Pushing The Needle Too Far
Well I woke up this morning
Grey dawn
With a prayer on my breath
See I lost something precious
And godll save me
From losing myself
I said I think I know whats wrong
I think I know whats wrong
Now I met the queen and I understand why
Why she closed the door
Im not making excuses
But you know Ive been there a few times
You know I was
I was knocking on the door
I said I think I know whats wrong
I think I know whats wrong
Wrong wrong
Theres a man
He lived in a house
Had a family of five
Well he blew up the windows and the doors
He said I just couldnt
I just couldnt survive
Weve all been removed
In one way or another
We dont know our families
We dont need our brothers
Were pushing the needle too far
Pushing the needle too far
Well if you wake up in the morning
Grey dawn
Theres a prayer on your breath
See maybe you lost something precious
Godll save you
From losing yourself
I said I think I know whats wrong
Let me hear you
I think I know whats wrong
Theres queen who closed the door
The family that lies
People who turn
The cat that has died
A boy that ods
A girl with a gun
The world on its knees
And a band on the run
You know youd help me more
(the queen who closed the door)
By not giving in
(the family that lies)
You know youd help me more
(people who turn)
By not giving in
(and the cat that has died)
You know youd help me more
(a boy that ods)
By not giving in
(and a girl with a gun)
I said youd help me more
(the world on its knees)
Now dont you give in
(and a band on the run)
Ah now youd help me more
By not giving
I said dont you dare
(not giving in no)
Dont you dare
(not giving in no)
Dont you dare
Youd help me more
By not giving in
I said youd help me more
By not giving in
I said i
I think I know whats wrong
I think I know whats wrong
Were pushing the needle too far

Whats Wrong With That
I may be rotten to the core
And stop me if you think I am
A kid in a candy store
The same as any dirty old man
I know Im not the first to see
I guarantee Im not the last
So take some good advice from me
Just try it once before you ask
I hear an enticing voice
(live it up, live it up, do it now, boy)
I dont like the other choice
(live it up, live it up)
Chorus:
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with the fountain of youth
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Who you think is foolin who
And who will be the last to laugh
Heres another lame excuse
Youre old enough to be her dad
Ive heard all the reasons why
(give it up, give it up, take a powder)
I turn them my blindest eye
(give it up, give it up)
Repeat chorus
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a flower in bloom
Whats wrong with that
Whats wrong with a little self delusion
Days dont hide secrets of the heart
Only you and I do
Little white lies rip you right apart
And any way they want to
Life goes by, done before you start
I cant wait around to satisfy you
Chorus out

Space
I see it inside your eyes,
Feel it in your soul.
A part of you is moving on,
The other half is gone.
I dont know what you want from me,
No, you lock it all inside.
I try to give you everything,
But theres nothing else that I can hide.
Weve been trying so long.
Youve been pushing too hard.
You should say whats wrong and echo whats right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
When you and I all alone, it feels so damn crowded.
The house we share is not a home when youre inside it.
So, now, I go and pack my things, girl,
I must be moving on.
I couldnt stand to face you,
So i, I guess thats why I wrote this song.
Youve been trying so long.
Weve been pushing too hard.
You should say whats wrong and echo whats right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
Oh, oh, oh, weve been trying so long.
Youve been pushing too hard.
You should say whats wrong and echo whats right.
You need a little space and I need mine.
You need a little space and I need mine.

Clever girl
Think you are but you think too much
Shut down turn around
Dont look that way any more
Clever girl
Think you know but you dont know much
Try to make a move
Go to a different door
You know its all in your head
You better put that business to bed
By your fair hands of design you met with
The monster in your mind
You did it again
You did it again
Wont you listen to me when Im telling you its no good for you
Clever girl
Think youre right
But whats right from wrong?
Little miss genius
You make it hard on yourself
Clever girl
Youve got it all but youre all messed up
Time now turn around
Move onto something else
You know its all in your head
Youd better put that business to bed
What you see nobody sees
It only brings you to your knees
Clever girl
Think youre right

Find Out Whats Happening
(words & music by j. crutchfield)
Baby you know me well
You know I mean what I say
Before I say farewell
Ill give you just another day
Youd better find out whats happening
Find out whats happening before long, oh yeah
If you dont find out whats happening
Youre gonna find out that Ive gone now, oh yeah
Tell me what youre gonna do
Youd better make up your mind
It all depends on you
Im leaving you behind
Youd better find out whats happening
Find out whats happening before long, oh yeah
If you dont find out whats happening
Youre gonna find out that Ive gone now, oh yeah
Baby you know its true
Weve been through thick and thin
But if you dont come through
You wont ever see me again
Youd better find out whats happening
Find out whats happening before long, oh yeah
If you dont find out whats happening
Youre gonna find out that Ive gone now, oh yeah

Mrs Vandebilt
Down in the jungle living in a tent
You dont use money you dont pay rent
You dont ever know the time
But you dont mind
Ho hey ho...
When your light is on the blink
You never think of worrying
Whats the use of worrying?
When your bus has left the stop
Youd better drop your hurrying
Whats the use of hurrying?
Leave me alone mrs vandebilt
Ive got plenty of time of my own
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of hurrying?
Whats the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of hurrying?
Whats the use of anything?
Ho hey ho...
When your pile is one the wane
You dont complain of robbery
Run away dont bother me
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of anything?
Leave me alone mrs washington
Ive done plenty of time on my own
Whats the use of worrying?
Whats the use of hurrying? (no use!)
Whats the use of anything?

Think Again
Better call and collect
Treat me with respect
If you think our love is pedigree
Push a button... disconnect
Dial again... redirect
Youre wrong... you know it isnt me
Totally misguided
Babe youre misadvised
Dont even try to fight it
Youre promises are lies
Did you think our love was sacred
Well its much too over-rated
Think again... youre wrong
And our loves a precious memory
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again youre wrong
Dont need a horoscope
Dont need a telescope
To see the way you cheat on me
Think Id give up hope
Hanging by a rope
If I thought youd never set me free
Totally misguided
Think our love is strong
Think Id get excited?
I think youd got it wrong
Did you think our love was sacred
Well its much too over-rated
Think again... youre wrong
And our loves a precious memory
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again youre wrong
Ill admit to being confused
And Im used to being used
Think again... youre wrong
So wrong... so wrong... so wrong
Think again... think again... think!
Think again...think!
Think again... think!

Whats Up
Dede oneal & left eye
(appears on vinyl promo and black history month sampler)
This track is very rare
How long do I let this thing go on
Before I run away
Not begging you to stay
But Id like it if you could
And youre knowin that you should
Be down with the one
Thats gonna love you baby
So stay and stop drivin me crazy
Chorus:
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
Whats up
Whats up with you and me
Baby I wanna know
Whats up with us
You see Im not tryin
To ride and pressure you
If its somethin you dont wanna do
But I got to let you know
Your position must be known
There aint no reason to front
So I guess I will be blunt
And just let you know that
Im walkin out the door
Unless you tell me right now
What youre gonna do with my love
Oh baby
Chorus
I dont know why
But Ive always tried
Why dont you lay down
Why dont you hang up your tie
Whats up baby
Whats up baby baby baby baby
Oh
Dont be afraid and dont
You fade on my escapade
Fantasy lives within the dream
That we have made
Callin me up 6 in the mornin
The break of dawn and
Before I could imagine that youd be gone and
I think about the times we share
Call it do or dare
Ask me if Im bein fair
Do you really care
See me and you like a holiday
Never too late to celebrate in a lot of ways
Whats up
We really dont need to play
These guessing games no more
Whats up
I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more
Whats up
You really didnt need to play
These guessing games no more

I gave you all my love you said it was too much
You dont want no more

One To One
Tried to call you yesterday
But you were at the monday club
Or a communist demonstration
Who cares
Youre going somewere everyday
Vegetarians against the klan
Every woman against every man
Never
One to one
Whats wrong
Whats wrong with one to one
Just once
Just me and you
cause one to one is real
And you cant hide, just feel
That threes a crowd
I agree with what you say
But I dont wanna wear a badge
I dont wanna wave a banner like you
Though I dont mind it if you do
Youre beautiful when you get mad
Or is that a sexist observation
Or
One to one
Whats wrong

Just me and you

And you cant hide, just feel

Im Not Giving You Up
To be completely honest
It scares me to imagine
What life would be without you
And for this very reason
I ask you to forgive me
For what Im putting us through
Although there are so many things
Against us, Ive decided
That Im not giving you up, no...
Thinking back, I see what we have
Is something different
I think weve known all along
So how fair would it be
To divide this loves existence
Between whats right and whats wrong
And you, always wondering if well make it
Time will tell you
That Im not giving you up, no, no...
Well find a way to be together
However long it takes, wherever
If it means having you for only a moment
A moment just might be enough
Im not giving you up, no
No Im not giving you up, no
Screaming in the silence the promises weve spoken
Come back to haunt me, false and broken
Quiet desperation to see were lost forever
Searching for water in the desert
No, I refuse to have to do
Without your kisses
Im not giving you up, no, no
Well find a way to be together
However long it takes, wherever
If it means having you for only a moment
A moment just might be enough
Im not giving you up, no
No Im not giving you up, no
No Im not giving you up

One Choice
Theres only one reason left for me to stay
But you wont like the reason why
Tried so many times to get through the two of you
But you dont even want to try
Times are hard and people need all they have got
Look around and see whats left today
Aint so easy making it on your own
What more do I need to say
Theres only one choice to be made
And I cant help it
If you take the wrong way
Never knew a good thing
Till it moved away
Now its too late to turn it back
Youd buy the world if it would make me stay
Listen now to what I have to say
Theres only one choice to be made
And I cant help it
If you take the wrong way
Theres only one choice to be made
And I cant help it
If you take the wrong way
Sitting here thinking
But nothing seems to change
And I cant stand it anymore
Theres always someone trying to pull you down
Do you really want this constant war
Theres only one choice to be made
And I cant help it
If you take the wrong way
Theres only one choice to be made
And I cant help it
If you take the wrong way

Im like a spinning top
Going round and around
Well I dont know whats up
And I sure dont know whats down
Now watch me - Im like a spinning top
Cant tell day from night
Well I dont know whats wrong
And I sure dont know whats right
Now watch me
It started when I heard your song of love
Pouring down like honey from above
I started to spin
I started to move
Just like a needle
Thats sticking in the same old groove
Im like a spinning top

I was raised to believe what I see
So I pray to God
Give me strength
Help me breathe
When they suck
Life from me
Somethings wrong Anything

Wrong with me
I dont see
Anything Wrong with me
So I write and I pray
And I live day to day
And I wait
For the sun
And I love everyone
Still they find
Something wrong

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.

You Dont Have To Be Old To Be Wise
Ive had enough of being programmed
And told what I ought to do
Lets get one thing straight
Ill choose my fate
And its got nothing to do with you
The years are flying by and its time I got high
Took a sample of the good things in life
This is a chance
Im gonna take
Gonna kick out trouble and strife
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
No I dont care that the people stare
Accuse me of going mad
Just get a long hard look into the mirror
Then, tell me now whos been had
The way things are going I wont get to show em
Go single all the times up to me
So its off with the ties
No compromise
Wanna taste what its like to be free
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
I grow sick and tired of the same old lies
Might look a little young
So whats wrong
You dont have to be old to be wise
Alright, Im gonna gather my things
Go through the door
Live and let live from now on
At last a free hand, no longer pre-planned
I got a will of my own
I go as I please
Fend for myself
Pull all the stops, throw the dice
Out on my own, gonna go it alone
When I need it
Then Ill ask for advice
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise
You dont have to be old to be wise

Do What You Like
Dont tell me what you cant do
Never had a hold on you
And dont tell me where youd rather be
Just say the word, Ill set you free
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Dont tell me what you cant do, oh no
Give a little, I need a lot
You never think about what weve got
Maybe our breakup is long overdue
If its over me, its up to you
Dont make it harder than you need to
Youre old enough to hear the truth
Dont tell me what you cant do
Id do anything to make you stay
Id be a fool to let you get away
They say true love never runs smooth
But when its gone, what can you do?
You wont believe what you wont see
The only one youll lose is me
Do what you like, you know that you can, mmm
Dont let her go!
Maybe I should let her know
Ill try to be strong
But its wrong!

Prime Time
Cavalier roses, but the thorns got in my soul
Chocolate box intention, but a bitter taste left me cold
Take a little something, a present clouds the past
Traded our emotions, it couldnt last, wouldnt last at all
And though you didnt say
I knew youd swim away
Fine time for hook and line
And though whats done is done, yeah
I know my right from wrong
Prime time to cast me down!
Bitter suite decision, sofa so good the day we met
Eye for eye collision, pillow talking, only pillow talking
Matinee romancing, the bait is set, the net is cast
Cheated our emotions, it couldnt last
Wouldnt last at all
Although you didnt say
I knew youd swim away
Prime time for hook and line
And though whats done is done
I know my right from wrong
Prime time to cast me down!
And words are words thats all
Im going to stand or fall
Prime time for hook and line
Dont you swim away...
Prime time for the hook and line
Prime time for the hook and line
For the hook, the hook and line
Although you didnt say, yeah
I knew youd swim away
Prime time for hook and line
And though whats done is done, yeah
I know my right from wrong
Prime time to cast me down
Line by line adventure
A prime time for the hook and line
Castaway in pleasure
A prime time
Curtain razor tension
A prime time for the hook and line
Wasted our emotions
A prime time
