The Gypsy

Step inside my tent, said she, Id like to read you palm
Leave the dollar in the jar, this wont take very long
Leave the circus noise behind, close your eyes, relax your mind
Ill tell you if you should quit now or if you should go on
Then I said, now what do ya see
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
Wherell I go, whatll I be
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
She threw some sawdust in the air and her hands began to shake
She told me the town where I was born, she almost knew the date
She lit a candle with her eyes and then she made the table rise
She took the dollar from the jar and then she guessed my weight
Then I said, now what do ya see
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
Then she spoke most quietly
Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
When you we a child at school they taught you quite a lot
You were told when you should speak and when you should not
You were taught to read and write, to take your lessons home at night
A little knowledge serves you well but the golden rule does not
Then I said, now what do ya mean
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
Wherell I go, whatll I be
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
Then when I came home that night to lie in bed awake
I thought of that old gypsy and the words that she had said
And now I see with due respect, the more we learn the worse we get
So if you feel youve no regrets, go have your fortune read
Then I said, now what do ya mean
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
Wherell I go, whatll I be
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
Wherell I go, whatll I be
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee
You are so old, you are so wise
Deedlee-dum, deedlee-dy
Give me a sign, tell it to me
She said, deedlee-dum, deedlee-dee

Whatll I Do

Whatll I do, when you are far away
And Im so blue whatll I do
Whatll I do when I am wondering
Who is kissing you
Whatll I do
Whatll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to
When I am alone
With all the dreams of you
That wont come true
What will I do

And I am blue whatll I do

Whatll I Do

Gone is the romance that was so divine.
tis broken and cannot be mended.
You must go your way,
And I must go mine.
But now that our love dreams have ended...

And I am blue
Whatll I do?

When I am wondring who

Whatll You Do About Me

All you wanted was a one night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and ruined all of your plans
So whatll you do about me?
Imagine the faces on your high class friends
When I beat on the door and I beg to come in
Screaming come on, love me again
Whatll you do about me?
You can change your number,
You can change your name
You can ride like hell on a midnight train
Thats all right mama thats ok
Whatll you do about me
Picture your neighbors when you try to explain
That good old boy standing out in the rain
With his nose on the windowpane
Lady, whatll you do about me?
And what in the world are you planning to do
When a man comes over just to visit with you
And Im on the porch with a 2 by 2
Tell me whatll you do about me
You can call your lawyer
You can call the fuzz
You can sound the alarm, wake the neighbors up
There aint no way to stop a man in love
Whatll you do about me
All you wanted was a one night stand
The fire of the wine and the touch of a man
But I fell in love and baby here I am
Whatll you do about me?
You can change your number, you can change your name
You can ride like hell on a midnight train
Thats all right mama thats ok
But whatll you do about
Whatll you do about me
Whatll you do about me

Gotta Be Love

(john duarte/mark paul)
I wonder what youre doing tonight
I wonder if youre thinking of me
You cant imagine what Im feeling inside
I want to see you but I cant break free
How did I ever let it get this far?
I only wanted you to be my friend
But now its turning into so much more
Its something special, I dont want it to end
I want to be with you
All the time
You know I need you
Lying alone with my heart on the line
I cant get you out of my mind
Its gotta be love
I feel for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love
I know you must be out with someone else
I called and let it ring a hundred times
Look in the mirror, I dont see myself
I just see someone I need tonight
Maybe Im crazy to want only you
When theres so many others that I know
Who can be everything and love me, too
But in my heart, they just dont come close
Last night you held me
We stood at my door
And then you kissed me
Now tears break like glass as they fall to the floor
Ive never felt this way before
Its gotta be love
I feel for you
Its gotta be love
What will I do?
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love (its gotta be love, it has to be you)
Im feeling for you
Its gotta be love (gotta be love)
Whatll I do?
Its gotta be love (its gotta be love the matter with me)
Im feeling inside
Its gotta be love (gotta be love)
Whatll I do?

Buying Her Roses

(joe doyle, rick peoples)
I took him for granted
Now looking back at it
Hes not the only one to blame
Between the jobs and the kids
Wasnt much time for him
We let the fire slip away from the flame
Guess I shouldnt be surprised
But as hard as I try
I cant believe its happened to me
But I know where hes at
And I know its a fact
Id have to be blind not to see
Chorus:
Hes out buying her roses
And where that leaves me God only knows
I know I should tell him
To leave me forever
But whatll I do if he goes
Should I put up a fight
Does it matter whos right
Should I ruin my life or my pride
Can we save what we had
And if he comes back
Will I ever get it out of my mind
Repeat chorus twice
Whatll I do if he goes
Whatll I do if he goes

Once In A While

I think of this - most every night
How hard it is to get it alright
Im lookin here and Im lookin there
I see heart broken pieces everywhere
Wouldnt you try wouldnt you know
Try so hard still you let it all go
Too much trouble too much pain
I think Im gonna have that luck again
Whatll I do if you walk away
Whatll I do if you walk away
Well I havent a chance
No I havent a chance
Once in a while I get this feelin
Now and again Im all in a daze
Time after time I ask myself this
Will you walk away?
Once in a while I get this feelin
Seems all day and night time too
I dont belong Im just passin through
I guess youre right I think too much
Still in all - I miss your touch
A crazy notion a careless thought
I start to worry and time gets short
Well think of this my dear young one
The time to act has just begun
Whatll I do if you walk away
Whatll I do if you walk away
Well I havent a chance
No I havent a chance

Howm I Ever Gonna Say Goodbye

Ive been thinkin writin you a letter
Maybe telegram would be better
Ill be worried how its gonna get there
So I go and change my mind
Need a little time to chew it over
But every day I grow a little older
Got de devil sittin on me shoulder
Gonna make me change my mind
Got me drinkin even got me smokin
Got me sinkin nearly got me chokin
Whatll you do in the morning
Whatll you do in the morning
When Im gone
Thought Id better have me a vacation
Got my ticket made my reservation
Want my name address and occupation
So I go and change my mind
Howm I ever gonna say goodbye
Howm I ever gonna go to sleep at night
Howm I ever gonna close my eyes
Howm I ever gonna sleep alone at night

Strangers Touch

(john farrar/steve kipner)
Ive been doing some soul searching
Feel guilty as a girl can feel
Ive got no business smiling, beguiling
Im caught up in a triangle
No future in this shape Im in
So what do I find so appealing in stealing
Tell me
How come a strangers touch can thrill me so much
My hearts in jeopardy
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
I wasnt lookin around
You know Im happy with you
Youre a part of me that I cant replace
But he touched my heart in a new place
He found a space
Tell me
How come a strangers touch can thrill me so much
My hearts in jeopardy
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
Cant keep on hurtin, hurtin you
Tell me
How come a strangers touch can thrill me so much
My hearts in jeopardy
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
Hes overpowering me
Oh whatll I do
Cant keep on, cant keep on, cant keep hurting you
Cant keep on, cant keep on, cant keep hurting you

Gunface

Gonna go downtown
Gonna get my gun
Gonna dress real sharp
Gonna beat my drum
I ain't gonna lie

Gonna walk so slow
Gonna talk just right
And my diamond ring
Gonna shine so bright
I ain't gonna lie

I've got a debt to repay
I ain't gonna cry
I put a gun in your face
You'll pay with your life

And I got my ears
And I got my eyes
And I got my narks
And my alibis
I won't waste your time

You made one false move
You made one mistake
When the juice is squeezed
That's the way it breaks
You'll pay for your crime

Your tongue lickin' way out of place
I'll rip it out
I'll stick a gun in your face
You'll pay with your life

I taught her everything I taught her how to dream
I taught her everything
I'm gonna teach her how to scream
I taught her all she knows
I taught her how to lie
I taught her everything
I'm gonna teach her how to cry

And you cause me hurt
And you cause me pain
And you turned the tap
On my burning rage
And I can't put it out

Gonna leave no sign
Gonna leave no trace
Gonna leave this town
In a state of grace
Give me the power

I got a debt to repay
I ain't gonna lie
I put a gun in your face
You'll pay for the crime

I taught her everything
I taught her how to speak
I taught her all she knows
I taught her how to eat
I half invented her
And now she acts so chic
I taught her everything
But now she's obselete

I taught her everything
How to read and write
I taught her all she knows
She was a neophyte
I taught her everything
I loved to watch her grow
I taught her everything
And now I want to see her go

I taught her everything
I got a debt to repay
I ain't gonna cry
I'll put a gun in your face
You're playing with your life

I taught her everything
I taught her how to cheat
I taught her all she knows
She was so indiscreet
I taught her everything
I taught her how to lie
I taught her everything
I'm gonna teach her how to cry

All By Myself

Im so unhappy
Whatll I do?
I long for somebody who
Will sympathize with me
Im growing so tired of living alone
I lie awake all night and cry
Nobody loves me
Thats why
All by myself in the morning
All by myself in the night
I sit alone with a table and a chair
So unhappy there
Playing solitaire
All by myself I get lonely
Watching the clock on the shelf
Id love to rest my weary head on somebodys shoulder
I hate to grow older
All by myself

Gypsy

Watching the universe at the end of another day
Fatalistic ships froma distant shore
In the back of my mind I could see she was standing there
Like the feeling you have
When youve been there before
She was a gypsy woman
She was as cold as the day
She said Id got it coming
And then she took me away
She took me through the shadows of her sunken dream
I thought its over me,she wasnt all she seemed
She took my hand and then she started to speak
She told me shed had the call
With eyes of fire that were burning my soul
She looked into her crystal ball
She read my fortune then she read my mind
She didnt like my thoughts at all
She showed me shadows,a spectre of life
My soul just wanted to scream
She stared so deeply into my eyes
Thats when I fell into a dream
When I awoke in bed she lay beside me
And she read me with her eyes,she said
So you wanna be a gypsy,come on now
Gypsy woman youre the devil in drag
You are the queen of all hell
You took my body,now youre wasting my soul
Youve got me under your spell
And as the sun shines on another day
Youre gonna take my mind as well,its over
So you wanna be a gypsy,come on now.

Mind Sign

You give me that...
Mind sign.
With a flirtiness that attacks.
Like a magnet that attracts.

You give me that...
Mind sign.
To mainfest a lust,
You envision done with us.

You give me that...
Mind sign.
And my defense is weak.
Making my knees wobble,
To please your need!

Like a thief you put your hooks in me.
To take my heart so quick and easy.

And you hypnotized me on the spot.
To make me babble like an idiot...
And I'm not!

But I'm liking it a lot!

You give me that...
Mind sign.
With a flirtiness that attacks.
Like a magnet that attracts.

You give me that...
Mind sign.
To mainfest a lust,
You envision done with us.

And-you've-got-me-waiting-with-an-anti cipating-must!
And oh-oh...
Yes you've-got-me-waiting-with-an-anticipating-must!

Ooooohhh,
You give me that...
Mind sign.
You give me that...
Mind sign.
You give me that...
Mind sign.
You give me that...

That Christmas Night

when three wise men came all to town
to a new born king they offered crown
the manger was the star they sight
and they followed well till there
thus it was that christmas night

sabina thought us some xmas song
ode and co all sang it so wrong
just a few we knew did it right
all we then knew was fun to have
thus it was that christmas night

santa came to zodiac stayed for long
that even Dan too had to come along
babies to their mothers held on tight
so the end of it was gift to home
thus it was that christmas night

we three kings the carols read
as it lingers on children feeds
a wine gulp and a chicken bite
was all it was for grownups then
thus it was that christmas night

mummy's choice again was wise
as i wore those shoes as twice
and those jeans without a fight
the best she had the best she gave
thus it was that christmas night

Bible Verse

I asked the child why did she curse
Her answer was, she knew not a Bible verse
She never went to church or knew how to say a prayer
So all that she knew, was how to curse and swear,
I was told that her mother had taught her well
But never taught her about heaven or even hell
And all that she knew is from what she had read
While listening to the words that her mother had said.

I asked the child why did she lie
Her response to me, it is better than to cry
As things got bad and then they turned worse
That's all that she knew, and she knew not a Bible verse,
Her mother had told her the things not to do
But then they differed from other's points of view
And all the child knew was from what she had seen
As she watched her mother, which was unforeseen.

I asked the child why did she steal
Taking from others for a terrible ordeal
She answered me, as she placed the goods in her purse
'It is the way that I am', and I know not of a Bible verse
Someday soon I will probably smoke and drink
Spoke the child to me as she began to think
But then am I not the girl that my mother did raise
And every day to my mother, I give her praise.

I asked the child why did she fight
She then said to me, it's better than being polite
Her mother's honor again she had to defend
And fighting is all that she could comprehend
So the child then wiped the pain off of her face
As she slowly walked away in sadness and disgrace
The last thing she said to me as we did converse
She said, I truly wish that I knew a Bible verse.

Germs

Sometimes I really want to be alone
But thats one state Im never in
Because I know that Ive got millions upon millions
Of tiny, one-celled organisms living on my skin
(germs) I rub and scrub until my flesh is raw and bleeding
(germs) but they just come right back
(germs) I cant even see em, but I know theyre up to something
Hey, dont touch that - you dont know where its been
Theyre all over me
Theyre inside of me
Cant get em offa me
Im covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
Whatll they do to me
Theres no escape for me
Im crawling with ... microscopic bacteria
Now if I ever dare to go to sleep
Thats when they start their sneak attack
In the morning I wake up in utter horror
To find my teeth are covered with bacterial plaque
(germs) cant get those parasitic creatures off my face
(germs) and theres more comin every day
(germs) I never said that they could camp out on my body
I wish theyd pack their tiny little bags and move away
Theyre all over me
Theyre inside of me
Cant get em offa me
Im covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
Whatll they do to me
Theres no escape for me
Im crawling with ... microscopic bacteria
Theyre creepin around my shorts
Theyre under the bathroom sink
Theyre ridin inside my car
Theyre swimmin in my drink
Theyre hidin between my toes
Theyre lurkin in every kiss
I got em way up my nose
In every orafice
Im gonna show them whos boss
Im gonna get even yet
Just gimme some lysol spray
Just hand me a moist towelette
Dont tell me Im paranoid
I know that theyre after me
Look under the microscope
See? ?
Theyre all over me
Theyre inside of me
Cant get em offa me
Im covered with ... microscopic bacteria
What do they want from me
Whatll they do to me
Theres no escape for me
Im crawling with ... microscopic bacteria
Theyre all over me
I can feel em all over me
Over every part of me
Microscopic bacteria
I know theyre watching me
Theyre always watching me
Theyre coming after me
Microscopic bacteria
Wont somebody help me
Please somebody help me
Youve got to believe me
Theyre out to get me
They wanna control me
They wanna destroy me
Theyre tryin to kill me
It kind of upsets me

Mom

You held me in your arms for the first time,
Warm tears were rolling down on your white cheeks,
And for the first time, I felt the love's delight,
I understood that this is how love speaks.

Drops of happiness betrayed your infinite excitement,
Our two hearts as one then began to beat,
entering in a new stage of love's enlightenment,
Your smile was angelic, and your breath so sweet.

So many sick days you watched over me,
Whispering with love, “You’ll be fine!”
So many late nights spent on your knee,
You taught me love's reason to shine.

You were there with me when I took the first step,
You taught me when to move and when to stand still,
When to leave my worries on the doorstep,
You have inspired me with your power and your will.

You gave me comfort in pain and sorrow,
You were always by my side,
You taught me what's tomorrow,
You taught me how to read and how to write.

You walked with me on my first day of school,
The first book that we read together, it’s now long past,
You taught me that to be myself is cool,
To live each day as the first one or maybe as the last.

With love and tender, you corrected all of my mistakes,
I still remember how you told me; You are the best!
No matter how much hurts or what it takes,
You always have to live the truth and stand the test.

You taught me to say what I think and what I feel,
Without any fear, always watching the sky,
To dream but also to know what is real,
To be powerful when I'm down and modest when I'm up high.

You taught me to comfort others with my love,
And to spread the Light, all around me,
You told me that I am a child of God's above,
You taught me to believe in Eternity!

So many precious things you planted in my heart,
You gave me life and taught me how to live it too,
You're up in Heaven, but we'll never be apart,
Today, tomorrow, always Mother, I Love You.
