| (You've Become A) Habit to Me | |
|
Ain't no need to worry about it
Won't do you one bit of good
If you don't treat your baby
Treat your baby like you should
There's been a change in the weather
And it's so plain to see
So plain to see
Everybody's welcome to try
Try and get my airplane running
You're the only one can make it fly
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit
Don't be listening to no jealous friends
When they start slinging mud
And don't let nobody come between
'Cause I've got you in my blood
I wanna start dealing, dealing
Dealing in reality, reality
I'm just trying to survive
And keep my head above the waterline
So I won't get buried alive
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit
Not so very long ago
There was nothing you could say
That ever would
Have convinced me, darling
I couldn't turn and walk away
You got me stung out, baby
Stung out on the end of your line
Yeah, and the hook's in deep
Got the kind of love
Kind of love I wanna keep
Everybody's welcome to try
Try and get my airplane running
You're the only one can make it fly
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit to me
You've become a habit
No matter how hard I try
I just can't break free
You've become a habit to me
'Cause you're my honey and I'm your bee
A habit to me
I said -
You've become a habit to me
Habit to me, habit to me

| Drowning in the Sea of Love | |
|
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
I've been out here so very long
I done lost all my direction
Baby, when you came my way
Thought I had found my protection
But a strong wind came into my life
It surely took me by surprise
I can't seem to control these tears
That's falling from my eyes
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
Baby, I depended on you
For the love navigation
But now you've gone and deserted me
Can't you see that I'm in desperation
I'm in the middle of a bad love storm
And it's bad as it can be
I look around, all I can see
Is water coming down over me
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love, sea of love
I've been down one time
And I've been down two times
But right now I'm drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
Sea of love
But right now I'm just drowning
Drowning in the sea of love
A sea of love, sea of love

| Can't Get Enough | |
|
F/ Stevie Nicks
I've been tossing and turning all night
Staring into the darkness, afraid to turn on the light
It's got nothing to do with money
I can sing, I want you honey
And I just can't rest until I get it right
Cause when the morning breeze starts blowing
That's when you'll hear me call your name
That's when my love starts showing
It's getting serious, baby...
End of game
Cause I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
You got me walkin' round in circles
Yeah, I'm always pacing the floor
But this life I'm living without you
I just can't take no more
Well, the morning breeze starts blowin'
I can hear you call my name
That's when my love starts showin'
It's getting serious, baby...
End of game
Cause I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I...can't get enough of your love...
I...can't get enough of your love...
When the morning breeze starts blowing
I can hear it call your name
That's when my love starts showing
It's getting serious, baby...
End of game
Cause I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love
I said I can't get enough of your love
I can't get enough of your love...
I said I...can't get enough of your love...

| Go On | |
|
I said Lord up in heaven
Honey, what's been wrong with you
Just give me one good reason
For what we've been going through
Oh go on
'Cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you'd just leave me alone
So baby, go on
Are you sure you still love me
All you seem to want to do is fight
Always telling me
I can't do anything right
You'd better go on
You've got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
I'd rather you just leave me alone
So baby, go on
Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on
Go on
'Cause you brought me to my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on
Now I've run out of patience
And the chances are slim
Since I walked around the corner
Saw you kissing on him
You said he's just a long lost friend
If you please
You'd better take him home now
So darling, where's the keys
Go on, got me on my knees
Go on, do just what you please
You wanna lose your happy home
Then baby, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
I'd rather you just leave me alone
Baby, go on
Go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, go on, go on, baby, go on
Go on, baby, go on, go on . . .

| Let's Straighten It Out | |
|
Sit yourself down, girl
And talk to me
Tell me what's on your mind
Don't keep saying
Everything's ok, baby
'Cause if it was, girl
You wouldn't be crying
You've been tossing and turning
In your sleep lately, baby
Sitting around crying all day long
Now how in hell do you expect me
To understand, baby
When I don't even know what's wrong
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Well the last five nights
When we went to bed
Oh I could tell something wasn't right
When you turned your back
And you covered your head, baby
You didn't even say good-night
Now if you're tired
And you don't wanna be bothered, baby
Just say the word
And I'll leave you alone
Instead of lying there
Crying your eyes out
You and me oughta be getting it on
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out, baby
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Please let's straighten it out, baby
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out
Let's straighten it out now, baby

| Undercover Man | |
|
Here's a story how it goes
Or so they say
How a girl came along
Took a young boy and stole him away
(But) She loved him so
Treated him nice
They fell in love once
And they fell in love twice
Nothing went to waste, no
Not one little taste
So whatever you decide
Baby's (Honey's) all right with me
I'll understand
Wanna be your undercover man
Undercover man
So that's the story how it goes
Or so they say
How a girl came along
Took a young boy and stole him away
Said they was crazy
When they jumped the fence
They (ain't) never been seen
Or heard of since
Nothing went to waste, no
Not one little taste
So whatever you decide
Baby's (Honey's) all right with me
I'll understand
Wanna be your undercover man
Undercover man
Your undercover man
Your undercover man
Wanna be your undercover man
Undercover man
(But) She loved him so
Treated him nice
They fell in love once
And they fell in love twice
Nothing went to waste, no
Not one little taste
So whatever you decide
Baby's (Honey's) all right with me
I'll understand
Wanna be your undercover man
Undercover man
So that's the story how it goes
Or so they say
How a girl came along
Took a young boy and stole him away
Said they was crazy
When they jumped the fence
They (ain't) never been seen
Or heard of since
Nothing went to waste, no
Not one little taste
So whatever you decide
Baby's (Honey's) all right with me

| Lay Another Log on the Fire | |
|
All day long
I've been thinking about you, baby
With loving you on my mind
I couldn't hardly wait
To get home to you, baby
So I could do a little overtime
Baby, baby, you've been so good to me
I want to understand
If I want a do right woman
Then I've got to be a do right man
So I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Yes, I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Trying to keep Jody from my door
Oh I know I've been neglecting you
Lately, baby
Just trying to make ends meet
But tonight I'm gonna be
On my love job, baby
Me working on you, you working on me
Wine, music, and a little candlelight
Just to help me unwind
'Cause I know
I got so much love to give, baby
And tonight I'm gonna take my time
I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Said I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just trying to keep Jody from my door
I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Yes, I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just gotta keep Jody from my door
I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Before my flame gets too low
Think I'm gonna lay another log
On the fire, baby
Just trying to keep Jody from my door . . .

| Business With My Baby Tonight | |
|
My woman's been accusing me
Of stepping out
Jealous rumors have her mind filled
With so much doubt
And I've gotta convince her
I'm not doing her wrong
Before she leaves me
Sad and all alone
So when the clock hits five
I'll be gone
There's a matter
That I'm gonna settle later on
So if the boss man talks
About overtime
I'm just gonna smile
and pay him no mind
I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
We'll go out to dinner
At our favorite restaurant
I'll hold her hand
And tell her she's all I'll ever want
When we get home
I'll take her straight to paradise
And we'll still be loving
Till the morning light
I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
Now don't you start talking
About gossip or news
I'm warning you now
I'll put on my walking shoes
'Cause to me nothing in this world
Is a big deal
When it's compared to the way
She makes me feel, all right
I've got business with my baby tonight
We're gonna talk things over
And make things right
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight
B.B.'s got business tonight
We're gotta talk things over
And make things right
'Cause I couldn't sleep at all
Since we had our fight
I've got business with my baby tonight

| Take off Your Shoes | |
|
If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
Yeah, if you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
Yes, how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you
Coming home last night about half past ten
I saw you with another man, baby
Coming out of the Dewdrop Inn
You know I recognized the dress
I bought you, baby
To match your red shoes
But you said if I didn't touch you
Hey, I could have been used
If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
I wanna know how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you
Your love is so good, baby
You know it's hard to complain
But I've been out here knocking about fifteen minutes
In this cold pouring rain
I hear the music played inside
So you know I know you're at home
Who's in there with you, baby
I believe you are doing me wrong
If you're gonna walk on my love, baby
The least you can do is take off your shoes
I wanna know how can you hurt me so bad, baby
After I've been so good to you
Please walk beside me, baby
Why do you wanna treat me like a fool
Oh please, please, walk beside me, baby
Why do you treat me like a fool
If you're just gonna walk on my love, baby
Baby, please take off your shoes
Oh, baby, baby, baby
I know you hear me calling you
Oh, I know you know your name, baby
Why do you treat me just like a fool
Yeah, if you're just gonna
Gonna walk on my love, baby
Oh, do me a favor, please take off your shoes
Take 'em all, baby
Oh, yeah
