Deja Voodoo
Black lights, green eyes starin' me down
The moment I walked in the room
There's this tall, dark woman who's dancin' alone
And she makes me wanna howl at the moon.
Is this a dream, or is it that I've been here before?
Takin' my mind, takin' her time, takin' control. Don't you know?
(Chorus)
That Deja' Voodoo, New Orleans hoodoo
She's got a mojo from hell
That spell I'm under, sometimes I wonder if she's
Witch, queen, or madamoiselle
If Kama Sutra's too hot to suit ya
Well, you're not her kind of man
That Deja' Voodoo- I will if you do
It's Deja' Vu all over again.
She takes my hand and she whispers to me
And says heaven's just beyond the door
She lights the fire and makes it all come to me
By tomorrow I'll be down on the floor.
Is it a dream, or is it that I've been here before?
Takin my mind, takin her time , takin' control. More and more?
(2nd Chorus)
(Bridge)
The moon takes over, desire gets stronger
The feelins won't let me go.
I run for cover, I'm so far under her spell, can't you tell?
(Refrain)
Is this a dream, or is it that I've been here before?
Takin' my mind, takin' her time, takin' control. Don't you know??
(3rd Chorus)
...Deja' Voodoo woman......deja' voodoo woman........

Two Gunslingers
Two gunslingers, walked out in the street
And one said I dont wanna fight no more
And the other gunslinger thought about it
And he said, yeah what are we fighting for?
Im t akin control of my life,
Im takin control of my life
Im takin control of my life now,
Right now, oh yeah
Well the crowd that assembled
For the gun fight were let down
Everyone hissed and booed
And a stranger told h is mrs.
Thats the last one of these gunfights
Youre ever gonna drag me to

Takin Chances
Lestley r. pierce & frankie blue
I like walkin in the park late at night
Tryin to run my motor down
Everybody says I live a dangerous life
Ive got to get ahead somehow
Out here on the street just tryin to get my own
Dont tell me what you think you know
Ooh, most people spend their time at home alone
Just waitin for a check that wont show
Chorus:
Takin chances
No risk, no gain
Takin chances
I really dont mind the pain
Takin chances
If you only knew
Takin chances
Its all for the love of you
I dont like to listen to what people say (uh-huh)
Cause once you start youll never stop
One advantage to doing things my own way
Ill always end up on top
Chorus
Bridge:
Ive got to do it right, ooh Ive got to
Ive got to live my life the way I want to
Im high up on a wire, dont wanna ever come down
And if I fall Ive got to fly

And time doesn't wait for me, it keeps on rollin'
Sail on, on a distant highway
I've got to keep on chasin' a dream
I've gotta be on my way
Wish there was something I could say.
Well I'm takin' my time, I'm just movin' on
You'll forget about me after I've been gone
And I take what I find, I don't want no more
It's just outside of your front door.
It's been such a long time. It's been such a long time.
Well I get so lonely when I am without you
But in my mind, deep in my mind,
I can't forget about you
Good times, and faces that remind me
I'm tryin' to forget your name and leave it all behind me
You're comin' back to find me.

Livin It Up
Livin it up
By: jimmy buffett, josh leo, j.d. souther
1983
He took one last look
Tossed that address book
His odyssey has begun
No time to see sights
Ran all the red lights
Burned all his bridges
Now its love on the run
Chorus:
Livin it up
Is takin all of his time
But he aint givin it up
It suits his temperament fine
Up on the bandstand
Plays for a few fans
Workin for minimum wage
He spots her lookin
His brain is cookin
She takes her seat
At the foot of the stage
Chorus:
Livin it up
Is takin all of his time
But he aint givin it up
It suits his temperament fine
Yeah he loves livin it up
And takin all of his time
But he aint givin it up
It never crosses his mind
Didnt say much, had a soft touch
Knew what felt good in her man
He was the same way and they split the next day
Sang all the way through the yucatan
Chorus:
Livin it up
Is takin all of our time
But we aint givin it up
It never crosses our mind
No no no hes just livin it up
And takin all of his time
But he aint givin her up
She suits his temperament fine
Yeah shes just livin it up
And takin all of his time
But she aint givin him up
It never crosses her mind

Takin The Time
Youre working overtime
You know it doesnt do you no good
Youre slaving away for things that you need
Roof is falling down on round your head
Youre backed against the wall
Living your whole damn life
At someone elses beck and call
On the edge of the [night/knife]
Aaaaahhhh, come on
Come in, youre bruised and battered
You need some time to heal
Step out of the bullet train
Set yourself down, I know how you feel
Slow down your racing pulses
Overthrow all your of fears
For an hour, be a simple man
And Ill be a good set of ears
Aaaaahhhh, come on
Chorus
Takin the time to look
Takin the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
Takin the time to look
Takin the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
Youre movin heaven and earth
And straining every nerve
Always working double time
Burn the midnight oil down to the last [resort/resolve/result]
You cant go your [snowy/showy room] anymore
Wind your smoked glass windows down
If you cant handle opening the door
Aaaaaahhhh, come on
Chorus
Takin the time to look
Takin the time to feel
[when/will] you rewrite your open book
Allow the scars to heal
Takin the time to look
Takin the time to feel

Allow the scars to heal

It's Your Love
Dancin' in the dark
Middle of the night
Takin' your heart
And holdin' it tight
Emotional touch
Touchin' my skin
And askin' you to do
What you've been doin' all over again
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go
CHORUS:
It's your love
It just does somethin' to me
It sends a shock right through me
I can't get enough
And if you wonder
About the spell i'm under
Oh, it's your love
Better than I was
More than I am
And all of this happened
By takin' your hand
And who I am now
Is who I wanted to be
And now that we're together
I'm stronger than ever
I'm happy and free
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think I can keep it all in
And if you asked me why I've changed
All I gotta do is say your sweet name
(Repeat chorus)
Oh, it's a beautiful thing
Don't think i can keep it all in
I just gotta let you know
What it is that won't let me go

The Taker
Hes a giver, hell give her
The kind of attention that shes never known
Hes a helper, hell help her
To open the doors that she cant on her own
Hes a lover, hell love her
In ways that she never has been loved before
And hes a getter, hell get her
By gettin her into the world shes been hungerin for
cause hes a taker, hell take her
To places and make her fly higher than shes ever dared to
Hell take his time before takin advantage
Takin her easy and slow
And after hes taken the body and soul
That she gives him, hell take her for granted
Then hell take off and leave her
Takin all of her pride as he goes
Yes, hes a taker, hell take her ...
Hes a charmer, and hell charm her
With money and manners that I never learned
Hes a leader, and hell lead her
Across pretty bridges hes planning to burn
Hes a talker, hell talk her
Right off of her feet, but he wont talk for long
Cause hes a doer, and hell do her
The way that I never
And damned if he wont do her wrong
cause hes a taker, hell take her
To places and make her fly higher than shes ever dared to
Hell take his time before takin advantage
Takin her easy and slow
And after hes taken the body and soul
That she gives him, hell take her for granted
Then hell take off and leave her
Takin all of her pride as he goes
Yes, hes a taker, hell take her ...

But is it still too early for me to tell?

Your heart is in your throat and I'm speaking my mind

Take It Back

Open season on the open seas and
Captain says no prisoners please
Skull and crossbones on a background of black
We aint stealin were just takin back
Chorus:
We aint stealin were just takin back
Very simple plan of attack
Its our job and a labor of love
Take it home to the up above
We aint stealin were just takin back
Very simple statement of fact
Call it pillage or call it plunder
Were takin it back from them boys down under
Hit us hard, took our treasure
That was the worst thing they could do
It will be our great pleasure
To take it back from that captain kangaroo
Yo ho ho, and a bottle of suds
Its a pirates fight we choose
No we dont want a bucket of blood
Just a cup is all we could use
Just a cup
The sails are up and the bets are down
Lets lighten up this harbor town
By hook or crook or new design
Were streakin for that finish line
Chorus:
We aint stealin were just takin back
Very simple plan of attack
Its our job and a labor of love
Take it home to the up above
We aint stealin were just takin back
Very simple statement of fact
Call it pillage or call it plunder
Were takin it back from them boys down under
-- spoken:
We ask ourselves when we get in a fix
What would popeye do in a tight spot like this
Hed race for his true love and easily win it
In an old spinach can with a mast stuck in it
Lift us up, take us high
Time to let our spirits fly
Lift us up, take us high
Let us sail until we die
Lift us up, take us high
Let us float above the foam
Let our sails fill the sky
We are takin our sweet treasure home
Take it back
Were takin it baaaaaaaack
Take it back!

The Giving & The Taking
I keep on a givin
And I took all the takin
I gave all my love to you
And I took all your hurt
I treated you so good
But you treated me like dirt
They say love is give and take
Now my poor heart is breakin
I keep on a givin
And I took all the takin
I always gave you everything
That I knew how to give I would for you
I treated you too good for my own good
Now Im along and left forsaken
I keep on a givin
And took all the takin
The giving and the takin
Has caused my heart to break
Ive given all that I can give
And I have taken all that I can take
The giving and the takin
Has caused my heart to break
Ive given all that I can give

I'mma Break It Down
[Eazy-E]
My eternal jam is the juice of the radio
takin' out profanity so they can play it though
listen to a hell of a kick and the high hat
going to the record store say ya gonna buy
that the E is connected to the A and the Z ya say Y
so that's how the beats stack it up on material made of hits
takin' my time of Eastline to make sure it fit
push play on the instrumental thats recorded
step on stage and I'm suddenly awarded
some sort of track appeared like a plaque
and some hell of a screen from the girls in the back
takin' a bow cause I got style
never at the bottom of the ways on the top of the pile
yo it's Eazy on top even though I'm short
guarenteed to help when I walk on the court
so get up make some noise for the gangsta clap
gonna tip the laugh I'm not a pranksta
I'm serious Dre my sounds so quit playin' around
cause I'mma break it down
[Eazy-E]
Last time I was takin' my time with this
but other suckaz were makin' a rhyme with this
