I MUST HAVE YOU
Is this an instance of listenin’ to the wrong part of me Am I losin’ my cool in the quickest sand beneath It makes no sense to waste my breath On melodies that tell him this But I, I must have you The strong caffeine The long bad dreams Are not the reason I can’t sleep I stay awake ‘Cause of the ache The lives 3000 miles away It makes no sense to waste my breath On melodies that tell him this But I, I must have you Midnight for me his clock says five He’s fast asleep slow on my mind I cross the street it’s cold outside Relieved at least it’s wintertime Where he is too Oh, no coat will do For warmth, I must have you It’s foolish to do this a cruel trick To play on your own pride But there’s no stoppin’ till I’ve got him On my hands if just one night It makes no sense to waste my breath On melodies that tell him this But I, I must have you I had embarked a blues bound train But my one-track heart refused to break Monsieur conductor s’il vous plais Northeast go please full speed ahead To his sweet room Oh no bed but yours will do For lust, I must have you I know it don’t make any sense To waste what little breath is left From what you took when you first left Come take the rest Ohh I forgot- for *Gra I must have you
* Gra=love in Irish
OOH LA LA
I met you in London At the start of one long hot summer Had no hunch of what was comin’ When you sat down And as you start to talkin I’m sippin on my gin and tonic Tryin’ to listen But just thinkin’ Thinkin’ just one thought It was ooh la ooh la baby Ooh la ooh la baby Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh La Ooh La La And then the night progressed Gettin’ close but oh still no kiss Though you made me laugh so it Kept me distracted But then I felt your hand Lightly brush up against my skin And darlin’ all of a sudden Just one thought in my head It was ooh la ooh la baby Ooh la ooh la baby Ooh ooh ooh oooh Ooh la ooh la London bridged that atlantic gap And then now look where we are at Big Ben he must be running fast He says a year has passed And im still singing ooh la ooh ‘At Last my love has come along’ Then we went our separate ways Knew right away on that runway wait This plane was not the only thing Takin off that day Cause then that night in bed Couldn’t seem to keep quiet and Knew it was not quite jetlag Keepin' me awake It was you la ooh la baby You la ooh la baby Ooh ooh ooh ooh Ooh la ooh la la
SOMETHING SWEET
I know I know I know I know we're far apart And so and so and so can't give you the love that you want So here is a song if you find yourself alone Wishing I was by your side Here's something sweet to think of late tonight Remem, remember when Surrounded by strangers and friends And then and then and there we made our way up the stairs I called out your name told you not to stop just yet and you followed directions just right Here's something sweet to think of late tonight Or what about the time you got so sick and tired of me always gettin' my way gettin' my way gettin' my way put my palms up on the wall handin' you all the control and nothing could get in your way or how about that once hadn't seen you in a couple months silence came over us when you saw something was up looked you straight in the eye put my bubble gum aside and then I made up for lost time something sweet to think when you're in the mood for me something sweet to think of late tonight Just something sweet to think of late tonight.
DON’T GO
I’m your bird I’m your girl But I can’t fly across the world And when you stepped on the plane. Were you remembering What I had said Don’t Go Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go home No please Don’t Go But you Did Right now I lie in my in my bed The same one that you slept in yes In yesterday And listened to the plea I made Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go home No please Don’t Go But you Did And now I just can’t fuckin’ sleep Cause I smell you in my sheets And it’s more bitter than it’s sweet now Cause these goodbyes are all I have And I am running out of stamps I am running out of stamps now And this happens every time We pretend there’s no end No end in sight Until the night Until the night I beg and cry Don’t Go Don’t go Don’t go Don’t go home No no Don’t Go But you you’re not mine No please don’t go But you will

YOU’RE ALWAYS THERE
i slept in his bed last night he’s funny he’s sweet and treats me just right and as i lay awake in his care tears hit the pillow cause you’re still there Friday night with some friends Pouring red wine and having a laugh Until your name got tossed in the air And fell in my glass Cause you’re always there I sing your songs now and then Playin’ along like they’re not relevant Oh though I try Just in the lie, alone Sends my blues running back home on these hands and knees again lookin’ for keys lost under the bed and when instead found your letters there I left without locking Cause you’re everywhere Why bother looking When you’re always there

GYPSY BOY
You were my gyspy boy a midnight owl a wondering soul my wild flower so i forgave you for everything you couldn’t say but your silence broke the limb that i was on i hit the floor that’s when i saw you’re no gypsy boy you’re a runaway i took it as bravery but you just had no shame thought you were complicated you were just playin’ games but i believe in the team that we had made but then you’d be gone when time was critical i called it rebellion but it was pure criminal cause you’re no gypsy boy you’re a runaway your cowboy routine don’t do nothing for me so take your fake horses and go cause I’m not the kind of girl that you thought i was not gonna stick around tryin’ to fix you up i’ve had enough causes lost for today maybe i knew but my mistake was thinkin’ you’d be worth the chase cause you’re no gypsy boy i’m sorry to say you’re no james dean boy you’re a run away run away

TONIGHT I FOUND THE BLUES
I’d been looking Looking so long For something I couldn’t Put my finger on It’d been broken And locked behind bars So I felt the moment Breath swept Through my heart Finally sweet release That covers you like a summer moon and it feels so right tonight oh sweet night i found the blues he wasn’t seein how cruel it is to always be pleadin’ pleadin’ the fifth so i got no answers lord i got no rest and i got so tired of taken a guess finally sweet release that covers you like a summer moon and it feels so right tonight oh sweet night i found the blues and i was working over time pretending everything was fine but weakness aint my stronger suit but august air it fills my lungs with warmth they need to breathe him out and that’s just what they’ll do finally sweet release that covers you like a summer moon now I realize that all his midnights will forever pass through 5 hours too soon so now it feels right tonight oh sweet night I found the blues.
