Girl, won't you wait up, there's something I've been meaning to say to you
Don't mean sound forward, but for you I'm sure that it's nothing new
Well you should hear how the other girls talk when you aren't around
They'll say anything, just about anything to bring you down
But I see how it makes you strong, so much stronger than they are
You shine bright like the north star, yeah, like the north star
Rachel, babe, I'm hopin' that you'll say
that you need me and you want me
Rachel, babe, I'm hopin' that you'll say
there's none above me, that you're thinkin' of me.
Oh, that girl is fine and I want to make her mine
Rachel, babe, won't you say that you love me.
I'm not gonna let you get away now, I've been holding back so long
'Cause it's eyes like yours, dear, that inspired ten thousand songs.
Well you should hear how the other girls talk when you aren't around
They'll say anything, just about anything to bring you down
But I see how it makes you strong, so much stronger than they are
You shine bright like the north star, yeah, like the north star
Rachel, babe, I'm hopin' that you'll say
that you need me and you want me
Rachel, babe, I'm hopin' that you'll say
there's none above me, that you're thinkin' of me.
Oh, that girl is fine and I want to make her mine
Rachel, babe, won't you say that you love me.

You're the Star
03:22

I want a fun lovin' girl who enjoys her life
One who truly believes that a smile can make anyone's life
or day or year, and that's why you're here. Oooo
One whose eyes can light up the day like the southwestern Florida sun and yeah,
you're the one, the one, oooo yeah you're the one
It's rare for someone to look through the dark
And enrapture, encapture, entrance from the start
Melissa, you're the star of my heart
I'll get a puppy for you, in fact, maybe two
And then there's Tyson and Coby.
What a happy family, you will see I just hope there's some room for me. Can't you see?
I hate running too, so who needs running shoes?
You could say all I really need is one thing and that's you! That's you, ohhh it's you.
Fortune cookies don't lie, so I can tell you love peace
And making you happy is all I could need
Melissa, you're the star of my heart
I know that you don't really know me
But why would that make me stop
If all you really want is to smile
Then this song should fill you with everything that you could want
You're a fun lovin' girl who enjoys her life
One who truly believes that a smile can make anyone's life
or day or year, and that's why I'm here. Oooo
You've got the eyes that can light up the day like the southwestern Florida sun and yeah,
I'm the one, the one, oh yeah I'm the one
If you travel west, won't you look out for me
I'll be the one singing out joyfully
Melissa, you're the star --
Want you for everything you are
Melissa, you're the star of my heart
(Repeat)
I learned the truth at seventeen, that love was made for beauty queens

Double Life
04:00
|
|||
|
Denise, how are things out east?
Since moving out there, I've been wondering if you care at all
Back when you lived out west, I must say, I preferred that best
It's a kind of double life I can not get behind, Oh yeah.
Is New York life just like on TV, or in movies?
Do the Huxtables live next door to you?
Do you reminice on the days when the Dodgers were in Brooklyn?
When Biggie Smalls died, did you just break down and cry?
Or did you celebrate his whole life?
Denise, I'm considering moving east
Since you've been out there, I've been wondering if you care at all
Back when you lived out west, I must say, I preferred that best
It's a kind of double life I can not get behind, Oh yeah.
I'm a lonely guy looking for a mate, what do you say?
How 'bout I take your hand and we go for a walk?
If you're fond of Italian men, then babe, I'm your friend
Won't you look no further, know that I'll be worth your time
Soon, I know, you'll be mine
Denise, my affection for you has increased
So I'll live a double life for you, out east.
I'm packing up all of my things for you
My shirts, my socks, guitars, hats and shoes
Taking it all there with me
To become the man I know I'm meant to be
No longer will I be a lonely man, Denise, take my hand
I'll be here for you all night and day
No longer will you lead a double life, you'll be alright
Weather west or east, it don't matter to me, with you is where I want to be, want to be
Denise, my affection for you will not cease
Since moving out here, I've thought only of you dear, it's true.
(I've thought of only you, Ooo)
Now that we both live out east, no longer will I live with grief
Our once double life's now the singular kind, oh yeah

Jennifer, oh, Jennifer. Don't you know I want you, don't you know I need you

Switcheroo
04:31
|
|||
|
I pulled the switcheroo again today. One more day, ooo
Why must it be so hard to be a decent human being? I don't know
Two-faced, no-good man is what they call me
No trace of honesty is left at all in me
What kind of man must I be? Some kind indeed.
Watch the strings my friend, you'll see, some kind of man I turned out to be
How lost is the fool who pulled that old switcheroo (Too far gone)
I like to think that you had learned one lesson or two (Or three, or four, or five, or how about at least one)
Two-faced, no-good man is what they call me
No trace of decency is left at all in me
What kind of man must I be? Some kind indeed.
Watch the strings my friend, you'll see, some kind of man I turned out to be

Cute Boots
03:00
|
|||
|
I've got a lady, what a pretty baby, takes the breath, oh, right out of me
Other boys see her, confident and eager, thinkin' they can take her away from me
But what they don't know is that it would be so easy to steal my little baby away
Just take her downtown, let her walk-a-walk around and then buy her something with heels in suede.
She wants another pair of cute boots, I hear her cryin' to me every night
Meanwhile, I need a new suit. Cute boots give me an awful fright
Oh, next time she needs some new shoes, I'll tell her "Get yourself right out of this door"
Oh Lord, won't you leave me out of this, please.
Steve Madden gets her goin, Rockport rock n' rollin', seems there's nothin' she won't take
Ooo, she loves the Ellie, Zoo York, even Etnies, she's filled the whole closet, for goodness sake
Sometimes I get the feeling that I could use a little bit of something for myself
Oh, but then she looks at me, and in her eyes I see that if I'm not careful I'll end up on the shelf
She wants another pair of cute boots, babe. I hear her cryin' to me every night
Meanwhile I need a new suit. Cute boots give me an awful fright
Oh, next time she needs some new shoes, I'll tell her "Get yourself right out of this door"
Oh Lord, won't you leave me out of this, please
Oh Lord, won't you leave me out of this, please
Lord, I'm dead broke now, you see?
Oh Lord, I guess it doesn't really matter to me
Lord, I guess it doesn't really matter to me

Mediocre Savior
04:02
|
|||
|
Look at me, I've had my fair share of abuse
Lord knows I've cried
Watched so many tears fall thinking "Why not, why not, why not?! Why not me, love, tell me why not?"
Tried and true, I've paid all my dues with years and years and years of unrequited love
Each time one girl seems to be a kind of savior for me, she leaves me
Believe me, it'll happen once more
I can't handle another heartache, oh no
I won't stand for one more try
I won't need you to life me up or help me walk, no,
I don't want another mediocre savior, I want you. I want you
You're the love supreme. Peaches and cream. Even Peaches & Herb, baby
Let's reunite until it feels so good
It's almost like you were watching me through all twelve stages of my life
Watching and waiting for a moment to shine bright.
I can't handle another heartache, oh no
I won't stand for one more try
I won't need you to life me up or help me walk, no,
I don't want another mediocre savior, I want you. I want you

Why So Serious?
02:20
|
|||
|
When you wear that grimace upon your face you know the whole world would rather be in some other place
You've got to give up the fight, the ladies know it ain't right, oh no.
Now I'm not sayin' you should be a joyous boy, nothing ridiculous like Rachel Ray, you can still enjoy
A bit of "Philadelphia" and still have time to rock a tune from "Born To Run"
You've got to see life, you've got be free
Why be serious when you don't got to be?
You know you've got to see life in a multitude of colors
Forget all the others and set your mind at ease
Why be a grouch? A louse? Why be a souse? I just don't understand, no
Lookin' at your face, tangled and out of place. Well here's your ace, your ace in the hole
Oh, you've got to see life, you've got to be free
Why be serious when you don't got to be
You know you've got to see life in a multitude of colors
Forget all the others and set your mind at ease

Uncle Phil Be Fat
00:56
|

|
You know he eats here often
There ain't no way to stop him
I'm tellin' you hey, get out of his way
He's gonna hit the buffet
Where he gonna hide at
With all those pounds of his fat
When he hears the dinner bell chime
Watch out for that big behind
Uncle Phil be fat, Uncle Phil be stout
Seen him do a lot of chewin',
But you know I ain't never seen him spit nothin' out
He's far from flat, and fun to poke fun at
You know it's an actual fact
His belly gets a real bad rap
Don't get caught under his big fat ass, cause Uncle Phil be fat.
Ol' Uncle Phil.
