Let's talk about it

We're really gonna have a good time and get this party started right up!

And if you want to have it on the daily
Then dip your leg into this good gravy
So turn it up louder
A little more louder
Turn it all the way up!
We got the funkin' happenin' baby

I'm undercover! Can't remember my name
It's a motherfunker...But I love this place
Warm up and take another shot
Not too hot or that game is gonna stop
Watch out she says she wanna talk
About what? Better listen to what she's says
I'm...trying to find some peace of mind my baby
I...need a slow unwind, please take me
Well you do you And I'll do me Another favour
I give you all of my love But maybe not enough to save the day
Ahhaaaahh yeah yeah
She bought a big mercedes
Come on now mama don't be so cold
Woah woah woahhhh
A bumper stumper (hey hey)
She's a bumper stumper hey hey yeah
She's just a bumper stumper
She's a bumper stumper
Watch out that woman don't play
And I love to love her
Even when she makes it rain
She's a bumper stumper
And you better sit down for what she say
She's a bumper stumper
Gonna riddle it out another day
I...never had another lover quite this way
Broke me down and take away all the change
If you leave me baby I'll never be the same
But if your bread ain't buttered then you better get going on your way
Let me say it so you understand it plain
I love the pleasure baby and I love the pain ooh hoo
She's a bumper stumper baby
She's livin it up
Livin it up
Livin it up like it's never gonna stop oh no
Eeeeeheee ooohhee
If I never get a chance to love you once again
I love the pleasure baby and I love the pain
She's a bumper stumper baby
Won't get another chance
Don't let her get away
She's a bumper stumper baby
Would you look at that
You let her get away
Oh baby
Oh baby

I had the same dream again but some of it was new
Was such a strange thing she said – now what should I do?
Oh baby are you ready yet
(or) should I go find something new?
And I wonder if we never met…would I still like the things I do?
Show me that you care a little more
Tell me that we’ve got some more in store
I never wanted anything but you
Not until today
On any other night
I doubt I’d feel this way
Hey now baby are you ready set
Some good things come when you least expect it
So put on that little black dress
And hold your head up higher than the rest
Until you get whatever comes next
A good friend said that the best is yet…to come
Cause I know you still love me, Even though you make me feel so blue
She’s half crazy she don’t ever even really wanna talk about it
So taboo (She's) Like, “Baby can’t you leave ‘Us’ out (of) it’ oh yeah
It’s just my luck I lost my funk
No matter what I say She says we’re done
And I moved out of my old spot
The light is on And I’m just out here waiting x 2
Come on now wait a minute
Hold me like you never have before for a minute

Light It Up

Light it up –If you wanna get away
Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it
Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone
Light it up –It’s time for you to move along
I wanna ride on home
I’m gonna leave this mess alone
Grab my bone, roll my stones
And kick em on down the road fo sho
I’m gonna write your wrongs
And set em aflame so you will know
when the lights go down
Won’t be nothing but some sweat here on my brow wow wow
Light it up –If you wanna get away
Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it
Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone
Light it up –It’s time for you to move along
How many times have I heard your lies
Hot and heavy she be yakkin at me all dang night
How would it feel if it was I
Talkin’ business at your party baby every time
And you gon’ have to sit right there and hear this
And I’m sorry if it doesn’t really sit quite right
I’m on a roll I’m feeling fearless
Oh honey that ain’t nothin but your foolish pride
Light it up –If you wanna get away
Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it
Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone
Light it up –It’s time for you to move along
Bridge
Where do we go from here?
Where does it take us in the end
Where do we go from here baby…There’s no point to pretend…
Karma gonna get you in the end
This ride'll dump you off right where it began
What will you do when you can't no more?
Close the door, On the floor, Cryin' I'm so poor
Thinkin' 'bout the good times that we had
Wasn't too bad I guess we had a little love goin' on
But those day are gone, I'm moving on to better thangs
Out the haze of a love gone wrong
Light it up –If you wanna get away
Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it
Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone
Light it up –It’s time for you to move along
Light it up –If you wanna get away
Light it up –Anytime you wanna say it
Light it up –Breathe deep the funk until it’s gone
Light it up –It’s time for you to move along
Well now how does it really sound when your man ain't around and it's 12 o'clock?
The clock tick tocks, the faucet drops
So lonely at the bottom, when you're used to bein' on the top
Penny or a pound just to hear your thoughts
Oh will you wallow in the bottle
Or sober back up.
Can't stop to talk, I’m pushing off the dock I’m hopped up
Because I finally went and shot my shot!
I'm sorry you're gone But maybe I'm not
On second thought it's a lot to keep you propped up.
I'm walking off into the sun Wearing number one
seeing what I've become
(SCAT OUT)

Dust yourself off, it’s just another knock knock

Slow Your Roll
03:12
|

Why don't you catch a flight
And meet me down in L.A.?
The beach looks very nice
I hear it's always sunny every day.
If you slow your roll
I'll feel it in my soul
Our love light might be gone
So come and get it
Table's set
Yes I said it's time to get it on
Yes pretty mama, it's another sunny summer
With you here on my mind
(And) I would have no other for a lover
I'm a sucker for you right by my side
(I) Said I loved you
But you turn around and push me far away hey
We broke up just like an ice jam in Qu’appelle in early May
I’ve been tryin
To find ya
I want to hear you say
Don’t ever give up I’ll fill your cup
With my love someday
I’m dyin
To find ya
I just can’t turn away
If I ever get a chance
I’ll take your hand
And hold on night and day

I got up last night
I even made the bed
I keep a pillow in the place
you used to lay your head
I stayed up all night
I even shaved my face
Just the way you used to like
Softly like a babe
Oh woah woah I just cannot let you go
Take me back
I need it yeah
I got to have some more
It’s all wrong gone wrong
I wanna start again
Put away the pieces
And play another game
There’ll be no such luck
For me I’ve lost my way
Just desserts are coldest served
So dish me up a plate
Oh woah woah woah woah
Let me run again
The things I’d do to be with you
Would put us both to shame
I got up today
I even cleaned the place
I did it twice
That’s my new vice
And you’re the one to blame
I don’t know, what I did
I’m lost without ya babe
Here my dear, real tears
Streaming down my face
Woah oh oh I want you back I said
I need to have another chance
I need you one mo gain
I've got half an empty bottle and I’d like to raise a toast
Dare I say you’ve been forewarned I’m rather on the nose

Easy baby, it don’t really matter what you say
Yes I loved you from the get go I was in a daze
I gave you all my lovin’
Was it all for nothin’ ?
(She) talkin’ ‘bout parting ways
Now you want a new who
Tell me what I should do
How to be back in your grace
Yeah yeah yeah Somebody help me please
Yeah Yeah yeah She got me on my knees
It ain’t nothin but another one of your good looks
It’s not fair she got me stretched out on her tenterhooks
Oh baby why you tryin to hurt me
I don’t deserve it, I don’t do those things no more.
No baby don’t do it don’t do it to me
Don’t treat me that way…
SHeeee…
She is someone very complicated cruel to me
Oh Baby tell me what I wanna hear
It’s always blowing up in here
I hear your voices in my ear
and I’m up in you rear view mirror
And maybe that why it’s clear
Wasn’t quite what it appeared
A damsel or a devil I fear
Whoah
She’s a devil I fear x 2
Please baby
Woaah yeeeehee please start it right
She’s a devil I fear…yea

Sunset, Summer Breeze, Goodness me
I miss the way it used to be
Don't forget it can change in a minute
Oh now just wait and see
Swing set Honey bees
Goodness me
You know I want it how how it used to be
Don't forget it can change in a minute
And once its gone then you will see
Yes it can (repeats descending)
Don't forget it nononono
Don't get left with broken dreams
(Don't forget it!)
Something's changing and you've got to realize
Slow down and take your time
(Don't forget it!)
Something's changing and you've got to realize
Slow down and take your time
Don't forget it nononono
Don't get left with broken dreams
I knew a lady she was very special to me
She made me happy And I felt like a king
I took my sweet time And not a minute sooner
Another guy came and took my queen
Don't forget It can change in a minute
Soon you'll see how it used to be
Now Don't forget It can change in an instant
CHORUS 2
Don't forget it nononono
Don't get left with broken dreams
(Don't forget it!)
Don't forget it nononono
Don't get left with broken dreams
(Don't forget it!)
Even if I had an answer, I don't know what I'd do!
Oh baby baby don't you want to find another way
Before we get there honey, tell me really honestly
No maybe maybe it's our time to really get away
Soon you'll see how it used to be now
Oh baby baby don't you want to find another way
Once it's gone then you will see.

Please baby please Don’t go oh no
How I need A hand To hold
I miss the way Of your lovin touch
Those times you really let me know
I rue the day I Iet you get away
Babe I should have told you so
Please baby please
You’re cold So cold
Who’s the one
That’s gonna come and save ya
Who’s the son of a gun who’s gonna take ya
To the candy stand
The milk and honey land
If It’s real baby, I wanna go!
Cuz I’d do anything to see you again
Take a 747 or a diesel train
I’d Fight a fire, tell a lie
Work a dead end job until the day I die
She’s cold as a stone on a windswept plain
She don’t ever wanna see my damn face again
Go on son try your luck
But you better find somebody who gives a funk
Please baby please Don’t go oh no
Please baby please I’m cold so cold
Who’s the one That’s gonna come and save ya
Who’s the son of a gun who’s gonna take ya
To the candy stand
The milk and honey land
If It’s real baby, I wanna go!
The pieces of the puzzle put a tear in my eye
Cuz The one who I’ve been missing Doesn’t want me to find
Nothing left to say just a long goodbye
I tell you that lady Put me out of her mind
Now I’m Inside out I’m front to the back
I Had a good thing Now I’m out on my ass
My friend tried to tell me and I laughed in his face
Now I gotta go and ask if I can crash at his place oh no
Who’s the one
That’s gonna come and save ya
Who’s the son of a gun who’s gonna take ya
To the candy stand
The milk and honey land
Is it real
Ooh is it real baby?
I wanna go!

If Ya Got It
04:40
|

If you got it flaunt it Don’t hide away
Let everybody see How you do everyday
You can put it on the pulpit, or Swear it away
Climb up on a mountain and wave your flag
Why would you care what anybody says?
They wouldn’t know a real one if it fell on their head
And if you dare what you do, it’s only up to you
Who takes what they’re given and howls at the moon
Do you know
How many times I tried
To make it in this world
And keep a little pride
And if there was just one thing
I would say to keep on, keep on going on
If you can’t catch a comet Then Just take a plane
Either way you do it you’ll be on your way
Said The people you could meet The friends you never see
I wonder are they out there waiting like me
You’re a burning flame so bright in the black
Don’t wish away your days, they ain't never coming back.
Oh no no no no
Come on, let’s go, Your way! On your way! Let’s Go hee hee
