No Moon At All
03:00

No moon at all, what a night
Even lightnin' bugs have dimmed their lights
Stars have disappeared from sight
And there's no moon at all
Don't make a sound, it's so dark
Even Fido is afraid to bark
Such a perfect chance to park
There's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
Should we want atmosphere for inspiration, dear
One kiss will make it clear
That tonight is right and bright moonlight might interfere
No moon at all up above
This is nothin' like they told us of
Just to think we fell in love
And there's no moon at all
No moon at all
No moon at all
No moon at all

Baby, we got to have a little talk
I ought to pack up my things and walk
I know a dollar goes from hand to hand
But before I let you go from man to man
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log
I work for you like a Georgia mule
My friends all laughed, called me a fool
Your kisses are as sweet as can be
But before I let you make a fool out of me
I'd rather drink muddy water
Lay down and sleep in a hollow log
I love you baby, but you won't be fair
You don't know how to be on the square
Have your fun baby, if you must
But before I'll have a woman that I cannot trust
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log
Muddy water
Yes, Baby, we got to have a little talk
Said I ought to pack up my things and walk
I know a dollar goes from hand to hand
But before I let you go from man to man
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log
I work for you like a Georgia mule
My friends all laughed and they called me a fool
Your kisses are as sweet as can be
But before I let you make a fool out of me
I'd rather drink muddy water
Sleep in a hollow log
Because I love you baby, but you won't be fair
You don't know how to be on the square
Have your fun baby, if you must
But before I'll have a woman that I can't trust
I'd rather drink muddy water
Drink muddy water
Drink muddy water
Sleep out in a hollow log
Muddy water

I've got the blues, I feel so lonely
I'll give the world if I could only
Make you understand
It surely would be grand
I'm gonna telephone my baby
Ask him won't you please come home
'Cause when you're gone
I'm worried all day long
Baby won't you please come home
Baby won't you please come home
I have tried in vain
Evermore to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
That will never make us part
Every hour in the day
You will hear me say
Baby won't you please come home, I mean
Baby won't you please come home
Baby won't you please come home
'Cause your mama's all alone
I have tried in vain
Nevermore to call your name
When you left you broke my heart
That will never make us part
Landlord gettin' worse
I've got to move May the first
Baby won't you please come home, I need money
Baby won't you please come home

If I Were a Bell
02:40
|

Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're cozy and clinging
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bell I'd be ringing
From the moment we kissed tonight
That's the way I just got to behave
Boy, if I were a lamp I'd light
Or if I were a banner I'd wave
Ask me how do I feel
Little me with my quiet upbringing
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a gate I'd be swinging
And if I were a watch I'd start
Popping my spring
Or if I were a bell
I'd go ding dong ding dong ding
Ask me how do I feel
From this chemistry lesson I'm learning
Well, sir, all I can say
Is if I were a bridge I'd be burning
Yes, I knew my moral would crack
From the wonderful way that you looked
Boy, if I were a duck I'd quack
Or if I were a goose I'd be cooked
Ask me how do I feel
Ask me now that we're fondly caressing
Pal, if I were a salad
I know I'd be splashing my dressing
Or if I were a season, I'd surely be spring
Or if I were a bell
Yes, if I were a bell, if I were a bell
I'd go ding dong ding dong ding

You Say You Care
02:49
|

You seem so calm
But inside you bleed
Game's changing once again
You holdin' back
You don't proceed
Your heart will not admit
But your eyes can not pretend
You're fallin' for it
Oh, I was captured right away
I was scared
That you would lie to me and say
Oh, I was humbled by your grace
I was scared
That you would lie to me and say
Say you care
Oh say you care
You searching for
Something real
But you're lying to yourself
You came so close
The perfect feel
Now you blame yourself
For being so weak
But your eyes can not pretend
Well, your fighting for her
Oh, I was captured right away
I was scared
That you would lie to me and say
Oh, I was humbled by your grace
I was scared
That you would lie to me and say
Say you care
Oh say you care
Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
Oh, I was captured right away
I was scared
That you would lie to me and say
Oh, I was humbled by your grace
I was scared
Oh, that you would lie to me and say to me
Say you care
Oh say you care

Nature Boy
04:18

There was a boy
A very strange enchanted boy
They say he wandered very far, very far
Over land and sea
A little shy and sad of eye
But very wise was he
And then one day
A magic day he passed my way
And while we spoke of many things
Fools and kings
This he said to me
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return
The greatest thing you'll ever learn
Is just to love and be loved in return

Evenin'

Evening, every night you come and you find me
And you always remind me that my baby's gone
Evening, you got me deeply in your power
Every minute seems just like an hour, now that my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall, that's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Oh evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin'
I don't care if I don't awaken, since my baby's gone
Shadows fall upon the wall, that's the time I miss your kiss most of all
Even though I try, how can I go on
Evening, let me sleep till glow of dawn is breakin'
I don't care if I don't awaken, since my man is gone
