Heart’s Done Time Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I met a woman, she had a man
I couldn't help it, I had a plan
Right around midnight, he was gone
Saw her red light, she left it on
[Chorus]
And oh-oh, my heart's done time
And oh-oh, now she's mine
Now she's mine
Yeah
[Verse 2]
If there's a reason for these chains
It's like we suffer to ease the pain
Now I got this feeling inside of me
My heart's in jail and I can't, can't, can't, can't get free
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, my heart's done time
And oh-oh, now she's mine
Now she's mine, yeah
Now she's mine
Now she's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
Now she's mine
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
Oh-oh, my heart's done time
And oh-oh, now she's mine, yeah
Now she's mine, yeah
Now she's mine, mine, mine, mine, mine, mine
[Outro]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...
Magic Touch Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Somebody better call a doctor, doctor
Or wake me up with a shove
I'm gonna knock you off you're rocker, rocker
Because I think I'm in love
I tried to get a message to you
But you walked the other way
[Chorus 1]
I need your magic touch, don't you know
I got a habit and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow
You better get it while it's hot now, babe
'Cause I can't let go, yeah
[Verse 2]
Don't need no wedding with a shotgun, shotgun
So don't you push me too far
Don't try to take me for a fool, child
Who, child, do you think that you are?
You really got it coming to you
It's gonna come as no surprise
[Chorus 2]
I need your magic touch, don't you know
I got a habit and I can't let go
Take me easy, take me slow
You better get it while it's hot now, babe
'Cause I can't let go
[Post-Chorus]
Woah, oh, oh, oh, oh
Ooh, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't let it go
[Bridge]
You never know what you got
'Til they take it away
I'm coming ready or not
Gonna get you someday
[Chorus 3]
I need your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow
I got a habit and I'm back for more
Your magic touch, don't you know
I'm after you and I can't let go
Feel the fire burning slow
You better get it while it's hot now, babe
'Cause I can't, can't, can't let you go
[Outro]
Go, go, go, go, go...
Rag Doll Lyrics
[Chorus]
Rag doll, living in a movie
Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie
You're so fine, they'll never see you
Leaving by the back door, man
Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby, won't you do me
Like you done before?
[Verse 1]
I'm feeling like a bad boy
Mmm, just a like a bad boy
I'm ripping up a rag doll
Like throwing away an old toy
Some babe's talking real loud
Talking all about the new crowd
Try and sell me on an old dream
A new version of the old scene
Speakeasy on the grapevine
Keep shuffling in a shoe shine
Old Tin Lizzy, do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery
[Chorus]
Rag doll, living in a movie
Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie
You're so fine, they'll never see you
Leaving by the back door, man
Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby, won't you do me
Like you done before?
[Verse 2]
Yes, I'm moving
Yes, I'm moving
Get ready for the big time
Tap dancing on a land mine
Yes, I'm moving
Yes, I'm moving
Old tin Lizzy, do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery
[Chorus]
Rag doll, living in a movie
Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie
You're so fine, they'll never see you
Leaving by the back door, man
Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby, won't you do me
Baby won’t you do me
Baby, won’t you do me like you done before?
Hoo, hoo!
[Verse 3]
Yes, I'm moving
Yes, I'm moving
Get ready for the big time
Get crazy on the moonshine
Yes, I'm moving
I'm really moving
Sloe gin fizzy, do it 'til you're dizzy
Give it all you got until you're put out of your misery
[Chorus]
Rag doll, living in a movie
Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie
You're so fine, they'll never see you
Leaving by the back door, man
Hot time, get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby, won't you do me
Like you done before?
[Outro]
Rag doll, living in a movie
Hot tramp, daddy's little cutie
You're so fine, they'll never see you
Leaving by the back door, man
Hot time get it while it's easy
Don't mind, come on up and see me
Rag doll, baby, won't you do me
Like you done before?

Simoriah Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Walking the line of a razor's edge
Take it as far as she goes
Slice of the sky on a silver wedge
Higher and higher we go
Let's go
[Verse 2]
Ladies in black put a spell on me
Feels like my head is going round and round
Round and upside down
Ladies in white ain't my cup of tea
So be it, I need it, long legs, big eyes
She drives me crazy
[Chorus]
Oh Simoriah
Oh Simoriah
[Verse 3]
Counting the eyes of the dragonfly
Callin' on dreams from within
She knows the way and she makes me high
So be it, I need it, long hair, blue eyes
She drives me crazy
[Chorus]
Oh Simoriah
Oh Simoriah, yeah
Dude (Looks Like a Lady) Lyrics
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Verse 1]
Cruise into a bar on the shore
Her picture graced the grime on the door
She's a long lost love at first bite
Baby, maybe you're wrong, but you know it's all right
That's right
[Interlude]
That, that
That, that
[Verse 2]
Backstage, we're having the time
Of our lives until somebody said
"Forgive me if I seem out of line"
And she whipped out a gun and tried to blow me away
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Verse 3]
Never judge a book by its cover
Or who you gonna love by your lover
Sayin' love put me wise to her love in disguise
She had the body of a Venus, Lord, imagine my surprise
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Bridge]
So baby, let me follow you down (Let me take a peek, dear)
Baby, let me follow you down (Do me, do me, do me all night)
Baby, let me follow you down (Turn the other cheek, dear)
Baby, let me follow you down (Do me, do me, do me, do me)
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
Ooh, what a funky lady
Ooh, she like it, like it, like it, like that
Ooh, he was a lady, yeah
[Chorus]
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
That, that dude looks like a lady
[Outro]
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady
Dude, dude, dude, dude looks like a lady

St. John Lyrics
[Intro]
C'mon boy, the tape be rolling
1... 2...
1, 2, 2, 2, 2
[Verse 1]
John was bad
He gave it everything he had
John he prayed
For all the people ever made
John was cool
He never did no after school
[Chorus]
Late at night when he praised the Lord
He laid his hands down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down upon the sword
Lay down your bloody sword
[Verse 2]
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
[Chorus]
Late at night when he praised the Lord
He lay his hands down, down upon the bloody sword
Laid down upon the sword, down, down, down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword, getting down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword, laid down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword, late night TV roared
[Verse 2]
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
[Chorus]
Late at night when he praised the Lord
He lay his hands down, down upon the bloody sword
Laid down upon the sword, down, down, down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword, getting down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword, laid down upon the sword
Laid down upon the sword, late night TV roared
[Outro]
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
John, St. John, be cool
Tell the people they'll follow you
Follow you...
Hangman Jury Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Me and my old lady sittin' in the shade
Talking about the money that I ain't made
Singing o boy don't you line the
Track a lack a
[Chorus 1]
O boy don't you line the track
O boy don't you line the track a lack a
O boy don't you line the track
[Chorus 2]
If I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses stood
Singing o boy don't you line the track a lack a
[Chorus 1]
O boy don't you line the track
O boy don't you line the track a lack a
O boy don't you line the track
[Verse 2]
Drank so much hooch
It made my eyes be getting blurry
They say I nailed her to the wall
A stitch in time don't mean a thing
No hangman jury could make me crawl
Cause I'm a poor boy
[Chorus 1]
Dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy don't you line the track
O boy don't you line the track a lack a
OOO
[Verse 3]
What you do with the gun that's loaded
Shot her dead and her heart exploded
Tell me baby now d-dontcha worry
Like lyin' to the hangman jury
I swear I didn't know that .45 was loaded
In fact my memory ain't too clear
That's not to say she didn't get what she deserved
Least that's the way it look from here
Boy when you line the track a lack a
Hey boy don't you line the track a lack a
Hey boy don't you line the track
[Chorus 3]
Oh my love came tumblin' down
Oh love come tumblin' down
Oh (Let's get outta here)
When a love come tumblin'
[Verse 4]
And every night she take her thing
Into the city and in the mornin' make me beg
Cause If I'd taken all her real titty gritty
I'd smack her right upside the head boy
[Chorus 1]
Dontcha line the track a lack a
O boy don't you line the track
O boy don't you line the track
[Chorus 3]
Oh my love come tumblin' down
Oh when love come tumblin' down
Oh when love come tumblin'
[Verse 5]
Poor boy sweatin' in the hot summer night
Hangman waitin' for the early morning light
Singing hey boy don't you line the track a lack a
[Chorus 1]
O boy don't you line the track
O boy don't you line the track a lack a
O boy don't you line the track
[Chorus 2]
If I could, I surely would
Stand on the rock that Moses done stood
Singing o boy don't you line the track a lack a
O boy don't you line the track
Girl Keeps Coming Apart Lyrics
[Verse]
She was a 42nd street walker
Hangin' out down by the cheap hotel
See an old floosey flopping in the wind
Titties and all
That's right
[Chorus 1]
She right peculiar
She try and fool you
But the girl, she's coming apart
She's so appealing
Right off the ceiling
Yeah, the girl, she's coming apart
What did I tell you
She buy and sell you
Because the girl, she's coming apart
She's so affected
I'm so rejected
And the girl, she's coming apart
[Post-Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't let it get me down
Don't let it get my down
Down, down, down, down, down
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus 2]
She's just a screamer
A nightmare dreamer
Yeah, the girl, she's coming apart
She's like a call girl
Loose ends and all girl
But the girl, she's coming apart
White lace and leather
She's so together
But the girl keeps coming apart
I feel sedated
Boxed up and crated
Because the girl, she's coming apart
[Post-Chorus]
Don't, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't
Let it get me down
Don't let it get my down
[Outro]
So there she was
Buns up and kneelin'
I was a wheelin and a dealin'
My ace in the hole so to speak
Angel Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm alone
Yeah, I don't know if I can face the night
I'm in tears
And the cryin' that I do is for you
[Pre-Chorus]
I want your love, let's break the walls between us
Don't make it tough, I'll put away my pride
Enough's enough, I've suffered and I've seen the light
[Chorus]
Baby, you're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
[Verse 2]
Don't know what I'm gonna do
About this feeling inside
Yes it's true
Loneliness took me for a ride, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
Without your love I'm nothing but a beggar
Without your love, a dog without a bone
What can I do? I'm sleeping in this bed alone
[Chorus]
Baby, you're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
Come and save me tonight
[Bridge]
You're the reason I live
You're the reason I die
You're the reason I give
When I break down and cry
Don't need no reason why
Baby, baby
[Chorus]
Baby, you're my angel
Come and save me tonight
You're my angel
Come and make it all right
You're my angel
Come and save me tonight (Angel)
You're my angel
Come and take me, alright
[Outro]
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Come and save me tonight
Permanent Vacation Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a letter from a friend the other morning
He say it's hot down in Montego Bay
I got the point and now I think it's finally dawning
Yeah, yeah, I got to get away
I got to take myself a permanent vacation
The sky's the limit but my plane won't fly
My nose is clean and lordie don't need no sedation
Yeah, yeah, and that's the reason why
[Chorus]
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I go to get away
[Verse 2]
I got a sister man she really got a pinhead
She think she kinky but she can't get straight
She say she livin' but I kinda think she's brain dead
Just excess baggage on a late night freight
[Chorus]
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
You best believe it that I go to get away
[Verse 3]
I got to take me on a permanent vacation
The girl's be cumming down in Cayman Brack
I got to hand it to a firm situation
Yeah, yeah, I got to cut me some slack
[Chorus]
I really need it, really, really need St. Tropez
I want a tan where the sun, it never shines
I really need it, really, really need it, really need it
You best believe it that I go to get away
I’m Down Lyrics
[Chorus]
You telling lies thinking I can't see
You don't cry because you're laughing at me
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down
[Chorus]
Man buys ring woman throws it away
Same damn thing happens every day
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down
[Chorus]
We all alone and there's nobody else
You still moan: "Keep your hands to yourself"
I'm down (I'm really down)
I'm down (down on the ground)
I'm down (I'm really down)
How can you laugh when you know I'm down
(How can you laugh) when you know I'm down
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down on the ground (I'm really down)
Don't you know that I'm down (I'm really down)
Down, down, down
