O Let Me in Thes Ae Night
His question
O Lassie, are ye sleepin yet,
Or are ye waukin, I wad wit?
For Love has bound me hand an' fit,
And I would fain be in, jo.
Chorus
O let me in this ae night,
This ae, ae, ae night;
O let me in this ae night,
I'll no come back again, jo!
O hear'st thou not the wind an' weet?
Nae star blinks thro' the driving sleet;
Tak pity on my weary feet,
And shield me frae the rain, jo.
Chorus
O let me in, etc.
The bitter blast that round me blaws,
Unheeded howls, unheeded fa's;
The cauldness o' thy heart's the cause
Of a' my care and pine, jo.
Chorus 2x
O let me in, etc.
Her answer
O tell na me o' wind an' rain,
Upbraid na me wi' cauld disdain,
Gae back the gate ye cam again,
I winna let ye in, jo.
Chorus
I tell you now this ae night,
This ae, ae, ae night;
And ance for a' this ae night,
I winna let ye in, jo.
The snellest blast, at mirkest hours,
That round the pathless wand'rer pours
Is nocht to what poor she endures,
That's trusted faithless man, jo.
Chorus
I tell you now, etc.
The sweetest flower that deck'd the mead,
Now trodden like the vilest weed—
Let simple maid the lesson read
The weird may be her ain, jo.
Chorus
I tell you now, etc.
The bird that charm'd his summer day,
Is now the cruel Fowler's prey;
Let witless, trusting, Woman say
How aft her fate's the same, jo!
Chorus
I tell you now, etc.

You Got Me
Momma said be careful what you do, yeah you.
She said, don't you let just anybody talk to you, no no no
I can't hide the way you make me feel inside
I'm afraid if momma only knew, it feels right
Chorus:
If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long
I confess i love the things you do, yes i do
Your caress keeps me coming back to you, only you
Chorus:
If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

If you want me, you got me, and if you need me, you got me all night
And if you love me, you got me all night long

And if you love me, you got me all night long

She Goes Down
Little miss muffet
Sweet girls school stuff and
A country smile and charm
Out in the back
Of my 58 chevy
She said shed do me no harm
You know she makes me feel good
Just like a bad girl should
(chorus)
She goes down
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
All night long
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
Sassy little lassie
Walking right past me
Down in tennessee
Always a lady
I love southern ladies
They just know how to please
Its like connecting the dots
Start at the bottom, lick it to the top
(chorus)
You know she makes me feel good
Everyday, any way
She goes down
All night long
She goes down
She goes down
Down, down, down
All of the day
All of the night
Lick those lips
Do you up right
Up and down
Round and round
Round the world
Scream it out
You know she makes me feel good
Cya out in hollywood
(solo)
Flat on my back she goes down
For backstage pass, she goes down
With all of my friends, she goes down
She gives heart attack, she goes...

Up in the Morning Early
Cauld blaws the wind frae east to west,
The drift is driving sairly;
Sae loud shrill`s I hear the blast,
I`m sure it`s winters fairly.
CHORUS:Up in the morning`s no for me,
Up in the mornings early;
When a` the hills are cover`d wi` snaw,
I`m sure it`s winter fairly.
The birds sit chittering on the the thorn,
A` day they fare but sparely;
And lang`s the night frae e`en to morn,
I`m sure it`s winter fairly.
CHORUS: Up in the morning`s no for me,
Up in the mornings early;
When a` the hills are cover`d wi` snaw,

Did We Really Ever Try
(J.P. Maunick / M. Edwards)
Chorus:
Did we really ever try to understand each other?
Or was it just a game that sometimes people play?
Did we really ever see eye to eye, I wonder?
Was it just a game that sometimes people play?
[Sometimes people play]
I wonder if
We ever listened
To a word
That the other had to say
All that we shared
Our inner treasures
Are used against each other as we fall
Chorus
I wonder if
Before we started
We could have known
That the road would end this way
What makes us give
Our hearts so freely
Only to find that we're strangers after all
Chorus
Night and day, night and day, day and night
Night and day, people play, day and night
We fool ourselves
Into believing
Our difference will surely change in time
So we proceed
Blissfully blinded
Throwing caution to the wind along the way

One Night A Day
Theres not a lot of things to do
I wouldnt rather do with you
Guess Im funny that way
Lately I just sit and stare
I talk to people who arent there
To get through one night a day.
(chorus)
One night a day
One step away
From leavin you behind
I sit up with the radio
Sing along with the ones I know
To get through one night a day.
*chorus*
Im callin every friend Ive had
Wake em up, and make em mad
Let em know that Im okay.
I used to sit and talk to you
Theyre all just a substitute
To get through one night a day.
*chorus*
I stay up with the late, late show
Just another way I know
To get through one night a day
To get through one night a day.

And I cant get nothing right
And then you wonder why stand at the bar
Day and night

I cant put up with any more
No no no no no no no

Well, people tell me youre punctual man
But come on

I earn the money and you take it away
When I dont know where youre from

But if it ever happens honey

A Little Night Dancin'
Written by John Mellencamp
Well west of Zion
They got a hot spot brewing
Handcuffs and kisses
For the people who live there
Guitar player's playing
Cinderella saying
Hey boys get that spoon to my nose
And we'll run through the midnight air
CHORUS:
Night, night, whoa night dancin'
Hey just a little, little, little night dancin'
Night, night, whoa night dancin'
Hey just a little, little, little night dancin'
Sodom and Gomorah
They run the roadhouse
They keep everything jumping
As the drummer keeps the beat
And it's really something when those kids start bitchin'
Yeah it starts me itching
As I jump to my feet

My heart cant be gay and light,
Like sightless eyes, that will never see the sun,
Im lost, like a stranger in the night.

Theres no need for me, to even try,
Nothin will turn out right,
When I lost your love, I lost the will to live,
And Im lost, like a stranger in the night

Tho I pray with all my might,

Cool With You
Late last night
I was goin through some old things
When i Saw a picture of you and my best friend
It reminded me of day when you were mine
You had a way that always let me hear with a smile
I want those sweet days back agian
Cause baby
[Chorus:]
Its sunny day
But you're not around
That dog gone rain might as well be pouring down
Its such a shame
Cause your heart on the ground
Just wanna be cool with you again
Sometimes I sit By the fire and remonance
About the time we spent infront of it
And that old flame will never be the same
Until you come back and re-candlelight
I just wanna share my heart with you again
Cause babe
[Chorus]
I fall asleep at night
And often see you here
In my dreams
Holding me
But then I wake up and I realize that you're
Not here with me
It hurts so much
I gotta have you back babe

Light Of Love
Standing at the terminal, I can almost hear the music
Coming from the cold and chilly early night
When we get to the gate, baby, all of the things that were said
Will they turn you 'round and bring you back
Will they bring you back, will you come back home 'cos you know I'm waiting
Chorus:
The light of love is always on
You know my love's getting stronger and stronger
The light of love is always on, keepin' the night watch
Baby are you lonely, don't talk to strangers
I'm tryin' to tell myself you won't be gone for long
And when we get to the part, baby, where all of the tears start to come
Will you turn around, get on the plane that brings you back
Will you come back home, 'cos you know I'm waiting

Every night its the same
I hear you callin my name
Youre lyin next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize its just a dream, but
Chorus:
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day

Pretend that everythings ok, but

And now I
Know theres no reason to smile
Its gonna take me awhile
Cause I still love you desperately

Watch the sun goin down
There aint nobody around

I keep on tellin myself
I dont need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but

Skin Trade
Working on the weekend baby
Shes working all through the night.
A jump into the deep end,
Gave her the evidence she required.
Take five, shes got pearls,
Dont fake it when it comes to making money -
So... she smiles, but thats cruel
If you knew what shed think, if you knew what she was after...
Sometimes she wonders... and she laughs in her frustration
Would someone please explain...
The reason for this strange behaviour
In exploitations name...
We must be working for the skin trade.
Doctors of the revolution gave us, the medicine we desired.
Besides being absolutely painless its a question of compromise
Youve got steel, its so cool,
Get angry at the weekend then go back to school
So big deal, its what rules
When it comes to making money, say yes, please, thank you...
Sometimes you wonder, and you ask yourself the question

I know the answer... but Im asking you the question...

You could be the one
That brightnes-up my life
You could be the one

Only wanna be with you

Know that its true dont have to convince myself to believe
What secrets sleep in the heart of a man
And so much love wasted it slip right through my hands you see it in the eyes
Of the lonely as they make their weary way shimmer in the eyes of the longing
And I hear it say

To believe
What secrets sleep in the heart of the night and my dreams of salvation are
Slipping out of sight in the shimmering moments of the twilight the closing
Of the tide whisper on the wind of a rescue savior in time

Thank you kindly but that dont help
Maybe its just me
It seems Ive had this problem since
My baby packed up to leave

You see she used to be my sunshine
Now were far apart
Night is fallin in my heart
Oh, the light is slowly fading
Skies are growing dark
Night is fallin in my heart
Could you pull those curtains back
And let the morning in
Whats that you say? oh is that a fact?
Well, it still seems mighty dim
I guess Ill just have to live this way
Unless my baby come back again

And as the last ray of love
Slowly disappears
Alone in this endless night
I just see one thing clear

Cut Me Out
Night after night
Day after day
Hours and seconds to go
Dying of fright
Nothing to say
Ive got no money to show
Picking at the bits and pieces of this puzzle game
Educated reasons why I have to wear this shame
Hey you - cut me out
Come back - and put my money down
Hey you - what have I done to you
Dont - dont spread the news around
Dreams in my sleep
Are tales from the cards
I see the final countdown
Reptiles that creep
Pushing me hard
Making me go one more round
Just another night - begging for mercy
What can I do - pleading n searching
In the night

Heaven Only Knows
I watch the world go round and round
And my life goes by at the speed of sound
I walk the night
And I wonder just where I belong, oh
My heart is young, but my soul is old
Ive never been one to do what I was told
My back to the wall
Is the only place I can feel strong, oh
Chorus
Heaven only knows what lies before me
Heaven only knows what all my searching is for
All my life Ive waited for a miracle
But I cant ask for anything more
I like to think Im a faithful man
To resist desire, I do all I can
I hope to die in the arms of the woman I love, oh

Ive always wondered how to know right from wrong
Looking for a reason to replace what is gone
But somehow the road just seems to lead right back to me
