Theres a party down on the corner, do you want to go?
They got rhythm, a little blues, and a whole lot of soul
I dont care what youve got to say
Youre comin with me anyway
Were not here for a long time
Were here for a good time
I know its hard makin a living every day
And I know how hard youve been workin
But now its time to play
Tell that wolf waitin at your door
Hell just have to wait some more
Were not here for a long time
Were here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
It might just come to pass
Aint no use in pretending
Tonight could be the last
Tell the mailman to hold the mail
Get ready to wag your tail
Were not here for a long time
Were here for a good time
Some say the world is ending
Who knows if its true?
Aint no use in pretending
Theres not much we can do
Leave a message for those who call
Were out havin us a ball
Were not here for a long time
Were here for a good time

I'm Not In Love Yet
Chris hayes/huey lewis
Kinda blue music/huey lewis music. all rights administered by hulex music, ascap.
It hasn't been long - but it hasn't been bad
And you may be the very best thing -- i've ever had
But you want to know -- 'cause you're making plans
Well i'll make you a promise i'll keep
I'll do the best that i can
I'm not in love yet, but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it
There you go again - tryin' to pin me down
Isn't it enough for me to say - i love having you around
Why do we always have to talk about the way that we feel
Baby, all the conversation in the world
Won't make it more real
I'm not in love yet, but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it
I hear you say - you need some kind of proof
Well it may not be what you want to her
But i'm telling you the truth
Why do we always have to wonder what the future will bring
Baby all i know is how i feel now
But time can change everything
I'm not in love yet, but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it
It might take some time
It ain't easy to do if it's gonna be true
I'm not in love yet, oh but i'm workin' on it

Plan B
Johnny colla/huey lewis
Cause and effect music/huey lewis music. all rights administered by hulex music, ascap
Wasnt forever the word you used?
Always together, you said we cant lose
Picture of a minister, bells and lace
And all of the relatives in one place
And then right in the middle of the party
You want to change your mind
Well its time for me to wake up to reality
Plan b
I should have known better, a girl so fine
They tell me it happens all the time
Nothing but trouble tip to toe
And tons of attention everywhere you go
Well, youre the kind of girl that
Makes a little dog break a big chain
Theres only one option thats left for me
Plan b
I guess it was too good to b true
All that devotion and attitude
But you found somebody you had missed
And that was the one thing that you cant resist
So you tell me that you love me
Then you kick me out in the street
Well, its time for me to face up to reality
Plan b

I Never Think About You
Chris hayes/john pierce/huey lewis
Kinda blue music/bob-a-lew songs/ huey lewis music, ascap
When I wake up in the morning -- same old time
Believe it or not baby, youre the last thing on my mind
I dont miss the conversation -- there was nothin left to say
Staring at the ceiling, you just cant live your life that way
Now Im living by myself without a care in the world
I never think about you
And Im happy as Ive ever been -- well, I pretend I am
I never think about you
I dont remember -- you know I dont care
I dont even remember the color of your hair
I used to think I loved you - it was just a fantasy
I quit pretending that you mean anything to me
I dont remember how many times Ive cried
Looking for reasons that we said goodbye

Cause and effect music/huey lewis music. all rights administered by hulex music, ascap.
I love my wife - I love my honey
I gave them both everything I had
Like lots of love - and lots of money
Can a little devotion be too much to ask?
I should have seen it coming
Man, you know its always something
Id give a month of sundays to se her again
Believe me when I tell you
I know its hard - its never easy
Its like an illness in the family
So Im takin the news the best that I can
My other womans got another man
I was the man - rich and good-lookin
Ask anybody in the neighborhood
Then she cut out - now nothins cookin
All of a sudden I dont look so good
I went to have my head examined
Doctor, what you got for depression?
He pulled me aside and said
Son, you better get you another other woman
I now its hard - no it aint easy
You got a problem in your family
So Im carrying on the best that I can
My other womans got another man
Now every day I feel like cryin
Its like a part of us has gone away
But Ill be strong - pick up the pieces
Ill find the strength to face another day
Yes, Im carrying on the best that I can
My other womans got another man

The Rhythm Ranch

We know a place with a real big beat
A destination soul retreat
A musical cure for your day-to-day stress
Its a dream vacation way out west
Yeah, its a soulful scene if you know what I mean
Come on down, take a chance
Get you a room at the rhythm ranch
Ride your pony, lets dance
Uh-huh, baby, thats the rhythm ranch
They got killer music everywhere
To help you deal with the pain out there
I think youll see that its money well spent
More than a hundred grooves for rent
And they got all the blues and views you can use
Come on down, take a chance
Get you a room at the rhythm ranch
Ride your pony, lets dance
Uh-huh, baby, thats the rhythm ranch
Chicken dumplings and big bands
Tuning it up at the rhythm ranch
Saxophones and romance
Uh-huh, baby, thats the rhythm ranch
The funkiest place you have ever seen
And you wont find it in a magazine
They got four-star service in 4/4 time
And sweet soul music to ease your mind
Yeah, its a real good deal with tons of feel

I was gone
I admit it, but baby, so were you
And I was wrong
Sometimes, baby, so are you
I might be less than ideal
But baby, you know Im for real
I aint perfect
You got angry
Yes you did, you said I wasnt home
But youre pretending
You know as well as I that I was alone
Baby, I heard what you said
And maybe I dont use my head
But honey, I am what I am
Try to understand
My hearts in your hand
I aint perfect but Im perfect for you
People talking
You hear them talking, saying I dont care
But dont you believe them
cause only fools believe everything they hear
And if I dont do all I should
That dont mean Im no good
Cause honey, I am what I am
Try to understand

Im not perfect but Im perfect for you

I want to tell you cause its true
I want to tell you in a way that sounds new
Its so old-fashioned - but thats the way I feel for you
Id heard the music of marvin gaye
But I finally understood it today
I heard the record like I never had before
And I just want to say thank you
For everything you do
Thank you for all the things that you do
Your love and kindness are heaven-sent
Now I know exactly what the man meant
When he said thank you for lettin me be myself
And now I know without a doubt
Just what sam & dave were talking about
You didnt have to, but you did just what you did
And I gotta say thank you
For everything you do
Thank you for all the things that you do
Youve heard the title a thousand times
Same old message but Im makin it mine
cause Im so thankful tat you came into my life
And I just gotta say thank you
For everything you do
Thank you for all the things that you do

Seems Like A Long Time
(t. anderson)
Nighttime is only the other side of daytime
But if youve ever waited for the sun
You know what its like to wish daytime would come
And dont it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Hard times are only the other side of good times
But if you ever wished hard times were gone
You know what its like to wish good times would come
And dont it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
Help me, seems like a long time
Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
And dont it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And dont it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seem like a long, long time
And dont it seems like a long time
Seems like a long time, seems like a long, long time
You know it makes me sad
Seems like a long time, seems like a long time
Seems like a long, long time
War time is only the other side of peace time
But if youve ever seen how wars are won
You know what its like to wish peace time would come
And dont it seem like a long time
Seem like a long time, seems like a long, long time

It's Music Time
It's Music Time - what shall I do?
It's Music Time today.
I haven't really thought it through
And it's Music Time today.
It doesn't have to last too long
This Music Time today.
We haven't finished our number work
We could miss Music Time today.
But Johnny and Jane will go berserk
If there's no Music Time today.
We could always sing that assembly song
At Music Time today.
I know they'll want to get the instruments out
At Music Time today.
But can I stand all that crashing about?
When it's Music Time today.
Maybe we could take turns to play?
At Music Time today.
And if there's too much noise we'll just put them away
At Music Time today.

Have A Good Time
Words & music by paul simon
Yesterday it was my birthday
I hung one more year on the line
I should be depressed
My lifes a mess
But Im having a good time
Oo, Ive been loving and loving and loving
Im exhausted from loving so well
I should go to bed
But a voice in my head
Says ah, what the hell
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Paranoia strikes deep in the heartland
But I think its all overdone
Exaggerating this and exaggerating that
They dont have no fun
I dont believe what I read in the papers
Theyre just out to capture my dime
I aint worrying
And I aint scurrying;
Im having a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Maybe Im laughing my way to disaster
Maybe my race has been run
Maybe Im blind to the fate of mankind
But what can be done?
So God bless the goods we was given
And God bless the u. s. of a.
And God bless our standard of livin
Lets keep it that way
And well all have a good time
Repeat and fade:
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time
Have a good time

Road To Nowhere
I tried to hang on for as long as I could
But now I can see that it just aint no good
Our love it has wasted
Right down to the core
Whatever we had
We dont have anymore
Youve got to get off a road to nowhere
Youve got to get off a road to nowhere
Well I tried and I tried to make things work out right
But I guess were two people who cant help but fight
Your eyes they are open
And oh so are mine
We both need our freedom
Dont you think its about time
Im trying to get off this road to nowhere
Im trying to get off this road to nowhere
(lead)
Thank you for the good times weve had in the past
But we both know enough to know good times dont last
Baby youre just no good for me
And Im no good for you
Lets not waste our time talkin
We both know what to do
Weve got to get off this road to nowhere
Its time to get off this road to nowhere
Youve got to get off this road to nowhere
Weve got to get off this road to nowhere

Workin’ It Out
Well I've been spendin' my life lookin' for a shoulder
To rest my head when the nights get colder
But the days are gettin' longer and I'm gettin' older
Been long time workin' it out
I been a long time workin' it out I been a long time workin' it out
I been a long time workin' it out I been a long time workin' it out
Now I got a little woman to scrub my floor
Right down the road I got me two or three more
And you know none of them knows about the one next door
I been a long time workin' it out
I been a long time workin' it out...
Well it was late one night when I stole a little money
I bought a couple of things and then gave them to my honey
And the judge said boy if you this that's funny
You got a long time workin' it out
I got a long time workin' it out...
[ guitar ]
Yeah well I look all around me and what do I see
The whole wide world got trouble like me
Between the taxes the missus and the deep blue sea
You'll be a long time workin' it out
We'll be a long time workin' it out...

To Play Some Music
Say everybody
And everyone
Weve been waitin, so very long
To play some music
And have some fun
Bring some happiness to everyone
Well come with us and try and learn
Whats on your mind
Open your ears and eyes and lets see what you can find
Youre not so different, I dont mean to be unkind
Somethings unfolding if you really take the time
So let the sun shine
Its just begun
Youve given all you could to anyone
Well dont you lose it
Dont run away
Its getting stronger, day after day
Youre sittin there, you say youre
Waiting for the show
And what you have, and what you
Hear is what you really want to know
Youve only come here cause heres
Nowhere else to go
Were only sorry, that we have
To end the show.

My Side Of Town
(wade hayes/chick rains)
Well I heard it through the grapevine
I guess it must be true
I heard that crowd youre running with
Has changed your attitude
Its been a month of sundays
Since youve been around
But you always had a good time
On my side of town
I knew that you were born to
The finer things in life
Caviar and foreign cars and bright big city lights
Now youre out there dancin
In a fancy evening gown
But you always had a good time
On my side of town
Dont forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
And Ill be right there waitin
til you come back around
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
I still dream about you
Every time the music starts
I still hold you close to me
Even though were far apart
If I ever cross your mind
You know where Im bound
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
Dont forget the one who really loves you
When the glamour starts to let you down
Ill be right here waitin
till you come back around
cause you always had a good time
On my side of town
You always had a good time
On my side of town

Said theyre movin to l.a.
Theres not a soul I know around
Everybodys leavin town
Some caught a freight, some caught a plane
Found the sunshine in the rain
They said this towns will waste their time
I guess theyre right, its wasting mine
Some gotta win, some gotta lose

Youre not a kid at thirty-three

A Long Time Gone
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still youre not there
Youre a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away til its all obsolete
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Door steps that shone in a bright summer sky
Lay shattered and wasted since our last goodbye
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Youre a long time gone
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Youre a long time gone
You never did
I never said goodbye
Youre a long time gone
