In Need
Hey, hey, mama; mama, what you tryin to do?
You keep on talkin to me, till your face turns blue.
Well, do you think Im a young boy, yet to make up my mind?
Well, Im just castin all my toys, Im gonna leave whats behind me, behind.
Im gonna leave whats behind me, behind.
I saw an old high school friend, just the other day,
He didnt ask me how Id been, he asked me how was my pay?
Now, do you call this a friendship, judging from what he said?
If you do, Ive a real tip: aint nobody gonna know about my bread.
Aint nobody gonna know about my bread.
If you got somebody, that you can trust to the very end,
I said if you do, I want to be like you, cause you sure got a real good friend.
You sure got a real good friend.
Friend ...
Friend ...

Down In The Flood
Crash on the levee, mama,
Waters gonna overflow,
Swamps gonna rise,
No boats gonna row.
Now, you can train on down
To williams point,
You can bust your feet,
You can rock this joint.
But oh mama, aint you gonna miss your best friend now?
Youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
Now, dont you try an move me,
Youre just gonna lose.
Theres a crash on the levee
And, mama, youve been refused.
Well, its sugar for sugar
And salt for salt,
If you go down in the flood,
Its gonna be your own fault.
Oh mama, aint you gonna miss your best friend now?
Youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.
Well, that high tides risin,
Mama, dont you let me down.
Pack up your suitcase,
Mama, dont you make a sound.
Now, its king for king,
Queen for queen,
Its gonna be the meanest flood
That anybodys seen.
Oh mama, aint you gonna miss your best friend now?
Yes, youre gonna have to find yourself
Another best friend, somehow.

Hit Him
Written by o.s. blandamer
Too much time talking at each other
Seems youve got a different point of view
Lets just relax
Get down to basic facts
Ill tell you just exactly what to do
You want the car, oh yeah
Well every penny in my pocket isnt yours, my friend
Im gonna do what my mama says, she said
Hit him, hit him in the heart
Thats where its gonna hurt
Hit him, hit him in the heart
Dont let him treat you like dirt
I dont wanna sound like in complaining
But whats it got to do with love at all
Its a private deal
Painful and so real
You make me feel like I just want to crawl
Whats yours is yours, oh yeah
If you want to get your bags
Well Ill leave them in the wall
Im gonna do what my mama says, she said
Youve been spreading rumours all about me
But all these things you said are just not true
Sticks and stones
Can break my bones
But boy theyre gonna hurt you too
Ive got my pride, oh yeah
So Ill just take your heart and beat it black and blue
Im gonna do what my mama said, she said . . .

Squarehead
Pop/jones
You can kick me out of a real good jive
You can use my friendship like a doorknob
You can make me super styrofoam
You can make me feel all alone
You can stuff hamburger in my head
But I aint gonna be no squarehead
You can tempt me with a pretty girl
You can call on me in fancy fur
You can say, just do it, everyone is
You can tell me that its just showbiz
You can turn my life from green to red
But I aint gonna be no squarehead
You can burn my bridges down for laughin, ha ha ha ha
You can call me a fool for crashin, woh
You can make me stare down at the floor
You can make me listen while you snore
You can do all these things that I have said
But I aint gonna be no squarehead
Lets go!
You can make my position low as a dog
You can trick me with your social fog
You can criticize my very bag
You can call my treasures a heap of slag
But you might as well eat lunch instead
Cause I aint gonna be no squarehead
I aint gonna be no squarehead
I aint gonna be no squarehead
I aint gonna be no squarehead
No, I aint gonna be no squarehead
No, I aint gonna be no squarehead
No, I aint gonna be no squarehead
No, I aint gonna be no squarehead
I aint gonna be no
I aint gonna be no

You & Your Friend
Will you and your friend come around
Are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna let me down
If you talk to one another
Im a hungry man
Let me know one way or the other
So I can make my plans
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
Will you and your friend come around
Or are you and your friend gonna get on down
I relive the situation
Still see it in my mind
You got my imagination
Working overtime

True Friend <3
A real friend is someone who walks in when everybody else walks out,
A real friend shares all the good times and helps you in the bad,
A real friend knows all about you but loves you anyway,
A real friend is like a star, you dont always see them, but you know they're always there,
A real friend is like a diamond, precious and rare,
A real friend can tell you things you don't want to tell yourself,
A real friend reaches for your hand, but touches your heart
A real friend is like a 4-leaf clover, hard to find and lucky to have,
A real friend thinks you're a good egg even though you're half cracked,
A real friend is very difficult to find, hard to leave and impossible to forget

A Simple Friend
A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why it took you so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens the refrigerator and helps himself.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had fight

Your A Great Friend
I never real knew
What friendship was
Until I met you
You’re my best friend
To be a real friend
You have to trust to be a great friend
It takes more than caring
To be a real friend
I never real knew
What friendship was
Until I met you
You’re my best friend
You are a true friend
That is really kind
And knows how to cheer me up when im down
Your funny pretty
My family like you
I never real knew
What friendship was
Until I met you
You’re my best friend
If I never meet you
I think that today
I don’t think I would of knew what friendship was
I never real knew
What friendship was
Until I met you
You’re my best friend
We like to chill with each other
We like to chill with each other everyday
We like to tell each other everything
That is what best friends do
I never real knew
What friendship was
Until I met you
You’re my best friend

Back Together Again
Leaving aint fair you know
Parting aint just
People got to move on
People got to do what they must
And were back together again
And Im never gonna lose you as a friend
Growing up free
Growing up wild
If you want to know the secret behind the smile
You got to ask a tuesdays child
And were back together again
And Im never gonna lose you as a friend
Well I guess that highway got a hold of me
Thinking crazy thoughts like it was going to set me free
This aint my place you know
This aint my home
And Im not going to feel right
Til you get us back behind the microphones
And were back together again
And Im never gonna lose you as a friend
No Im never gonna lose you as a friend
No Im never gonna lose you as a friend

Whats In It For Me
You want me to be your friend
Stick by you through thick or thin
Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me?
Youd like me to deal you in
Hold your hand right to the end
Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me?
You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This aint for me
This aint for me
You want someone you can trust
You want love , you dont want much
Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me
You want my name on the line
I dont feel that way inclined
Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me?
You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This aint for me
This aint for me.

Love You Like I Did
Tell me whos gonna look at you
And love you for the person you are
Tell me whos gonna understand
That sometimes you can take things too far
Tell me whos gonna be there when
Times are good and when they are bad
Tell me whos gonna love you girl
The way I loved you
Tell me whos gonna be right there
To wipe your tears whenever you cry
Tell me whos gonna talk it out
To make sure everything is alright
Tell me whos gonna call you on the telephone
When youre all alone
Tell me whos gonna love you girl
[chorus:]
Aint nobody gonna do the things I did
Aint nobody gonna kiss the way I kiss
Aint nobody gonna spend the way I spend
Aint nobody gonna love you like I did
Aint nobody gonna be the fool for you
Aint nobody gonna open the doors for you
Aint nobody going through what I went through
Aint nobody gonna love you
Love you like I did...
Anytime you needed a friend
Girl I was right there for you
Anytime you needed love
You could call on me for that too
There is nothing, nothing that I wouldnt do for you
Tell me whos gonna love you girl
The way I loved you
Everything you always wanted
Girl you know I gave it to you
Never had to worry cuz you knew
I would take care of you
And you may find, another man
But cant nobody love you
The way that I loved you
[chorus]
How could you do it?
Baby, how could you (you did me wrong)
Treat me the way you did (you broke my heart)
And how could you leave me?
When you know I did (leave me by myself)
I did everything for you (girl, I did everything for you)
And youll never find another man to love you the way that I did
Girl nobody... nobody...
Will love you just like me...

Hey Kind Friend
Hey kind friend
I dont know when Ill see you again
On a ferry boat bound to victoria
Laying down to hide from the wind
Big dipper hangin over the city
You know everything now is different for me
And it aint no use in
Explainin the scenery
I said
Kind friend
Help me forget where I been
Kind friend
Remember who I am
I was too late in spokane
So I caught a ride through the cascade range
I saw the sun die in olympia
Running down on capital lake
Now I ask you for some relief
Its one true root that you bring to me
Its 3 am
And its good company
I said
Hey kind friend
Help me forget where I been
Hey kind friend
Help me remember who I am
Hey kind friend
Dont know if Im gonna see you again
Its okay friend
Its okay friend
(its so hard when they all have to face going away)
So Ill meet you in new orleans or Ill see you around
Cause I dont know if its worth coming down
Hey Im calling you
From a goldrush town
And I say
Hey kind friend
Help me forget where Ive been
Hey kind friend
Help me remember who I am
Hey kind friend
I dont know if Im gonna see you again
Its ok friend
Im ok friend
I said Im ok friend
Im ok friend

Real Good Man
Girl youve never known no one like me
Up there in your high society
They might tell you Im no good
Girl they need to understand
Just who I am
I may be a real bad boy
But baby Im a real good man
I may drink too much and play too loud
Hang out with a rough and rowdy crowd
That dont mean I dont respect
My mama or my uncle sam
Yes sir, yes maam
I may be a real bad boy
But baby Im a real good man
I might have a reckless streak
At least a country-mile wild
If youre gonna run with me
Its gonna be a wild ride
When it comes to loving you
Ive got velvet hands
Ill show you how a real bad boy
Can be a real good man
I take all the good times I can get
Im too young for growing up just yet
Aint much I can promise you
cept to do the best I can
Ill be damned
I may be a real bad boy
But baby Im a real good man
I may be a real bad boy
Oh but baby Im a real good man
Yes I am

I Only Dance With You
Ohh, ohh
Ohhh
Girl, I remember how it all began
You introduced her as your friend
But I knew I was in trouble when
I saw her smile at me
And then she asked me for a dance
But never offered you a glance
Well let me tell you girl with friends like that
Who needs enemies
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Girl, you say your friend is just flirting by
Its getting so ridiculous
That shes thinking she can mess with us
But I dont play around
Even when shes saying that youre unaware
And its cool with you to share
No I still ait gonna dance with her
Im telling you right now
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Dont try to say I lost the mind
I know your girl has crossed the line (cause I really know that)
She got issues, she trying to diss you
The minute that you turn around
She pulled a switch boo
Cause shes wishing whats yours was hers
So now leave the girl, that aint never gonna work
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Shouldve known girl not to trust a friend
Shouldve known jealous of how we livin
Shouldve known I was shading you
Only dance with you
[chorus:]
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Whos jealous of the way we livin
I dont think you know whats happening
Your girl is shading you
Shouldve known better than to trust a friend
Behind your back she gives me rhythm
But Im bout to make her understand
I only dance with you
Ohh oh ohhh
I only dance with you....
Ohh oh ohhh
I only dance with you....

No more
No more
I aint gonna do it no more
It used to be a big deal
But, I aint gonna do it
If it aint real
Big money
Big plans
You stand with a ticket in your hand
You dont play you cant win
But, I aint gonna do it
til I feel it again
When I see that sun go down
My mind begins to clear
Sure was a hard time
It sure was a hard time my dear
No more

Dad
Dad i hate to tell ya
sometimes i want to slap you in the face
But dad i got to tell you
If you were gone i'd miss you from this place
Don't go away again
I just want to be your friend
And if i dont say this now i'm gonna be sorry
i dont want to make the same mistake again
Dad i need to tell you
sometimes i want to walk right out of the door
Dad i'm gonna tell you
i'm glad that we dont argue like before
Don't go away again
I just want to be your friend
And if i dont say this now i'm gonna be sorry
i dont want to make the same mistake again
Dad I need to tell you
Sometimes its hard to tell you how i feel
And Dad i'm gonna tell you
I wish that all our differences weren't real
Don't go away again
I just want to be your friend
And if i dont say this now i'm gonna be sorry
i dont want to make the same mistake again
I see the older that i get
I'm becoming you
Dad i want to tell you
I just want to take away your pain

A Real Good Place To Start
Still reelin from a relationship that left me torn in two
Tryin to find that first step that leads to someone new
Gettin me back together, didnt know it could be so hard
But if Im ever gonna mend this broken heart...
You look like a real good place to start
I need a new beginning, and girl you fit right in
Sometimes a new beginning is found in an old friend
If Im ever gonna mend this broken heart...
You look like a real good place to start
Thereve been times when you and him just couldnt get along
Id hear your knock and let you in, be your shoulder to cry on
And now hes finally left you, and Ive find you in my arms
If Im ever gonna mend this broken heart...
You look like a real good place to start
I need a new beginning, and girl you fit right in
Sometimes a new beginning is found in an old friend
If Im ever gonna mend this broken heart...
You look like a real good place to start
If Im ever gonna mend this broken heart...
You look like a real good place to start

A Deed Of A Friend....
A friend in need is a friend in deed, it is said;
A friend capable of helping by deed is needed.
There are many lip service friends everywhere;
Sans requesting and talk a friend should know
What another friend needs to be done in work!
“If you do this I will do that” is not nice of a friend;
This is done in business friendship but not in life.
This kind of business attitude is not long to follow;
That kind of friendship is not for long to continue.
Friend means one should be ready for anything!
A real friend does everything out of love for another;
That kind of friend is the need of a good friend here.
That friend does all for his friend to come up soon
And there lies real friendship lasting forever anywhere!

Im Your Man
Call me good
Call me bad
Call me anything you want to baby
But I know that youre sad
And I know Ill make you happy
With the one thing that you never had
Baby, Im your man (dont you know that? )
Baby, Im your man
You bet!
If youre gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
So good...
Youre divine
Wanna take you, wanna make you
But they tell me its a crime!
Everybody knows where the good people go
But where were going baby
Aint no such word as no!
Baby, Im your man (dont you know who I am? )
Baby, Im your man
You bet!
If youre gonna do it, do it right - right?

Come on baby, (ooh, take me home
Please dont leave me here, to do it on my own...)
First class information
Ill be your sexual inspiration
And with some stimulation
We can do it right...
So why waste time
With the other guys?
When you can have mine
I aint askin for no sacrifice
Baby your friends do not need to know!
Ive got a real nice place to go
Listen,
I dont need you to care
I dont need you to understand
All I want is for you to be there
And when Im turned on
If you want me-
Im your man!
If youre gonna do it, do it right - right?
Do it with me
Now listen
If youre gonna do it - you know what I say?
If youre gonna do it dont throw it away
Dont throw it baby
Because
Ill be your boy, Ill be your man
Ill be the one who understands
Ill be your first, Ill be your last
Ill be the only one you ask
Ill be your friend, Ill be your toy
Ill be the one who brings you joy
Ill be your hope, Ill be your pearl
Ill take you halfway round the world!
Ill make you rich - Ill make you poor
Just dont use the door
Do it with me...
