Kid Gloves
Shes wearing kid gloves
Will handle me carefully
Cause Ive got a history, cracked up and fragile
And bound to break easy
And if she could talk to me
What good would it do me
Its no secret where Ive been and I have worn so thin
And she can see through me
Chorus 1:
I dont believe a word of it
Cant come around to her now that Ive heard of it
Now that her soft touch is gone
Shes got her kid gloves on
Here is what Ive found
New york just gets me down
When the going got tough, I got a bus ticket
Back to my home town
And all the way I dreamed
Flesh wrapped in velveteen
And the road wrapped around me, the long lonely highway
Gulped down by a greyhound
(chorus 1)
Chorus 2:
I dont believe a word of it
Cant come around to her now that Ive heard of it
Wont come around cause Ill only get hurt and it
Now that her soft touch is gone
How could she ever go on
Without her kid gloves on

Kid Gloves
A world of difference
A world so out of touch
Overwhelmed by everything
But wanting more so much
Call it blind frustration
Call it blind mans bluff
Call each other names
Your voices rude,
Your voices rough
Then you learn the lesson
That its cool to be so tough
Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the lessons
Taught in school wont be enough
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson
That its cool to be so tough
A world of indifference
Heads and hearts too full
Careless of the consequence
Of constant push and pull
Anger got bare knuckles
Anger play the fool
Anger wear a crown of thorns
Reverse the golden rule
Then you learn the lesson
That its tough to be so cool
Handle with kid gloves
Handle with kid gloves
Then you learn the weapons
And the ways of hard-knock school
Put on your kid gloves
Put on your kid gloves
Then you learn the lesson
That its tough to be so cool

Miracle Man
You never asked me what I wanted. you only asked me why.
I never thought that so much trouble was restin on my reply,
I could say it was the nights when I was lonely
And you were the only one whod come.
I could tell you that I like your sensitivity,
When you know its the way that you walk.
Why do you have to say that theres always someone
Who can do it better than I can?
But dont you think that I know that walking on the water
Wont make me a miracle man?
Babys gotta have the things she wants.
You know shes gotta have the things she loves.
Shes got a ten-inch bamboo cigarette holder
And her black patent leather gloves.
And Im doing everything just tryin to please her,
Even crawling around on all fours.
Oh, I thought by now that it was gonna be easy,
But she still seems to want for more.
(chorus)
I hear theyre givin you a bad reputation
Just because youve never been denied.
You try to say youve done it all before.
Baby, you know that you just get tired.
Yet everybody loves you so much, girl.
I just dont know how you stand the strain.
Oh, i, Im the one whos here tonight,
And I dont wanna do it all in vain.

Looks That Kill
Now listen up
Shes razor sharp
If she dont get her way
Shell slice you apart
Now shes cool, cool black
Moves like a cat
If you dont get her game
You might not make it back
(pre-chorus)
Shes got the looks that kill
That kill
Shes got the looks that kill
That kill
(chorus)
Shes got the looks that kill
Now shes bullet-proof
Keeps her motor clean
And believe me, you
Shes a number thirteen
The church strikes midnight
Shes lookin louder and louder
Shes gonna turn on your juice, boy
So she turns on the power

Easy Driver
Easy driver, shes a wicked rider
Shes smooth and shes skinny and shes probably mean
Easy driver, pull up beside her, roll down the window on this fine machine
Chorus:
(ooh ooh ooh) dont turn away, (ooh ooh ooh) just give me a sign
(ooh ooh ooh) dont be afraid, (ooh ooh) love is so hard to find
Easy driver, get on up beside her, she dont drive like she knows the way
Easy driver, roads getting wider
Theres room to run and she might skate away
Come on back, baby what you say
Chorus
One lane away from love, the story of my life
Could I be good enough for your lonely avenue tonight
Its a lonely avenue tonight
Chorus
Easy driver, shes a wicked rider
Shes smooth and shes skinny and shes probably mean
Easy driver, get on up beside her, roll down the window on this fine machine
Easy driver, oh oh oh oh, easy driver, easy driver, easy driver (easy driver)
Easy driver, easy driver, easy driver, easy driver

They Dont Make em Like They Used To
Its every young boys fancy
Its there hidden deep in the heart of a man
Its just a feeling
They wont ever understand
They know they gotta have one
A brand new model and its here today
And dont you know that shes made right here in the u.s.a.
(chorus)
Dont ever stop trying
Dont let her get away
They dont make em like they used to
I think theyre better than before
Its more than physical attraction
Keeps you coming back for more
Shes a home grown beauty
Shes born and raised with a mind of her own
And once you find her
Youll never want to leave her alone
Shes making you crazy
You cant live without her, shes here to stay
Dont you know that she lives right here in the u.s.a.
Chorus
They dont make em like they used to
Theyre so much better than before
Im so tired of hearing--(Im so tired)
Some people say--(what people say)
Everything is moving much too fast
Things were better in the good old days
Let them have their opinions--(let them have...)
Never gonna change their mind--(theyll never change)
They lived a long time ago
When times were tough
And a real good woman was hard to find
They dont make em like they used to
I think theyre better than before
Its more than physical attraction
That keeps you coming back for more
Chorus
They dont make em like they used to
Theyre so much better than before

Lets Go
Shes driving away with the dim lights on
Shes making a play and she cant go wrong
She never waits too long
Shes winding them down on her clock machine
And she wont give up cause shes seventeen
Shes a frozen fire
Shes my one desire
Chorus
And I dont want to hold her down
Dont want to break her crown
When she says, lets go
I like the nightlife baby
She says, lets go
Shes laughing inside cause they cant refuse
Shes so beautiful now, she doesnt wear her shoes
She doesnt like to choose
Shes got wonderful eyes and a risque mouth
And when I ask her before, she said shes holding out
Shes a frozen fire
Shes my one desire

Dear Mom
Dear mom - I thought I found my sister
Downtown - less than a week ago
I called in - and some guy said I just missed her
She moved on - where do you think shed go?
Dear mom - I know shes only sixteen
Shes tough - but these days you never know
Someone - saw her at the el mocambo
He said - she put on quite a show
What if she wont come home
You know she dont want your money
What if she wont come home
Dear mom - I saw her on the subway
She looks good - she got a new tattoo
She swears - shes gonna call me later
Id say - theres nothing we can do
What if she wont come home
You know she dont want your money
What if she wont come home
Dear mom - I heard from my little sister
Guess what - shes really doing well
She told me - to give you a message for her
Dear mom - why dont you go to hell
Now that she wont come home
Maybe Ill stick around here
Now that she wont come home
Now that she wont come home
Maybe Ill stay forever
Now that she wont come home

Shes Always There
(l. stansfield/i. devaney)
She feels such pain when you say goodbye
Nearly goes insane
When you cant look her in the eye
And its plain to see
That shes being used
But shes always there and she love you
Rest up here a little while
And Ill convince you that you need my time
Dont play games with aching hearts
Shhh not another word
Let me talk
Ive been close Ive been watching you
Watching every little thing you do
Dont you realize youre breaking hearts
Shhh not another word
Chorus:
She feels such pain when you say goodbye
Nearly goes insane
When you cant look her in the eye
And its plain to see
That shes being used
But shes always there and she loves you
And she cries
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
How can you go through life this way
Causing hurt causing pain
Think of your baby and not about yourself
Shhh not another word now
Chorus
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Dont play games with aching hearts
Shhh not another word

Some Kinda Good Kinda Hold On Me
Shes got some kinda good kinda hold on me
Shes some kinda fine sho-nuff sweet
Wrapped up in her love is where I wanna be
Shes got some kinda good kinda hold on me
I cant get enought of my babys huggin and kissin
I never knew a girl who could do what shes doing to me
With just one touch she cast a spell
Im tangled up, I cant help myself
(repeat chorus)
The boys call me up and want to tell me
About the fun Ive been missing
They want to know why I let her keep me under lock and key
But I got what theyre looking for when she gets me behind closed doors

Hard Way
Im moving in
Shes moving out to los angeles
Shes got a truck; shes got my stuff
Packed into it
Just seven months
Was just enough
Of putting up with me
Imagine that
A baseball bat upside her tv
She says she needs some therapy
[chorus:]
You know it seemed so simple before
She could have asked
I would have given her anything
And now its 1, 2, 3
Blame it all on me
And I had to find it out the hard way
She calls me up
Shes breaking down
In los angeles
She misses home
Shes all alone
She cant handle it
But seven months was just enough
Of putting up with her
Youre brand new nose & bigger boobs
Dont change a thing
You need some therapy
I think you need some help
[chorus]
Shes got a lot to figure out
Shes got a lot to think about
Shes got a lot to forget about
Shes got a lot to live without
So many things to miss about me

Invisible Touch
Well Ive been waiting
Waiting here so long
But always thinking nothing could go wrong
But now I know
Shes got a built in ability
To take everything she sees
And now it seems Im falling, falling for her
Chorus:
She seems to have invisible touch yeah
She reaches in and grabs right hold of your heart
She seems to have invisible touch yeah
She reaches in and slowly tears you apart
I dont really know her
I only know her name
But she crawls under your skin
You want her just the same
And now I know
Shes got something mysterious
Its something you just cant trust
And now it seems Im falling, falling for her
Chorus
Chorus
Well she dont like losing
To her its still a game
And she will mess with your mind
You want her just the same
But now I know

God Dont Make Lonely Girls
Senorita
Looks like you aint done nothing good
When it aint supposed to do
Oh no no no no
I seen her downtown
bout an hour ago
Behind the glass at a peep show
I got nervous cause I dont know
Can she see me behind that window?
Its almost nine and Im back in line
I cant get the girl with the spanish tears
Out of my mind
Ive got to make her mine, all mine
But somethin is wrong
She dont belong
She oughta be back where shes from
Maybe back on this mexico city
Man, I dont know her
But she sure is pretty
Chorus:
But God dont make lonely girls
Sure didnt want em in his world
God dont make lonely girls
Yeah, yeah, doo doo doo doo
Now when I make that girl all mine
Im gonna stand by her
Once I get inside of
Her barbed wire
Once I get inside
I bet shed look good in a brand new dress
She never felt good in her fish net
Shes got to be this towns best mess
But it aint nothin that her face would suggest
(chorus)
I gotta make her see
Im a guarantee
Oh, if shed only come along with me
Well I can make her see
Gonna take a walk right through these walls
cause shes comin home with me
I aint even gonna touch her at all
Man, Im only gonna lay awake and watch her sleep

Half-breed
My father married a pure cherokee
My mothers people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The white man always called me indian squaw
Chorus:
Half-breed, thats all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, shes no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When youre not welcome you dont hang around
The other children always laughed at me
Give her a feather, shes a cherokee
Chorus
We werent accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me whos to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
But I cant run away from what I am

Crash
I put my best foot first and it got burnt
Communication always hurts
Ive got myself so deep inside a hole
I taste the air go thin as I get old, as I get old
I dont think so
Chorus:
Shes my hands, shes my hands
Picks me up when I crash down
Build me wings so I can glide
Shes my novocaine ride
Pick up the pieces of my world
Glue thme together, I wish I could
I cant believe it as the picture fades
Just like a tv, but the sound remains
I dont think so, no, I dont think so
Chorus
Feel it as I shake
Shatter illusions fade
Taste my bitter tears
Cut my heart with shears
I dont think so, I dont think so

To a Lady Seen From the Train
O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?
O fat white woman whom nobody loves,
Why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
When the grass is soft as the breast of doves
And shivering sweet to the touch?
O why do you walk through the fields in gloves,
Missing so much and so much?

She Aint Seen Nothing Yet
(anna lisa graham/walt aldridge)
Its been a while since she heard him say
See you tonight his usual way
Theres always some place hes gotta go
Somewhere he needs to be
And its not the same now when they touch
But she figures hes just working too much
Somehow that makes it all okay
And gets her through another day
Shes heard the talk all over town
But she dont wanna believe hes runnin around
Deep down in her heart shes willing to bet
Oh but she aint seen nothin yet
She wouldnt read that heart shaped note
She found in the pocket of his coat
That time in the car she found an earring
You know that doesnt prove a thing
Shes heard the talk all over town
But she dont wanna believe hes runnin around
Deep down in her heart shes willing to bet
Oh but she aint seen nothin yet
Hes not the same man that she met
Oh but she aint seen nothin yet
She thinks its as bad as its gonna get
Oh but she aint seen nothin yet

Factory Girl
So, the factory girl she listens
For the sound of her daddys engine
Till the work bell sounds and she leaves town
Oh, the summers here are hot
All she seems to do is work and sleep
I wish that she was still with you
Chorus:
Now you dont know where she is
Lying in her mothers bed
Or who shes sleeping with.
Oh, the kids will laugh at her
Cause she seems so sweet and pure
Oh, I took this shift because of her.
Oh, Ive never said a word
I once smiled and looked at her
Till the shift-boss said get back to work.

Now you dont know where she is
Or whos bed shes sleepin in

Dont Cross The River
Theres a little girl
Out lying on her own
Shes got a broken heart
Shes not the kind
You take down for long
She knows and
Plays it smart
And if shes coming
Shes shown no more
Shes heard no whistle
Blowing from the door
She feels like leaving and
She dont know why
Without no bridges
Shes trapped
So I sigh
[chorus:]
Dont cross the river
If you cant swim the tide
Dont try denying
Living on the other side
All your life you were
On your own
If you want
You can ride my train
Soon forget the reason
That youre leaving
Lose yourself and
Then sometimes
Maybe even save yourself
Some grieving
[repeat chorus]

Let Her Fly
Theres a wreath on the door
She dont live here no more
As of today, she flew home
And we all gathered here
In sorrow and tears
It wont be the same with her gone
Theres a place on the hill
Thats peaceful and still
Where shell sleep beside daddy again
The ole family tree is shedding its leaves
But well all met in heaven again
Chorus:
Oh, shes an angel
Let her fly, let her fly
Shes gone home to glory
To her home in the sky
When God sees her comin
Heavens choir will smile
And sing, oh shes an angel, let her fly, let her fly
Ooh, shes an angel, let her fly
She used to rock me when I was a child
Sing rock of ages and in the sweet bye and bye
Her life wasnt easy, oh but how hard she tried
You know shes an angel, lord, so let her fly
Repeat chorus

Let her fly
Ooh shes an angel, let her fly
