I can think of nothing else
When I wake up in the morning and I rub my eyes
I can think of nothing else in my bed at night
Burning up but also freezing
There’s a feeling deep down here in my stomach
Like a hundred million brilliant little butterflies
Exploding in an orgy of outrageous color
And this girl I’m seeing is the reason
And I understand
About injustices and all the inequality
And I understand
She wants to make this world a better place for everybody
And when we go out
And she’s sharing all this vital information with me
The way that she smells
God help me, I can think of nothing else
So now I’m feeling like I’m really just an awful person
As I stand here volunteering at the hospital
I do and say the things to keep up the good guy appearance
But I’m really wishing she would meet me in the closet
I don’t want to make her feel like she’s
In a relationship with nothing but a sex addict
And I know that when we do it, she’s probably thinking
He’s so into it, it’s like he’s never had it
But in a way it’s true - it’s never been like this
Not even close as far as I can tell
Can I help it if this girl has got the sweetest kiss?
So sexy, I can think of nothing else
Let me tell you what happened
I went to see my priest in the confessional
I guess that what I shared was pretty questionable
He started telling me this is how Satan fell
And so apparently I’m going straight to hell
Today she made me breakfast – it’s like I never eaten
Don’t mean to sound sexist – she’s got ‘em all beaten
I really wish I could but I can’t help myself
She does it all so good, I can think of nothing else

Wanting You
03:22

I see you walking down the street in London Town
You look good, you look good, you do
Dancing to that sweet Parisian sound in a disco
It’s so good, it’s so good, it’s so good
If I only could I would…
Love you every morning baby
Twice this afternoon
All throughout the evening honey
You know it cannot come too soon
I just can’t get enough it seems here in between the lines
Baby you’re the stuff of dreams
After a thousand times I’ll still be wanting you
They should be lining up to cheer you in New York
You’re so fine, you’re so fine, you are
And signing up to hear you when you talk
Ooh, how’d you get so smart babe?
That intellect has got me wrecked
If that ain’t enough, you crack me up too
Besides the class and how fine that ass is
Man I’m a goner for a girl in some glasses
It’s so good, it’s so good, it’s so good and so deeply understood
It’s so good, it’s so good, it’s so good – If I only could I would…
Love you every morning baby
Twice this afternoon
All throughout the evening maybe
This time we won’t come too soon
I just can’t get enough it seems
So tickled pink you’re mine
Baby you’re the stuff and even when you’re 99
I’ll still be wanting you
I’ll still be wanting you

Gorgeous

Out to dinner on our second date
Staring at the food upon your plate
If I gaze too long into your eyes
I might end up drowning hypnotized
Can’t believe the first time you said yes
And why again is anybody’s guess
Trying so damn hard to keep my cool
I can’t come off an infatuated fool
But baby honestly, you’re a mystery to me
How can someone be so gorgeous?
You know your Yankees and your Rock and Roll
Everything you say is from your soul
Compassion, wit, intelligence and style
Through the most intoxicating smile
Baby honestly, you’re a mystery to me
I mean how can someone be so gorgeous?
I can’t figure it out
Makes me want to shout
Both inside and out, you’re gorgeous
Now you might laugh and think that I’m insane
But I would love to take you dancing in the rain
Take the time to learn what no one knows
Take all night just picking out your clothes
I know I’ve never felt this way before
I knew the moment you walked through that door
The truth holding hands right now with you
Is better than any sex I ever knew
Baby honestly, you’re a miracle to me
How can someone be so gorgeous?
And if I have my way
When we’re old and gray
I’ll look at you and say, “Still gorgeous.”

Naked Swoon
03:30

Swoon when you walk into the room
You could be my favorite tune
I would hum you all day
Swoon like I'm dreaming in a disco
Never been to San Francisco
But I would go if you say
You make me feel like I just put on my new roller skates
I'm rolling fine like 1979
You skate on by and it evaporates
Swoon like I'm walking on the moon
You must be my favorite tune
You're so stuck in my head
Swoon when I see you in the diner
Never been to Carolina
But I would go if you said
You make me want to go and buy you
A new dress and corsage
You're standing there with all that sun in your hair
Are you for real or is it just a mirage?
Swoon when you walk into the room
You could be my favorite tune
I would hum you all day
Swoon when I'm tripping on your Visco
Never been to San Francisco
But I would go if you say
Baby I don't know how this goes
It's like I'm dreaming in a disco
Never been to San Francisco
But I would go if you say
I would go if you say

Alarm Clock

The bed so very nice here
Our piece of paradise dear
Sleep so deep, it’s oh so hard to leave
There’s a job to do, though
A lot depends on you
So I make it my responsibility
Let me be your alarm clock baby
Let me be the thing that wakes you up
Let me be your alarm clock baby
I can hold the string that takes you up
Right where you belong
Love you good and strong
Send you with a song into your day
Let me be your alarm clock baby
Baby alarm clock all the way
The days are crazy busy
By 10 each night you’re dizzy
Here’s a little secret you can keep
Give me 20 minutes
I’ll make coffee when we’re finished
You know you can’t afford to oversleep
I know how hard it is to get up every morning
When the sun ain’t even shining in your eyes
We can take advantage of the new day dawning
With something else guaranteed to rise

In The Daytime
04:45

I like to see which way I’m goin’
When I’m goin’ all the way to heaven
I get to see how good the wind is blowin’
With the sunlight creepin’ through the window
Doin’ it in the daytime
Doin’ it in the daytime
Teacher says it’s playtime
(There’s just something about the sunshine)
And we’re doin’ it in the daytime
Don’t get me wrong, I like the nighttime
When it’s dark and we’ve got Marvin
Singing “I Want You” while we’re snugglin’
But you know that 4pm can really be the right time
Keep ‘em open, let me show you something
Say hello to this man right here above you baby
Don’t you know how much he really loves you baby?
And even though you were so damn fine at 17
This is so the finest thing he’s ever seen
Say hello to this man right here below you darlin’
You should know he’s so grateful to know you darlin’
And even though you were oh so fine at 17
This is so the finest place he’s ever been

College Girl
03:44
|

By the pale light of the TV
You lay right out beneath me
It’s beyond my mind how sweet and kind (shapely and fine)
A real loving woman can be
When we met, you were a college girl
You gave me a life and place in this world
Now you’re a wife and a mother of two
And I’m the lucky one who gets to get wit you
I never dreamed so far along
We’d still be having this much fun
You no longer act like a college girl
Oooh, but you still sure look like one
By the glow now of the disco ball
In a little club out by the mall
On a Friday night you hold me tight
I wipe away a tear from the joy of it all
When we met, we danced to R.E.M.
The Smiths and The Cure with the rest of them
Songs so pure and a love so true
And I’m the lucky one who got to dance with you
I never dreamed so far along
Still so much to say when the day is done
You no longer talk like a college girl
Oooh, but you still sure move like one

Only Your Body
04:15
|

|
I need your hands to rub the tension away
I need your mouth and every word that you say
Deep in the night I wake up and whisper your name
There could be lover upon lover but no other could ever be the same
Only your body will do
Only your body will do
I need your tips so I can get in the groove
I need your hips and all of the ways that they move
The morning comes – I still can’t believe how it came
There could be lover upon lover but no other could ever feel the same
Only your body will do
Only your body will do when I need it
The way that you smell and the way that you feel
When we’re moving together
Millions of people and out of them all
I would choose you forever and ever and ever
And oh…only your body will do
Only your body will do
When I need it
Only your body will do
I need your legs ‘cause they keep me feeling so young
I need your lips ‘cause they know the way to your tongue

Whatever It Takes
03:20

I want to tell you baby
You got that thing I like
And I can see you baby
Right up here on the mic
I want to get with you woman
I want to tell you baby
You got that stuff I need
And I can please you baby
On the book, that’s guaranteed
I want to get with you woman
What’s it gonna take to make you mine?
I never seen anything so fine
If I gotta sign on the dotted line, let me sign
Let me sign!
Whatever it takes, I got it
Whatever it takes, let me do it
Whatever it takes, pretty girl
Whatever it takes, takes, takes, takes, takes
What’s it gonna take to make you mine?
Your beauty in and out is bordering on divine
Your company’s the kind I need to get behind
Get behind!

Touching Souls
04:14
|

|
It’s like a dream
Usually I just end up in the way
Of most things that I’d like to do or say
But here with you
In the deep blue of the candlelight
A brief, perfect moment in time
Everything’s right
I can’t believe how blessed someone could be
I can’t believe you’re actually lying here with me
Giving yourself completely
Showing me I’m worthy
Of love as I have never known
Forever yours and yours alone
It’s like a dream
Catch my breath and open my eyes
See your face
Hear your sighs
The pleasure in your eyes
The river rushing to the sea
Together momentarily
We get to glimpse eternity
Pure and clean and burning free
When I die this memory
Will be the one inside of me
The night we were together
The night we were together
The night we were together
Touching souls
Touching souls
Touching souls
