's where it is
REPEAT
Oh yeah it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh it's in his kis
That's where it is
Oh oh it's in his kiss
That's where it is
Oh ohh it's in his... kiss
That's where it is.... | WALKING IN MEMPHIS
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the delta blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
WC Handy won't you look down over me
Yeah I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a girl can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
Saw the ghost of Elvis on Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
And I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just huddled round his tomb
There's a pretty little thing waiting for the King
Down in the jungle room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
CHORUS
Walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel
They got catfish on the table
They got gospel in the air
Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But boy you got a prayer in Memphis
Now Gabriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see him
And asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
He said tell me are you a Christian child
And I said man I am tonight
CHORUS x 2
Put on my blue suede shoes |
I GOT YOU BABE
They say we're young and we don't know
We won't find out until we grow
Well I don't know if all that's true
'Cause you got me and baby I got you... babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
They say our love won't pay the rent
Before it's earned our money's all been spent
I guess that's so we don't have a pot
But at least I'm sure of all the things we got... babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
I got flowers in the spring
I got you to wear my ring
And when I'm sad you're a clown
And if I get scared you're always around
So let them say your hair's too long
Cause I don't care with you I can't do wrong
Then put your little hand in mine
There aint no hill or mountain we can't climb... babe
I got you babe, I got you babe
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won't let go
I got you to love me so
I got you babe
REPEAT TO FADE | ONE BY ONE
When you pray with every breath
You know that is free as the love you have
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
There's no peace, you close your eyes
I'm all out of truth, I'm outta alibis
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
CHORUS
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Seek the sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
He gives a new kinda meaning to what I am
I know that I could never love any other man
One of these days you'll understand
Understand
And his face his heaven sent
He makes me believe there must be something else
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
I can feel the need in you
There isn't a thing, I want you do
Where does it end
It's too much for me to take
CHORUS x 2
We're gonna love one another 'til morning comes
Sweet salvation for what we've done
Give up resisting one by one
One by one
We're gonna love one another
TO FADE:
We're gonna love one another
Give up resisting one by one
One by one |
