Russian Roulette
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Back street dive down in new orleans
Gambler shows his face
The place was full of jacks and queens
But I never came up with that bread-winning ace
Whiskys cheap at twice the price
When it kills the pain of bad tumbling dice
The scenes all set for an iou
Give it one more spin then thats me Im through
The wheels like a chamber in russian roulette
Im takin a chance and Im gunnin for red
The wheels like a chamber in russian roulette
Im takin a chance and Im gunnin for red
Lost my shirt headed for the bar
Gonna drown my sorrows in a whisky jar
Head hung low because I got beat
I see a hundred dollar bill layin at my feet
Chorus
Headed for the tables Im wearin my shades
Got to find me a lucky green top,
Cant be one Ive played
My hands are shakin dont wanna lose my cool
Should I keep the big c or gamble like a fool?
Chorus

Russian Roulette
Take it or leave it Ive heard it been said
All this spring fevers just way over my head
Stealing my moments, taking up all my time
Its playing russian roulette with my mind
Its none of my business baby just whats going on
Im not going to wait till somebody throw me a bone
Im way out on a limb now, and nothing seems to rhyme
Its playing russian roulette with my mind
I think that youve caught on, that youve been used and all
Im going down new orleans, Ive got to see dr. john
Got my mojo working everything will be fine
Stop playing russian roulette with my mind
Its not easy baby when everything starts getting out of control
Hang on your hat now, hang on to your soul
Dont worry baby, I wanna throw you the line
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind
Too many hustlers, Ive been here before
None of them really know just who that you are
Everything gets contracted and space gets confined
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette
Theyre playing russian roulette with your mind

Roulette (FT Jide Bj Akindola)
Russian roulette rolling of dice
rushing men fails to think twice
Russian roulette rolling of dice
these are the chances of life
Looking in the barrel of a gun
The life of a wanderer
Russian roulette rolling of a die
Never a need to think twice
Find your fortunes in my losses
wonder for the purpose of your own
Russian roulette rolling of dice
you play your cards while I play mine
In my teachings these lessons stay in line
Know your limits and your state of mind
Russian roulette rolling of dice
Think twice before you walk in blind

Roulette
We left the toys out in the yard
I took my wife and kids and left my home unguarded
We packed what we could into the car
No one here knows how it started
But suddenly everything was just so out of control
Now I want some answers, mister, I need to know
I hear all the talk but I dont know what youre sayin
But I think I got a good idea of the game that youre playin
Roulette, thats the name now
Roulette, thats the game now
Roulette, I dont believe what theyre sayin
Roulette, and everybodys playin
I grew up here on this street where nothin moves, just a strange breeze
In a town full of worthless memories theres a shadow in my backyard
Ive got a house full of things that I cant touch
Well all those things they wont do me much good now
I was a fireman out at rikers, I did my job
Mister, Ive been cheated, I feel like Ive been robbed
Im the big expendable, my lifes just canceled, null and void
But what are you gonna do about your new boy
Roulette, youre playin with my life
Roulette, with my kids and my wife
Roulette, every day the stakes get bigger
Roulette, a different finger on the trigger
Down by the river that talks the night speaks in searchlights
And shortwave radio squawk, the police patrol the streets
But Ive left behind the man I used to be, everything he believed in and all that belonged to me
I tried to find my way out to somewhere where I thought itd be safe
They stopped me at the roadblock they put up on the interstate
They put me in detention but I broke loose and then I ran
They said they want to ask me a few questions but I think they had other plans
Now I dont know who to trust and I dont know what I can believe
They say they want to help me but with the stuff they keep on sayin
I think those guys just wanna keep on playin
Roulette, with my life
Roulette, with my kids and my wife
Roulette, the bullets in the chamber
Roulette, whos the unlucky stranger
Roulette, surprise, youre dead
Roulette, the guns to your head
Roulette, the bullets spinning in the chamber
Roulette, pull the trigger, feel the click
No further danger

Russian Roulette
Hey boy pushin on your girlfriend
Trying to show her all the pain you feel inside
Yeah and head all scrambled and the love is gone
And you dont know what went wrong
But I think I heard you hissing something about blue steel
But when you talk about something like gun play
Let me tell you its a losing bet
But when the hammer falls all bets are called
And five to one youre gonna lose
When you talk about something like russian roulette
Tears run down your sweet loves face
I say shes a mirror of your insides
And you cant scream loud enough to let it go
And you mouthful of pride you just cant swallow
Rips your soul like a hurricane tide
But when you talk about something like gun play
Let me tell you its a losing bet
But when the hammer falls all bets are called
And five to one youre gonna lose
When you talk about something like russian roulette
Pack up your ego and your tantrum
Put it back with your anger and your pride
Beating up on your girlfriend
Aint gonna change anything inside
But when you talk about something like gun play
Let me tell you its a losing bet
But when the hammer falls all bets are called
And five to one youre gonna lose
When you talk about something like russian roulette

Sweet narida backstreeta, no one can beat her at her own game
Joe minnesota owed her, didnt pay, ended up on a different plane
So dont mess around with sweet narida
cos you know no ones gonna beat her

Sweet narida backstreeta, queen of the avenue girls
Climbed the ladder of success doing

Walking down the street in her hoochie-koochie sway
All heads turn, eyes seeing, cant believe it
Knowing what the guys would like to say
But no chance

Hard-headed woman, business-minded, very strong
Self-administrator, didnt take her very long
And I cant blame her turning out the way she did
I cant blame her turning out the way she did

Listening to the whys and wherefores, shepherdess to her flock
So dont mess around with sweet narida

Again again again again
You want me back so bad
And its a day of shame and you

Dontcha Want Me Now?
Verse1:
Im evasive Im cool and Im nobodys fool
And Im layin it on the line
You looked a mess
Cause my little black dress
Stopped you on a dime
Dont even try it your ticket has expired
And Im just too tired to dance
Even if you want me
Youre not gonna get me
Cause baby you had your chance
Chorus:
Dont you want me now
Now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Verse2:
Its not really me its somebody else
But Im lovin her just the same
The look on your face
When I walked in this place
Will remain forever on my brain
Cause the jokes on you
And its long overdue
Tell me can you take the heat
Wanting to hassle the king in his castle
Revenge never tasted so sweet
Chorus
Bridge:
Who cares who wins cause just the same
Im not into baby games
Yet you once swept me off my feet
Now look whos in the drivers seat
Chorus:
Now, now that Im trying not to try so hard
Dont you want me now
Dont you wonder how
You couldve pushed this naive girl
To go so lowdown
The tables are turned somehow
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me now
Dont you want me baby
Dont you want me now
Dont you
Dont you want me now
Oh, yeah

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

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

Dont Stop
Remember when somebody
Tried to tell you how to walk
And now they got the balls
To tell us how we should talk
Oh no, glove love aint cool
I must agree
So get outta my face
You aint got nothing on me
Some say they do
Some say they dont
I take it in stride
And I can never get enough
If I dont got to swallow my pride
I heard it all before and then
She told me gimme some slack
Then she smiled at me and gave me
The shirt right off her back
And thats when I took advantage of the situation
(chorus)
Dont stop
Rockin your socks off
Dont stop
Knockin their blocks off
Dont stop
Gettin your rocks off
Dont stop
Takin a hit, boy
Dont stop
Shakin your fist, boy
Dont stop
I aint got much to lose
Im feelin so confused
Theres such a small thin line
Between pleasure and pain
And when you say dont
Then its dont stop
I got to complain
Yeah, I think I may be getting
Real tired of all the steam
Because its hard to get the way
You move out of my dreams
Got to get it while you can
Whenever youre in doubt
You got to whip it out
When you keep hearin no
And your body says yes
But you cant hear a word
Thats been said
But you gotta confess
Looking up her address
Got you thinkin with your other head

What Am I Gonna Do
(clarke / sylvester / hicks)
Another day has passed away
Another day without you
Here comes another lonely night
One more broken promise gone
One more teardrop from your eye
I suppose that Ill survive
What am I gonna do
What am I gonna do
To find the words its hard to say
You dont wanna hold him
Or leave him all alone
Youve been together for so long
Now the feelings gone
You cant see whats right or wrong
Chorus
I know its hard to tell him
You wanna go
It shouldnt take this long
To let him know
I know I feel its gonna be my time
Theres still the question
When will you be mine

Just Wanna Love You
Written: stock aitken waterman
1a:

If weve got a good thing going
Better not believe in true love

Theres nothing fatal in attraction
Im just looking for some action
Better not go chasing rainbows
Thats what people say

Every time I see your face
Emotion takes control of me
It turns me round and puts me in a spin
Oh cant you see

I just wanna love you
I wanna be the one
Whos holding you tonight
I just wanna love you
Every minute of the hour
Every morning, noon and night

Theres gotta be a way to show you
Id really like to get to know you
I could make you happy
If youd take a chance on me
Dont wanna talk about forever

Dont think about tomorrow
Take a change on me
You know it makes me so excited
Every time I think of you
It turns me round and puts me in a spin
Oh cant you see

Big Sister
Sheep to the slaughter
Oh, this must be love
All your sons and daughters in a strangle, all with a kid glove
Eyes like saucers; oh, you think shes a dish
She is the blue chip that belongs to the big fish
Big sister will be watching over you
Sister see, sister do
Shes got to save me
Shes got you playing russian roulette
Sport of kings, the old queens heart
The prince of darkness stole some tart
Its in the papers, its in the charts
Its in the stop press before it all starts
With a hammer and a slap n tickle in inquisitive garments
With all the style and [? ] purchase of armaments
Compassion went out of fashion, thats all your concernment
Sweat it out for thirty seconds on all the prudeness
Big sister will be watching over you
Sister see, sister do
Shes got to save me
Shes got you playing russian roulette
Shes got to save me
Shes got you playing russian roulette

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??

...Deja' Voodoo woman......deja' voodoo woman........

Headin out to the picture show
Sweet innocence not yet 18
Daddy dont mind what daddy dont see
Heavy chevy soft top down
One arm driver, the other arm around
Switched on hi fi rocknroll
Gunnin the engine heading for the open road
Given strict instructions
Not to fall for no seductions
Daddy dont mind what daddy dont see
Joe had no such orders
Gonna try and cross the border
Daddy dont mind what daddy dont see
Sass makes the move she straightens her seams
Joe checks in the mirror he thinks hes james dean
He pulls on over says hes got a flat
Sass is no fool she knows where hes at

Shes had love and shes had kissin
Knows what shes been missin
No turnin back for little sass e frass
Will they be standin side by side
If their love they cannot hide?

Picked up the phone called theres no one at home
You said youd be there for my call
Did I do right by staying home tonight
All I know is Im so alone
You made a date said you wouldnt be late

I didnt really know ya you said "i wanna show ya"
And I believed that look in your eyes
Well you gotta give me life

You gotta give me life
With that look in your eyes

Went out on the street just a chance we might meet

Ace Of Hearts
(lonnie wilson,ron moore,carson chamberlain)
Loves a gamble every heart will take
You roll the dice in hopes that it wont break
One night I bet on your blue eyes and took a chance
And won a whole lot more than one night of romance
I won the ace of hearts,that night in the dark
How lucky can one man be
I hold the winning hand any way life deals the cards
No way to lose, cause Ive got you my ace of hearts
Loves a numbered wheel you have to spin
Theres no need for me to spin again
Cause loving you is paying off more than I knew
I took a little risk and hit it big with you

Kentucky Gambler
He wanted more from like
Than four kids and a wife
And a job in the dark kentucky mines
A twenty-acre farm
With a shacky house and barn
Thats all he had
And all he left behind
At gambling he was lucky
So he left kentucky
Left behind his woman and his kids
Into the gay casino
In nevadas town of reno
Kentucky gambler planned to get rich quick
Kentucky gambler, whos gonna love your woman in kentucky
Whos gonna be the one to give her what she needs
Kentucky gambler, whos gonna raise your children in kentucky
Whos gonna keep them fed and keep shoes on their feet
At the gamblers paradise
Lady luck was on his side
Kentucky gambler played his cards just right
He won at everything he played
Kentucky gambler had it made
And he should have quit and gone on home that night
But when you love the greenback dollar
Sorrows always bound to follow
Reno dreams fade into neon amber
And lady luck, shell leave you on
Shell saty awhile, and then shes gone
Youd better go on home kentucky gambler
But a gambler never seems to stop
Til he loses all hes got
And so, kentucky gambler, he played on
He played til he lost all he won
He was right back where he started from
Then he started wanting to go home
Kentucky gambler, there aint nobody waiting in kentucky
When you walked out, somebody else walked in
Kentucky gambler, looks like you aint really very lucky
Seems to me a gambler looses much more than he wins
So you think about it
