He knows where his love lies
He knows where his love lies
He got all his riches
He don’t need no gold
~
He don’t eat little fishes
He don’t eat no flesh
He ran out from the city
He never going back
~
Does it make you feel loved
Does it make you feel proud
Does it make you feel good
He don’t care for fashion
He don’t wanna fight
He don’t need no god to protect him
He never going to die
Does it make you feel loved
Does it make you feel proud
Does it make you feel good
He knows where his love lies
He knows where his love lies
He’s got all his women his women all around him
He’s never getting old
Does it make you feel loved
Does it make you feel proud
Does it make you feel good
Does it make you feel loved
Does it make you feel proud
Does it make you feel good
He knows where his love lies
He knows where his love lies

3 am
Its 3 am and your not home
Gonna pack my bags I’m gone
You'll see my destination written in a magazine
Its 3 am rains coming down
Got the water on the ground
Beneath my feet as I walk calmly out of town
Its 3 am the stars are out
I hear the taxi drivers shout
I check my phone, I got my keys and a little cash
The streets are cold and Im so alone
My head is heavy, I’m a little stoned
I leave with nothing but my soul and some dignity
ch
Heaven take me you’ll never break me
Heaven take me
Heaven take me you’ll never break me
Heaven take me
Had the good times and you threw them all away
You just don’t even care
Times a wasting but times a fool
I’m never going back, never going back there
Its 3 am and your not home
Gonna pack my bags I’m gone
You'll see my destination written in a magazine
Its 3 am and your not home
Heard my message on he phone
That’s the last time you you’ll hear from me
ch
Heaven take me you’ll never break me
Heaven take me
Heaven take me you’ll never break me
Heaven take me
Heaven, heaven, heaven a little bit of heaven
Heaven, heaven, heaven a little bit of heaven
It’s 3 am an no ones home

How Do You Sleep

How do you sleep
All on my own the long drive home is all I get
the tight lipped smile but all the while I know the truth
the teary eye the long goodbye I yearn to stay
the whispered word you never heard not now not then
how do you sleep how do you sleep at night
don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you
how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you
watching while my heart breaks
how do you sleep how do you sleep at night
don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you
how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you
watching while my heart breaks
it’s come to this the painful kiss the best I get
the passion strong it lingers on it lingers on
the wound so deep but it will keep I wear it well
a loving touch but not as such it makes me die
how do you sleep how do you sleep at night
don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you
how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you
watching while my heart breaks
how do you sleep how do you sleep at night
don’t you know that I’m the one who loves you
how do you sleep it makes me weep at the thought of you
watching while my heart breaks

Don't make me wait
You wanted me more
I wasn't sure
I stood at your gate
you made me wait
there's no time for promises
I've heard them all before
you saidthat your leaving
well over there's the door
We did this before
evened the score
I, I realy tried
but you said I'd lied
there's no time for promises
I've heard them all before
you say that your leaving
well over there's the door
ch
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait
there's no time for promises
I've heard them all before
you say that your leaving
well over there's the door
You don't understand
I'm not your man
You don't want to cry
just say goodbye
there's no time for promises
I've heard them all before
you say that your leaving
well over there's the door
ch
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
Don't make me wait,
there's no time for promises
I've heard them all before
you say that your leaving
well over there's the door

That Woman

That Woman
My woman never make me rich
My woman she kicks me in the ditch
My woman never keeps me warm
My woman never brings me calm
and that’s the kind of woma I’ve been dancing with
I’m gonna get my fill.
That woman never make you rich,
That woman leave you in the ditch,
That woman never bring you calm,
That woman gonna bring you harm
And thats the kinda women you been dancing
with I’m gonna get my fill
Your woman gonna make me rich,
your woman left you in the ditch,
Your woman always brings me calm,
Your woman never do me harm.

Can't Get Happy

I just Can’t Get Happy
Never good at playing games
Its a failing of mine, I get caught every time
But right here now’s the thing
I look into your eyes and my heart starts to sing
Now I just can’t get happy without you
did you put a little spell on me
use some of that crazy voodoo
I just can’t get happy without you
cos I been around you all this time
and I know the crazy things that you do
Now they’re calling at my window pane
There’s a knock at my door
I check to make sure
I know it can’t be you
I crawl back into bed I don’t know what else to do
ch
I get sad when I’m alone
You make my house a happy home
When I’m alone in my bed
Id rather be with you instead
I just can’t smile without you
Can’t stop thinking ‘bout you babe
In my mind when I sleep
I’ve fallen in deep
So just you help yourself
You’re all I ever wanted, I don’t need no one else
Now I just can’t get happy without you
did you put a little spell on me
use some of that crazy voodoo
I just can’t get happy without you
cos I been around you all this time
and I know the crazy things that you do

Glad you came
Hey girl isn’t it a shame,
you left in early morning
and you didn’t even leave your name,
plane Jane, too much cocaine,
your name is in the frame
and I’m realy glad you came.
chorus
One night stand looking for a man,
I didn’t understand ‘till you took me by the hand
You said “if you dont gamble then you just won’t win,
it aint a sin it gets you out of the mess your in
When we first met I gave you all I got,
you looked so hot
and baby you hit the spot,
all night long we’re fire and thunder
you left before I could take your number and your number
chorus
So when the lights go out and you don’t know what to do and you’ve been lying awake watching the moon walkin through your window, well nowdon’t hesitate
just make sure you catch her name before the doors shut on her train
chorus
She said”
I ‘aint looking for someone that I can Talk to”
“or wanto to get inside my head”
“or thinks they love and understand me”
“I need a man to do right in my bed”
I said
“I think I got the picture and I’ve been on that road before I say we get down to some good old fashioned loving, before you walk right out that door”
