I had a long conversation with Steve Carlton. He told me that on the days he pitched, he felt it was his responsibility to make everyone around him better, to lift his teammates. That's what I try to do.

Louise And Steve
listen and envision
with total precision
as they do revision
and watch television
with no supervision
a split decision
causes a collision
it leads to division
now she's louise
she tries to appease
there’s no guarantees
cos they're from overseas
they are all maltese
they're hard to please
she falls to her knees
and says she agrees
now that they reprieve
she wants to achieve
to make them all leave
her wish she receives
but being naive
she forgot about steve
she causes aggrieve
thoughts misconceived
she starts to panic
she acts volcanic
her screams' gigantic
the sounds' titanic
now she's finally calmed down
changed into an evening gown
which is a nice reddish brown
she decides to go downtown
in the distance she sees steve
who acts as if he's on the qui vive
he sees her so he leaves
the conversation he's preconceived
she decides to have a good time
make the most while in her prime
on the dance floor she's sublime
the DJ her partner in crime
now all the men she attracts
her dancing really impacts
they start to interact
and guess, guess who’s back
steve comes right up to her face
not giving her any breathing space
argument happens at that place
she looks around and feels disgrace
they get out and go on home
she explains how she felt alone
with people but on her own
she thought she was better known
he explains why he felt sad
and when she followed he felt mad
jealousy making him turn bad
but he's glad to be her lad
they both decide to go to bed
and think about their life ahead
he promises to not see red
'good or I'll find another instead'

Talk To Me
When I see you, girl you turn my head, you make me dizzy
I get a good vibration
When I look into your big blue eyes, I start to quiver and shake
I get a strange sensation
When you walk by me you strut around, you make me crazy, I get no relaxation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation, talk to me
People tell me that you run around and that youre no good
You got a bad reputation
I dont care what all the people say, you know they talk too much
Its a fascination
All I wanna do is talk to you and maybe go out, and form some kind of relation
So talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why dont you
Talk to me - cmon and talk to me
I just wanna talk to you
Girl I wish you knew the way I felt, you think Im silly, that its infatuation
So we better get together soon, because I need you girl
I cant stand the frustration, so
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, all I want is a little conversation
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - why dont you
Talk to me - cmon and talk to me
Talk to me, talk to me, talk to me - I just wanna talk to you
(repeats out)
