Baby Get Your Head Screwed On
Well if youre feelin low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know hes left, but dont be depressed
Baby let your {favorite? } daddy see you through
Oh baby youll be out of your mind,
Baby youll be out of your mind,
Baby youll be out of your mind.
You know youre nice, youre sugar and spice
And I know what youre going through
And if youre hot hot, and even if youre not
Baby let your {favorite? } daddy see you through
Oh baby youll be out of your mind,
Baby youll be out of your mind,
Baby youll be out of your mind.
You were so neat, ever so sweet,
And overnight youve seemed to change
Since you kissed your psychiatrist
Baby, youve never been the same.
Well if youre feelin low, take it slow
Baby get your head screwed on
I know hes left, but dont be depressed
Baby let your favorite daddy see you through
Oh baby youll be out of your mind,
Baby youll be out of your mind,
Baby youll be out of your mind.

Count Me Out
Count me out
Count me out
Fellas want to hang
And save tonight just
For the gang
But youll have to count me
Out this time
If I cant bring my girl
Dont look surprised
When I tell you that
Gotta spend some time
With my baby, yes
So if that means
Were gonna rain on
Your parade
Youll have to count me out
Youre gonna have to count me
Out
Youll have to count me out
I wanna be with my girlfriend
Youll have to count me out
This time
Youll have to count me out
When she asked me please
Could I say no and feel at
Ease
If you count me out tonight
Shes gonna be with me wherever
I go
Shes got a sweet personality
She saves her kisses just for me
So if that means were gonna rain on
Your parade
Youll have to count me out
Youre gonna have to count
Me out
Youll have to count me out
Im saving kisses for my baby
Youll have to count me out

Tease
And when I need her I say please,
Please, please

Man, were going to the movies
Then to the park, to play a little
Ball till it get dark
Thats what being young is all about
Man, c-o-u-n-t me out
Well what about us,
Were your friends
We wanna c-o-u-n-t
Me in,
No not tonight
Where you going then
Tonight I wanna be with my girlfriend

Big Daddy
She had such tiny tears
Just like a barbie doll
She likes to shop at sears
And visit shopping malls
Now shes a big mamma
Tell poppa
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Old money
Your old money doesnt matter now
Have mercy
Mercy, mercy, daddys going fishing now
He put the bait onto his line
Hes winding out his reel
Fish are swimming in the pond
Gonna let em sail away
Hes got his eye on you
He knows just what she wants
The fish is gonna bite
She is his latest catch
cause hes big daddy
Oh, mammy
Cry, cry, cry, cry
Big daddy
Oh, daddys scraping bottom now
Oh, momma
Daddy, daddy, daddy does the talking now
Mesmerized like horny toads
By shiny things like jewels and gold
Throwing all their pearls to swing
Let em sail away
You lucky dog
Youll be on easy street
Drinking champagne
She gets all that she wants
His hearts desire
No more worries anymore
Like a fairy tale
Anything that she likes
I seen you do the dog
I seen you getting down
A swimming back and forth
When daddys not around
Big daddy
Oh, shes pretty as a picture now
Oh, momma
Oh, what a little martyr now
He knows how to drive em wild
One day youd think shed see
Saying this is mine and this is her.
Now take that stuff away
Its best left unspoken
One and one is two
The velvet lies sing softly
Each with a golden spoon
And she passed her time in the wind and the rain
Got a one way ticket on a southbound train
Said baby, baby, wants to have a good time
And big daddy laughed
And big daddy smiled
Like dynamite
One fine day shell explode
Whos laughing now?
No one sees anymore
Sneak in and out
Dont get caught running round
Swim back and forth
Bubbles float to the top

Ill Be Fine
Day and night I wonder how youre feeling
I wonder if youll ever change your mind
I dont know just what it is youre dealing
But I know youve got me in a bind
Day and night I wonder how you do it
Put me in this awful state of mind
How on earth can you be so unfeeling
How on earth can you be so unkind
Well Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
You never want to sit and talk it over
You always want to run right out the door
Come and sit right down here on the sofa
Tell me baby right now whats the score
Dont you tell me there aint nothing doing
There aint nothing else thats true to say
I just wanna hear my baby cooing
I dont wanna hear our love is dead
I will be fine with you if you be good to me
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
If youll be good to me, Ill be fine with you
If youll be good to me then we just cant lose
If youll be good to me, Ill be happy for all of my days
Day and night I wonder how youre feeling
I wonder if youll ever change your mind
I dont know just what it is youre dealing
But I know youve got me in a bind
Day and night I wonder how you do it
Put me in this awful state of mind
How on earth can you be so unfeeling
How on earth can you be so unkind
Well Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight
Ill be fine with you in the morning
If youll be good to me tonight

Starstruck
Baby, you dont know what youre saying,
Because youre a victim of bright city lights,
And your mind is not right.
You think the worlds at your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, youre running around like youre crazy.
You go to a party and dance through the night,
And youll drink till youre tight,
And then youre out on your feet.
cause youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Baby, watch out or else youll be ruined,
cause once youre addicted to wine and champagne,
Its gonna drive you insane,
Because the worlds not so tame.
And youre starstruck, baby, starstruck.
Youre taken in by the lights,
Think youll never look back,
You know youre starstruck on me.
Dont you know that you are,
Starstruck on me.
And you always will be,
Starstruck on me.
Starstruck on me.

Maybe Someday
Maybe someday youll be satisfied
When youve lost everything youll have nothing left to hide.
When youre through running over things like youre walking cross the tracks,
Maybe youll beg me to take you back.
Maybe someday youll find out everybodys somebodys fool,
Maybe then youll realize what it would have taken to keep me cool.
Maybe someday when youre by yourself alone
Youll know the love that I had for you was never my own.
Maybe someday youll have nowhere to turn,
Youll look back and wonder bout the bridges you have burned.
Youll look back sometime when the lights grow dim
And youll see you look much better with me than you do with him.
Through hostile cities and unfriendly towns,
Thirty pieces of silver, no money down.
Maybe someday, you will understand
That something for nothing is everybodys plan.
Maybe someday youll remember what you felt
When there was blood on the moon in the cotton belt.
When both of us, baby, were going though some sort of a test
Neither one of us could do what we do best.
I should have known better, baby, I should have called your bluff.
I guess I was too off the handle, not sentimental enough.
Maybe someday, youll believe me when I say
That I wanted you, baby, in every kind of way.
Maybe someday youll hear a voice from on high
Sayin for whose sake did you live, for whose sake did you die?
Forgive me, baby, for what I didnt do
For not breakin down no bedroom door to get at you.
Always was a sucker for the right cross.
Never wanted to go home til the last cent was lost.
Maybe someday you will look back and see
That I made it so easy for you to follow me.
Maybe someday therell be nothing to tell.
Im just as happy as you, baby, I just cant say it so well.
Never slumbered or slept or waited for lightning to strike.
Theres no excuse for you to say that we dont think alike.
You said you were going to frisco, stay a couple of months.
I always liked san francisco, I was there for a party once.
Maybe someday youll see that its true
There was no greater love than what I had for you.

The Easy Road
If youre looking for a place
You can fly together
And youre really afraid of
What youre leaving behind
Take the easiest road
But take care my brother
For youll never find peace
With a troubled mind
Far better to love each other
Than to worry so deeply
bout the place youre in
And far better to kiss her softly
Than lookin back on a love
Youll never have again
Times as fickle as
The sky in winter
And two hearts always
Were better than one
Love has the wings
Of a tireless angel
Shell stay beside you
Till the day is done
La la la la la ...
Youll never have again
No no no, never again
Youll never have again
