My Marilyn
Well I just met you
on the telephone
We talked together
yet still alone
But every moment
was a joy to me
Looking forward to
what ever could be
And when can I call you again
my Marilyn
Sweet anticipation
of meeting you
So many things
I want to say and do
And when I see you
I’m sure I’ll know
Whether or not that you
want me to go
And when can I see you again
my Marilyn
I’m looking forward
to a wonderful life
You may be my friend
my lover or wife
Only time will tell
if this feeling is right
But till that time
why don’t you stay
And if we find
that emotional high
A life together well
you know I will try
To show you how tender
my love can be
And if you want
won’t you take it from me
And when can I love you again
my Marilyn
Oh my Marilyn my Marilyn

Hellcat Inside
She’s got a look of innocence
The kind of look I swear will kill ya
She’s gonna tear down my defense
I gotta know right now girl will ya
She don’t know what her brown eyes do to me
She don’t know the way I feel
I told her so but she doesn’t seem to hear me
All she wants to do is ride she’s a hellcat inside
She’s got a way that makes me feel
That none before me ever knew her
I never had a girl so real
But I don’t know what I mean to her
I don’t know if she really cares for me
I don’t know the way she feels
She told me so but I guess I don’t believe her
All she wants to do is ride she’s a hellcat inside
You don’t know what her loving does to me
You don’t know and never will
I’ll tell you so if you really want to listen
All she wants to do is ride she’s a hellcat inside

Softly Whispers
Did I ever tell you ‘bout
the girl I just can’t live without
And how she touched my heart
with just her smile
Did I ever tell you how
she makes me seem
to want her now
To be with her
I’d walk a distant mile
And when she softly whispers
in my ear
Well you know I wanna hear
Just how good I make her feel
And when she softly
holds me tight
I long to love her
through the night
And tell her so and
make it very clear
That’s when she softly whispers
in my ear
Long ago I knew someone
I’m glad to say the girl is gone
I never even miss her anymore
And now I’m here all by myself
I put my feelings on a shelf
I wonder will a love
come through my door
And when she softly whispers
in my ear
Well you know I wanna hear
Just how good I make her feel
And when she softly
holds me tight
I long to love her
through the night
And tell her so and
make it very clear
That’s when she softly whispers
in my ear
Oh my love
I wish that I could have you
next to me
Oh my oh my love
I found a love I
never thought could be
Let me show you how I feel
to have your love a love so real
Your hugs and kisses
take my breath away
So tell me I can stay the night
and everything will be all right
I want to be with you
all night and day
And when she softly whispers
in my ear
Well you know I wanna hear
Just how good I make her feel
And when she softly
holds me tight
I long to love her
through the night
And tell her so and
make it very clear
That’s when she softly whispers
in my ear
That’s when she softly whispers
in my ear

Understanding
Sometimes when I'm all alone
I have to wonder why
My life has had so many turns
In all the years gone by
So many friends
have come and gone
And at times it makes me sad
They've seen me through
the worst of times
And the best of times we've had
Ask me if I'd change a thing
Sometimes I know I would
But I've lived my life with no regrets
Just like I know I should
Now here you come into my life
A stroke of luck this turn
I want to share it all with you
So much of me to learn
Can I tell you all my dreams
My hopes my needs my fears
I want a man who understands
As I grow older in my years
If you are that man my love
I've been searching all my life
If you can truly understand
Someday I’ll be your wife
A truer love you'll never find
My heart would give its all
Just for a man who understands
The purest love of all

Like The First Time Every Time
I’ve never known
such a love like this before
And I want to feel
such a love forever more
And I-I’m gonna show you
that you’re mine
With a tender love divine
And it feels
like the first time every time
I’ve never known
such a hunger in my heart
And I never want
for a day to be apart
And I-I can’t believe
the way you feel
Making love is so surreal
Girl it feels
like the first time every time
And only you
know the way I feel inside
And only you
keep me oh so satisfied
You’ll never find a man
who loves you more than I
And you’ll never have
another love that makes you cry
And I-I promise love forever more
Let me in and close the door
‘Cause it feels
like the first time every time
Yes it feels
like the first time every time

Every Halloween
Every Halloween the
Trick-or-Treaters ring my bell
Dressed as ghosts and gob'a'lins
and demons straight from Hell
Some are clever some are cute
and some are quite obscene
Same thing happens
every Halloween
Every Halloween the
Jack O'Lantern's on the porch
Smell the burning pumpkin
as the candle starts to scorch
Watch the flames grow higher
when I pour on gasoline
Same thing happens
every Halloween
This year I'm gonna mix it up
I'll tell you what I'll do
I'll hide behind the bushes and
jump out and whisper boo hoo
Every Halloween
the decorations all around
See the candy wrappers as
they throw them on the ground
Sneak behind them with an axe
I love to hear them scream
Same thing happens
every Halloween
This year a costume party
and I'll sing a different tune
I'll take a chance and drop my pants
and go as a full moon
Every Halloween the
stores put candy on the shelves
Buy the kind that I don't like
so I won't stuff myself
Then I eat the children's stashes
till my face turns green
Same thing happens
every Halloween
Same thing happens
every Halloween

Better Run Away
Well I told you once
now I'll tell you twice
Never love a woman
that don't treat me nice
I gotta say better run away
I don't want your lovin'
save it for another day
Well you never done nothin'
but lie to me
I know enough to know
that ain't the way it should be
I gotta say better run away
I can't love you woman
and I can't come out and play
Well when I met you baby
threw away the rules
You and me together
like a couple of fools
I thought I had it all
felt the shivers inside
But then you took me for a ride
Well I'll miss that body
and the things you do
But since you had another
I can't be with you
I gotta say better run away
You can't have me momma
no uh uh no way
Well when I met you baby
threw away the rules
You and me together
like a couple of fools
I thought I had it all
felt the shivers inside
But then you took me for a ride
Well I'll miss that body
and the things you do
But since you had another
I can't be with you
I gotta say better run away

Aye Aye My Bonny Lass
As the sun shines another day
o'er the Rocky Mountain tops
You can see an eternity
and the heaven never stops
Shining down on everything
over rivers trees and grass
Wanna share this moment with
aye aye my Bonny lass
In the land touched by God's hand
Nature takes your breath away
From the snow in the Wintertime
To a warm and Summer day
As the mist rolls among the hills
casting shadows in the rain
How I long to be part of it
and to be there again
When I dream of Colorado
and my mem'ries of the past
Wanna share it all with you
aye aye my Bonny lass
Aye aye my Bonny lass

Whatcha Think Marie
Whatcha think Marie
you wanna dance with me
I’ll take you out on the floor and
girl I’m sure you’ll see
Can I take you home
you shouldn’t be alone
Cause a girl like you
should have a guy like me
So whatcha think Marie
The first time that I saw you
girl I knew
That I would wanna spend
some time with you
And the first time that I held you
as we danced the night away
I knew I had to find a way to say
Whatcha think Marie
you wanna dance with me
I’ll take you out on the floor and
girl I’m sure you’ll see
Can I take you home
you shouldn’t be alone
Cause a girl like you
should have a guy like me
So whatcha think Marie
The first time that I touched
your tender skin
I felt the start of
something good begin
And the first time that I kissed you
on a cold dark winter night
I knew that all my feelings
must be right
Whatcha think Marie
you wanna dance with me
I’ll take you out on the floor and
girl I’m sure you’ll see
Can I take you home
you shouldn’t be alone
Cause a girl like you
should have a guy like me
So whatcha think Marie

Talk To You
It's 9:00 p.m. I get the phone
You say it’s me I’m all alone
I tell you that it’s good
to hear your voice
We talk a while
and then some more
A girl like none
I’ve known before
I know it’s getting late
but I got no choice
I talk to you
in the middle of the night
I talk to you
until the morning light
I've got so much I wanna say
So many songs I wanna play
And yet I’ve never even
seen your eyes
So many things
that we could do
I fell in love
that night with you
And though I’m so afraid
it feels so right
I talk to you
in the middle of the night
I talk to you
until the morning light
And I talk to you
It’s been a while
since we first met
But girl I never will forget
The time or place you
stole my heart away
But you don’t hear
a word I say
And you don’t listen anyway
When I am insecure
you simply say
I talk to you
in the middle of the night
I talk to you
until the morning light
I talk to you
in the middle of the night
I talk to you
until the morning light
And I talk to you
And I talk to you

(Sigh)
You are the wind that lifts
angels to flight
You are the whisper that
I hear each night
You are the sparrow that
sings me a song
And you are my conscience
when I have done wrong
You are the light that
kisses each morning
You are the twinkle
in each star's eye
You are the glisten in
each heart's adorning
And you are the one
that I miss (sigh)
You are the rainbow that
clears rainy gloom
You are the dew drops that
cling to new bloom
You are the wings with
which eagles soar
And you are love in
which I adore
You are the light that
kisses each morning
You are the twinkle
in each star's eye
You are the glisten in
each heart's adorning
And you are the one
that I miss (sigh)
You are the sunshine that
brightens each day
You are the moonlight
in darkness' way
You are my friend when
I'm feeling blue
And you make me laugh
by just being you
You are the light that
kisses each morning
You are the twinkle in
each star's eye
You are the glisten in
each heart's adorning
And you are the one
that I miss (sigh)
You are the one
that I miss (sigh)
You are the one
that I miss (sigh)

I'm Just Me
I met a girl
that's captured all my mind
And why I feel the way I do
I hope to find
She opened up my eyes and
made me see reality
And you are not like any girl
I’ve ever known
And we started out as friends
but now we’ve grown
I want to know that love is
what you feel and if it’s real
When I close my eyes
I see your loving face
And want to hold your body
next to mine
And I realize that
love is not a game
It’s what I want and
need in life to find
And I promise
I will never break your heart
And you have a smile
that tears my fears apart
Every time you whisper
tenderly I’m just me
When I close my eyes
I see your loving face
And want to hold your body
next to mine
And I realize that
love is not a game
It’s what I want and
need in life to find
And I promise
I will never break your heart
And you have a smile
that tears my fears apart
Every time you whisper
tenderly I’m just me

Enough To Say Goodbye
When I wasn’t even looking
you came into my world
And like many more before you,
you said you were my girl
But with all the time and distance
made me sometimes wonder why
Thanks for loving me
enough to say goodbye
Well you live in California and
I’m Indiana bound
But we tried our best to make it
with the happiness we’d found
But as life went on between us
it sometimes made me cry
Thanks for loving me
enough to say goodbye
Well we tried to love long distance
Like millions often do
But we found out the hard way
It’s more fantasy than true
So you finally sent your letter
saying our love can’t go on
Said you need to have your freedom
even though I’m still the one
And though a part of me will love you
till the moment that I die
Thanks for loving me
enough to say goodbye darlin'
Thanks for loving me
enough to say goodbye

Who Do You Think You Are
It's such a shame
this loving game
and I don't want to play it
any more
First things are fine
but over time
becomes a burden
and a bore
And I don't know what to say
but I hate feeling this way
Now that love's called it a day
with you
Hey you yeah you
Just who in the world
do you think you are
to break my heart in two
Hey you yeah you
You're out of my bed
stay out of my head
Don't want your love so true
I'll find somebody new
Forget you
The love we had
so good gone bad
went from making love
to making war
From holding hands
and making plans
to I don't want you
anymore
And I never thought I'd say
never thought I'd feel this way
But I've had it with the things
you do
Hey you yeah you
Just who in the world
do you think you are
to break my heart in two
Hey you yeah you
You're out of my bed
stay out of my head
Don't want your love so true
I'll find somebody new
Forget you
It makes me angry
it makes me mad
It makes me hurt
to feel this bad
I should be happy
to just be friends
But I'm looking for a lover
again
Hey you yeah you
Just who in the world
do you think you are
to break my heart in two
Hey you yeah you
You're out of my bed
stay out of my head
Don't want your love so true
I'll find somebody new
Forget you
And your sister too

Another One For You
Don't be sad don't be blue
don't let things get to you
For you know
life can change on a dime
First it's good then it's bad
first you're happy then you're sad
And you know it's a matter of time
But you know someone cares
and you know someone's there
Though it's hard
when you feel the way you do
Look around look ahead
I will do as I said
So as promised
here's another one for you
Don't be sad when you're down
just remember the sound
Of the laughter of good times gone by
And again you will smile
and feel good for a while
For you know it will last if you try
But you know someone cares
and you know someone's there
Though it's hard
when you feel the way you do
Look around look ahead
I will do as I said
So as promised
here's another one for you

I want a blonde
I want me a blonde
I want to have a yellow haired girl
lying next to me
A bleached blonde baby
I’m in ecstasy
I want to have a girl
lying on my bed
With golden curls
hanging from her head
You may be good

You may be the best thing

But at least one time before I die
I want a blonde

I want to have a light haired girl

Bleached from a bottle
or au natural

Just wanna have someone

You may be the best thing
I ever laid
But at least one time before I die

Earth Angel
Met a girl from Arizona
she took my breath away
Such a girl no one could own her
but I don’t want to anyway
And I’m calling you Earth Angel
With the sunlight in your hair
Know I’m falling too Earth Angel
Look for me I’ll soon be there
everywhere
Said she’s never had a lover
who could treat her tenderly
So I made the girl a promise
if she’d spend the night with me
Gonna hold you my Earth Angel
Let you die here in my arms
As I kiss your lips Earth Angel
Feel the magic of my charm
makes you warm
So we spent the night together
and I loved her passionately
I could tell I made her happy
by the way she looked at me
And I miss you my Earth Angel
Cause you’re a million miles away
Wanna come to you Earth Angel
Gonna be with you someday
find a way

Lying In Your Arms Tonight
Now I’m here
lying in your arms tonight
And I know
that everything will be alright
And I can tell
that you want me here
By the way

And together we will always be
If you only put your trust in me
As I hold you
lying in your arms tonight
Mmm gonna hold you

In Love
Once again I find
That I met a girl and
think that I’m falling in love
What’s going through my mind
Are all the feelings and
emotions of being in love
And I don’t know what to do
Cause my heart is set on you
What a feeling in love
Once again I feel
That I want to give and
live here together in love
You know I hope to find
That all the feelings that
I feel are forever in love
And I don’t know what to say
When you look at me that way
Girl I’m falling in love
But I feel I’m in control
I tell myself
And I’m gonna take it slow
I tell myself
And I’m not gonna
give you my heart
Unless you want me to
Once again I know
That I’m gonna ride and
see where it takes me in love
And when the day is through
Gonna show you how a
man loves a woman in love
And I don’t know what to feel
If this time it isn’t real
But I’m happy in love

Run
I don’t understand
what went wrong
Thought we had a love so strong
A lifetime of laughter and song
Having fun
It happened so suddenly
The bite of reality
You’re taking your love from me
Gonna run
And if you ask me what I think
I’ll tell you so
But if you ask me do I want this
I don’t know
Don’t know what I’m gonna do
If I can’t give my love to you
But if you and I are through
Better run
You better run
Better run
Go on and run

Tell Me A Secret
I've known you for a long time
but still what do I know
I've not ever seen you
but still even though
I feel that I know you
at least as a friend
I may never meet you
but then again
You tell me that you're lonely
and you know I am too
You wonder if ever I
will meet you
You're not sure if ever
or never we will be
You wanna know more
so you say to me
Tell me a secret
that no one will know
Don't care if it's made up
don't care if it's so
As long as it's juicy
like fruit on the vine
Tell me a secret
and I'll tell you mine
We go on as if
someday we'll find
We both share a vision
we both have in mind
We each should know better
that dreams don't come true
We still wanna know more
so I say to you
Tell me a secret
that no one will know
Don't care if it's made up
don't care if it's so
As long as it's juicy
like fruit on the vine
Tell me a secret
and I'll tell you mine
Tell me a secret
and I'll tell you mine
Tell me a secret

As I toss and turn in the
middle of my bed
I wanna tell you
everything that you wanna hear
And I wanna tell you
gonna whisper in your ear
With the words you say
rollin' sweet from your lips
As I'm dreaming of you
and your soft fingertips
I'm gonna show you
what I really want to do
I'm gonna show you
what I really want from you
I wanna tell you
everything's gonna be alright
I wanna tell you

With the words you say
running 'round in my head
As I toss and turn in the

Love Is Gonna Die
What do you do when
your heart has changed
What can you say
when things are not the same
Do you pretend
that nothing is wrong
Or say it can't go on anymore
Who can you tell
when you feel this way
What can you say
when there's nothing to say
Do you believe
that love conquers all
Or know in your heart when it's gone
How I hate to face reality
'Special'ly when
it feels this way to me
No matter what or
how hard you may try
When you feel that
love is gonna die
And I feel that love is gonna die
Where can you turn
when you realize
What can you say when
it's opened your eyes
Do you give in and just carry on
Or face the truth and walk out the door
How I hate to face reality
'Special'ly when
it feels this way to me
No matter what or
how hard you may try
When you feel that
love is gonna die
And I feel that love is gonna die

You Give White Trash A Bad Name
You think you've got a body
that could drive men wild
But if you were salsa
you'd only be mild
You got a mouth like a sailor
the things you say are a shame
And when it comes to etiquette
you give White Trash a bad name
You ought to go on Springer
I bet you'd fit right in
You'd even take your clothes off
and show the world your sin
You like to fight and argue
and play your loser game
But when it comes to common sense
you give White Trash a bad name
When it comes to girls like you
I usually leave them alone
White Trash is too good for you
you're in a class of your own
You treat me like I'm a baby
I hate to hear your voice
And when you talk to people
they tune you out like noise
Your act is so pathetic
your attitude is lame
And when it comes to everything
you give White Trash a bad name
