1.	How Can I Love You? 04:12	lyrics	buy track
How can I love you? V1 Oh listen honey, no I aint got cross to bear Oh listen honey, no I’m far too proud to beg You put me under, but I hear you talking loud Why does this thunder, follow every single cloud Don’t wanna waste the time, saying that you can’t hide love We can’t cross the line, coz baby when I give it up You won’t come my way Chorus How can I love you, with a shot gun to my heart? I can’t turn it out How can I love you,with a stop sign on your heart? I can’t work it out no V1 Oh listen baby, can’t you see my shadow’s long? I still say maybe, better off where I belong You aint no angel and I’m no puppet on a string So why this halo? Baby let my lovin’ in Don’t wanna waste the time, saying that you can’t hide love We can’t cross the line, coz baby when I give it up You won’t come my way Chorus How can I love you, with a shot gun to my heart? I can’t turn it out How can I love you,with a stop sign on your heart? I can’t work it out no Bridge What’s the use in pushing through? yeah What’s the point of loving you? yeah With my hands tied to your call With my back against the wall Baby, will you ever fall? Oh baby will you? Chorus How can I love you, with a shot gun to my heart? I can’t turn it out How can I love you,with a stop sign on your heart? I can’t work it out no
2.	Cruel 04:41	lyrics	buy track
Cruel V1 Sometimes I hold up, tell me just the blues Sometimes I play up, play up, out there on the cruise Sometimes I make love, oh yeah, and shoot before you’re done Sometimes I roll up, roll up, sometimes I hit and run Chorus But I aint never, never been so cruel And I aint never, never been so rude Oh baby had me in your hands, now I’ve fucked your wedding plans Aint enough to love the fool, why you want to be so cruel? V1 Sometimes I blow out, girl there’s no excuse I pull the freak out, when I’m under used Sometimes I’m hung up, my jealousy astray Sometimes I fuck up, in monumental ways Chorus But I aint never, never been so cruel And I aint never, never been so rude Oh baby had me in your hands, now I’ve fucked your wedding plans Aint enough to love the fool, why you want to be so cruel? Bridge Maybe I was wrong, to sing a simple song, maybe I’m unrefined Maybe I’m no saint, but bitch I showed constraint You over stepped the line Chorus But I aint never, never been so cruel And I aint never, never been so rude Oh no no never, never been so cruel Oh and never, never been so rude Oh baby had me in your hands, now I’ve fucked your wedding plans Aint enough to love the fool, why you want to be so cruel?

Ever Since V1 Wondering if your love’s gone, oh, it’s easier to blame Though we had it so strong, yeah, I pushed your love away And as you walk on by, gotta realise You can call my heart to love again Oh, we get lost sometimes, you know we get lost sometimes, oh yeah Chorus Ever since you’ve gone, I miss my kindred soul Gonna pull you back to me, like a river to the sea V1 We can sing a sad song, oh, forsake a love in need Though I know your pride’s still strong Oh come baby hear my plea And as I lay my hand, will you understand Had no love or lust for no one else Oh, we get lost sometimes, you know we get lost sometimes, oh yeah Chorus Ever since you’ve gone, I miss my kindred soul Gonna pull you back to me, like a river to the sea Bridge Time alone won’t change it, building bridges in the sand But if there’s a light in you which flickers on Gotta play the helping hand Oh and maybe you’ve got cause to see me crying Yeah but maybe we’ve got cause to keep on trying Chorus Ever since you’ve gone, I miss my kindred soul Gonna pull you back to me, like a river to the sea
4.	Bittersweetness 04:46	lyrics	buy track
Bittersweetness V1 Said I’d be your baby, hocus pocus maybe Said I could be your fantasy I give a little lovin’, only to discover I could lose my sanity Bridge And I know it’s not the kiss, or your sweet cherry lips That will get me in the end And I know it’s not the touch, but thank you very much It’s that bittersweetness Chorus Baby that’s my weakness, it’s my weakness, it’s my weakness V2 In my wisdom I tried, to release my male pride Coz I can’t be no shunted man But when you up the ante, it aint nothin’ fancy I lose with a winning hand Bridge And I’m sure it’s not your mind, or your peachy behind That will keep me on the run And I know it’s not you walk, or your sweet pillow talk It’s that bittersweetness Chorus Baby that’s my weakness, it’s my weakness, it’s my weakness Bridge I can’t fall in love, fall in love, I can’t fake no high connection I can’t give it up, give it up, she’s got my complete attention I got pulled way up, push way down, I can’t win and I can’t lose I can’t run, hide, baby come tell me what I’m supposed to do Chorus Baby that’s my weakness, it’s my weakness, it’s my weakness Sure gonna tell you my weakness
5.	Love In Vain 04:33	lyrics	buy track
Love in Vain V1 It’s always the same, your pleasure, my pain I wait for the ring of my telephone, for love I’m back of the line, admission declined I’m knocking but all I can see our clouds above Chorus But I’m trying to give a love in vain Yes I’m trying to give a love in vain Will it ever come my way? For love relies on two Oh yeah, just two V2 I’ve begged you too long, still I don’t belong My friends made the call but I left them all aside My darkness and light, two sweet roaming eyes Am I just a pawn in your little game, am I? Chorus And I’m trying to give a love in vain Yes I’m trying to giving a love in vain Will it ever come my way? For love relies on two Oh two Bridge Yeah babe we’re past the midnight hour And there aint not a single prayer If you can’t try to work it out My love’s gotta go somewhere Somewhere I won’t hide, from what’s left inside Someone head and heals Somewhere I won’t feel Chorus Like I’m trying to give a love in vain Yes I’m trying to giving a love in vain Will it ever come my way? For love relies on two Oh two (Repeat)
6.	Hustler 05:14	lyrics	buy track
Hustler V1 Starlight had passed with his foot on the gas, gotta make a call On his way to be there, for the company With Sonny beside just like Bonnie and Clyde once were raising hell Used to deal now he scores, for the company With big brother inside, oh daddy gone, mama’s on and she drank to survive Blood may be blood but he walked, left all behind In the deep of the night, oh a face to face with devil disguised Cold enough to make you blind Pre Chorus Now what is there to do? What is there to say? It’s either him or you, you got one good shot just to get away Chorus Now he’s a hustler yeah (feelin’ your money, shaking your honey) All the folks hear the sound, fame can be found in just a day Coz he’s a hustler yeah (if you try to wander, you’re six feet under) If you aint got the dough, you’ve sure made a foe, you’re out the game V2 When Sonny was gone, London lights looking on, he was standing tall Turn your back, you’ll be gone, from the company With every new stride, dealing fear, taking pride, when he comes to call Chance your arm if you dare, but you’ll be on your knees Pre Chorus Now what is there to do? What is there to say? It’s either him or you, you got one good shot just to get away Chorus Coz he’s a hustler yeah (feelin’ your money, shaking your honey) All the folks hear the sound, fame can be found in just a day Coz he’s a hustler yeah (if you try to wander, you’re six feet under) If you aint got the dough, you’ve sure made a foe, you’re out the game Bridge Aint no time for loving you, colder heart I never knew For his wish is your command, got a message for the man Aint no crime, aint no pay when you love someone Aint no love to be lost when you reach the sun Like a hawk in the sky you’ll be his by and by, man he’s always there, well, well, well, well. Chorus Coz he’s a hustler yeah (feelin’ your money, shaking your honey) All the folks hear the sound, fame can be found in just a day Coz he’s a hustler yeah (if you try to wander, you’re six feet under) If you aint got the dough, you’ve sure made a foe, you’re out the game (Repeat)

If It Ain't Called Love V1 Hey girl, you would give your heart just to see what’s real Hey boy, you could never part though you play the field Stare in the face of the summer, hide in the winter and spring If there are too many questions to cover, don’t suffer fools again Chorus Coz if it aint called love, call someone else If it aint called love, called someone else If it aint called love, called someone else Got to get together V2 Hey lady, hung up coz your man’s always out of town He maybe, dress you head to toe but you wear a frown Fearing a change would be fateful, to your material dream Ah but you only get what he paid for, no lover on the scene Chorus If it aint called love, call someone else If it aint called love, called someone else If it aint called love, called someone else Bridge Well we wanna roll together, keeping our faith, whatever Stand and abide, when everything has died With nothing left untried, so why you crying for? When you could have someone that you truly adore Chorus If it aint called love, call someone else If it aint called love, called someone else If it aint called love, called someone else Got to get together (Repeat)

Trying To Get Next To You V1 I was playing silly games I know it’s not the way To get my message through But what am I to do? I’m lost without a clue Chorus I’m just trying to get next to you I’m trying to get next to you Yeah I’m just trying to get next to you V2 When I see you I belong But all the words have gone They left me feeling blue And if you only knew The pain you put me through Chorus I’m just trying to get next to you I’m trying to get next to you Yeah I’m just trying to get next to you Bridge You wake me up, with a simple smile Then I am down for a little while Baby cant you hear me saying ‘yes I need you’ Darling can’t you see me crying ‘yes I want you’ Got me down and begging ‘let me love you’ Baby wont you stop to come around V3 I was playing silly games I know it’s not the way To get my message through But know that all I do Is for the love of you Chorus I’m just trying to get next to you I’m trying to get next to you Yeah I’m just trying to get next to you
9.	Fly On 04:26	lyrics	buy track
Fly On V1 So you wake up Thought it’d never end From a baby to girl so fast Young woman to a friend So your baby’s gone away Ah what you gonna do now Although you’re filled with worry and much pain You know she’ll make you proud Chorus Though you might be birds of a feather (she must fly on) Gotta lose your baby’s tether (she must fly on) She’ll be back when stormy weather (she must fly on) Fly away to something new V2 Yeah she longed to fly away The message makes you rue All the times you could’ve shared when she was around Now everything’s a new With a heavy heart employed You won’t let it show For your sorrow filled with happiness and joy Gotta let your baby go Chorus Though you might be birds of a feather (she must fly on) Gotta lose your baby’s tether (she must fly on) She’ll be back when stormy weather (she must fly on) Fly away to something new Bridge By the time it crossed your mind The nest you laid was bare Latent sands slip through your hands Like you were never there What if you had your time over again? Would you take it back or change a thing? Only tears will serve to realise Gotta let that baby, let that baby fly Chorus Though you might be birds of a feather (she must fly on) Gotta lose your baby’s tether (she must fly on) She’ll be back when stormy weather (she must fly on) Fly away to something new

Kathleen V1 Playing dolls with living lives Never seem to ask the question Tell myself it’s off a million times Then I see you floating down the street Got an air that knocks me off my feet Girl I know you’re back to leave me blind Pre Chorus Though I’m so happy that you’ve come But aint nothin’ but good fun Chorus I said, Kathleen, I won’t follow you like others do I said, Kathleen, you do me well, but I can tell We only belong to this night, so hold tight V2 Got a hold of my head it’s true But my heart can’t be owned by you Even if the wrong aint far from right Many days they have come and gone Still pride of place in my happy home Guess there aint no sense in questioning why Baby know why Pre Chorus Though I’m so happy that you’ve come But aint nothin’ but good fun Chorus I said, Kathleen, I won’t follow you like others do I said, Kathleen, you do me well, but I can tell We only belong to this night, so hold tight, baby, hold tight Bridge Some think that love is just a game But I don’t wanna play I need for love, to come open up your arms This thing we have just aint the same Though I won’t pull away You know I can’t follow, you know I can’t follow Chorus I said, Kathleen, I won’t follow you like others do I said, Kathleen, you do me well, but I can tell We only belong to this night, so hold tight, Kathleen Playing dolls with living lives, oh yeah

Nth Degree Verse 1 Never can ease the thought, Baby can’t walk the talk Better read what you taught Coz I can’t see to follow Isn’t it fair to say? I gave it all everyday I don’t wanna leave the stage But please me and I’ll swallow Pre chorus Oh tell me do you want me, tell me do you want me now? Yeah tell me do you want me, tell me do you want me now? Verse 2 Knowing my right from wrong Going from weak to strong Dragging my feet along I gave you want you wanted Keeper of every key Still you won’t set me free Sheriff I do decree Now the hunter is the hunted Pre chorus Oh tell me do you want me, tell me do you want me now? Yeah tell me do you want me, tell me do you want me now? Chorus Coz I’m lost in your smile, I played for a while Now I can’t see, I can’t breathe pushed to the nth degree Though I was hip to your gun, you shot my vibration To its knees, watch it bleed pushed to the nth degree Verse 3 Got me like a rollin’ stone, but I aint got a hat nor home You took everything I own Now I aint got shit to shovel Was glad to have a look inside, but this is where I close my eyes Take me to the other side, coz I aint got time for sorrow Pre chorus Oh tell me do you want me, tell me do you want me now? Yeah tell me do you want me, tell me do you want me now? Chorus I got lost in your smile, so I played for a while Now I can’t see, I can’t breathe pushed to the nth degree Though I was hip to your gun, you shot my vibration To its knees, watch it bleed pushed to the nth degree (repeat)
