Track Lyrics
I Thank You Lyrics
[Chorus]
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to love me like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
[Verse 1]
Then you took your love to someone else
I wouldn't know what it meant
To be loved to death
You made me feel like I've never felt
Kisses so good I had to holler for help
[Chorus]
You didn't have to squeeze but you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to hold it but you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
[Verse 2]
Every day was something new
You put on your bag and you're fine to-do
You got me trying new things too
Just so I can keep up with you
[Chorus]
You didn't have to shake it but you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
You didn't have to make it like you did
But you did, but you did and I thank you
[Verse 3]
All my life I've been shortchanged
Without your love baby, it's a crying shame
And now I know
What the fellas talkin’ about
When they say that they been turned out
[Bridge]
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
I want to thank you
Yes, I want to thank you
[Instrumental Outro 2:34-3:25]
She Loves My Automobile Lyrics
[Verse 1]
She don't love me
She loves my automobile
She don't love me
She loves my automobile
But she would do anything
Just to slide behind the wheel
[Verse 2]
She said, "What's it going to take
For you to lay your top on down?"
She said, "What's it going to take
For you to lay your top on down?"
I said, "Honey, why don't you ask me
When we get to the outskirts of town?"
[Instrumental Break 0:48-1:26]
[Outro]
Well, now she don't care
If I'm stoned or sloppy drunk
Well she don't care
If I'm stoned or sloppy drunk
Long as she got the keys
And there's a spare wheel in her trunk
I’m Bad, I’m Nationwide Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I was rolling down the road in some cold blue steel
I had a blues man on the back and a beautician at the wheel
We going downtown in the middle of the night
We laughing and I'm joking and we feeling alright
[Chorus]
Oh, I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Yes I'm bad, I'm nationwide
[Verse 2]
Easing down the highway in a new Cadillac
I had a fine fox in front, I had three more in the back
They sporting short dresses, wearing spike-heel shoes
They smoking Lucky Strikes and wearing nylons too
[Chorus]
'Cause we bad, we're nationwide
Yeah, we bad, we're nationwide
[Instrumental Break 1:32-2:43]
[Verse 3]
Well, I was moving down the road in my V-8 Ford
I had a shine on my boots, I had my sideburns lowered
With my New York brim and my gold tooth displayed
Nobody give me trouble 'cause they know I got it made
[Chorus]
I'm bad, I'm nationwide
Well, I'm bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, I'm nationwide, yeah, yeah
[Instrumental Outro 3:20-4:52]
A Fool for Your Stockings Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is it you again outside
Just banging on the front door?
You say you had enough
Now you're coming back for more
[Chorus]
But that's alright
I said that, "That's alright"
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings, I believe
[Verse 2]
Now, I don't mind when you send money
And bring your girlfriends with you
But how could one be so thoughtless to try
And handle less than two?
[Chorus]
But that's alright
I said that, "That's alright baby"
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings
I believe, yeah
[Instrumental Break 1:39-2:59]
[Verse 3]
Now, I'm telling everybody
It seems too good to be true
Sweet things can always get sweeter
I know mine did, how about you?
[Chorus]
Yes, it's alright
I said yes it, yes it is, "That's alright"
I may not want to admit it
I'm just a fool for your stockings, I believe
[Instrumental Outro 3:32-4:16]
Manic Mechanic Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You want to race, if you insist
At that price I can't resist
That's right, that's right
That's right
[Verse 2]
Tonight it ain't right
I got to have me a week
But I'll be back for you, Jack
And I'll let the machine speak
That's right, that's right
That's right
[Instrumental Break 1:09-1:53]
[Outro]
Showdown, you bet
And I haven't even saddled my pony yet
Have mercy, Miss Percy
I done put the coon tune on this vette
That's right, that's right
That's right
Dust My Broom Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
I'm gonna get up in the morning
I believe I'll dust my broom
Well the best girl, I'll be loving
So my friend, get out my room
[Verse 2]
I'm gonna write a letter to China
See if my baby's over there
Yes, I'm gonna write a letter to China
See if my baby's over there
If she ain't up in them Hawaiian islands
Must be in Ethiopia somewhere
[Instrumental Break 1:27-2:30]
[Outro]
I believe, believe my time ain’t long
Yes, I believe, believe my time ain’t long
I've had to quit my baby
And give up my happy home, hey, hey
Lowdown in the Street Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well there comes Lola, out of control
She just loves those rhythm and blues
And Miss Ivy will be arriving
In leopard skin tights she's willing to cruise
[Chorus]
It's a fiend scene and it
Happens 'bout once a week
So fork over some bread, it'll do your head
To get lowdown in the street
[Verse 2]
There's Jimmy and Jojo, there's Kim and Keith
Way outside the eyes of cool
And sweet M.B. and there's little G.B
Everybody wants to be their fool
[Chorus]
It's a fiend scene and it
Happens here every week
Fork over some bread, it'll do your head
To get lowdown in the street
[Instrumental Break 1:29-2:10]
[Verse 3]
Some nights are long, some nights are lazy
But ain't nobody try and slip away
They'll make you loose, they'll make you crazy
You know what I mean
Whatcha say, whatcha say
[Outro]
It's a fiend scene and it
Happen 'bout once a week
So roam on in, it ain't no sin
To get lowdown in the street
Hi Fi Mama Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I want your hi fi mama
Won't you let me play it tonight?
I want your hi fi mama
Won't you let me play it tonight?
I put the needle in the groove
Baby, while you douse the lights
[Verse 2]
I play it on your dresser
Play it upside your wall
I play it in your kitchen
Even play it in your hall
I play it anywhere you want it
Any old time at all, ah
[Instrumental Break 0:40-1:31]
[Verse 3]
Hi fi, lo fi, no fi's just fine with me
Hi fi, lo fi, no fi's just fine with me
And if you want to give me stereo
First give me vitamin E
I got your name and your numbers
[Outro]
Good night, darling, where ever you are
Cheap Sunglasses Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you wake up in the morning
And the light is hurt your head
The first thing you do
When you get up out of bed
Is hit that streets a-runnin'
And try to beat the masses
And go get yourself some cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Verse 2]
Spied a little thing and
I followed her all night
In a funky fine Levi's and her
Sweater's kind of tight
She had a west coast strut
That was sweet as molasses
But what really knocked
Me out was her cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Instrumental Break 1:04-2:54]
[Verse 3]
Now go out and get yourself
Some thick black frames
With the glass so dark
They won't even know your name
And the choice is up to you
Cause they come in two classes
Rhinestone shades
And cheap sunglasses
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
[Instrumental Break 3:21-4:48]
Esther Be the One Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Esther be the one that shoots a machine gun
Whether you like it or not
Midnight or daylight, stay out of her sight
Cause I heard she's one heck of a shot
[Chorus]
Esther be the one, she's the only one
She'll get you with her gun
When the wolf starts howling at the moon
[Verse 2]
And you will feel her love bullets
When you look her in the eyes
There ain't no way to escape
And that's when her fever will materialize
But it ain't no unfortunate fate
[Chorus]
Esther be the one, she's the only one
She'll get you with her gun
When the wolf starts howling at the moon
[Instrumental Break 1:14-1:49]
[Bridge]
It ain't nothing but it's something, so deal
Don't get branded
Cause there are no in reel
[Verse 3]
If she gets you in a corner
Don't let her mess you around
And don't let her blow you away
If you can't dig on Esther
You turn and leave town
Cause if you think she's bad
You ought to see her sister
[Chorus]
Esther's only one, but she's not the only one
She'll get you with her gun
When the wolf starts howling at the moon
[Instrumental Outro 2:34-3:30]
